thepoey

been barking up this tree since at least December lol. It suuuuuccckkkkssssss.

LOL 400 slots server will never happen, the game would melt. Give up the helicopter dream, it’s never gonna happen. Same with the horde.

Lol

No reason to be an asshole about it.

It is entirely possible that duping is not achievable on PS4! It could very easily be an Xbox specific problem. Without going into details from what I have seen online on how this exploit is achieved, they use stuff specific to the Xbox platform. I don't know what this person is on screaming at you about; everything you say is totally valid.

I know the server problems with cars are well documented, by why is traction/acceleration, especially on hills and dirt roads, such an issue? It doesn't seem like a server problem, it's like the car just loses all ability to accelerate once it hits even the slightly incline, but there's no rhyme or reason to it. Some parts of the map are significantly worse than others. Was able to get out of this by zig zagging, but enjoy this with my buddy's commentary. Hopefully this is something that also gets a look. The car just grinded to a halt. It feels like it has more to do with the map itself or the ground? https://youtu.be/8s805Y3AALY

They did disable the eggs in the latest EXP update, hopefully this was why.

On Xbox. I know PC has its own set of issues, but yeah, duping is specifically a bigger problem on consoles. alt accounts are super annoying but I don’t think BI can do much about that. Unless your login gets slightly randomized within an area? I don’t know. Honestly I think the only people building bases anymore ARE dupers. It’s so easy to bust in, anyone playing legit isn’t going to spend the time, but the people duping have no problem since it gives them endless resources. I also never really see bases anymore, aside from the absurd mega structures, which sucks.

All my complaints come from experience. Days after the most recent wipe, I found a stash of about 20 military tents. Since then, I've found similar stashes. The biggest evidence is the massive megabases people construct in hours. I posted video evidence of one of them. It's just stuff that by its sheer scope, would be in no way possible by conventional means, especially not in the time it takes these people to construct them. The one I posted recently was the size of Gorka. It's truly wild. It could be 3 people, it could be 20; there's truly no way to know for sure of course, but it's still a problem. The problem with the way this game's loot economy works, is that it only takes a small handful of people per server to dupe, to completely ruin it. But it's definitely not nearly dead. It may not be as easy to do as it was in the past, but it hasn't gone anywhere. If anything, it's more that the people who were doing it in massive numbers have just moved on from DayZ. Here's said example. We eventually made it inside after someone else had busted in and there was tons of sea chests, tents, obnoxious amounts of ammo, tools, etc. And this is the second such megabase found on this server after the wipe. And pre wipe, the problem was just even more out of control, so what likely happened is that patched one exploit, and the dupers found another. (Which, you can find video evidence of pretty easily. I've reported it to the feedback tracker, but *shrugs*)

Yeah, it's like they have no idea how bad it is, can't fix it, or just don't care. This is what people are doing on 1.12 on consoles with duping the Egg capsules. Funny, sure, but when you extrapolate this to the entire loot economy? What is even the point in playing this game? Duping is a PRIORITY issue. It utterly breaks the game, and it's been in this state for months. If you can't fix it, pull the game from the fucking store. Edit: The frustrating part is mainly the utter refusal to even comment on it. No update on if it's being investigated, on if there's any progress. Just burying their heads in the sand.

Yeah it’s really absurd. There’s only a handful of vanilla 1pp servers on Xbox, and all of them are stuffed with Dupers. The worst part is on top their huge mega bases, they dupe endless grenades and cooking pots, so if you try to build your own bases anywhere, they can usually bust in in minutes. Had a 6 wall deep base and we just watched this guys dismantle it effortlessly. Beyond demoralizing, especially when they have all the supposedly rare high tier gear they could ever want , and we have SKS rifles. Sucks. No incentive for them not to exploit and cheat. Only the players that try to play the right way get punished. And all that’s happened is most of my player group doesn’t even want I play anymore. Most have uninstalled. We can’t be the only ones. It’s truly awful for the health of this player base; and The Devs are just like, “check out the FAQ.”

That would be cool! I don’t think it’s update to BI though, and I don’t think DayZ is big enough to make to happen unfortunately

Hopefully never. This would be terrible. Console players would get utterly stepped on by Mouse and Keyboard players. Not to mention the potential for hacking.

I posted video here not too long ago of one of the mega bases they put up in less than a day. It was bigger than some of the small towns. Just truly absurd. The loot economy is so screwed as a result.

I was mainly hoping for some more specific insight into if the current duping problems are being addressed or will be addressed soon, especailly since there was nothing about it in the 1.12 patch notes. I understand it's a FAQ, but it has no bearing on the current issue, and comes off as a generic response, because it offers zero insight into any progress or potential for a fix in a future update. It has nothing to do with how I "feel", this is how the response was presented. I understand that in your role you are just forwarding info and relaying stuff from The Dev team to us, but regardless, in this case, the duping is truly damaging the long term player base and viability of this game on consoles. It's a huge problem. A lot of players would just like to know if there is any headway being made into solving it. There was nothing in the patch notes for 1.12, so it's pretty logical to assume there is no fix. We can only do so much to inform The Dev team about these issues; it's not on us to make sure these problems are fixed, particularly when they cause massive issues within the game's stability and overall economy.

Linking to an FAQ from over 3 years ago? Really? Since duping is still a rampant problem, I’m going to take that as a “No.” Seriously, it’s beyond awful on console. It’s been reported on the feedback tracker, and here, countless times. The latest exploit on Xbox is all over YouTube and Twitter. The loot economy is beyond screwed, people build extravagant mega bases in hours, which screws up performance, and the official servers end up barren because people get tired of cheaters destroying the integrity of the game and looting becomes pointless because a handful of people destroy the CLE with duped stashes. That response very much like sounds like, “just tell them we can’t ever fix this issue, and we are tired of hearing about it, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯”

Any ETA for fixes for the rampant duping exploits on consoles?

Just fix duping on consoles, for the love of god.

Never

I feel like this should go for guns too. Sucks that people can just carry an army of guns on them.

Given the few console games, especially on Sony platforms, that allow substantial modding, I really doubt this is going to happen. I don’t think BI has any control over this, and I really doubt it’s in a position to “strike a deal” with either of these behemoth companies.

Cool. Has absolutely nothing to do with the problem. In my experience, every community server on Xbox is usually: 1. So poorly overloaded with high tier military loot and extra player slots, that it runs like utter shit 2. Empty 90% of the time 3. Plagued by admin abuse 4. Wipes every 2 days, which defeats the entire purpose of the game. Unless consoles can actually get meaningful modding and not just changes to day/night cycle and loot frequency, community servers are basically Call of DayZ right now.

This isn’t a bad update, it’s definitely interesting, but I really hope there is some under the hood fixes for duping, because otherwise it’s all entirely pointless. The massive mega base that people are duping on the official server I play on is just getting bigger and bigger by the day. It’s truly absurd. It’s becoming a small city.

Someone built this in less than a day. Tons of these all over the official server my group plays on. On Xbox. No sound in the video, since I had to cut out some conversation, but gives you a good idea of what dupers are doing. No wonder performance takes a dive. Who knows how many high tier guns they have stashed in there, but the whole thing is pretty ridiculous. @ImpulZ

Yeah, completely unable to move. Sometimes pressing starting and initiating the Logout helps, sometimes it doesn't.
