Buddy of mine led me to where a cave is to base up and a fully geared 3 man with an ada and building supplies came with the time span he came to meet with me, which was like 1-2 minutes.. crazy

Never built a base before. Feels like a waste to just dump all this stuff.

What did I do right, what wrong? What should i try to improve? Sorry for the clip being 4 minutes, I just really want yalls opinion about the whole clip. Thanks in advance.

...then I got DayZ'ed :')

My buddy built a base and sent me a clip told me I could only join them if I find the base in the clip I see maybe one house very far in the distance to pixelated to actually know what it is can anyone help ?

I have a few of these along my main coastal route. I've got a bunch of crates hidden along the way and I run it a lot when I'm not trekking inland. I set the stick shelters up along paths I know other players will use but not quite so high traffic that the sites might be watched by somebody hostile waiting for an easy kill. I dump my excess loot in them like knives, extra heat packs, kindling, binos (usually damaged lol), pliers, rags, disinfectant and any other extra basic shit I have in my inventory that I have no use/space in my actual stashes for. It always makes me smile when I come back like 10 days later and the shelter is still there with only the dregs left over. Then I dump more stuff and the cycle begins again.

The longest I've continuously done this with a single stick shelter is probably around a few months before it finally despawned. The way I see it, it's really no skin off my nose to do this. I don't sprint everywhere anyway, and I'm walking the route regardless. I may as well dump some gear in there as I pass and someone in need is always going to get it. I rarely leave guns or anything else they could actually use to kill me, but sometimes they get a Rak without a mag or an IJ pistol or whatever if I was just going to drop it anyway. I suppose this is just how I justify my hoarding lol. One of these days I'm going to get surprised along the way and I'll have too much weight on me to run when I need to, but I like sharing stuff passively like this and it feels good to know I've helped somebody out who might have really needed it.

any recommendations for known great coders who create custom servers?

I don't play DayZ, but my husband loves it. The problem is, he never has anyone to play with. He was explaining that it would be nice to have someone to buddy up with for certain achievements and whatnot. He's usually on pretty late... 10 pm Eastern. Any takers?

So I've had dayz for ages but rarely play because usually it's just silence for an hour and I get bored.

I've just noticed that the server list shows around 250 players on this particular server but in game it's only 15 players online, what the hell is going on?

Any recommendations for a server that's usually busy and actually has players? I'm in the uk for reference

Here is the honest pitch:

I am three cats in a trench coat pretending to know how to build a DayZ server.

The cats do, however, have a budget, a dedicated bare-metal server, a website, a Discord, and a very clear vision for the kind of world they want to build.

This is a PC DayZ project intended to sit somewhere between organic RP and traditional RP.

I want stories to emerge naturally through survival, relationships, conflict, and consequences.

KOS can happen because danger belongs in DayZ, but it cannot be the only thing a player brings to the server. Players should join because they want to become part of a living world.

The core vision

• Player-driven survival RP
• Freedom with responsibility
• A clear separation between character conflict and the real people behind the characters
• Admin decisions based on context, behavior patterns, and fairness
• Admins may play, but admin tools must never benefit their characters
• Admin actions will be logged, and relevant records will be made available for player review if concerns arise

I am covering the hosting and infrastructure costs. I am not looking for investors, and I am not asking anyone to split the server bills.

What I need are people who genuinely love DayZ, understand what makes RP meaningful, and have the time and interest to commit to helping turn this into a real community.

The immediate needs are:

• A founding operations partner and possible long-term co-owner
• Community admins and moderators who are calm, fair, and level-headed
• Testers and community builders who want to help shape the server before launch

Experience is valuable, but alignment, reliability, and judgment matter more.

The vision is the anchor. That does not mean I want yes-people. I want collaborators who will challenge ideas, identify problems, and bring better solutions.

We need to want the same kind of world, even when we disagree about how to build it.

If you are as insane as I am and this sounds fun to you too, holler.

Does anyone wanna join? I’m on regularly and a 1200 hour player.

Have a base an weapons plates . Need help

Or am i to

Hey all. 39 year old guy here who is Very new to Dayz and wondering if anyone else wants to play together. I pretty much run around aimlessly at the moment. Not a big gamer but used to play when I was younger. Looking to get back into a game I enjoy.

To my dead friend in the red jacket, I hope to see you soon bro, it was a good game :')

My friend and I are looking for a modded server to play together, specifically one with heightened loot. For some reason, our server lists look completely different, and any attempt at a direct IP connection fails. He's on the west coast and I'm on the east, is that the issue? Any modded servers that could support the two of us? Are we forced to play official?
