Just found my first suppressor but noticed infected still aggro when firing, is this intended? I don't think they do on PC but not sure.

Yeah I agree, there's no way a moon the size I've seen can't cast some sort of light.

Age - 30+ Mic - Yes Experience - 1k+ Hours on PC (stopped playing PC around version 0.60) About 2 - 3 weeks on Console. During my PC dayz (I was apart of a 20+ man clan where I was second in command) Activity - Can't guarantee active most days during a week (I have a 20+ month baby to care for but I try to be active at least 2 hours a day) Location - Scotland (UK) Langue - English + Scottish slang when I get annoyed lol Job - I can do pretty much anything apart from building, I've not done that yet.

I have to admit I'm not that keen on the inventory system myself but you do get used to it rather quickly. Again, the rendering is something I hate, as some have already said, it takes too long for you to be able to see through a zoomed optic, I've found myself just looking at a grey circle while waiting for it to render. Lucky I've never been in a fire fight or had to take aim and fire quickly, as this would be impossible. All in all, I can live with the inventory system but when I look down my optics, I want to be able to see immediately.

The closest servers to the UK are the UK servers. They have been there since I started playing on PS4 about 2 or 3 weeks ago.

The game is advertised as perma-death survival. This means when you die you start from scratch. Don't like how that works, don't play it.

My head hurts after trying to read that, but I think I get the gist of it, he died and got mad, cool.

I don't think it can hurt to test it out, if it is then you can play in 1080p with out the issue, if it's not then you're back where you started. Edit: You should be able to go into the display settings via your PS4 and change it to 1080p

My first day... I spawn somewhere between Kami and Electro I make my way West to the city, I get there and notice how different it was (Last played on PC on version .60) I loot up get some food, and a splitting axe. I enter a two story building, start looking for food when I hear a shotgun being loaded. I hit the ground, and don't move a inch, I hear slow moving footsteps, I get into a position to see the stairs. Must have been 2 minutes had passed when I finally see someone creeping around the stairs, shotgun in hand, pointing at me. My heart skips and beat, I think to myself well, it's been a good hour of looting but beach, here I come. I open up comms and say "Hey there, I don't have a gun, don't shoot" A few seconds pass then I hear, "Hi, it's cool, I'm friendly, I'm coming up" I let out a sight of relief. I spend a few minutes chatting with the guy, offered a trade but we didn't have anything that interested each other, he says "Okay I'm going to head off, don't try and kill me lol" I thanked him for being friendly and not killing me, I assured him I'd wait a few minutes before leaving the building. As I continued my looting around Electro I thought to myself, "wow is Dayz changed that much that people are actually willing to talk before shooting?" As the dark started to set in, it was becoming harder to see, I wish I kept that flare. I could hardly see 2 feet in front of me when I heard a moan, followed by another, before I knew it, I was being mauled by two infected and woke up on the beach again.

Just wondering are you using the PS4 Pro or Standard? You mention a 4k TV are playing in 4k? I'm using a standard PS4 playing in 1080p and don't have this issue, a friend who also started playing on PS4 doesn't have this problem, I'm sure he's running 1080p on a standard Playstation as well. Edit: Sorry it was someone else who mentioned the 4k TV not the OP, question still stands I guess.

There is UK servers.

I play on a standard PS4 on a 1080p TV and feel like it's more that 30 fps for me.

The quickest way to find a day time server is joining a high / full pop server, seems no one likes playing in the dark. I really like it, adds to the fear factor.

It should have been there from the start, I was shocked when I launched the game for the first time and I couldn't edit my character. For me, I don't feel like playing as a female being male, it sort of makes me feel like some weird Internet guy pretending to be a female.

Clearly states (first person only) in the server name. From what I can tell there's only about 3 or 4 per region, for example 3 for the UK, 3 for NL, 3 for RU and so on. However I do have my filter set to hide full servers so there might be more.

Or build your base in a location you know and not just same random place. I'm sure you know how to map read right?

You must be new here... Elektro has always been a PVP hotspot. Well apart from that 1 time they removed the spawns in Elektro it went a little "dead" in there but soon changed back when they added the spawns again.

I was getting that 503 error yesterday as well.

Is it? Is it really that what's killing the game? Or is it that people are joining low pop servers to gear up without the fear of being shot by the first player they bump into while running from building to building, due to everyone else being there only to PvP and kill everything that moves.

Why do people seem to forget that they are rewriting millions of lines of code and that isn't a small task and is going to take a long time, which in turn is going to slow a lot of things down.

To everyone who's complaining about the development taking far too long, I've said it before and I'll say it again. I would rather them take ages and release a game that has the lowest amount of bugs possible than having the game released tomorrow with a ton of bugs that could have been fixed if they just pushed it back. Lets look at DICE and the release of Battlefield 4. Do we want a game like that, a game that's still as broken as it was when they released it back in 2013?

There's a few reasons to wiping, one being to get rid of the duped gear as the devs try to make it even harder for the exploiters to dupe their gear, other reasons would include but not limited to removing spawned in gear by these pesky cheaters, removing items that are not needed in a particular build. I hate to be "that guy" but as so many others have said already in here and in many different posts, it's Alpha these things are to be expected, at the end of the day, we're here to help build DayZ not play it as a finished product. Also to the guy who thinks getting to v1.0 means we're out of Alpha and into the Beta, you're sorely mistaken, Hicks himself has already stated that these version numbers are nothing but numbers and doesn't really mean anything in regards to Alpha or Beta builds.

That's because during development things don't always work out as intended. I'm sure there's been things in your life that didn't quick work out, like that 5 minute trip to pick up milk, it turns out it took you 15 minutes because the traffic was heavier than expected. If they aren't, it doesn't mean they didn't stay true to their word, as I said above.

The wildlife population isn't based on anything other than server performance (I'm sure it's be been said before, I've not read through the topic) Once the game progresses through it's development these numbers will most likely increase.

Meh, I can't help it, I love playing with the trolls.
