I used to play dayz, i just reinstalled OP ARROWHEAD from steam, it automatically updates to version 1.62.95248, but every dayz server seems to be 1.62.103419. I can't find a single server to join. What do i do?

i completely agree. just hearing of a console release lowers my expectations for the game on pc, it could even effect my decision to purchase the game, considering i have already paid £25 for it. please make a proper pc version, and fill it out with new ideas and content, and charge $60 for it. this will be much better than releasing the game almost as it is for $15, and then going to work on console versions. just please set your efforts on making a great pc game with alot of depth, and you will have plenty of support and money in the end.

read a book, then perhaps a few lines of text will not be so intimidating for you.

but there needs to be more depth, and that is what gethering natural resources is about. once survival is largely ensured, you and your friends can try to lay claim to a town, and use the facilities of the town to produce stuff from the raw materials that are gathered. and then people will want to join you so they can enjoy the safety of your town, or they want free passage to another town or bandits can try and invade and take it over, etc. so it introduces politics. the game gets very dull as things are. the changes i suggest are to allow players to rebuild some kind of society of their own, which will be the real interesting thing, it is what changes it from a game you can perhaps play for 100 hours, to a game you might play for thousands of hours. ps: i dont want towns to be any different to how they are already, just with perhaps a metalworking shop, or facilities to do some tradeskilling, to give some worth and reason to protect them.

i dont propose any safe zones.

tl:dr i want ultima online with the arma engine i think the dayz crew are heading down the wrong path here, looking at releasing a quick pc version for $15 and then looking at consoles. they can make dayz so much bigger and better than that. this game will always be a one trick pony which people will eventually get bored of because there is no end game. heres the direction i would be excited about if the developers went for it; increase the map size considerably. and make it a little denser. increase the average server population to about 200 people per server basically go to town introducing old school (ie pre wow) MMORPG ideals. Tradeskills. let people mine for metal and ores on hillsides, cliffs and mountains. let them make basic weapons all the way up to guns and sell them/swap them/bank them Let people hunt animals and make clothes from the hides let people have an economy, with a reason to trade goods between towns. (ie you can make certain things using resources, but differing towns are near to different resources so some travelling needs to occur to get the best price/swap/deal for those resources) Introduce public houses so trusted people or even societies can use them to meet, chat and trade together. with 200 (or more) people per server, there will be more groups forming, and they will want to protect towns for their own security so they can a: hold a monopoly of the resources that spawn there, b:trade and create their own resources to survive with in relative safety. so pubs in controlled towns should be fairly safe, a good place to go and introduce yourself if you want to operate around that area and use town facilities for a while. forget about zombies. or atleast have levels for them so you can make some areas more difficult for a better chance of good loot. perhaps - also have levels for tradeskills perhaps - get rid of perma death, and allow a limited number of incarnations under one "life". but keep looting ofcourse. i know this seems like a completely different game, but perhaps dayz can be the inspiration which forms a far greater thing. it can be the champion of the old school mmorpg that comes back to defeat WoW and all other bs, questathon, lame instanced pvp and no looting mmo's for once and all. thats what i'd like to see anyway. the very worst thing they can do, in my opinion, is leave it there as a $15 pc game and then go and spend a load of time and energy releasing it on consoles which are on their last legs already, dayz will look awful on, and ultimately will be a poor game because of the simplification of controls.

ofcourse not. im not an depraved inbred moron.

i havnt yet run into a hacker in 2 weeks of playing. i have a sneeky feeling that it is a problem with american and russian servers, and perhaps eastern eu servers, but not so much english, french or german. because of cultural/educational differences. perhaps only using 25 man or under servers makes a difference too.

lol. then why do you do it? you are a first class pussy. a shame on your nation. you are troubling other people for nothing other than a depraved fetish on your behalf for a little bit of power. you are a coward because you cannot even show this power through skill, through giving someone an equal fight, you have to hide away and shoot unarmed people, so you can feel safe while you go on your little ego trip because you know you couldnt give anyone a square fight.

*unfashionable wall of text incoming, if you dont have the concentration span, fine, just dont spam the thread letting us know you dont with "tl:dr". * All the murder of innocent people, the pathetic excuses for killing unarmed, non threatening people. it will all happen in real life, because sadly, the same people playing the game are the majority of people around the world, the mindset is the same. they are all atheists whome science is their god. that is what they believe themselves to be, but in biblical terms they are satans army of revelations. they are the army of the "new world order", they are the amoral people of babylon, who christ came down to disperse across the world because he did not want all the world unified and controlled under lucifer. They are capable of great evil, because they have no idea of anything better. the continual attacks on religion, making it fashionable to ridicule, the attacks by science, the false flag projects framing religious people as dangerous and extreme. they have all worked to create an amoral generation who believe in nothing. who do not know right from wrong. who cannot see why helping someone else, helps themselves. who do not treat others like they would like to be treated, because they have not been taught the consequence of their actions. they think of themselves proudly as atheists, but really they are the brainchild of satanists. Yes, if you are an atheist, realise that you are being used to SATANIC ends. you are actually THE DEVIL. Lets see what Albert Pike, sovereign grand freemason, only confederate to have his statue in washington dc, had to say about it: "The true name of Satan, the Kabalists say, is that of Yahveh reversed; for Satan is not a black god but the negation of God. The Devil is the personification of Atheism or Idolatry." Only believing in science will destroy us. only believing in science is the antichrist spirit which enslave mankind unto lucifer. simply because of the collatoral effects, the meta game. it makes it impossible for humans to be free, when not adhering to religious morals. the richest man, with no idea of morals, will enslave or kill us all at his whim. that is the outcome of this path we're heading down, Lets see what he said about WW3, in the late 1800's: "The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the "agentur" of the "Illuminati" between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel<america and the west are a part of the state of israel>) mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion…We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view. This manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time." 4 So you see, the characteristics you see in DAYZ when interacting with other players, every time it annoys you to be murdered, know that soon, when the right situation is brought about, it will be in real life you are dealing with these people. So do not jump in when your friends ridicule religion, because you are being manipulated, manipulated by satan, by everything you have been tought not to believe in. stand up for morality, for doing right, even when the benefits appear null. realise that only the idea of something better, higher, fairer, can give a society the inspiration to progress and develop. if that inspiration isnt there, we are all doomed. And when you see some cocky atheists, who are atheists sheerly out of greed, so they can feel good about themselves because society tells them they are clever and correct. teach them the truth of how they are just a tool, which is being used to enslave and destroy humanity, and bring about the most bloody cataclysm humans have ever witnessed. well, thats just been floating around, i had to get it out of my system. i hope someone takes note.

the whole server doesnt want to hear you sucking eachothers cock. shut up.

no. not unless theres a way to select items in your inventory other than clicking them with a mouse.

still havnt even found a bike in a week of playing. just lettin' you know.

op is right. this is the only thing to do, the end game of dayz. try to bring civilisation and safety to the world, or try to bring chaos and banditry. i would like to see more reason to protect cities. perhaps some time in the future when there are many more items, we can also have town pubs, where people will meet and trade and talk. then there would be more reason to protect cities. what id really like though is to see an even bigger map, 300 people per server, and some kind of system whereby cities are somewhat dependant on eachother through trade and on the income of resources ie metal, water, grain etc. so then cities are centers where everything needed to survive is produced from the raw materials. so you have a reason to protect the cities with allies as they can be a safe haven. but because youd have more people working for a city, bandits can also work together to try and take the cities and rule them how they want, and loners can do as they do know walking the thin road between civilisation and chaos. this is the game im hoping comes out of this dayz experiment.

first thing a noob should do when they login, is run 15 minutes inland. then "start" the game. running around the coast, where everyone spawns, is always empty of loot, and more dangerous.
