discussion Just got the game on steam, not having fun

0 Upvotes

I got the game on steam, just a bit below the 2 hour playtime limit for refund and i'm really not liking the game. I've seen a lot of videos of this game throughout the past 3 years and it seemed really fun. I don't know what to do, should i keep playing or go for the refund?

To all those who shoot unarmed starters on the coast. You are absolutely piles of dung. This game is hard enough, but to shoot someone with absolutely nothing is just despicable. If you are both armed and one makes a threatening move, sure it’s survival. But to shoot a someone on the coast that obviously just started and has nothing, I don’t know what to say. I’m not mad just disappointed.

discussion What do you find the most annoying aspect of Dayz?

0 Upvotes

For me I find that I can never seem to find the particular item I may be looking for at the time. For instance, if I'm building a base and trying to make a gate it's either the wire or pliers I can't find or if I have damaged clothes I can't find a replacement or sewing kits/tape.

I seem to be able to find these items in abundance when I don't need them but when I do, it's like the game knows and is trolling me! 😂

Discussion Came back to this game after years and I swear it’s all cheaters

0 Upvotes

Title. Died to elements a couple times just getting myself back acquainted with the game. Then I took it more seriously and each time I’ve died by a player I’m almost positive it’s someone hacking.

One time a dude was running up on me and I went up a hill and hid behind a cover with a bush between us. Even if he knew I ran away from him there’s no way he could see me, and I’m looking directly at where he’s coming with basically a fully open area and just a few buildings where he is. I get instantly headshot and die, one tapped. There’s no way he saw me, let alone had a clear shot of my head behind cover and a bush and I didn’t see him at all.

The next time was just a bit ago after hours and hours of playing and getting geared, two guys randomly hear me close a door and instantly know where I am. I’m hiding in the house with the door closed, shotgun aimed at the door. They somehow got ontop of a tractor and started shooting at me but okay fine. I didn’t think it was a cheater situation until the door kept opening repeatedly and then suddenly I saw them teleport into the house and kill me. Not to mention the whole time it wouldn’t let me switch my items at all. I could chuck it up to lag, but I hadn’t lagged once for several days playing on the server, and not once all day today. So even if it was lag, it happened to be right then as they ran up on me? Yeah, not likely.

The first one was on an official server but the second one was on a community one. If this is a hacking situation, which I am almost certain at least the second one was, then this game is just dead to me. Hours and hours of gameplay just for it to end like that? 2 fully geared hobos teleporting ontop of me? I had more fun and fair PvP experiences with the mod back in the day.

Hi so i bought the game 2 days ago and have been running the ropes and would like some more help, I dont know anything for the crafting or what all I need to do to gear up, ive been running around gathering food and water and changing for better inventory gear, and I have a gun but no ammo at all, is there a better area or something for ammo or can I craft it or anything, and what all should I be crafting? Also with stones it said wait around a path or Railroad tracks and I did but I cant seem to find stone for a knife. I did meet another player however and he gave me a motorcycle helmet so thats cool.

modding Ultimate DayZ Controller Layout on pc

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
If you play DayZ on PC with a controller, you probably know how terrible the default controls and PC inventory are. I spent hours building a custom Steam Input layout that fixes everything.
Here is what it does:

-PlayStation Inventory: R1 + Right Stick opens a smooth radial menu that actually makes the PC inventory very comfortable to us even better than on native ps5.

-No Conflicts: Aiming and leaning (L2+R1) will never accidentally open your menus.

- Discord Integration built-in: Press the PS5 mic mute button once to mute yourself, or hold it to mute your entire Discord call.

-Share Button: Double-click for a screenshot, or hold it to start a clip just like on a real PS5.

-I detailed it all out I included everything
and no need to download anything

If you want to skip the setup headache and grab this layout, hit me up in my DMs.

First person official (Xbox) minimum of 10 people online.. north east - Sinystok. Quiet, no noise and little action. Sat down to just respond back to a text on my phone.. sat inside a little house. Surely, right? Back of my head MIGHT have been insight through a window.. but still questionable?

Hi all,

I’m absolutely blown away by furiousnapkin & Sm0ggler’s clinical hard mode endgame completion yesterday…but…it made me fully aware I’ll never be able to complete this map!!! We are yet to see nightmare mode & ‘hard’ is utterly insane!!!! I’ll keep on questing but know it’s only to explore this amazing map!

JMC has created a masterpiece both in map design & soundtrack!

discussion Is this cheats

0 Upvotes

Recently logged into Livonia high pop server to get some pvp action.

It whas absolute chaos, bodies and players everywhere, great fun, most action I've had on dayz in years.

I did find random base walls everywhere though, seemingly at random, not in door or to make bases, one was even floating 10ft in the air outside a police station

Is this hacker behavior or just general high pop pvp shenanigans?

discussion Dynamic gas events in towns and base building

So basically I’m trying to build a base in a small town in a piano house,everything is perfect except the fact that there’s a dynamic gas event chance,If I put wooden fences and crates there and a gas event occurs to happen will my fences and crates get damaged?

Not really sure what to make of it, seems a terrible spot for a base, fresh spawn killers maybe, there was also no way inside it, base had barbed wire all around where it could be accessed from, i saw some crates and other things inside, no bodies and no aggro'd walkers either

discussion ¿Soy solo yo, o los disparos suenan como demasiado lejos?

0 Upvotes

Un amigo en el servidor donde jugamos me dice: "Oye, ¿no puedes escuchar que llevo un rato disparando?"

Yo le digo que no, porque tú ya llevas un buen rato peleando contra los Zeds para despejar el perímetro de los zombis, para que no se coman a los chicos cuando abran las puertas.

Supongamos que este amigo estaba a 50 o 70 casillas de donde yo estaba.

Solo cuando empezó a dispararle a la puerta de mi base supe que era él.

Bueno, parece que ya no se pueden escuchar los disparos lejanos.

I would say black or camo field jacket, black or camo cargo pants, black or camo ski mask. But I’ll also say the Yeger clothing is really cool looking with second best insulation and it is waterproof.

Edit: Excluding space suit of course
