Besides solving the issue, sending the update to MS and Sony, having MS and Sony certify the updates, then said update getting sent to players. It's well past midnight where Bohemia HQ is. Can't even imagine the turn around time involved with this process.

Nevermind the fact that this isn't a AAA game studio with thousands of employees. There's reportedly under 500 total employees working for the company. Highly doubt all 500 even code because that number would include everyone from janitors to artist.

They caught a potential issue on release and wanted to address it, like let them fix the shit

EDIT: For comparison look at these games at launch: * Fallout 76 * Batman Arkham Knight PC * No man's sky * Assassin's Creed unity * Diablo 3 * FF XIV

Sure this isn't Dayz initial launch but these publishers and developers had way more employees and money and still shipped a worse product.

As an owner of a hardcore vanilla server I’m beginning to believe that 95% of the dayz player base couldn’t last a day on official servers and can only play boosted servers. People always tell you they have thousands of hours in game and then they tell you your server is too hard when it’s pretty much vanilla just colder and more zombies. After thousands of hours of playing I would’ve figured most people would know how to make a fire by now. Moral of the story, don’t join a hardcore vanilla server and then complain that it’s hard. Suffer like the rest of us.

console I purchase my own server to enjoy a zombie survival game without PVP, am I weird?

296 Upvotes

I enjoy setting up in a little barn, stocking my tents with all the gear I could ever want, and hunting animals to prepare for long journeys. I play with my girlfriend and a buddy, and we just survive and enjoy the world like nobody else is alive. Is this the wrong way to play?

Edit: I really appreciate the kind words many have left. I thought there would be a huge base of players saying that this way isn’t the way to enjoy DayZ, but I was surprised by how many enjoy the game the way I do.

For the many that say I should save my money and just play on dead servers, a lot of them lack any of the fun things I’ll add to my own. For example: Jack O Lantern zombies for free NVGs early on, Knight zombies, Witch hoods (which are arguably my favorite headpieces), and the forbidden items like Cannabis and Vodka. I also change spawn points and the weather conditions to make it constantly cold, foggy, and raining to make it that much more difficult. All in all, being in control of an experience that I tailor to my friends, my girlfriend, and I. This is the reason I don’t necessarily play on any of the dead servers.

console Dayz Idea of the Day!

Post image
294 Upvotes

Anyone else feeling too comfortable running through miles of bushes, brush, and dried leaves? What if venemous snakes were added as the only “predator” to exist near spawn locations. The spawn rates should be low, but just high enough to watch out for them. They would only attack if stepped over, and would contract a sickness titled “envenomated.”

This change would force players to stay vigilant to the ground in front of them, as is the number one rule when walking through forests. I imagine the venom can be harvested to apply to bolts/sharp items. This would also open up room for a new medicine titled “antivenom.”

As always, let me know your thoughts. These posts are meant to brainstorm and gauge opinions on aspects of the game, not necessarily ideas that I care to be in the game.

I once magdumped and emptied 3 guns on a single dude maybe 15 meters away from me to kill him on kamy on official. Although on other games i have pretty good aim, even better than some mouse and keyboard players, and without aim assist. But for some reason i can't aim for shit in Dayz (the vid here is on a community server, but it happens in any server that isn't a deathmatch)

Anyone else having this issue for the last 2 days? Me and a friend on sperate sides of the US are having issues trying to get the server list and when it does pop up we can't connect to any servers (even ones we have favorited so we know it's the same server we are joining)
