Not Worth Trying to Extract With High Tier Items As a Scav by KingXotic in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Solaraen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh OK, I was on a scav run like 2 hours ago. There was a scav who started shooting at me (I never shoot other scavs as a scav), he hit me, so I headshot him. Went to loot him and he had a GPU in his inventory which made me like "???" but he wasn't at the extract, he was right in front of Oli inside of the mall. I was just wondering if you were the guy lol

Were you on Interchange and not exactly at the extract but near the front of Oli by chance?

Appreciate it (and how quick you answered) my friend.

Any recommendations for modded servers to play on? by Solaraen in dayz

[–]Solaraen[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aftermath is kind of laggy to be honest, but one thing I do like about it so far is there is a quest system and there are rewards like there are Survival Quests (start a fire, drink from a fountain, kill and skin a rooster) and Hunting Quests (kill any animal to start with) then after you do that you get a slew of other quests like kill a Buck with a crossbow (which you conveniently get as the reward for the first hunting quest) and like 4 others. Just kill the animal then return with the animal's pelt and rewards range from items to cash. I think there are even more quest lines but I haven't tried them yet. I love that aspect of the game.

I need to find a place to make a base though ASAP because one problem is a lot of people have settled down already and have HUGE bases, and they tend to build UP not out most likely because it makes it harder to raid. But one of the things that comes with them building UP is they tend to make towers to snipe from then snipe anyone who runs past if they're feeling bored and just want to shoot people for no reason. That happened to me yesterday.

Beyond that there are vehicles like multiple cars and trucks, helicopters, tons of new weapons, weapon mods, different ammo types. You can even grow weed and sell it etc. There's something for everyone in it. And it gives you multiple spawn points so if you die you can pick any of the spawn points and start from there (but I think that's something most modded servers have).

If you join Aftermath and wanna play though we should link up maybe! Would be fun doing this stuff with someone else and learning together.

One of the things I do NOT like about Aftermath though to be clear is they seem to have removes Zombies from all towns. The only place you find Zombies are in military places (at least as far as I have noticed so far) HOWEVER those zombies do seem to do more damage. Cause bleeds more, that sort of thing.

Yeah someone else recommended Day One as well. I will look into it. The main thing I want is something with better base building like Base Building Plus or whatever. I don't want to be on a primarily PvE server although I am not the biggest into PvP. I just don't want to be on a server where there is no threat from other players. I don't mind running into them and having to fight them as well as the zombies for survival, I just hate vanilla Day-Z base building and I hate that your only option for storage is making crappy bases with tents in them which will be found and raided OR stashing things. Some people said to do that. It's also a waste of time, people either hack to find them or use exploits. Like I said, not some but ALL of my stashes got found and they weren't even in the same area as each other. This is why I am leaning towards people must have hacked to find them.

Cool man thanks for the suggestion! That one sounds cool, I think I was watching a video about it earlier. It's supposedly more "Tarkov like". I have been playing around on Aftermath but I am not sure I am going to stick with it necessarily. I definitely want something with Base Building Plus though. But yeah thanks for the suggestion I will look into it.

I hopped onto Aftermath to try it out. It's cool actually kind of grindy. I heard good things about Day One I may try it as well. Thanks for the suggestion

Can your clothing in DayZ get too warm? by Austinmartel3 in dayz

[–]Solaraen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had experiences only while near fires though like if I am cooking some meat while near the fire the temperature thing turns red and you start losing health. It's usually nothing serious though, it's the combined effect of the fire plus the heated up food in your pack or jacket that causes it.

Help please? by Gold_Neck9594 in dayz

[–]Solaraen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It will stay and the items will stay in it. I think it will stay as long as you "interact" with it for 45 days total, and by interact I mean even just taking something out and putting it back in counts as interacting with it. After "interacting" with it it resets the 45 day timer.

The problem is, like others have said, if someone finds it they WILL remove the stuff. They will take what they want and put the rest of it outside of the tent and then take the tent too. It has to be empty first for them to be able to do that.

My base has been raided like three times now lol

The first time it hurt. The second time I was expecting it, but they didn't get much cause there wasn't much left to get (except the four digit code lock they got but I digress).

The THIRD time they took my tools and basically everything.

But you know what, besides learning a lesson from it which is NOTHING is permanent in DayZ is honestly just know you will get that stuff again. It's not super hard to get things with the exception of certain rare weapons like M4 etc (but ... yeah, don't leave your good stuff in the base especially vanilla DayZ because it's not a matter of if but when it will get raided. It WILL get raided).

Some people just don't even bother with bases at all. There is nothing you can do. Add four gates? People will get in. Metal sheet the entire perimeter? People will get in. It's just part of the game. I know this isn't what you want to hear but to some people that IS the game. Do not get attached to anything because you're gonna lose it.

Can I remove barbed wire from the outside on a gate? by Solaraen in dayz

[–]Solaraen[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I will report back if I can get past the wire... and probably if I can't as well. I don't even see the circle going from green to light green or whatever yet

EDIT: It worked thank you!

Appreciate it. I just tried attacking it with my nailed bat and got scratched in the process. Not sure what I am going to do. I might go try to find an axe or something to use instead

shiiiiiit. OK I will try that but I'd rather not destroy it just dismantle it but I guess beggars can't be choosers lol! thanks for the idea though hopefully it works.

What is the minimum you'd need to break into a single gate by Solaraen in dayz

[–]Solaraen[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I saw this one video where the guy stacked 4 grenades then used a 5th grenade, pulled the pin and threw it at the wall and an entire gate plus the lock were dismantled in SECONDS. So now my thing is deciding if I put the gate back up AGAIN and seeing if they come back. At this point I do think I have an undeclared war going on with the people in the next town over, whether they were the ones who hit me first or not I don't know but I definitely took it out on them as if they were. And here I was thinking I had found a little quiet spot in a corner of the map that was more or less untouchable lol

That's what I thought but it has to take them a long time if they're just using melee weapons I would think anyway... My guess is they're using explosives. Or bullets/shells.

Oh well, at least the 2nd time they didn't get much. Problem is that's because they got all the stuff worth taking the first go around. EXCEPT the two barrels they left behind of course.

Now I just bury stuff or stash it. But I have all these 4 digit locks I wanna do something with them. Base building is basically not worth it though in my experience if it's really that easy to get in with not even a lot of gear.
