I think you broke binoculars and rangefinder.. at least they don't work for me.

That's right.. Lure them in with untold fortunes, only to shoot them in the face and then eat them, cannot supply with guns so they can't defend themselves? Well, that's what I'd think since your name seems like french for little cannibal.. yeah, good one dude.

Yep, had the same issue a few times. I thought at first it was tied to severity of damage of the item your trying to fix (the more it's damaged = more of the kit it would use) but it's not.. seems to happen randomly.

Bravo, Thanks for telling a bunch more people how to do it. You can use the Personal Message/Direct Message magic forum function to alert mods or devs of the issue, then no more public eyes need to see it.. you are only gonna make the problem worse otherwise.

Was gonna do a big write-up on how to make really good use of the hotbar (quickslots, whatever they are called) but then I realized you are posting in the Xbox section.. doh. Sorry don't know.

OK guys I have a query.. so I found enough shit to craft the full ghillie and the ghillie hood (and a mosin wrap) but my assault (camo) vest pouch is sticking out the front of the suit, what's best to use with ghillie for maximum storage returns without compromising concealment?

Hahahaha! Subbed. Why do I never see this kind of shit happening in DayZ? All I ever run into is axe wielding madmen who wanna cut me up for meat.

Being geared.. they would have killed you in a heartbeat, with their bare fists if necessary.. freshies have nothing to lose when they are up against a seasoned lone survivor, never say sorry, you simply did what had to be done.. what I'm sure we'd all do in the same situation. Safer to trust no one and live than make a rash decision and lose it all.

A true survivor.

Where are you guys finding the netting? I've checked about 20 small boats along the coast and all they seem to spawn is drinks, food and drybags..

I'm from Staffordshire and an unfortunate supporter of Stoke City haha! Next time I play (usually weekends) I'll jump on your discord.

Had some fun on your server last night, thanks. Ran into someone at Electro who said he was friendly (I did point my weapon at him though) we quickly parted ways since I figured why PvP when both of us were relatively fresh spawns and I'd only just found the gun and 5 rounds.. but a bit further down the road that same dude shot me dead whilst I was dealing with some zombies, hope you read this! Whoever you were.. lemme guess.. you were hiding that pistol in your pack huh? Next time let's chat man to man? I'd have straight up given you some of my shit. Anyway you know it's popular when your waiting in a queue of 15. Also being an EU/UK server is perfect for me. I'll be dropping by again for sure.

Yeah I've been critical. Also maybe gone a little to far in things I've said but I'm a firm believer that if everyone was all like "love the game, be patient.. it's alpha" (to the point it gets your back up since we can all see the game has had a rocky ride in terms of stability, content etc) bla.. bla then what message does that send the developers? that gamers enjoy playing broken unfinished games? In the real world I'm a calm person I don't get mad at trivial things but I think a lot of people have forgotten we bought into a promise, that we'd get a DayZ that was infinitely better than the mod.. in some ways yes we have gotten that but by god had we known it was gonna be this long (and still going) until it even caught up with what we had.. it takes a special kinda person to just be happy and content with how things have gone. I actually applaud the devs for sticking by the game through all the turmoil. Let's just hope and that's really all we can do, that the future is even brighter for DayZ. Honestly since I've given it another fair look I do think it's getting there, it's definately better than the last time I tried it (without zombies) but for me it's still not there yet.. the zombies still need work and a whole lot more content needs to be added whilst maintaining stability. If you asked me "Is this the 1.0 you were expecting?" I'd have to say no sir.. this game should not be considered stable and bug free, as it is not.

Thanks, back in the day I used to sit on top of hills (or anywhere safe really) watching PvP'ers in Cherno, through binoculars. I had no balls back then to get involved, or rather I knew better. I'd often go down there after calm to mop up any leftover loot, then straight back to my spot for the next show. As much as I miss them old times, this past few weeks (even parts of this story) have learned me that them times can in some ways come back.

I've been trying out some DayZ since 1.0, figure it's about time since I've been sitting on this title for years and 1.0 means we're now there right? (yeah let's not go into that) Anyway here's a little adventure I went on over the space of three separate nights, all happenings in the same server. Spawned at Solnechiy (I don't know why but I spawn there 90% of the time!) and went on a looting trek, looking a bit like this (remember over three nights of 2-3 hour sessions) I basically circled around the map Got quite lucky near spawn and found a Scorpion with mag and bullets in a police station (the small ones that usually only seem to spawn police clothing) found myself a backpack and a couple water bottles, enough for a fair sized trek anyway. Stopped by a few military spots on the way, but by far the most fruitful lootspot of the whole journey (in regards of weapons and clothing) was by killing two highly stacked up guys who were looting some tents near Staryoye. I did ask if they were friendly but the crack of a bullet just missing me was enough to know that wasn't gonna be the case. I only just scraped through the encounter which went on for almost 10 minutes, it was like a wild goose chase, one of them went down quite easily, I was taking hits, running away to bandage in cover whenever I could.. my heart thumping the whole time, my fingers slipping off and miss-pressing keys in a panic I aint felt in DayZ for years, loved it! Anyway looted one of the guys grabbed all his mil gear and weapons, went over to to check the other guy but his body had already disappeared (you need to fix that devs!) so waited for my blood and health to get back to relative normality, keeping a close eye on the are incase anyone else turned up and off I went. For the next two nights of playtime nothing really eventful happened, I did have a guy run into a hunting cabin I was also inside looting but he just saw me, turned and ran off without interaction, like he saw me in my mil gear and thought "fuck that see ya later pal" and I never ran into him again. So it was just me and my trusty compass, stopping at small towns and random houses in the wilderness to find food and eat, to top up water bottles that I'd managed to swap out for canteens over time.. all the way around the map until my journey came to an abrupt end near Balota, a rather silly and very DayZ way to end any story.. twas this kinda door that killed me I was running from some zombies as I'd ran out of ammo in my pistol and went to open that stupid door while running toward it, it opened and I thought I ran inside turned to close the door (all this happening very fast so I could get in, shut door and be safe) but I got stuck in some weird laggy void between the door and outside, like the game didn't know if I was in or out of the building and them zombies just smacked me to death, all I could do is watch as the screen went black, my health icon turn red and you know the rest.. generally a lot of cursing while blankly staring, face in palm at the "You are Dead" screen. I enjoyed myself for sure but I think I'm gonna wait some more before embarking on another adventure.. honestly the game is getting better. I especially didn't think those unique DayZ feels would ever come back but they did! Nights were darker than dark, lighting up a fire or sparking up a flare looked brilliant and the day times looked like typical DayZ.. beautiful. I regret not taking any screenshots of my character visiting landmarks and castles, things like that...... and oh before I go I'd like to mention those hiking trails are an excellent addition to the map, they have given new means of transport rather than sticking to roads, love them too!
