DayZ "Endgame"

[Siegfried 20]

So I've been playing DayZ for a little while now, and I think I have reached the point of "endgame" so to speak on the public hive, I'm fully geared etc. Been to all Cherno/Electro/Stary etc, got millitary grade weapons from NW airbase (AS50, M4A1 etc), got a ghille, map compass etc. What does one do at this point in DayZ? I'd prefer not to become a bandit or sniper as I know what it's like to be killed over and over when you're a noob. I'm thinking about trying to get a vehicle (What's an easy way to get one) , but I tend to change servers whenever I play. (I've played about 14 hours total).

There is no endgame, just survive.

Take a sniperrifle, go to Cherno and starts hunting bandits.

I forgo getting cars when playing by my self. I go to the major cities and snipe. however i dont kill unarmed players even if they are a bandit. Once the bandit gets a weapon i watch until he uses it. I kill hostile people in the city and i look for other snipers that are shooting anything that moves. Thats how i spend my time

As far as my experience goes, it's not as simple as that. People don't trust someone sitting on the outskirts of a town with a sniper in their hand, especially not if it were a AS50. You're likely to get killed by the people you want to "protect", or by fresh spawns that see their chance to get a fracking handcanon straight of the bat with little to no risk. Being in a hero skin changes nothing, sadly. But in reality, I don't blame people who don't trust a sniper outside Cherno or Elektro though, I sure as hell wouldn't. And besides, it's one shot and you're given away. The reason why bandits are able to kill so many, so easily is because of server hopping after shooting and killing their target.

I vote "endgame" for negative buzzword of 2005-2012.

This game is about the journey, not the destination. Every game is, heck, life is. So why do people keep expecting a glorious mountain of fun at the very end of something..

Anyway, enough of the rant. If you havent even found a vehicle yet, there's still plenty to do. Explore the fringes of the map, looking for camps (that's where the vehicles are hidden). Alternatively, keep an overwatch over Airfields and high industrial zones (where Helis tend to come to refuel). You can also try Counter-Sniping in Cherno and Elektro, killing wanna be Pro-Snipers sitting there, waiting for freshly spawned players. Or you could try one of the half dozen different maps out there, offering fresh takes on the game (like Namalsk being about staying warm, while also having a lot more vehicles)

Or you could just do some epic stuff that sounds fun to you, die in a glorious blast and experience the thrill of first-day survival all over again.

I have reached nearly 500hrs on Dayz and now I'm having a lot of fun fixing vehicles and helis...

Why not take up going round helping new players, go round healing others, giving them weapons, making their playing experience also a lot better, PLUS you may even get the hero skin (if you have not already got it that is) You could also try to find a server you can stick to and build a base and a small clan, go round killing bandits and like i said helping new players.

DayZ end game? You must aquire the golden AKM Kobra and hunt down the bigfoot on Green Mountain while chugging a Mt. Dew. Only then have you become an elite Dayz player!

but I tend to change servers whenever I play.

This is one reason why I play on a private hive (Wireworld EU) - it doesn't make much sense to maintain tents or vehicles when they're spread across several public hive servers. I'd rather pick one great server, free of hackers and stupidity, and stick to it.

Whilst I mostly play alone, I'm always on the Wireworld Teamspeak talking to the other guys. Whenever I want I can join them for a mission, whether it be a rescue/medical emergency, repairing a vehicle, a chopper run looking for heli-crashes, hunting other players, messing about in the bi-plane (v175), etc. Or I can tell them that tonight I'm playing against them and make my own channel.

There's only so much of a 'survival' aspect to the game for a lone player (although the zombies in the latest 175 beta are insane at the moment!). I'd encourage you to find a server with a Teamspeak and get to know some of the other players. For moments when you want to play solo, you can always mute it. You're welcome to try Wireworld! I'll help you get geared up again.

Yeah, for me "end game" that is, the point in which basic survival means have been met (i assume?) involves finding more tents for more gear, vehicles of any description, and heli's ofc.

But if you really need an absolute end point, a point where you would normally get an achievement and such. then.. Mountain Dew

Declare war on the server admins.

Satchel charge the church and tell everyone there's going to be a gear giveaway inside in 30 minutes.

Agreed. Even just firing a sniper rifle in Elektro or Cherno can make some people believe you're hostile even if you're just trying to protect bambis. I've done counter sniping before and you always want to make sure you have at least one person watching your back incase someone sneaks up and tries to kill you.
