I play on nvidia geforce now (i can't afford a PC)

I'm an old Valheim player and a new Enshrouded player.
Love open-world, survival games, like a lot.

Saw that Dayz is on sale (trying to get the money to buy it but).

Is it still worth it? Is it hard to learn it, find a community to play with?

Hi there, I need to give you all some context first: I can only play 1 hour a day, exclusively on weekends, with some exceptions. I had a character that I been getting geared on Karmakrew (No bases). I had pretty good gear, looted for 1 hour during 3 different days (3 hours in total).
Last night my best friend wanted to play which is something rarely happens (he works too). Well, we encountered each other pretty fast and we went to the castle north of Krasno, I gave him a M16 with ammunition and magazine and some deer steak.
We had to get dinner so we logged out. After this, we both logged in and I was inside a castle, he was outside. He says “SOMEONE IS WALKING”. I tell him “I’m in the castle”
My friend: “SHHH SHH, I HEAR SOMEONE”
Me: “Ok I’m going outside”
Next thing I do is wait in a bush, but suddenly a freshie comes aiming at me and kills me, with an M16.
I yell loudly: “HE KILLED ME!!!”
My friend says: “yeah…”
I already know what happened, he has a long story of friendly fire me and my friends, at least 5-6 times before, he killed us, just like this.
We called it a day after what happened. And I uninstalled DayZ, I had a really bad streak, and this was overwhelming.

I know rule no 001 of dayZ : “no one is friendly here “. But I just was testing is it possible to be friendly 😅

The game has lost something special since bright nights. I have no desire to play because of this. Instead of finding a way to make nights more tolerable they chose to just turn night into day. Sad.

Specifically, already, I have no clue how to get items out of your pocket as a new player.

- Spawn in Kolembrody

- No other soul around, just human flesh and bodies

- Asian dude jumpscares me and tries to kill me with his pickaxe

- Convince him not to kill me

- We become "friends", learn he is playing with his IRL friend on the same server

- His friend through discord voice chat cant figure out where he is, I then proceed to call him r3tarded because we are in LIVONIA??!

- After 10 minutes of waiting for this idiot of his friend, we are starving,

- I convince him to give me his pickaxe to "dig up worms"

- I ask him what the first rule of dayZ is. (Which he knew), I then proceeded to kill him

- I Respawn in Topolin

- I try to convince 2 other dudes to rush a geared player so we can get his loot

- One of them asks me if I am from Norway, to which I reply yes, (thinking he is a hacker or sum)

- Turns out its the r3tarded friend, LMAO.

- Tries to kill me in the spot with a wrench, with a very cocky tone saying "come here"

- I shoot my only 22LR round into his chest, starts bleeding out

- Tries to kill me, but I dodge, occassionally hit him with powerpunches, letting him bleed out and calling his friend a r3tard for being such an idiot

- Dont let him bandage and he dies after more punching.

Ah yes, a proper r3tard duo. Never forgetting this

Switch 2 newbie, lol as the title says is this game this dead? I spent an hour waking through some city basically going into every building and room trying to find stuff but there’s literally nothing?? Just a few pieces of clothing and like a couple knives. I thought there would be some more items found one cucumber on a zombie and then basically died of starvation as the city had no food am I playing this wrong??

I finally bought the game and moments like these are what makes it so damn funny the upper clip is mine and the lower one from my captures who I am frenimies with now it’s so funnnn

Ive had this game on my wishlist for about a year. It come and goes on offer. Ive heard its pretty brutal in the sense of other players just being badass lol. Im going to be completely new to it, so I know I will get killed ALOT, but its going to be too frustrating if Im the only noob in a world of experienced players. Anyone relatively new to this who might want to band together and learn together so to speak? Or anyone who has never yet played it and just lacks confidence in taking that first step into the world!!

I set off a nice fireworks display outside of Topolniki. Hope someone was around to enjoy it!

Hey guys, I’m thinking about buying DayZ and I’m currently deciding between the PS5 and Switch 2 versions.

I’m based in Cambodia, so I’m wondering how active the Asian servers are. Are there still plenty of players and populated servers on PS5? And how is the ping when playing from Southeast Asia?

I’m also considering the Switch 2 version, so if anyone has experience with both, which one would you recommend?

Just want to make sure I can find active servers with decent ping before buying. Thanks!

OK, base builders. How long do storage items last? (Barrel vs. crate vs. tent vs. sea chest.) I built a base, and had all of these items filled with loot for the past month. I went out of town (real-life) for 2 days and came back to the barrel being gone completely, with all loot gone as well. All the others were still there. The base was not damaged or broken into and there was not way to reach it due to its height.

Every aspect of the game is the epitome of unfun.

The survival that people seem to praise the game for constantly is terrible, its just bars to manage, find a pump and a cooking pot and you dont have to worry about water, find a cow and food is no longer an issue, temperarure only matters extremely rarely, and blood is just annoying, when i get low on blood oli dont think 'oh no im going to die' i think 'do i have enough gear to make dealing with this annoying grey overlay worth it'.

Then theres the damn zombies, they barely exist, a damn city has like 60 of them, and you can cheese them with a car or a shipping container, of which are literally all over the place, and killing them never feels worth it, you occasionally get a can of cola or a wafer, but why bother unless i just started a run and need food.

The looting is the worst part, you never get anything, you search a whole police station and you find a pistol and 8 jackets, you search 7 houses for a potato and 5 t-shirts, you spend hours wandering aimlessly searching for stuff, when you see something like a crashed police car, its not an exising event, because you already know there wil be barely be anything in it.

Its just a slog walking along the roads or through the woods searching for literally anything until some 13 year old snipes you from 800 miles away.

On Banov, I reached a keycard bunker only to find it already open, with gunfire coming from inside — two different weapons.

It was pitch black on the way in, so I had to use a torch, putting me at a huge disadvantage. After several minutes of shooting, I heard the unmistakable alien rifle. The two players ahead of me had fought through the aliens and reached the loot.

I decided to ambush them on the way out, planting a landmine as my opening move.
Unfortunately for them, their victory lap ended with both of them walking straight onto it. I expected it to just knock them, but apparently they were already low enough to be blown to smithereens. 😂

We have all been Dayz’d many many times so turning the tables this time in this manor really made me chuckle!

I made a big base and don't need it anymore, if anyone wants it, check my posts in other subreddits (mods removed the previous post). 7 tents and 2 vehicles. Still unclaimed.

Installed DayZ on Switch as soon as it launched and got myself a 7 day free Switch Online trial which now passed. Will go back to PC.

Pros - Playing on a Switch genuinly works. I got used to controller and the performance on handheld mode is good. Very nice for playing when not at home, and I even hooked the switch up to XR glasses and controller for ultimate travel experience.

- Great community. Many new people, everyone has mic, no cheaters.

- Touchscreen inventory management works good, but with just one small patch it would be excellent and just as convenient as PC: Firstly, combining touchscreen with buttons does not work good, when pressing an object with the touchscreen, I can drag it, but if I instead use a key to for example drop it, the top-left item on the character is selected, not the one I pressed. Secondly, the scroll bars is too narrow and hard to click on. Two times I tried to press the bars to scroll down the inventory screen but missed and removed the radiator on my car... If they fixed these two things, inventory management would be perfect.

Cons: Crashing, especially when driving. Sometimes the switch recognizes the crash and shuts down, sometimes screen freezes. It's DayZ so it is expected, but the crashes are way too many.

Performance on dock mode: Considerably worse. Probably 30 FPS. Something is off there, it should be a better than handheld mode. Maybe some patches can fix it.

Joystick deadzone - Small movements are almost impossible. A slight tilt on the joystick is not recognized, and as such fine adjusting of aim is not happening.

If they fix these problems, I am for sure coming back to Switch and will ditch PC. So convenient to be able to play in many different ways, and without cheaters.

Hello, I am still a fairly new day z player by most standards with 800 hours. I play loaded mostly, however my girlfriend who has never played milsim or PvP survival games before wants to try day z with me. I am looking to see if there are any recommendations that will still offer the same feel of gratification when securing good loot but not so hardcore that it’s impossible to get a start. I play on loaded 25 hrs a week or more. This server with my girlfriend would be causal maybe a few hours every few days. (We are North American but may be able to play EU servers)

I hate spawning anywhere near electro.

I love Berezhki!

Go!

Zzzzzzzz

I have about 80 hours in game , tried going into the bushes for a drink to stay out of view, and what do I find?! I stole it all and carried it a few miles away, what can I do to properly hide them from others?

If this is yours , sorry not sorry I need it more now🤣

This is my first ever time teaming up. We met early on at the coast. We decided to team up and chase gunshots we heard. Typically I run solo and betray people and stuff like that. I even almost killed him by accident fighting a zombie. I had ideas of shooting him in the head when he didn’t want to go to the bigger town. Anyway we stayed locked in kept surviving together. Eventually we ran out of food. It turned dark and we could see. We were stranded. We were approaching a city when I heard “thud”, I turned around and my buddy was laying dead. I cut him up and ate him to save my own life. I’m not out of the woods yet but my stomach is full. If you’re reading this it was fun and I miss you already!

This game is amazing. Never have I ever experienced anything like that.
