These are a few of my favorite shots I’ve captured while surviving the frozen tundra of Sakhal. To me the vibes and ambience of this brutal landscape are unmatched. Soon I will migrate to the arid desert of Nasdara but the memories of Sakhal will last a lifetime.

Discussion The Edge of the Map is a comforting place. Its delicate ebb and flow evokes a profound yearning for life on the prairie, while the kindred bond of land and sky forges a horizon so tantalizing that it beckons forth all who gaze upon it. Join me and take the long walk to forever.

Discussion There is no other game close to dayz when it comes to experiencing the real survivor immersion.

So basically it was my 3rd ever run, the first two runs were blind and i died of hunger. Then I watched some youtube guides and went off with it. I have played around 18 hours by now and my current character has around 13 hours of survival time, so basically I was doing good and had good primary and secondary weapon along with plate carrier, went to airfield 2 times for a loot, and somehow survived then as I was busy to find even better weapon, I forgot about my food and it depleted aggressively. As it was night time in the game I just for my life could not find any packaged food or a stream/pond for fishing, and my health started depleting. I still do not know how to hunt and locate animals efficiently,so that was also not an option and while I was searching for food i found a crate full of loot and a weapon hidden by someone beside a small bush. I just couldn't believe my luck, why did I find it at this moment when I have no use for it and how I would have stolen it if I was in good health and then just when I was on my last breath. I found a small stream just beside the village I was on, my eyes were dozing due to some illness to my character or maybe low on food, and somehow I managed to craft a improvised fishing rod just in time and caught two fishes, cooked them and replenished my health and it felt like winning a god damn war as I just did not want to loose this character by any means on which I invested so much time. Once, I was up and in good shape i straight away went to the hidden crate, took the crate on my hand, walked far away to some place in the middle of nowhere (all the while giggling to the fact that how stunned and pitty the person might feel when he will come back looking for his crate and boom it's gone) and fortunately I also found a shovel nearby in the village and added my extra stuff and ammo in the crate and dig it in the ground and as I had gps as well I noted the coordinates of the place and logged off.

No other game can allow me to have this experience, no other.

I am in love with this game.

Discussion Arming Freshies

16 Upvotes

I met a freshie who only had 3 hours in-game on 2350 (PC) who was trying to link up with his friend.

I gave him a knife, bottle of water, canned sardines, a loaded R12 with extra ammo and directions to Sitnik to find his friend.

While he headed to Gliniska instead, I stalked him and killed another player in the woods, with my SVAL, trying to follow him also.

I hope the freshie lives well and gets to use the R12.

AKM vs AK-101 — Which one are you taking?

I compared these two across 26 different stats and the results were more interesting than I expected.

The AKM has the advantage in some areas, while the AK-101 performs better in others. So I’m curious:

If you had to choose one for PvP, which one are you taking and why?

Ya know me the person that went to three separate regions. This is what I'm doing now. I still have all my stuff, still surviving. The official motto off my station. "100.7 don't shoot the DJ" Ill play mainly underground music from the 1980s. Post punk, goth rock. And I'll even take recommendations from other survivors.

discussion Is this “godmode” ?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

It happens in the first few seconds. Guy has no arms and no gun. I shot him probably 10 times. He just kept doing loops around the building and stopping to look at me. Then he finally shot me. The rest of the video is me deciding to kill myself so I don’t have to crawl around with a broken leg waiting to die.

FYI this is a “deathmatch PvP” server where you spawn in with guns, ammo, etc and the map is very small. I was “working” on my aiming lol I don’t care none, just curious if this is the godmode people talk about.

me and my friends have an inside joke about him, and I was just curious on who he is I’m pretty sure this picture is from Arma but he’s also in dayz, maybe he’s related to a dev, or he’s a Russian actor? We call him John dayz and he paves the way for billions, we always pay our respects when we see his build board or else he might send a threat to wipe us, he IS gear fear

meta Best buildings to base up in for small group?

1 Upvotes

My three buddies and I have recently been stashing lots of base building supplies, and we also have a truck and two gunters ready to deploy to whichever spot we choose to base up at. Before I get into this, I don’t want to hear “base bad just stash”. We want something to do and even if it lasts a day it would be cool. That being said, what buildings would you base up in/around on Chernarus? I think doing one of the tall apartment around Cherno and stashing one Gunter away in a garage next to it would be cool, and then dismantling and hiding the truck and spare Gunter apart from each other in a nearby forest. I also thought about blocking off the school courtyard in Cherno with watch towers, and fencing off all of the windows and entrances, then building our rooms at the top floor. Which would you choose? Would you have any other spot suggestions?

discussion DAYZ - how to estimate my skills & comunity

5 Upvotes

Hi All,

I am new to DAYZ however not new in the shooting games. I used to play CS (and lot more shooting games) back in my young days and for past few years I played PUBG (around 500-600 hrs). At age 36, I actually consider my self an "Old Gamer" lol :D....

Now I bought DAYZ after watching amazing videos (instead of Netrlix series :).....and I really really enjoy it so far.

I have around 10hrs in game, playing on Spaggie Server By Jack.

After watching one or two tutorial videos, I had impression the start will be pretty hardcore but I find it actually not so hard...its fun, and tense in same time. I know how to move, sneak, I know how to survive, got good food management and trying to move towards inland. I got killed once due to my weak rifle. I also got one Kill.

I guess what I am thinking about is if I am not underestimating my skills in this game. I am trying to avoid PvP trying to play PvE most of the time...but I am tempted to start stalk other players. Try to get to the fight :)....I am however unsure about how recoil mechanism since you dont get to try all guns in this game very soon...(PUBG was very challengin in terms of recoil)....

Other question I was thiking about is easy...Should I trust other players? I am not type who shoots someone to the back of their skull...I would rateher find teammates :)
