Discussion Nasdara- Nobody asked but

67 Upvotes

Been playing on console for years and I’ve seen a fair amount of feedback regarding Nasdara, thought I would offer my opinion that no one asked for.

I think they cooked-hard af. Sure, a couple things not working properly like Heli’s or convoys not spawning loot correctly or loot spawning in the sky or underground. I gotta give it to them though, the flow is incredible. Seems more people head south to the higher tier locations than other maps. I have seen a fair amount of freshy stalkers though. As a whole experience, I didn’t think I could enjoy Dayz more than I did, yes the survival is difficult but if you find a water truck and have a few bottles, run in the shade, you will be fine. It’s nice not having to run through huge expanses of nothing. Also feels like it’s fairly easy to get loot, not in the sense that it’s COD easy but even if a town has been ravaged by people there’s still useful stuff to find.

I’d give it a 10/10 for a Dayz experience. Not perfect, lots of jank but the jank doesn’t feel annoyingly game breaking other than crashing occasionally. Love you DayZ team 🫶

Nothing of interest there, nor does any Loot spawn there. But a cool little bit of environmental storytelling and the fuselage makes a nice little refuge from that Harsh Sunlight when traversing the Dune Sea on foot.

Seen lots of posts about people saying how hard it is to stay cool. It’s easy af. Water trucks were bountiful, found 4 different ones and lots of food everywhere too. It’s a blast. Played for the first time with a friend for about 6 hours. We hunted a few people and hit up heli crashes. Sick map.

discussion Nasdara - matter of insulation

6 Upvotes

Guys,

what is your go to clothing considering inventory slots/insulation/level of water absorbtion?

I prefer OBR jacket as it has enough slots and can get drenched. Sadly OBR pants are medium insulation, but again can be drenched and have enough slots.

For backpacks and balistic protection, stab vest is medium insulation and can get soaked which is great. But press vest is high insulation/wet and so is plate carrier. I'm mostly going with stab vest here as I hate the added weight and insulation of the others. Just wish we got different colour variant more suited for desert.

Backpacks, well anything big is high insulation + mountain / tactical backpacks are even best insulation. Seems to me that either assault 36 slot medium ins/soaked or drybag 42 slots medium ins/damp are viable choices. Heck improvised courier backpack is 35 slots low ins/drenched so perhaps that one is a very good choice too.

Gloves, I've seen people running with NBC gloves as they are low insulation but can get only to damp. Durability 120 is nice though. Tactical gloves have medium insulation but can get soaked and have durability of 150. So I reckon those could be viable as well.

And as for boots, running shoes are low ins / can get drenched and have 100 durability. I'd say these are a solid choice for Nasdara since all combat boots have high or best insulation and are thus completely unusable for desert heat. btw seems to me devs forgot to add new combat desert boots with say low insulation, 150 durability, that could get perhaps up to wet?

Head and face slots are quite easy I'd say. You either take some low insulation ballistic helmet or that new T65 helmet. Those go up only to damp status though, so that's a thing to consider. I usually rock a turban or headgear made out of that new Keffiyeh scarf.

For face again this new Keffiyeh scarf is my go to. Ideally matching the colour of the one used as a hat, for maximum drip and aura farming.

Last but not least...since damaged clothing and gear loses its insulation level I guess having say damaged big backpack that was formerly high insulation would make it medium insulation? Same would go for clothing, gloves and boots.

Hm could this lead to new meta for Badlands where folks would be running around with damaged clothing & equipment?

Started my first Nasdara playthrough and was thoroughly enjoying it until I stumbled across the bunker in the far north west of the map past the dam. Theres a room in there that is just impossible to get out of. I tried over and over to climb out via throwing my backpack on the ground but it just doesnt seem like you can climb the railing. Pretty fuckin annoying way to die after such a fun life.

discussion Nasdara Heat Survival Tip - Wear Badly Damaged Clothing

4 Upvotes

I'm finding that the only really irritating part of trying to wear only worst insulation clothing is that the large backpacks have high and best insulation.

I don't want a sweaty back in this heat, I'll tell you that for free.

Wearing a badly damaged combat backpack makes it a low insulation item.

My method does mean that you are more likely to have to swap out gear but tbh there's so much of it lying all about the place that it's not been a problem for me in 40 hours of play time on Nasdara.

I shot up my fish tail jacket to make it worse insulation too.

console Ps5 shooting lag out.

3 Upvotes

Asking to find out if anyone has the same issue since it’s not the first time it’s happened but it’s certainly the most infuriating one yet.

I had a run for 2 days, got all the gear I could want and need so I went to the military airfield and came across a dude who was well geared but didn’t see me. I lined up my shot and pressed the trigger only to be met with the ps5 “something went wrong” screen. So of course with the 15 second logout delay I was by that time dead and logged back on the beach. I guess that means I missed the shot…

I absolutely love this game but crashing out everytime I shoot a riffle just won’t work so I’m wondering if that’s the case for everyone and if not then does anyone know how to fix this?
