The most honest trailer of my favourite running simulator. B-)=

Is anyone else finding the ambient noises are obnoxiously loud? whenever I play these days I have to turn down the master volume greatly in order to avoid the ambient noises, which seem to be louder than gunshots. This results in me not being able to hear anything, which is really annoying.

Is there any mention of an ambient noise volume slider?

edit: the ambient noises in 0.62* are way too loud

1. I want to be able to drag my uncontious friends out of enemy fire while my other friends are doing supresssive fire.

2. I want to be able to drag my prays inside buildings to loot them in safety.

Is it possible to make uncon and dead people into ragdolls that you can drag?

you guys got any good high res images of landscapes in different weather patterns?

Hey all,

My excitement has been rejuvenated for the game once more and I'm looking to pick it up again. I'm also learning German in school and thought this would be a great way to practice too. Does anyone know of any German servers where people are active and might be willing to walk & talk? Or if there are any German speakers on DUG or another server who might be willing to hang out in the future?

Thanks in advance!

I've Taken a huge interest in the game recently because not a lot of games offer what it has... I'm hoping to Record it on youtube because of Ive really enjoyed videos on it by other creators. anyone know where I can buy it for the cheapest price? like a steam Cd key or what price it usually drops on steam sales?

Hi guys!
So I've been playing DayZ back in 2012-2014 and I've got a bit over 160 hours of played time.

I've tried playing again about a month ago, and yesterday as well, and I always come across the same problem: it seems like there is considerably less loot, doesn't matter which server I pick. Heck, I can't even stay alive longe than 1 hour. It ends up raining, I get cold, I get thirsty (until I find a fountain, so that's usually okay) and hungry. I've found 3 food items over the course of 2hrs30mins and 4 characters, and I was in decent sized cities (didn't go to Electro or anything because of the zombies and having no melee weapon).

I couldn't even make a campfire to heat up, so I kept getting hypothermia, but I couldn't avoid the rain because I had to run around and loot.

Is anyone else having the same issue? Back in the days, it wasn't as hard to survive. It was a bit challenging at first, but after an hour, you'd usually have a few things to eat and to drink, a decent melee weapon, bandages and other useful tools.

Most servers just seem pretty much empty, and if I do find loot, it's mainly useless stuff.

Every once in a while I take a peek at the SteamDB for Dayz to see if I notice a exp being put up or anything and today I decide to click on the content number and decided to look through everything that was in the build and I come across

• vehicles_tracked.pbo and
• vehicles_tracked.pbo.dayz.bisign

After seeing this I started to think that the only thing that would take tracks would either be a tank like vehicle or train carts that you can move around the map on by way of train tracks. Maybe I'm just looking into this to far, but hopefully maybe we can figure out what this will be because afaik I dont recall them bringing up anything about trains or tanks in beta.

Stable servers are down for scheduled maintenance from 07:00 GMT.

In 0.62 we had a truly amazing change to the color pallete of the game, making SA look a lot more post apocalyptic with less saturation, more watered down colors that helped create the decaying atmosphere that was present with the old A2 engine.

In the last SR I've noticed that they are changing the brightness/saturation levels and that the results are exactly the opposite from what 0.62 achieved, and that it looks that in 0.63 we gonna have a cheerful world, full of light, colors and joy/s.

At the same time I'm worried that the new lighting settings will make it harder to hide/camouflage from other players, since everything is so visible, and that nights are getting more light too :/.

I really can't understand where is the graphic team going with all their back and forth changes to the visual appeal of the game.

So I played a few hours of the Arma II mod back in the days. Only had 25 hours since alpha release, but I finally found a great server with great people to play with.

This game can be so much fun, it's unbelievable. I just hope it won't be too late at the full release for the game to succeed again.

But until then I'll have a great time.

hi,

i think a sliding down of ladders, should only be possible while wearing gloves. otherwise the character should get a handdamage, or maybe fall of the ladder (because of burning the hands).

this solution could give wearing gloves a little bit more relevance.

what do you guys think?

edit: spawn with t shirt*

I think a cool one for alpha purchasers like "In Beta I Trusted" as I suggested in the thread.

There should also be one for people who buy in beta like what someone else posted "I survived DayZ pre-release and all I got was this stupid t-shirt".

The thread had some great ideas for words to put on the shirts. Lets come up with the best.

e2: another great idea, t shirts for milestones. 100/200/500/1000 hours /u/cannuckgamer

I've had these concerns for a while but I just wanted to ask about it in case someone could alleviate them.

Way back when we had that Gamescom Demo for 3.0 .63 I noticed that they're adding in a stamina bar. While that in and of itself isn't such a bad thing, I did quickly realize that sprinting is just about the only thing in this game that makes the arduous task of meeting up with friends less tedious. Yes, finding a vehicle helps, but that's wholly based on chance. Sprinting is about the only sure fire way to expedite that process, and even now, it doesn't expedite it by what most would consider an acceptable amount

So how, or will, they balance that aspect of the game. Will we finally get access to more common vehicle types like bicycles and the like? Could they potentially just add a party system that allows players in a party to spawn closer together? Or are we going to have to moderately jog up and down the coast of Chernarus? I really hope they haven't just overlooked this aspect of the player experience because their testing doesn't involve trying to find other members of the dev team.

We will be able to break all of peoples arms and legs without worrying that they'll die. What are the other sadistic use cases?

Better to be pleasantly suprised than dissapointed

I keep seeing people post this, or similar comments in places like the official Facebook or other subs.

I know people have left, but they've always been replaced. Usually by someone moving up the ladder... Like in every other organisation.

Have I missed something? Didn't BI hire a load of new people in the first year?

Here is something I made a while back that I want to share with you gents.

https://imgur.com/gallery/XnrPr

My first few attempts to play were insanely disorienting. I wouldn't know where I was and it didn't help that there was no keybind for a map I could just pop up. Ended up having a web browser open to learn all the roads, tree, and hill in the coast. This picture is my adventure of learning how the map looks in land. I would try to track where I would be every single day, by day, I mean the 4-8 hour sessions I would play before I disconnected. Here is my small adveture I did, roughly I think I would stay in the big cities for a whole game session meeting nakeds or fighting geared assholes. I believe ended up dying at the airport because some kid glitched inside the walls killed me.

Most fun I had in a long time. 9/10 I would have recommended my friends to get it then.

I'm primarily a console player. Don't want a desktop. So what would y'all say is a good laptop that can play dayz at low settings at like 30 ish fps

I just started playing dayz after looong brake, first my friend finds a offroad 4x4. At this point i was fcking excited. We go and found everything it needed to run. Engine says nothing not working googled about that and found out that cars can just be ruined so they dont work. I was like ok lets keep going and we head to NWA like no worries. We are at grishino we hear one shot we see guy running away from us we open fire like a fking bandits we didnt see did if we killed him we hear more shots we cant see anybody we are hiding in building and we both die in a under 30 seconds to a guy who we didnt even see. Are there cheaters or what was the deal? Not gonna go back to dayz in a while lost my interest for good time here.

Regarding this status report's ladder mechanics

Devs should ditch pressing button action in favor like it is in most of games (gta 5 for example).

Ive neen killed by zombies lots of times in the mod because instead to climb a ladder to save my life I had to pixel hunt the right spot in order to activate the action.

I see they improved this a bit, but wouldn't it be much better just to walk to a ladder and start climbing it without unnecessary button mashing.

...but i think its safe to say 0.62 is.

I'm sure people will still post 10 times asking why there's no status report yet. They come out pretty late in the day usually. Unless the devs delay it and tel us, there should be one.

I bet we're gonna get it guys. Today is the day. I will NOT be disappointed

The EA description got updated, the goal for departure from EA is now set to 2018 and the final price for dayz went up 5€ to 44.99€ ($ price stayed the same at 49.99$).

You're welcome.

I haven't played the game in at least two years probably closer to three and I was wondering if you fellows had some tips for this crazy hobo.

Actually probably 4 years.

If this game goes to BETA this year it will be a broken unplayable game. i lost all hope for this game, the time it could have shined has long past. Pretty sure the SR today will mention no PC dates but will tell us how far they have come with PS4 & XBOX version! They are focused on consoles because they are a company that needs to make money and thats were the cash is!

Where do you always find a vehicle spawn? Do you consider anywhere lucky or maybe out of the way enough there is always something there?

I don't play often due to work and stuff but it seems every time I hop on, the servers don't have many players, they all say low. Are there any community servers that are recommended? I suck at this game btw.

Does anyone have any tips on getting sli working well in dayz? I'm using Nvidia inspector and some arma2 settings, but most of the time my 980ti's run at about 50%-60%.

Hi,

I made a strawpoll of multiple locations that are around the map. I'm generally intrested in where people like to loot and where people run around, since i never manage to find anyone. It may just be bad luck but let's see what the poll shows.

All you have to do is vote on your favourite locations around the map!

MULTIPLE ANSWERS ARE ALLOWED!!! https://www.strawpoll.me/15156326

See you in Cherno bois

Do you think they should make ghillie suit a spawnable item again?
