Skruffy

You're more than welcome to squad up with me and my friend. We are no nonsense, casual people. Dont act suspiscious we wont. I handle most of the scouting and shooting as I'm a bit more engaged than her, but she loves hunting and killing zombies and looting so yea. We are pretty friendly unless put into a hairy situation, like bobbing and weaving incoming ak shots, but we pull through. We help most new spawns but are pretty cautious around heavy kits. But we just like to have fun. We are currently in starry Yar ig you wanna meet there but I expect we will be moving tomorrow

Unfortunately this is still a known issue. It appears to be working on: M4 w/ ACOG and M68, USG45 w/ ACOG and M68 Does not work on: AKM or SVD w/ PSO-1 Mosin w/ PU scope. To fix, hold LT, roll around on your back with the right stick. And zoom in that way. Not overly effective but if sniping you should have enough time

Ehhhh partially right. From my understanding it's already in the game. I've only been in 3 servers that have rain. So let's examine this for a second. Servers reset every 90 min usually. call it 2 hours to be safe. Say the default time is anywhere between 9am-3pm. Meaning when the server loads, bam, the time is anywhere between there... we would never see night time, as the server wouldnt reach 7,8,9,10pm etc. Rain is a spontaneous occurace but randomized. I've seen it rain in game for 1 hour. 15 min, and 5 min. But that's because that's when I joined the server. I suspect just to make the transition to xbox fun and enjoyable, they set all server in game times to start at 12pm or something, regardless of server. In the future the reset time may be 1 hour prior to reset time. Meaning... If the server was booted at 12pm. It runs 4 hours. Resets. It loads at 3pm. Then goes to 7pm, resets, loads at 6pm. And so on until a full day night cycle. This means you could join at day, noon, night, early morning, whatever.

Actually that is exactly it. The VOiP is supposed to work in a party as well, meaning while in party chat, you can press down dpad and communicate. I think it is mainly an xbox thing not BI thing. But still get out your party then and use game chat like you're supposed to lololol. I'm gonna test tomorrow with my friend, and see if it works

No, they fixed VOIP which is worth the update, inventory stability and reloading of done properly. The character reset was needed but mainly to assist those who were locked in database for 24+ hours. Also, at about 2.5 weeks in, people complain and complain, but a character reset is needed so people arent running around not dying because they have full kits with svds and aks, while squading in a group of 5+ so they take out anything they see. And get used to the resets. I expect they will be resetting once a month or 2 for a while. Resetting characters is also the best way to ensure all fixes since launch are applied successfully

I updated the game and all the servers are gone except for XBOX SERVER 103/104. Is there a fix for this? Are there patch notes?

If this post were now, I'd understand, but yes, this was around the time of the wipe. Good on you for playing hero, just be careful, some bandits may capitalize on your generosity

Yessir @Mixeorite loads of lessons learned about the future. Dont be overly trusting and dont logout next to people if you can avoid it lol. But yea I'm not even fussed anymore. I read that update thread and literally laughed saying "Praise the DayZ Jeebus!" Btw, I just went up to stary yar to meet my friend, the one I was with when I met you, so were gonna head back down, we can drop you some gear if you're struggling or get killed again. We will meet you in spawn towns. Drop you an m4 with acog and some mags, food, water, etc. Lemme know.

This is an issue I reported. Seems server reset messages are not being shown right now. And check out @Powell x91 post on this thread linking to the patch notes here: Where it says "All characters will recieve a reset to fix the players locked in database" To which my first reaction was thank you. Because the same people running the same loadout for 2 weeks is a joke. I encourage these resets, but would like a before hand post before the update goes live. Not that it matters, I think it is needed and fantastic. Starting over is great.

Please read the patch notes Character wipes are a normal part of the game and actually needed. I'm glad the same people who have had SVDs for 2 weeks now need to reset. Plus with the fix to VOiP we can begin playing the game like normal. Also, the developers are doing great. They make amazing games and some of the best ever made actually Arma, Arma2 and Arma3 are fantastic games. Same with DayZ. There is a splash screen at the beginning of loading the Game Preview Known as DayZ. I've seen $60 AAA games less fun and with more bugs than DayZ. Atleast we get a patch every week. Please dont feel as of you're the only one who got reset. EVERY character got reset. Games like ARK, on official servers base wipe every week, why should this be different. Having people run around for 1+ week with the same gear isnt fun. It also shows that you should play higher pop servers, as if you were playing in hot zones, that gear could be gone in hours dude. 2 hours, and I had 10 cans of food, military gear, acog on m4 with 4 mags, Supressed and Scoped AK with 3 mags, and a Suppressed Pistol with an assault pack. Gotta know where to loot man. Hint, I went from polena, to Stary, to barracks south of NW Airfield, to Tents at top of NW Airfield, to Station in the trees at top of NW airfield, in 2 games, no server hopping, i was full kit. Playing in 2 40 pop servers btw

Well I noticed you can now no longer combine a mag into a gun that already has a mag. I avoid LT+Y unless I have to, but k did notice you must first eject the mag to load another mag. Which is I think the "fix". Because that makes sense based on the mechanics. Just goes to show, playing Full Auto isnt the best way to do it. At 2-3 bullets a kill, you could easily take 5-7 enemies before needing to reload if you had to. Odds are a group of 10 wont swamp 1 person, so i think it's fine. This is why i always set the M4 to single shot. I have no need for full auto as it always puts me in a risky situation. I prefer recoil control over sending bullets flying, but hey... besides, minus the m4 and mp5, I can tap the trigger faster in single shot mode than every gun set to full auto.

Vehicles will likely come in the next major content patch. Currently we are going through a series of stability patches. Which is perfect and most needed. Once stability has been ironed out. We will receive the first of many content patches followed by more stability patches. We are at v.63.148, which is an experimental branch I believe, .63.0 is the stable branch, so I would imagine .65.0 will probably be at or around the time of a content patch. Based on the developer timeline of trying to go 1.0 in Q1-Q2 2019, I'd imagine it may be .70 that is the big content patches, i.e tents, base building and fortifying, cars, helicopters, and night time. We may escalate version number quickly, although I really hope to see some major content. Even if the game as is right now is basically the 1.0 version minus some stuff. By 1.0 i will probably have had my fill, and play occasionally. I would like to see enough major content coming to push me past 1.0, but who knows. Live in the now and enjoy what it is now.

Oh I know. Even with crashes I love the game. I've been waiting a long time for DayZ. I'm just curious if the devs know that the latest patch has removed server restart notifications. It is rather inconvenient to spawn, run 200m, then get kicked, repeat because another server was restarting then get locked in database because I triggered the server hopping issue. Hope it gets resolved soon, I need to know as do many, when servers are resetting. It is a fairly valuable piece of the UI in game

Most definitely @Mixeorite

Update in pinned thread by @ImpulZ Mod please close

Thanks for the update. Based on this statement, does this mean all characters are back at spawn zones? If so that makes what happened to me yesterday awesome. Cant wait to test the party/In game chat.

Well, I dont honestly believe he was in for the long con. Yes we both had been searching to complete our kit for a while, but i think it was more spontaneous. @Mixeorite this was actually just about an hour after you and I met. I messaged him saying I got that PSU scope you dropped me, and so I went to drop it off. He claimed it was an accident and said I thought I had my mp5 out, which had no mag and he didnt have ammo for. But that begs the question if he was pulling the trigger on anything just for fun, why was it aimed at me in the first place. Then upon shooting me, the sign that he did rob me, was he didnt speak for like 2 min. He shot me, and I waited for an explanation. Not a word he said. So after I left he sent messages. He said he only was able to recover the SVD and mags. (Yea okay) so I said. If you're really sorry record a clip of you committing suicide with the SVD. It never happened. So yea. Like at the end of the day, that's the fastest way to make solid, hero characters go on a rampage lol. Why he did it, I have no idea. Whether it truly was an accident or intentional, guess we will never know. Just goes to show you gotta be careful. As my best friend just texted me "Greed can drive anyone in the other direction". So I guess I'm just gonna stay away from the SVD. For whatever reason it has bad juju with it. I'll be running lone wolf for a bit @Mixeorite but when I get back up to that area I'll let you know. This experience wasnt enough to become a rogue bandit, but I will get my revenge somehow lololol. Think it's time to start burying some backpacks

M4 you need to take off iron sights. M68 red dot and acog can be attached after. UMP: m68, acog Mp5: m68, acog AKM: PSO-1, unnamed red dot thing. Idk what it's called but it's a sight without a name. Had a triangle in the lens SVD: PSO-1 Mosin: PSU

Do we know what guns it works for? I've seen scorpions in full auto, m4 in single shot, aks in full auto, what about mp5 and ump? Never mind. I found the way for me to get it to work. Hold LT, literally spam left dpad, then right dpad, making sure you are going left, right, left, right etc. It will switch. Took 3 seconds. Dont really like the full auto on umps can probably fire faster if I tap the trigger in single shot. Will have to test it out with ak. But the m4 single shot is sounding like a realistic compromise to the ak. Now if only it had a real suppressor lol

Good for you man. Makes me happy to see stories like this Thank you for being a positive and helpful survivor. People that play that role can make the difference between someone uninstalling completely. A new hero, or someone going completely bandit. Thank you.

Just go prone? I've yet to successfully swap an ak to full auto.

I also play on the xbox one x. I dont have frame rate issues, I more have crashing issues, but only with inventory. Either my own when I'm trying to micromanage or when I loot another player. Player looting has about a 30% chance I crash. And self inventory crashing is about 5%. Roughly. However I did uninstall the game and reinstall, it did help, but I'm awaiting the next stability patch. I can live with it, it's in game preview. And I'm not under extreme circumstances where it matters, but now I start tracking my server numbers that I join

You have been joining and leaving servers too quickly. Please quit the game and wait 30 minutes to 1 hour. To avoid this situation in the future, please try and stay in servers for longer than 30 minutes if possible, while trying to only join 2-3 servers per hour.

No you're misunderstanding. 1. Regarding bases. When player bases are in the game. If a door is locked you can unlock with a lockpick. If they add storage boxes, or something you can also unlock. This is for future. 2. If your statement is true. About bum rushing people, people seriously are not understanding how to play lol. The people I play against, they would wait outside for an opening or try to surround. Yes they bum rush at a point but it's not heavily. Locking a door takes 2 seconds. If you close a door and have a lockpick in hoybar, you can lock before they reach the door. If they open the door immediately and rush you, that's their death. I'd capitalize on that. I'm not sure what to tell you other than mess around. I utilize lockpicks all the time. Either locking a bandit in a house and watching from outside, shooting through the window, locking a door behind me when I'm being attacked, locking a door safely just incase someone spawns, or isnt seen initially. Or just locking my friend in a cell for the laughs. They are rare, valuable and useful. At least how I use them. Locking doors is a seriously useful feature. As well as unlocking. But I guess it's how you play. I play carefully. If was in barracks, and we had to eat food and drink. You better believe I am locking door first. If someone is shooting me. Odds are I will be more than 3 seconds ahead of them. So I run inside, lock door. And try and peek. If it becomes a massive issue, say 10 people corner me and my friend in a house, I'd either take them out if i can or just jump servers. It's not worth the fight
