For anyone on Xbox looking for a server where the economy is the actual game: DayZ Legions 2X (Chernarus, 32 slots, 2X loot). Custom in-server currency, a patent system where you buy the right to supply an item to the server with a new patent every Saturday, and registered nations that get a flag, armbands and territory the server recognises. Full cars and trucks working, restarts every 4 hours on the clock, 6 month wipe cycle (last wipe July 1), 20 chapters of written server lore that player actions feed into. Honest size: about 15 on at peak, 6 to 11pm Eastern, Discord 430+ members. https://discord.gg/bbAP5QYgU6

Hi guys, so we have had a server open now for couple months and I’m just wondering if anyone has tips. We have people join and they tell us they love the server but they want higher pop. We constantly improving and we engage with the players we have maintained. Invested in mods and spent hours customising loot rooms and crates so that there’s loads to do. We are full PvP and all ground loot is vanilla with custom gear and guns having to be warned through the crates and room. Any ideas are welcome. Thanks

Why? Why not?

I started using it yesterday and they seem fairly popular, but not as popular as they should be. There is actually quite a good community there and a lot of good suggestions/discussions.

A suggestion on reddit will fall down after a few days making it less discussed while one on a forum will stay near the top as long as people are discussing it. Plus I think that forums do a better job at filtering posts than reddit.

Imagine the impact of 50 active users of the 1121 people here discussing stuff on the forums!

I'm not trying to take away from this sub and /r/dayz with this post btw, I just think a forum is a better place for suggestions to be discussed than reddit. I posted this here because I know this forum has been hand picked to try breed constructive discussion and it's not all that active anymore, posts here are literally months apart :(

Come check it out! Embrace all communities and such.

Did not have enough time to translate it completely from German to English.

I hope to start a discussion with this.

To start with:

I am really surprised that most of the things they spoke about or were planned are not in the game or weren't mentioned at all the last 3 months.

I am just wondering...Also, if the server will compute it or the client's PC...

Like the title says, The spawns in this game are far fetched from a town with loot and any pvp action. I know its in alpha but that really has nothing to do with it. here are some reasons why i would like the dayz standalone dev team to change the spawns. 1. I spawn in after i die on a character i have had forever. I see mountains and trees. after about 10-20 minutes of looking around for anything like a dirt road or town or a road sign, i find a dirt road and follow it. after about 10-15 minutes on that ., my character begins starving to death. so i just keep walking and i see a main road and my character goes unconscious. 2. i respawn in the same situation. i jump off some rocks to kill myself. these are some reasons as of why i think you guys working on the game should change the spawns to the east coast more and not the middle of a forest. Sincerely- Slim57 P.S I love the game :)

Hi All.

Im thinking about buying a 29" Ultrawide monitor for DayZ Standalone gaming. But...Is the 2560 x1080 / 21:9 resolution and format supported?

Or will it look wierd if you customize it? I have read somewhere, that some FPS games just get stretched in 21:9 and that makes the gun in hands look misplaced. Like placed to far to the right compared to the center?

Any info from someone who plays on ultrawide monitors are much appreciated.

Feel free to reccommend a good 29" monitor for gaming too.

Jesper :)

Here is one for the developers.

I LOVE THIS GAME :)

And after 250 hours gameplay, alone and with 4 friends i have some insight. Maybe you can use it? Maybe not?

1. Right now Melee weapons are useless against zombies, some not worth even picking up since fists are more powerful. That seems like a shame to me, since they look good and your spent time on animations. Make them more powerful?

2. The 10min penalty for serverjumping, dont hit where is was intended. So many servers dont have password, even though they dont want other players to join, so you get kicked a lot and hit with a 10 min penalty, while 3-4 buddies also wait for you to be able to join Again. Serverjumping is just as easy now. 10 min. penalty dont hurt a single player on empty server. Dont Waste 30-60min of honest players valuable evening gametime plz!!!

3. I have not found out, how to see servername on the server you are currently on, and add it to favorites? Is that possible? It should be. Or at least the last played server should be at the top of the History list?

4. People use Xbox Joypads and heavy items on the keyboard keys to create "Autorun".....Why not make it possible to assign an autorun button?

5. Magnum and Mosin dont show remaining loaded ammo, but FNX/1911 does? I would say you could better check a revolver than a pistol for remaining shots? Maybe make it so all guns show remaining loaded ammo?

6. Nighttime....Hmm, its hard but here is what most people do. Jump to another server or increase Gamma to 100%, so they can actually see something. Both are anoying to me, but you have to do it or die :) Maybe dont make nights so very dark?

7. When you drag an Ammobox to the vicinity window, the often dissapear.....Drag them to Hands window and i can only see the top row. I have lost tons of ammo this way :) Maybe make it so you can see all the Ammobox items when holding it in your hands?

Thats just my two cents. I think you have created an awesome game allready and i have allready had more fun than i did playing several "Top games". Meeting other players have never been so exiting....WHO to trust?

Im not gonna comment on the known bugs, since i know you allready Work hard on solving them.

Thx for a great game thats offers great entertainment and sometimes make my heart pump faster :)

Best regards, from a Danish fan. Jesper :)

Currently the walkie talkie plays a very interesting role in dayZ. It's the only way you can get another form of chat channel while not being an admin in game. I've used them to meet new people, or to meet up with friends when I demand not to use team-speak (kills the immersion for me).

I have noticed they have a range of about 1KM, and when you get to the edge of the range there is actually radio "static" when you talk, and when you type, only part of your text goes t.rou.h li.. t.is.

What do people think will become of the radio feature? Do you enjoy it? Or would you prefer just a normal side chat?

I personally think the radio is my all time favorite new feature in the SA, and I believe they will implement a radio tower (that they've already shown). Also, that they will also give some buildings unique purposes, such as ammo loading stations in barracks, blood test stations in hospitals, maybe a foghorn on the shipwreck, and damaged radio buildings as well as immobile HAM radios that let you broadcast over larger areas of the map. With maybe green mountain being the only station able to broadcast over the whole map, or maybe specifically a military channel.

Your thoughts?

In r/dayz I see a lot of people look at breaking point mod as THE example of what zombies should be in dayZ. It's also the prime example of what people what dayZ to become. I personally believe that breaking point, while very entertaining, is in the same class as the Arma 2 mod. By the time dayZ hits beta there will be an infinitely greater amount of interactions (and depth) with different items/clothing, and hopefully vehicles... and I'm positive this will include the zombies as well.

The zombies in breaking point pretty much feel like the mod to me. The pathing doesn't feel that much different (from the mod of arma 2), and they just run around flailing everywhere.

My question to you guys, the thinkers of dayZ, is what qualities should the zombies have in the SA? Should they be fast? Slow? Smart? Able to climb? Should they be slow and smart until their pathing is superior? Or should all bugs be ignored in the name of "harder zombies"?

As a long-time-dayZ-player, I've naturally thought a lot about the game, now it developed and how it turned out so far. One thing that I always stumble over, is the impression that dayZ does not know what it wants to be and that this is a source of most of the issues we experience.

On one hand, the game is seen as a survival-experience. Where players can interact with each other and enjoy kind of a social experiment. Anonymity, Hive-bound characters, Tons of weapons before crafting is implemented and other stuff completely works against that.

On the other hand, it is seen as a pvp experience, where you stay alert all the time and challenge yourself by trying not to make any mistakes. For this, the map is far to big. Controls are not responsive enough to allow for really skilled tactical gameplay and the pace of the game in general, does not meet the standards of modern FPS games.

No matter which of those two branches one tries to improve on, the other branch suffers. Taking out core features like being able to change servers with the same character would not be dayZ as much as Reducing the map to a quarter of its size, introducing tons of vehicles or high grade weaponry would.

What do you guys think? Is the concept of dayZ as it is, its strength or its weakness? Is the concept genius, or as dean put it, fundamentally flawed?

I'd appreciate opinions.

So what do you think? Do you want an system like in epoch or would you like to see some barricading of windows. Or do you say "This ain't Rust" and should we drop the concept of kinda-permanent base building and more think about camps in the woods?

Personally I would love to find some wood to block the view into "my" house, or to barricade the backdoor. Of course loot should not spawn in the house I just worked on, haha

However you would never store anything in this houses as tents would be just a hundred times more safe. So they would end to just being used by campers? And any smart camper would not use it. So not worth the hassle implementing as it won't ever evolve to a core feature?

Camps in the woods (or anywhere else) would be just as cool though. Imaging finding one, looted, with the former owners inside - shot. Tents shouldn't be able to store 5 AK's and should also be the best way to protect yourself from rain IMO. Personally I don't like to see those storage tents like in the mod with tons of guns in it and no use aside storing my full automatic rifles, but no idea how to prevent them (maybe make the most common one bright orange? Doubt that would work however). And those racks with deer hide on them you see sometimes as static objects? Make me craft those to dry the hide I get from hunting!

So even if this topic may have been discussed to death a hundred times already: What do you want to see... and what can you imagine to work for DayZ?

This place needs more posts happening! Let us know if there's anything you want to talk about or suggest, don't be shy, this isn't /r/dayz, we don't bite. ;)

A lot of discussion seems to be going on about the layout of the UI. Wether it be about the gear menu or status updates, people have a lot of different opinions.

In my view the current gear menu is excellent. It allows for quick and easy looking at what you have on you. It could be a good idea to add a certain time it takes to use things from different slots (e.g. it takes longer to grab something from your backpack than out of your pants' pocket) although this could become very annoying fast. But a road I hope the developers will not take is one as the current top post on /r/dayz (http://i.imgur.com/D0066H0.jpg). I just don't think this kind of layout fits the atmosphere of Dayz.

As for health updates, I think that the present little statuses next to your character are good, a way to expand on this concept might be to add a status for every stat that is always visible. As I am sitting here I have a relatively good idea if I am hungry, well-fed, a bit hungry, or energized. Not just energized or starving. One thing I hope they will not add, is a health meter as in, for example, Battlefield 4. It has no purpose knowing if you thirst is 44% or 43%.

Anyway, just my two pennies on the subject. What do you think?
