    Xbox Update 18/09/2018

    I've just got up for my night shift; havent been able to play as of yet after todays update... SO Has anyone got any relevant feedback to it any of the said path notes all work correctly? Instead of people having hissy fits and salt over the resets, IT WAS ALWAYS GOING TO HAPPEN. (Although, If people get locked in the DB again - thes3 resets CAN't become a regular 'easy fix' to free up characters as the majority of players AREN'T DB Locked!)

    Best servers for UK players

    This was already answered in the troubleshooting section... Use NL/RU they are the EU servers; NL works best for me.

    New items in game?

    Stones have been around since release, Although, Aswell myself I've only come across 2 lol Don't think any new content is out yet, Just been stability and bug fixes. I think they will hit us with something new soon enough.

    Exit during firefights and server hopping needs fixing.

    Its frustrating, i know. But they know about it, they literally replied less than hour ago in that thread^^
  5. Went for a cheeky loot run up north to replace my glitched M4A1, Hit Kamesnk base as it was along the route I was taking, things were going well. Didn't really see anyone bar a 'semi-geared' player in Severograd; let him pass by as snuck through the woods. Things were going pretty well, I could see the wall and fenceline next to the tower, It looked clear; no movement etc so I made an approach...Clip 1 https://xboxdvr.com/gamer/powell-x91/video/60556251 Clip 2 - They were here! https://xboxdvr.com/gamer/powell-x91/video/60556467 https://xboxdvr.com/gamer/powell-x91/video/60556525 Clip 4 - Things got ugly! https://xboxdvr.com/gamer/powell-x91/video/60556574 Clip 5 - Full On Trapped! https://xboxdvr.com/gamer/powell-x91/video/60556608 Pretty intense 20 minutes or so, You could say I got saved by the bell lol

    Context button

    Try tapping RT. Usually works as I know it is the button for changing between certain actions like 'Craft Armbands' to 'Make Rags' when looking at raincoats etc

    An Unofficial DayZ Discord Community.

    I'm considering making a discord server for all to join; You will be able enter it as a lone survivor, clan, group or community of any sort and it is solely for the purpose of having active servers of players in 'GAME CHAT' who arent primarily aiming to run around & KOS but to have some sort of longer term goals or for those who wish to play as groups/clans/RP groups but would be interested in having other groups or players doing their own thing; though, they can interact and play alongside them to further better the experience. This isn't to eradicate KOS or even because KOS exists as people will still be able to KOS who use this this discord, it WON'T get you kicked. I've been thinking of this since release really, As some others have no doubt considered and some groups/clans/communities will already have one set up. You can still have your own personal way of communicating throughout your own group that is of your own preference but you WILL need 1 or 2 members minimum to be active in the discord server. As game chat doesnt work when in party chat at the point of joining a server then I'm hoping this can add more players to the levels that are in game chat; whether its 40 players in one server its better than what its currently at so its worth a go. Without private servers etc obviously things are trickier to do and randoms can join ANY server we chose to play on BUT for the time being; that doesnt really matter, in the grand scheme of things. It's ideally for groups to connect and provide some platform for an extra level of immersion into the game and also will provide players opportunities to meet other players and/or join groups. As and when more content drops, Whether in game items, persistence, vehicles or private/custom servers this will only make it better and have more reasons to be in a discord/get into servers with other players in game chat; who arent aiming to run around like its PUBG/COD for every minute of the game BUT as I said until we can have designated servers for anyone who may want the rule NO KOS etc etc etc we will just have to do and make be with whats available. Won't be everyone's cup of tea and for myself, I'd just like to eventually be able to play on a server that has active groups and players on the map that I can play alongside, whether with or against, over a long period of time. If this shouldn't of been posted, delete it or if it needs to be moved, Do so, But PLEASE don't move to recruitment as people wont necessarily check there for a post like this..Thanks!

    An Unofficial DayZ Discord Community.

    I joined that, ty. But its not entirely what I was trying to create or ask if people would be interested in. I was thinking more along the lines of a seperate community discord to bring all groups/players who are involved in that onto the same server. As a kind of collective of groups and players that can go into 'said' server and then thats where they would play. Kind of make it into a community on thst server where people know who's who to some extent with active groups, not necessarily as in RP I dont really bother with that but just a where we can consolidate onto designated servers and play. Whether certain groups end up with alliances or vice versa but people can play there and know that there are active players and groups in game chat.

    Friendly Fire Servers

    They never actually said otherwise in the first place. The drop rates are and always have been made to be that way...Like i said in about 10,000 posts about it on release. People were crying over it when it was always made to be that way. Like when people wanted a real time 24 hour cycle?! Like how da fuk would that really be challenging/or any reason to have at all? As no normal averae gamer plays on a real time cycle for 24 hours...So it was clearly made to be exaggerated and put pressure on the player.

    Lockpicks taste good.

    So, Pretty much I ate a lockpick. All shit jokes aside; Basically the animation for locking/unlocking doors is to take a few bites of the lockpick. Nice, Who needs tac bac?! (No biggy, Just change it at some point.)
  11. Just wondered if there was any difference in any of the PC versions for how long it takes for food & hydration to decrease and turn yellow/red? Then if so, Which is the same as xbox or they are all the same, xbox included?
  12. I need an update lol are you still stuck? If you've forgotten the server I will come and try unlock the door somehow or just put you out of your misery, if worse comes to worst.

    QoL updates/ideas.

    Number 1 needs to happen. Think its been mentioned somewhere, Sure I seen it about. Number 2 is how its meant to be...Potentially you aren't using the function correctly if its not working for you. As said by @Bombarding for example; mag in hand, Press B on ammo then when it kicks you from the inventory screen - Hold RT to perform action, Being Rounds to Mag or Opening Can of food etc 3 and 4 are what they are and they are good answers above. More HUD takes away less of the 'Hardcore' aspect. Surprised we even have meters for food etc constantly on screen as its just a pop up text on one of the PC builds or used to be?

    Sound levels / Footsteps

    The sliders is a top shout. 100%. Footsteps inside are relatively loud ish tbf, Idk exactly what it is but its just directional sound doesnt seem to work aswell in my headset on this compared to other games. You nailed it really, When having sound loud enough to effectively hear footsteps then shots etc are crazy loud. Theres no balance between all sounds to merge well together at the right level. Then the DC happens and its like someones got a motor to your head lol The sliders though, top shout. Would be a nice implementation.

    Lockpicks taste good.

    Hahahaha bro I literally only realised yesterday when I used one in first person lol I thought I had food equipped by accident or something then was like oh, its a bug haha
  16. Powell x91

    Sound levels / Footsteps

    Right, 1st things first. I agree, Sack the clown who put a fucking tornado in the title menu! Lol Secondly, yes, footsteps are wayyy too quiet. No need to go into detail as you already have but yes, make them a little louder as their aint no way someone is tip-toeing up to me wearing 60-70 pounds of kit but you can hear them eat beans 3 blocks away lol It could do with some tweaking for sure lol

    Loadouts

    Aren't really many threads that aren't related to bugs or game issues in some way so this can at least bring a bit of positive talk about whats in the game. I know we are slightly limited to what weapons and equipment we can find but after a fair bit of looting and 2 character resets from being fully kitted (1x death, 1x lost to the bug) I've settled for a fairly, lowkey, camouflaged stealthy loadout(Bar my big fat shining clown mask). Weapons AK - PSO-1/East Suppressor M4A1 - ACOG/Improvised Suppressor 4-Five - Pistol Suppressor Upper Body Green M65 Jacket - Inside 2 cooking pots; Each filled with full magazines. x3 for AK in one, x3 for my M4 in the other. Camo UK Assault Vest - Its loaded with all of my 'quick slotted' items; Such as Compass, Combat Knife, Canteens, Lockpick & Bandages. Plus my 4-five some boxes of .45, & matches. Lower Body Gorka Military Trousers - Inside a small protective case; Filled with x2 SVD Magazines & a walkie-talkie personal radio. Backpack Camo Assault Backpack - Its just got my spare 4-Five mag & stocked with tactical bacon at the moment & I can put my M4 in there when needed. I recently changed from the Alice backpack; I found I wasnt needing all the space since the update. Still plenty of space spare as there's a couple of items I'm looking for. Got some tan jungle boots and a tan cowboy hat to keep the head warm and the feet dry. Debating changing to a ballistic vest and going back to the alice backpack but without the pouches out on xbox yet, I'm yet to fully decide. What have people gone for or what have you come across?

    Loadouts

    I've held a couple people up, When solo in game chat anyone suspicious or acting iffy, I'm taking their weapons lol hard though, our game chat doesnt work when swithing from the xbox party/group chat so you have be in game/proxy chat before entering a server. Not too bad but its obviously causing issues so communication isnt possible alot of the time. The rope wasnt working functioning when I tried it out with pals, the burlap sack does though but some times glitched and didnt regain vision when it was took off (dont know if thats fixed) not seen handcuffs, been inna fair few police stations and not seen any so maybe we havent got them yet. I think the zombie damage is more precise against the player than gunfire; seems bullets destroy/ruin everything even after a 1 tap. Sewing kits dont seem to work either but not sure if I'm actually using them right; I'm able to combine with clothing or gear but the condition doesnt increase. Couldnt even be for that? Idk. But yes, zombies damage and do effect to upper body gear mainly and yes it is a slow wear down. Havent had gear go below worn unless shot at. It doesnt seem to effect the gear contained inside though but obviously it should. Yes, You're right in ways. Majority of players looking for that quick gear loot/spawn in loadout/high grade milly kit. Myself and a lot of others do want the crafting elements more though, things like rods, bows and tents etc we can't craft yet. Plus all the elemental factors, diet repercussions, illnesses etc will make for a solid game. So yeah, really can't wait for that. Bit of a robin hood, rob from the rich, give to the poor lol menacing from the woods haha It seems most of the fun happens when you have spawn over and make a new venture inland. At the moment I'm pretty kitted, recently thinned out a bit but in full camo, suppressed AKM & M4. People would assume Id kill them straight off probably by looks but its not the case, i'm just staying alive. But yes, I know the inevitable day will come and I'll be back on the beach dehydrating lol 1st and 3rd, i agree. Both hsve valid arguments. Play on whichever suits although we have no locked FPP servers yet. Yeah, you're all pretty clued up though and it would be good to play cross compatible. I know the likes of Fortnite do it (shame on me mentioning that hahah) but its possible to do one day once more stable servers are on both sides. People moan aboout K&M on console, it was hounded on PUBG forums. Myself I dont mind, it doesnt really give a great advantage and every player its good at what he uses.

    This is the reason for the bacon bug

    Straight off the bone raw lol was one of my first plays; I'd gotten into a group 4 and we were heading further inland for one of the first times...We got a bit lost in the woods, One thing led to another and well, I didn't want to let him go to waste. Thought I was done for with some crazy disease but 15-20 minutes later the icon popped off and I stopped spewing. Not sure I overate or got ill lol

    Loadouts

    I didnt realise or consider it was to put off players from shooting each other. If more people knew of that then its a relatively good way of stopping people or at least to put thought in their mind. It works well on PC? Like the area based hits, I'm not sure on xbox its 100%. 1 or 2 shots can totally ruin everything.

    Win model 70

    Pretty sure there's no winchester yet and couldnt say on the hunting scope but havent come across one yet myself or any one ive played with or seen in game. Not sure there is a list specifically for xbox yet. PC have development boards and what they get, we will get eventually.

    This is the reason for the bacon bug

    The water idea does or doesnt work on PC? I was under the impression we can boil water in the cooking pot to steralise it maybe? As they can contain water and go on fires? Havent cooked any food as on xbox we dont really get effected from eating it raw lol but worm are overrated.
  23. Powell x91

    This is the reason for the bacon bug

    Right, this has turned funny and gave me some good laughs. The dev/mod and even experienced PC players are telling yous clear as day the crack with it. Whether its in game or not, I'm under the assumption the bacon as called tac bac and being a military loot item its obviously rations. Which being in the military I ate and prepared them. They just come 'cooked' and you heat them up, mainly boil in the bags. Hence the cooking pot and gas burner etc As they've told you, the assumes its raw by the fact its not 'cooked' in game. Its still not 'Raw' and can be eaten out the tin cold, like beans. Its basically all i survive off (obviously eat what i come across but my bag could feed a small army) and I havent gotten sick off of eating 'Raw' food. I assume @ImpulZ was saying you was sick from other means and then when you ate bacon, you spewed or was 'full' or 'overate'. The only time I've been sick on this game is from eating a full human near enough, eating too much and drinking from a random swamp. Still all was gone relatively quickly and didnt harm me.

    Staying Entertained

    Nice find on the morphine. Havent come across it yet. Take it you found it in a med centre or hospital etc?
  25. Powell x91

    "Wait....don't shoot..that's a...."

    Exactly, so if we force players to wear 'so and so' gear to play as 'so and so' class then everybody knows whos who and wheres the fun in that lol Yeah, we have alot of KOS and with game chat messed up most just shoot to be safe anyway lol I just want to keep the freedom of choice in the game, thats all.
