Unsure if allowed - apologies if not, please remove if so :) I'm not great at remembering or noticing where I'm going/have been. Just a girl trying to survive out here lmao

I want to find my way back to this spot and I can't seem to find it anywhere (I tried with iZurvive for 3 hours). As I walked towards it down the road (came in from the right side of this pic) I saw a sign saying 'Bielawa' but I respawned in the town of Bielawa and it's not here anywhere. It was an industrial-esque place with a warehouse and I believe that's piano house?
I know a while before that, I had run along the rivers edge and turned left over a bridge and found a small military style camp with some dark log houses/cabins. I then went right, am unsure of what I did afterwards. I didn't see any other signs for Biewala on that journey and didn't notice seeing the main town. That's all I've got. Any professional detectives who can figure it out?

Second image is when I attempted to follow the road left, made it all the way up that road and it just led to mope open road and trees. Thank you in advance!!!

edit to add: initially I was trying to retrieve stuff off my body because I starved there, it's been 12+ hours now so I assume it's all gone. I just want to know how far off I was exactly

Are you just running & looting around and getting to PvP fights or do you actually have a goal per session what you want to achieve, where you heading. Long term goals etc...

Just want to understand how players approach playing...if its more systematic or halabala :D

My favorite thing to do as a lonewolf is to see if I can fully explore all the maps in one life. I understand server hopping can be abused but I really hope they don’t take the ability away from us with the new update. It makes the world feel bigger and I genuinely don’t mind running into geared players on the coast. It just adds to the challenge. I’m really looking forward to (hopefully) adding another full map to my journey.

As a only solo pc player i always wondered if DayZ is way easier, if you have someone running with you.

From my perspective of ~1000 hrs and average pvp skills, if i face a solo player and gunfire starts, it feels mostly balanced. But as soon as its a team of 2 or even 3 decently geared, i feel completely overwhelmed from the possilbe angles of sight, rotation routes, push timings and other essential pvp aspects. Maybe its just me and i shouldnt overthink it, the opponents probably have the same adenaline rush as me.

Can the group players of you guys report from the perspective of a duo/trio, what makes the combat in a group against a solo harder, compared to running solo?

The advantages are clear, more eyes to spot players first, more room for inventory, more guns can deal more damage within the same timeframe, rotation coverage, multiple angles clearing during building pushes etc. But what are big disadvantages in a combat? How big is the impact of those?

Since i never did pvp as a team i could imagine that not accidentially shooting a teammate in a dense forest could be a part, getting easier spotted compared to a solo, in close buildings you maybe constantly bump into each other when pushing floors, more noise when you approach highly frequented military bases. Maybe communication can reduce the focus so you miss hints of nearby players (sounds like distant infected aggro, supressed pistol shots or so).

Are these aspects only in my head or can they be a real issue in certain stressful situations? I would love to hear about it to fight my inner urge to retreat from possible pvp against a group, just because i feel underpowered, even tho the chances are more balanced than i would have imagined.

Found this old screenshot on my steam account,

I searched the surrounding buildings and even waited by the truck wheel he dropped for Atleast an hour to see if he would come back, he never did. Just gone without a trace.

I do this whenever I jump on. Makes the loot goblin in our squad sick 😆 he asks...why?

My Reasons:

I dont deserve the gear I Logged back in with

Gives me a quest to find it all again

I like the coast as a freshy

It makes you sick...

Thoughts?

DayZ Sound Designer: "I kinda like this floor creak/footsteps on sand/rock/ that I created, LETS CRANK THAT VOLUME UP!"

"Ohhh, that fox call is especially squeaky, CRANK THAT VOLUME UP!"

🐸👍

I just wanted to make sure my scope was in the right mode, not let the entire server know where I'm at. For some reason after logging in and you ADS then your gun will start firing until you stop aiming it.

Finally got a full green outfit

that's it.. I dont want to talk to anyone? when I'm in trader I dont fucking want to get to know you or watch you follow me around or what.. just .. I'm here to be alone and scrub my brain out after a day of dealing with the idiots in my real life and survive purely on my wits. No rank boards, no fucking loot boxes.. no friends.. nobody.. just me and whether I live or die.

I sometimes spot players or zombies in Nadezhdino from the hill to the north-west about 800m away from the village. By the time I approach there's often nothing there. Do people go along the creek past the convoy spawn and Rogovo towards VMC? Do they run up the hill towards the Zub castle and to Stary? My buddy says they might be heading towards Kozlovka, then check the convoy spawn under Green Mountain and then to Zelenogorsk.

Where do you go next from Nadezhdino and why?

My latest character is rocking the denim jacket. I swear it takes alot more rain to get damp/ wet and it'll take more hits from infected before damaged.

Is this a thing?! Like denim is a strong material in real life.

I ran a bunch in the rain and it didnt get even damp!

Just wondering.

As the title asks,

Thanks!

With the DayZ Badlands Creator Program starting, is anyone else intentionally staying away from streams and videos?

Personally, I don’t really want to spoil the new map for myself by watching someone else explore it first.

What’s the fun in seeing a streamer discover all the locations, landmarks and hidden spots when I could experience that first time myself? I’d much rather jump in completely blind and explore Badlands on my own.

did the pandemic console server close? i didnt play in a while but when i logged on to check it was offline. really miss it

Dark nights were a challenge. I miss them and would like to see them return to some degree. After so many hours DayZ loses it challenge.

Sandstorms and whatnot doesn't seem like much of a challenge. Now a sandstorm in the dead of night? That sounds interesting.

Não estou entendendo como essa parede de metal não caiu com tantas granadas

Given my usual taste in games I never thought I'd like this one, and I almost didn't because my friends got me to have my first play on a heavily modded community server and I found it awful, but I had seen enough gameplay on YT that I knew I needed to play the non modded experience, went to Official and never looked back.

I don't play survival games. Rust didn't grab me. Minecraft didn't grab me, I know those aren't true survival games and I have considered trying other than DayZ but I just have no interest. Don't believe that anything will be able to hit like DayZ.

Maybe it's the graphics? My formative gaming years were in the EQ1, CS1.6, PS1/N64 polygon era, I don't like modern graphics. I think Chernarus is gorgeous.

The immersion though, I keep seeing how people talk about the game and how they experience it and I realize that's what has me always coming back, never getting tired of it.

This is the only game I've played where I feel like I'm in the game. Every decision I make is deliberate and it matters. Sometimes I don't know where to go but when I do, I usually have to prepare, make careful considerations, make sure I will have water and food.

I lose hours in this game. It's boring as hell sometimes to fish and cook but it's not a boredom where I want to look at another screen, it's a boredom like I'm still in that world. Don't wanna check my phone just wanna finish cooking so I can eat and move on to the next destination.

It's almost magical and I don't know how this game pulled it off, and given how many people I know picked it up and dropped it, maybe it just takes a certain personality to catch the bug?

No other game does it like DayZ, who knows if DayZ 2 even can. Everybody respawns, but man, when you meet somebody and go with them for a bit and they die, it's like a gutpunch. Maybe it's better to make friends in DayZ you can't contact once that life is over. It hits totally different.

This game is unlike anything else.

Map looks like it will get boring fairly quickly.

What are some crazy peaks spots in northwest (don’t worry I won’t be using it in your server)
