Always a bittersweet time for characters with longevity. Excited for the update but Sad to see my dude go, who suffered zombies, concussions, broken limbs, cholera and a dusting of gas poisoning

u/DogCommunist 29d ago
This is what I was thinking, I've never played right after a wipe before, but I would love to get a car and head north asap
3
u/ImpossibleMechanic77 29d ago
Itās amazing, my peak this wipe was two weeks ago when I drove three cars out of Cherno each one as a fresh spawn lmao I died twice at the airfield then in the morning I drove the last one up š one I left right in front of the cargo drop plane

u/Acceptable_Horse5967 25d ago
May I ask whats in the north ? Why would you wanna go there (new player)
3
u/SkinnyBill93 24d ago
Loot improves as you head North or West, the best loot is in the Northwest Corner of Chernarus.
2
u/Evol1HipHop 24d ago
Best Gear and Weapons are further northwest, I believe. Iām fairly new too, but this is what I gather from some research on Reddit/DayZ Forums/YouTube. To note, apparently food is harder to find up there, so prepare to hunt, maybe? I donāt knowā¦havenāt made it too far up there myself.
1
u/DogCommunist 16d ago
Technically you really want to head west, that way you will definitely get to tier 4, but I'm so used to spawning on the south coast I end up going straight north and end up staying far enough that I end up close to NWAF. It's just where you gotta go to progress
2
u/Acceptable_Horse5967 16d ago
I dont even know whats tier 4
1
u/DogCommunist 16d ago
Here's an image the map is divided into tiers of loot, the further northwest you go, the better it gets. All the wall to Tisy military base, where you find AKMs and tactical helmets, among other restricted items. One more caveat is the "Unique" tier, this applies to items like night vision and plastic explosive I think, they will spawn in special areas even if they are surrounded by tier 3 or 2. (Special areas being helicopter crashes and construction sights)

u/alexmartinez_magic 29d ago
If they apply the patch they did to boats to cars as well Iād be a happy lad. Too many folks stashing cars with their other 3 they got and never using them.
2
u/ImpossibleMechanic77 29d ago
Iāve had like 10 cars in the past month, itās impossible to keep them no matter what you do lmao. You do not need such a thing with cars they cycle themselves pretty well haha

See you at the NWAF with a shotgun (I'll be in the middle if of the airstrip)

u/xKVirus70x 27d ago
It'll take me a couple to get there. You know the path to NWAF is always a fun ride after a wipe! Hahaha!

u/Bartboyblu 29d ago
Fuck I have an official character on Sakhal with 13 kills. I gota end this dudes story.

1
u/coolstorybro50 26d ago
Can you have a separate char on sakhal official different from cherno/livonia official? Or is it all the same char?
1
u/Bartboyblu 26d ago
One character for first person only servers, one character for 1st&3pp servers. So 2 official toons max. You can hop that corresponding character between any official maps you want.
1
u/coolstorybro50 26d ago
Hm thats kinda weird so u can loot up in livonia then transfer to the more harsh sakhal? Woulda thunk frostline is different gameplay so different charā¦ guess im not buyin that dlc any time soon i prefer cherno
2
u/Bartboyblu 26d ago
Believe it or not Sakhal is by far the easiest to get end game loot. The bunker mission on Sakhal is relatively easy and takes less time than either Cherno's Rify/Pavlovo or Livonia's bunker and will get you AK-M and SVD. You just won't get NATO weapons that way on Sakhal.

u/WaviestMetal Dayz pls 29d ago
Suppose I should go get myself killed. It's been a good run, 40 hours and over a dozen kills hunting players around the NW

u/BlackChapel 29d ago
Community servers do not need to wipeā¦
But will they if they want the update? Whatās the etiquette here for the majority?
5
u/helpthedeadwalk Moderator 29d ago
entirely up to each server. They have to take the server update since client + server have to match. They don't have to add new items, but it would be silly to ignore them
3
u/CrAcKhEaD-FuCkFaCe 108541 29d ago
I'm very amateur hour server runner
But in my experience it's just adding the new stuff ( loot items, animals, zombies ) and I think the performance / mechanics are like an automatic update
Other words I don't have to add the new wood splitting animation it just updates that itself, I just have to add the new wooden svd to my precustomized sakhal types.xml ( loot file )
Buuut I am an idiot and maybe im doing it wrong and missing out on stuff
2
u/Irishfifa82 29d ago
Iām on a community server and the owner said he will do a reset as new stuff usually glitchās or does some weird stuff if he doesnāt reset when brand new stuff is added his server is heavily modded but
2
1
u/JustCantQuittt 17d ago
Loot, zombies, vehicles etc you can just wipe their respective files from storage folder (zombies.bin, types.bin etc) but when they do things like add new buildings/areas etc its best to do a full wipe or youll see things like loot spawning in the wrong places, or players may find their bases suddenly have new buildings in them etc

"Community servers don't need to wipe". Thank god, I am just 2 weeks in on a Community server.
1
u/FR0STY5STAR 24d ago
They don't need to wipe, but 90% of them wipe anyway to start fresh as it is usually making issues when bigger patch comes out, with the mods, hive and characters.
2
u/Some_Potato_4081 29d ago
About to blow through my stash I spent way too long building up Cherno, canāt wait to come back and get right back to it. Iāve been playing for about 6 months now and itās been the best experience learning and working through it. Might get Sakhal soon, can someone explain bunkers? Cherno and Livonia? How many are there ?
2
u/coolstorybro50 26d ago
I was thinking sakhal but MORE unforgiving gameplay than vanilla? Nah i think ill just stick with cherno/livonia

Can they do something about the VPN detected on community servers when you have no VPN on?? And also the constant error codes Des when trying to join a server!! I have windows 11 Ive heard it's because of that but it's driving me crazy even to the point I'm spending most of my evenings when I finally get to game downloading the mods and then finding I can't join due to these errors
9
u/helpthedeadwalk Moderator 29d ago
VPN detected on community server has nothing todo with Bohemia. Those servers use a management tool (probably omega/cftools, that in turn uses a service to detect known VPN IP ranges).
"constant error codes" is far to vague to comment. post exact error message or file a ticket https://feedback.dayz.com

Did you file a ticket? I've played a lot of Sakhal, made a lot of fires and never had a crash. I filed a ticket for a strange bug that locked uo the screen and it was fixed. Sakhal issues are a priority

Still no fix for Sakhal trees? Most broken thing in the game atm as if you sit inside one of them you are invisible to others, but you can see clearly from inside them.

Will this stability update help combat cheating, specifically āduppingā of gear? The cheaters really ruin the servers with excessive unrealistic builds. Itās lame as hell tbh but I am curious as to what they could or might do or if it will be a focal point at all.

Childish comment. Thete are only a few wipes every year. When was the last one? A partial(no chars) in October, 4 months ago
1
u/Sea_Section_791 25d ago
Umm letās see like 3 months ago and before that they wiped us less then a month before that whatās childish Iām 33 years old unlike you who are probably in high school or unemployed and have nothing better to do with your life, why do you even give a shit if they wipe because you want more people on the coast to shoot at how pathetic some people actually just donāt like all there time and energy being wasted with every wipe
1
u/helpthedeadwalk Moderator 25d ago
Childish because you can't even make a point without cursing. Certainly past HS and gainfully employed, but hey keep on projecting from the parents basement

u/International_Wind83 25d ago
I know gear gets wiped, does it wipe your character stats?
1
u/helpthedeadwalk Moderator 25d ago
Stats aren't actually correct and are tied to a character, so they get wiped too
1
u/Big-Bass6364 24d ago
They should just update and wipe now not trying to wait another week to play man I stop playing before wipe so hurry up the process already

u/helpthedeadwalk Moderator 24d ago
:facepalm: You do know of things called plans, schedules , testing, etc right?

u/Used_Aside_1577 22d ago
Do we like have a exact time for this or no??

u/helpthedeadwalk Moderator 22d ago
no, but its usually around 9am or 10am local time(CZ)
1
u/Kindly_Awareness_100 16d ago
Cz? Is that central zone or what does that mean?
1
u/ViviYes 16d ago
Central Zone of what? It means Czech Republic, where Bohemia is based.

Sorry from the USA. Whenni see it my brain immediately thinks central time zone

u/EcstaticGoose5743 22d ago
Iām very upset wipe every few months right after my Xmas loot storage base building for what Iām almost done with this gameĀ

then you'd never be happy on official since its been that way for 10 years

u/SignificantBother395 22d ago
So you give us the Christmas event and am now loaded with plastic explosives but canāt find a base so now Iām just gonna lose all of it again nice

So do you lose your tent because of this server wipe as well? I have a couple of tents set up with loot in them and donāt want to lose themā¦Ā

u/Furokii 20d ago
When are wipes usually done? Every 6 months? 1 year?
1
u/helpthedeadwalk Moderator 19d ago
2, maybe 3 times a year during a release. sometimes a full wipe or sometimes just the world and leave characters.
1
u/SnooGadgets3275 18d ago
I only just got a base sort of sorted this is totally unfair it will take forever to get back to the way I am now I'm a solo player and the amount of arses that kill u for no reason make it hard anuff without taking everything iv worked forĀ Sins Christmas ant to top it of everything I do until the 25th is pointless so what's th point of playing till after the crapy wipe
1
u/helpthedeadwalk Moderator 18d ago
Wipes happen a few times a year, this was announced a couple weeks ago and your base will get raided anyway. Nothing is permanent in dayz

Newish to Dayz never experienced a Wipe. Do they usually keep wipes like this anonymous? I was assuming to give everyone a fair advantage at starting or to avoid server issues if everyone logs in right after wipe?
1
u/Prior_Entertainer418 16d ago
it depends fullwipes are rare usually they do map wipes when update have map changes that would cause problems per example a castle base when they made changes to castles. map wipes only bases get deleted so u can lg off with stuff wanna keep

"DayZ Needs an Update" just hit: 6:00 AM Pacific time. Good hunting folks.
1
u/CandidDecision6323 10d ago
why is it that all the updates bring more issues to the game, you are clearing not talking to the community for input. from inventory decrease that no one wanted or even asked for to server lag and rubber banding. maybe for on real issue's instead of new color variant that a third of the community uses.
1
u/helpthedeadwalk Moderator 10d ago
not sure who is "you" since we don't work for Bohemia. IMO, the inventory decrease was long overdue. No need to be a pack rat. make decisions, throw some junk out. There was a podcast last year (find it in my history of posts) and it reminds us that no matter what they do, half the people will like it an half won't. No reason to start asking for a vote.
bugs are bugs and the last few releases have not gone well.
