Are there missions to do?

[n612ua 1]

Hello, I have never played arma or the dayz mod.  I have only played dayz standalone for about 30 hours.  On standalone I find a server I like and join, I do my own thing and go where ever I want.  I decided to get the arma 2 collection for the dayz mod since it was 80% off on steam. 

 

When I am looking at servers to join on the mod, there is a spot saying mission time left.  I see alot of 15 minutes left, Is there a set mission or can I ignore that and do whatever I want?  I'm not really interested in doing set missions at all.  I currently have not played the mod yet as most of the time I try and get in I get an error message.  Someone else is having that issuse and they posted under troubleshooting.  I then posted in there as well so once I get that figured out I'll be ready to play. 

 

Thanks for any help/advice.

Hello,

 

You can do whatever you want. The missions are just a great way to gear up and earn money.

If you can show me what error you get or give me a link to the post I might be able to help.

 

Also if you can play feel free to join my server at ip: 212.129.63.214:2302

Oh ok cool. So the missions are there just if you want to do it.  Here is the link http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/214375-help-error-when-joining-any-epoch-server/ I am guessing I was having problems cause I didn't know epoch was also a mod.  However I just installed epoch 1.0.5.1, so i'll see if it works now.

Yes, epoch is another mod. I have an overpoch server which means you need to download it. Just search for what you like most. There are plenty of guides out there on how to join your favorite server. You can also use a launcher like DayZ Launcher or DayZ Commander.

I was able to get one two servers to load.  After the requestiong authentication screen I got this message.  you were kicked off the game. (BattlEye: PubliceVariable Restriction #0)  I tried to use the search on the server screen for the server you listed, it did not find it.  Is there a differnet way to search for those?  Also I will look for the differance's between epoch and overpoch to see what I think i'll like better.

 

Thanks again.
