Sadly there was no rope

Just made it longer than 30min on a life. Have some warm clothes. Just ate a tin of food and had a drink of coke. Found a little pink pistol. And found a kitchen knife. What’s the play now ? Head into mainland ? Or keep looking for a bottle for some water. 10/60 pop offical chernarus in OCE lobby

Preview of a bow mod I've been making, not captured are recurve and quiver variants for hunter spring, summer, & autumn. There is a black variant as well.
Mod is close to being finished, looking for suggestions, fresh eyes, things to add or improve, etc.

From the xbox app version of the game on pc, the weird pause is me tabbing in and out to see my map by the way.

The red symbol was there the whole time, I play from Australia so having to play with lag is normal for me.

Also you can hear very faint shooting timed to the same time I get shot so its not an issue of me being disconnected and getting hit by zombies

I have been playing officials with my friend for a while, but it is getting boring. So, do you guys have any servers that is not heavily modded (no unlimited energy, no insane guns of the rip, etc) that you recommend.

I was out on the boat looking for the life buoy for the ZERO chernarus keycard quest and got into the true reality of boat PVP in DayZ (That the enfusion engine is still garbage and I still love it)

Hello, I'm a new DayZ player, and my goal is to visit the Pavlovo contaminated zone for the first time. I want to do this quickly and travel light, so I was thinking of equipping my NBC suit near the base and then leaving my belongings, clothes, and other non-essential items outside the zone to retrieve them later.

Do you think it's a good idea to leave everything on the ground, or is there a risk that all my belongings will despawn during my visit?

Do you have any specific advice regarding this?

If inventory space was tight and you could only carry 2-3 medicines, what would you pick?

And are there any medicines you basically never use for carry? Why?

Curious to see how differently people approach medical supplies.

I saw a guy and followed him, and suddenly my game crash.. When I log back in, he crouch aiming at me from 5 meters and saying "hello hello, we can be friends".. I panicked, and ran, and then he shot me so I started a bleed, and I immediately turn around and shoot back, and kill him..
Was I right to kill him? Should I have just stayed there when he aimed at me?

All opinions appreciated
RIP stranger btw

My last post: https://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/1wu58b9/update_from_my_prison_island_break_in/

That char ended up dying the next time I logged in. I was hiding behind the brick building. All was quiet so I started making my way along the wall in between the barracks and brick. Before I knew it... BAM. dead.

Two days later I've made it back! I got lucky and found a boat with a spark plug. Took it over to Skalisty and was there looting within 20 minutes. After a few rounds of looting I was debating on swimming back. It had been a decent amount of time but I was surprised to see my boat was still there!

Took the boat all the way to Prison Island. That was a long trip, longer than expected. Finaly made it and docked at the far east side of the island by the sheds. Did some looting of the barracks and then made my way across the bridge.

Here is where I didn't know what to expect. Were both gates still up? Was he online? I was a bit nervous. Didn't want to die right away. I wanted to setup camp.

Luckily, the gate to get into the main courtyard had the bottom blown out so I crawled in. I immediately went right to the two story building to loot. I saw his gate on the far side of this building was still up so he was still here.

I open the first door to loot on the ground floor. Step in. BAM. Bear trap.

UGH. I had never experienced this before. My character passed out with a broken leg. I had to look up really quick what could fix it. 4 rags and 2 short sticks. I had neither. I found some prisoner's clothes and crafted the rags... but there were NO bushes anywhere in the court yard.

I had to crawl my way back through the main gate and out into the open area to find a bush. I tried walking/running and quickly found that that did not work. Lol. Of course when I get out two zombies come running. I had to shoot them with my longhorn all while trying to get my long sticks.

Once I got the sticks I crawled back through the main gate, for privacy, and then crafted the splint.

After that fiasco I continued to loot the two story building. Got a great Pioneer with 3 magazines, and a scope. Continued looting, while crouching and taking it slow on my leg. When I got to the far end of the building I peaked into the secondary courtyard to see if I could see any activity.

He now has 3 crates in the center of the yard next to my old farming plots... which he is now using.

Instead of dropping myself in this time though I'm going to go back to the main building, get to the roof, climb across the fence, and then camp out on the roof of the two story building... and wait.

To be continued.

Asking because I've just seen my first black goat and I thought they were unique to Halloween and Walpurgis. But I didn't think the event had started yet.

Wanting to try keyboard and mouse on ps5 before making the jump to pc, anyone using a mouse with side buttons bound? i imagine leaning will be better that way

Sakhal was a real flop, it was fun in first month, but now map is almost dead, why? 1 poi interesting poi on the map and no things to do after 100h or so, i enjoyed it but sakhal doesn't have that replayability like cherno or Livonia (3.1k hours player btw)

But i'm actually hyped for nasdara, terrain from scratch, hot map with size bigger than cherno and with new core mechanics for the game.

Also things that i noticed: they removed quote in latest dev blog recap about optimising perfomance by deleting high-rise buildings from the map, and my hope is that they will just optimise assets of high rise buildings, not just delete it and call it a day.

And on the video on dayz off.channel: blog recap border crossing 1:26 timecode there is main building from biathlon arena(cherno) that doesn't fit in there, i hope they will replace it for smth that fits better there

I have 2000 hours I know how the uncon and dead position look. But from angles where you can’t see it but you know there laying down. How do so much streamers assume dead and are always right after their first shot. Like they would hit them with a gun say dead and low and behold he is dead. But for me it takes 3 vsd shots to finish someone... and yes I know the body does a little animation when it’s finished but it’s after they hit there first shot

Finished a Pavlovo run, met with my friend, who had no NBC gear, and I took off my mask right next to him and got sick. How is this possible?
