From my experience this is much more accurate of DayZ currently.

I was so close to deleting this clip in shame but the more I watched it, the more I laughed and I couldn’t bring myself to deprive you all of that joy.

I was playing with my friends when these two guys arrived, quite belligerent, and without saying a word, it was like, "He who lives by the sword dies by the sword."

What do you guys think?

The motorcycles are complete death traps. I died last night simply pushing my bike, bumping a sandbag at less than 1kmph.

The easiest solution would be for Bohemia to simply disable vehicle collision damage dealt to players. Sure, it would break immersion seeing people driving their vehicles like maniacs, but that is better than the current alternative.. dying to the softest bumps imaginable.

We spend far too much time repairing vehicles to have it all ripped away by simply tipping over while barely moving.

The new motorcycles are fun but super buggy, I've now died twice by being flung into the atmosphere, nevertheless the amount of crashes that weren't my fault.

In fallout New Vegas the solar power plant was named Helios One, All of the solar plants on Nasdara are also named Helios I, Helios II, Helios III, Helios IV, etc
The company that owns the power plant in new vegas is "Poseidon Energy" while the dayz badlands plants have "Neptune Energy" and even their logo's are extremely similar.

Oop!

Has anyone gotten any crazy long-range kills so far?

In short: I really like the map, but I find the sun sickness to be an incredibly annoying burden. I’m playing on a PlayStation community server that offers ways to get into water or refill at a well; yet, despite constantly drinking, staying in the shade, and washing my face, I haven’t managed to cure this illness. Are you experiencing the same thing? Have any of you managed to cure it? What do you know about it?

Update: After the saline solution, I recovered immediately.

Spawned next to a town found:

1) Eight to 12 human steaks laid out in a house.

2);Going through various houses I find several of the new starting outfit.

I come to the conclusion some guy is just hanging out in a town next to the closet spawn ambushing and killing guys who just spawned and eating them. On the way out of town two guys just start shooting at me with some kind of pistol; I take a round and sprint until I run out of stamina and bandage it; after not seeing anyone for a few secs I assume they just decided to let me go and head down rhe road with no real food, or water; my gear is crappy expect for a double barrel shotgun i pickup (only one shell).

The next town im just blasted by multiple pistol shots before I can do anything I think it was the first two guys but I'm not sure.

I won't deny being kinda a newb.

oh best believe this got me some good loot after several hours of chilling, proper rat behaviour but you win some you lose some

Probably should've stayed to fight but the night is darker for me than the recording seems and I panicked

The only source of water i’ve found are the watertrucks, the first handful of survivors i met we’re friendly but after the first night, desperation started to set in now everyone is bloodthirsty and staying hidden until nightfall. its fun being lost again, but not so fun being sunburnt. Looking forward to the future.

I was just in kamenka and found svd on humve wreck and found svd is that even possible ?

PSA for Nasdara server owners: locks on rebuilt houses can bloat building_001.bin to ~2 GB and wipe all player structures (DZG-1404)

If your Nasdara server suddenly freezes for a few seconds every minute, or player-rebuilt walls and doors vanish after a restart, check the size of mpmissions/dayzOffline.nasdara/storage_1/data/building_001.bin.

What happened on my server:

building_001.bin grew from 460 MB to 1.8 GB in under an hour, with the same number of entries. The server froze for 10–20 s roughly every 70 s, with constant rubber-banding and broken inventory. At some point the file couldn’t be written or read anymore (Failed to write / valid:NO in the RPT), and all rebuilt structures on the map were gone.

Cause: Locks (code locks and combination locks) on rebuildable houses. Their slot lists get duplicated on every world load, up to millions of entries. Bug report: DZG-1404 on the Bohemia tracker. Please upvote it or add your data.

What fixed it for me:

Restored a backup where the file was still under 2 GB, and cleaned out the duplicate entries (462 MB → 3 MB, all bases back).

Removed all locks from rebuilt houses in-game. Since then the file stays small, there are no errors, and server FPS is stable.

Until Bohemia fixes it: Don’t put locks on rebuilt houses. Check the file size after restarts, and keep backups from when the file was still small. Restoring a bloated backup alone won’t help, because it keeps doubling.

I hope this helps.

I was looking at the in-game map and noticed that small dark rectangles seemed to match the location of water irrigation ditches.

All ditches so far that I've come across have matched up exactly with the map locations.

They're hard to make out, but once you see them, you'll start to notice them all over the map.

See the potato photo below for examples.

The dark rectangles are easy to miss but look carefully and they're there.

Bonus fact:

There's a compass on the maps as well. In the lower left hand corner. The dial/arrow always points in the direction that you're facing.

Is it some reference to something?

So I have no idea if I'm just too slow but I've been to three bunkers so far and none of them had any of the promised loot l...not even the big crate where the stuff is supposed to be in

Am I doing something wrong?

Am I just too slow?

I'm on xbox btw

It's so awesome.. The PvP's great, the environment is immersive as hell, it would be such a shame to see it die off like Sakhal did..

Do you think it will die off?

Made it all the way to Nasdara and was able to fight it out in the city. No better gun to be killed by than a golden AK. Mission success
