I posted a positive review as well. Honestly I can understand why a lot of people are turned off and frustrated but this latest version of the game is really good. From what I understand the dupe'ing has been fixed 😉 ! Not only that but it is a lot harder to survive. So that should weed out some of those players that just run to the first military base, dupe and then go to the coast to shoot bambies. Currently trying to get some of my other friends to jump back in and give it another chance. Personally I have always loved the game but it has been plagued with issues and I am happy to see some new builds, better AI and a real challenge to survive!

Yes this would be helpful. I also have the Razor Kaira Pro headset. For some reason I get all kinds of disconnects with my WiFi headset. Either way, it would be nice if you could be in a party and also talk in-game proximity. My friends and I are normally in a party but will switch over to game chat if we have time, prior to getting into a gun fight. Actually had some good interaction since this update 😉 Game is becoming a lot more fun! One somewhat quick way is to go to your party and press the view button (small left button) this will switch you to game chat. Obviously this is not ideal but as long as you spot the other part first, you can do this to interact.

We are looking for members to join our group. Currently we have about 3-4 players. The LA4296 server is normally medium to high server population in the evenings. Our goal is to establish a base/trading post. Since it is harder to survive and duping has been fixed, we wanted to setup a base and trade outpost on this server. If anyone is interested send me a PM and we can exchange user names. We try not to shoot on site but we do not run from a fight either. Looking for tactical players, older, mature and ex-military if possible. If there is anyone around from the BDR from (Breaking Point), send me a message!

I heard some guys in a party yesterday complaining that duping was fixed 😉 So hopefully that is the case, it will really balance out the game for those that play fair and with out cheating! Got into a firefight last night with 4 guys in Dolina, wow a lot of fun! Gun mechanics and zombies AI has really been improved.

I am seeing the same issue. We are on an official server and have a base in the forest. The area was flat enough to put down improvised tents, crates, fire pit/oven, fence kit, etc. When I try to put down the flagpole kit, it flashes white when it is pulled out and then never again. I was wondering if this was a known issue or not.

Setting up a new server. My cousin and I wanted to setup a private server that allowed new players to spawn in somewhat close proximity to each other (Safe Zone). We will be updating loot spawns to include more weapons and ammo. If anyone is interested in joining or giving some ideas on configuration we would really appreciate it. Server name is "Sons of Liberty | Survival PvE PvP | Safe Zones | High Loot | In Configuration". We want to setup something fun and easy, not too many rules and not too complicated. For instance, of the private servers we were on had a wet bag spawn near when a player spawned in with some useful items Not sure how they did this but would like to find out. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Ha, I wish mine craft had better graphics and physics. One day with better hardware, software, etc. I am sure there will be a game similar. I would love to play a game that is a sandbox like Minecraft, with the graphics of DayZ and the gunplay/physics of the new Modern Warfare 😉 oh that would be an awesome game! Or a survival game the size of DayZ but the game play, graphics, responsiveness of Destiny 2...

Yeah you just have to learn the map. However, I think that they should add a map feature to the game and allow party members or friends to show up on the map. I know this is not realistic but it would make a better UI for new players that are trying to get into the game. I have been playing DayZ since the mod and understand it is a survival game but I do not think a map feature would make the big of a deal. Or maybe allow players to party with friends prior to joining a server and allow them to spawn together or much closer. Many of my friends stopped playing this game right away because of this.

So I have been a DayZ player since the original mod. It has always been a fun survival zombie game and I love the direction it has gone over the last couple years. That being said I have promoted the game to many of my Xbox friends, in many cases friends and family. The one biggest complaint as to why they do not enjoy the game is because it is too hard to find your friends and that there is no map. Personally it does not matter to me if there is map or not. However, it is much easier if you are a PC gamer, with multiple monitors to just pull up a DayZ map on the other screen but this is not the case for consoler players. I honestly think that if this was added, or a way to spawn closer together, it would help increase the player base and make it more fun for casual gamers. Anyway, figured someone has already brought this up but thought I would throw it out there.

Yeah that is a great idea.

Not sure if this would be too realistic for some but I was thinking a chance to trip or fall when jumping fences... Maybe make it a low probability but still have it happen every now and then... it would be funny and add some difficult when fleeing zombie or other players. Again with soft skills but maybe this could also be included in some fashion, maybe the longer you survive the chances of you tripping is reduced...

My cousin and I rented a server to play around with vehicles, crafting, guns, etc. We had not used the car for a number of days but it was fully repaired and had gear in it. Do cars despawn if they are not used for a specific amount of time or did it get stolen?

Just wanted to check in and see if anyone has heard anything on a hotfix or something to stop duping? It is a serious problem in the game.

I think the best stash would be a sea chest, as you can burry those and they have 150 slots. However, you can not build them as far as I know and they are a heavy SoB to carry around! Really need a car, which is hard to get running on a public server unless you have a big team.

Just trying to figure it out, if I need to get in and drive it a couple times a week, no problem... I just did not realize that they would all together disappear if not being used.

Awesome, thank you.

Is there a good link that explains out the server restarts work in DayZ both official servers and private? I noticed when shutting down our private server to make changes to the config., then bringing it back online that there were still trees cut down, etc. Is there a separate restart or something that happens with the database that has nothing to do with server controls?

Me too! I like the survivalist play style, living in the woods, watching... waiting 😉

It would be awesome to be able to craft some type of rain/moister catch with a barrel. This would add some depth to the survivalist game play style.

It would be pretty awesome to also see some type of shove or push animation when breaking free from rope, handcuffs, etc. Not sure if this could also play into a soft skill or be improve or have a chance to happen but if you were tied up and managed to get free, it would be cool if you were able to shove anyone standing next to you when freed. This would put them off guard and maybe give you a chance to flee or draw a weapon.

Yeah it would be nice, that way after crafting one, you could survive more in the woods producing your own water and hunting... maybe get a little condensation daily that will help enough just to keep you alive and then have it become more full when it rains...

I watched a video that spoke about soft skills. It would be awesome if there were soft skills that benefited certain play styles but did not give a huge advantage. For instance, if you hunt, make clothing out of hides, skin animals, etc. Then you get a small benefit towards weight or carry capacity when using crafted clothing or ghillie suite once your soft skill gets maxed out or make it easier to sneak up on animals or past zombies, etc. Then on death these skills reset like the current soft skills. From what I understand, repairing clothes currently promotes a soft skill... not sure if that is true or not.

Another suggestion for those who like to play the survivalist role or play style. It would be awesome if there were some plants in the world that had medicinal properties that could be harvested and used... maybe to craft crude antibiotics, disinfectant, etc.

@Man Parts 241 Wow... is that on a private server? How long did that take you?

I would like to join, Xbox GT = ShalowTech just looking for a server to play with crafting so I am good with no PvP. How many slots?
