What happened to my DayZ?!

[Izziee 128]

Been away some time, had some nice gear that I "worked" hard to get, stopped playing as all I read was hackers this hackers that, but missed the game a lot, it was always a special game to me since it's the only one to ever invoke emotions. Never actually saw a hacker though.

But I thought I'd try again, update it all and log in, only to find my character not with it's stuff. However, I started with some weapons and such, which to be honest, I wasn't too happy about, then I tried a few different servers, sniper rifles in my inventory on one, mp5 in another...etc etc. vehicles all over the fucking place.

What the hell is this shit? Casuals always ruin stuff and DayZ was probably one of the least casual friendly game I've played, even EvE was a lot more casual friendly.

Now I start with weapons, great? Whats the point? I die and I'll have new weapons, where's the suspense? Vehicles? Super, now everyone has one and they aren't rare anymore, so no buzz when you find one. Food? Oh yeah, don't worry about that, we'll start you with a box of matches and a knife, and a water bottle to boot.

So now it's just a death match - A really large death match, with very little shooting.

I tried to filter official servers only, in the hope I'd either start with my old gear that I worked for, or with nothing at all (and yes, I know damn well I can just "drop everything") but alas, all 6000 of the servers vanished on DayZ commander and it showed no official servers, just "Wow 1000+ vehicles! Start with everything :D:D:D:D" servers.

What a load of crap.

When the SA was announced, I'm sure he said he would have it by X-mas (last X-mas) I haven't actually followed it since, but I sure hope to god it doesn't cater to these casuals who ruin every single game out there, and boy are there enough of them for them, why do they have to ruin the only game that didn't cater to their terribad talent of being able to not cope without having their little hands held

Find a vanilla server. It isn't that difficult.

It's okay.

*pat pat*

We all know that feeling.

You must have logged on to a private server that starts you with guns and like 1000 cars :P I avoid these servers. You can push hide unofficial on dayz commander and you will have all the old public hives.

[Blondedash 403]

you got to find a good server try ask people around here if they know of a good server cough balota buddies, uk #1, etc. cough

Finding a vanilla server with a decent amount of people is abit tricky....in my experiences.

Vanilla/server that isn't heavily modified and has no starting gear except for the original basics.

I already said I did that. With that and the filter set to hide empty, hide full, and have 5+ people, none came up.

It's many private servers that are catering to casual players, not the mod itself. If you read some of the many recent change-logs you will see that if anything the mod is getting harder.

Spend some time browsing and find yourself a decent server, it really is as easy as that.

Honestly...do what he said or play on private hives which are vanilla like BB, mydayz.de etc.

Or just keep crying :(

I tend to stick away from servers with starting gear, not only does it take away the goals of the game and encourage banditry (like you said), but they attract a lot of noobs and a trigger-happy bambi is the last thing you want to see in this game. :| The horror.

Check your filters again. Do you have wrong Arma and Dayz versions filtered as well?

Make sure all your files are up to date. You should be seeing servers.

US 520 is a public/official Vanilla server. You should try it out
