Hey Survivors,

Week 1 of DayZ Badlands

We’re thrilled to announce that more than 325,500 units of DayZ Badlands have been purchased across all platforms, and DayZ reached a peak of more than 435,500 concurrent players during the launch period. It’s been a massive success, not just in terms of sales, but also in the amount of community content, opening up more doors and opportunities for DayZ and its community as a whole. We’re humbled by your support and sincerely appreciate all the love you’ve shown Nasdara. You can find the data below:

Nasdara is truly a labor of love for all of us, and we wanted to share a few words about what it means to the team. So, we’ve prepared a dev diary video for you below. Please enjoy!

What’s next in the coming weeks?

The work doesn’t stop here. We released the first patch last week, addressing a number of issues. Some modding and community related issues arose along the way, and we’re making internal changes to help future patches roll out more smoothly and consistently. We have also reached out and working to improve our communication with server owners and modders.

We’re also working on a hotfix focused on crashes and other Badlands-related problems that need more urgent attention. We expect it to enter Experimental as soon as this week Thursday (find the patch notes here), followed by a Stable release next week. More details on this soon. After that, a second patch will address more issues and make adjustments to some features in DayZ Badlands. We’ll continue sharing dev blogs about these changes and other topics we’d like to explore. We enjoy putting these blogs together, so you can expect more of them for general updates in the future, too.

The Halloween seasonal event started this Monday, the 26th, on Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox. We also plan to support Christmas, our final seasonal event of the year, but more on that later.

Again, thank you so much for all your support and love.
Big love from us too,
The DayZ Team

  • If you are ADVERTISING a DayZ SERVER don't forget to provide crucial info like Country, Platform, IP, Mods, Name, Description, Playstyle and Rules.

discussion The radio should be for the people first, loot second.

52 Upvotes

I’m not sure if the devs even look at this sub, but I’ll shoot my shot anyway. I have hosted a radio show (The Stash on WFML-87.8) on Dayone servers for over a year and the recent update has me feeling bummed. The Morse code frequency being the new default is a step in the wrong direction imo. I think the Morse code thing is cool, but the waves should be for the people. I’ve had so many amazing interactions over the airwaves and ever since the frequency shuffle I haven’t heard anyone. When people interact with a radio they tend to click it on and if they hear nothing then they just click it off again. They even took my beautiful PA systems from Nasdara (I haven’t found one at least). So please, BI devs make the radio primarily for players to interact with players and just scoot them beeps on down the line.

Discussion Why Do Most "Official," or "Vanilla" Servers Play Nothing Like Official

41 Upvotes

If you have stamina plus, or loot plus, then don't have "official," or "vanilla" in your server name. So sick of loading into servers like Karma Krew and finding a gun in the first house, and then 3 more with ammo in the police station. Might as well just go play pubg at that point.

How do I fix this? I’m on official servers and I’m constantly getting snuck up on by zombies walking through walls and now a pack of wolves just showed up and attacked me inside the walls. What’s going on?

Playing on Nasdara with my buddies they started talking about a seeing a castle in the distance. I couldn’t see it at all, first image is their perspective second image is mine. We all play on base PS5, so why are they getting such a higher draw distance?

discussion Cutting sleeves off clothing should be a thing

6 Upvotes

Anyone else feel like we should be able to cut sleeves off jackets and shirts with a knife to reduce insulation? I always find myself overheating in Livonia when wearing some of the better clothing. I think it’d be a cool little survival mechanic where you sacrifice some protection for better temperature control. Maybe even use the leftover sleeves as rags.

Thought I'd post a clip since these are kind of rare, roughly every 10 hours, somewhat random. They look so cool as they roll across the desert, really changes conditions. These guys found shelter to wait it out as it does a bit of damage and visibility is pretty bad. Nice seeing DayZ put the work into making this new map have so much detail. This is from TRMZ on Twitch/YouTube...

Discussion Are NBC gloves bugged?

• Upvotes

I do have extensive history with this game, so I would not ask unless I really think there was something wrong.

I have discovered approximately 10 random convoy spawns
Checked hospitals 20 different times
Fire stations about 15 times.
Numerous helicopter crash crashes.
I’ve checked the yellow medical tent sites about eight times
I’ve also checked the NWAF plane site about 5 times.
I’ve been searching for about a week and have found every single piece of NBC equipment several times, but not one pair of gloves.

Official server first person.

Anyone else experiencing this issue?

Discussion Dead zombies stay for a long while now

• Upvotes

I've been camping around a bit and I've noticed dead zombies stay in the ground for hours now. It's not all of them, some despawn after 10 minutes like usual, but others stay hours, even when nobody's around, even after logging out and reloging after a couple hours.

Me and my friend respect this. We raided your ass but you killed us all with your unpinned grenade after we got you, fair game in my book.

You had a orange jacket and we all died in a green 2-story house.

lfs Help needed: my friend and I don't see the same community servers.

• Upvotes

I play with my friend on linux, him on pc, on official servers, but we always wind up getting one tapped by invisible cheaters. We want to play on com servers but anything i see and tell him to look up he doesn't see and vice versa. There are a couple servers we've found in common but they are quite rare. Yes we've done direct search of ip and server. I've downloaded dayzgui and that's didn't help. It's a very odd issue cause we see similar looking servers but not the exact same ones. Any insight would be appreciated...
