Yep and I've found that if you switch from party to game chat then back to the party, the next time to try and switch back to game chat you cannot be heard in game anymore. Also sometimes even swapping to game chat the first time other players have been unable to hear me. So the systems still a bit buggy right now. I tend to stay in game chat & simply message friends where to meet me in game in a specific server as it reduces blood boiling potential lol

Tbh whether your an Xbox or PC player all your doing is funnelling your money into large faceless organisations. Whether they be American or chinese. Heck china the biggest breacher of human rights in the world is almost solely funded by it's government owned tech companies pumping out PC components faster than a fat kid eats cake. There are no moral or intellectual smart buys anymore, everyone is funding someone elses misery or slave labour somewhere else on the planet. Most people buy console because of the simplicity of the system or because of lack of funds to build a personal rig, anyone who bought an xbox thinking it would offer any kind of 'freedom' was obviously too deluded to begin with lol. But PC is no better, its just an added layer of delusion thinking that there's any freedom involved. It's just a more expensive closed system that offers more wiggle room so peoples freedom itch can be scratched but never actually fully realised, all the while giant corporations get bigger.

Gimme dat cold and wetness, heck throw in all the diseases too. as far as I'm concerned this is EZ DAYZ right now. God I'm cooking all my meat and purifying all my water & carrying a spare waterproof coat for when it rains in preparation all ready.

I've got 11 days worth of play time on xbox so far and haven't died once from lack of food or water. I'd advise googling a decent SA 0.63 map, or try reddit or one of the dayz map apps . Personally I'd rather they made food and water spawns rarer than they currently are. Pretty much every single small boat on the coastline has a tin of food or can of soft drink next to or under it and there spaced out every 50m or so & bodies of water and streams are frequent all over the map. The game has a steep learning curve, it is a hardcore survival game after all. Once the rain and cold can kill you aswell as all diseases are implemented you'll be wishing it was back to it's current build.

Quite simply put if you dont give a product or service your money then said business or product will no longer financially function. That seems to solve the issue. Don't give your money away on any product without using detailed prior research also known as common sense, then the next step is don't mistake a personal regretful decision with injustice.

Yep above poster is correct . Hold LT and tap Right D-Pad as fast as you can with AKM equipped. Keep an eye on bottom left of screen for fire mode changing.

Yep I see this a lot, I stay away from the M4 as it's completely unpredictable. I've seen team mates put half a magazine into someone, heard the shots & saw several blood splatters and the guy didn't go down. It's not just ghost rounds from people pressing LT and Y to reload, even tho that 100% bugs guns out. I've simply pressed Y to switch mag everytime I log in and switch to full auto in my AKM and haven't had a single issue of bullets not registering so far. But the hit reg on the M4 seems buggy as hell atm, the rate if fires considerably faster so maybe server tick rate just can't handle it on a full server. Also never fire from The hip as the recoil is insane, try spraying a wall at five meters in hip fire, within 4 rounds your hitting the sky even if your gun looks steady on screen. Devs are working on all issues with gunplay though and it's not just console having these issues with damage registration etc.

Currently the only three gun suppressors don't break with use, but the craftable bottle suppressors (bottle combined with tape) will break when fully implemented. The pistol and east suppressors which are in game don't deteriorate with use either but I'm pretty certain that the plan eventually is for them to degrade with use & I'm pretty certain weapons will also degrade and jam when damaged. But that isn't implemented ingame yet, also the NATO suppressor for American and Western European weapons isn't in this build yet either but will be added down the road. Hope this helps

Aww man I missed you being open , had the post followed but it didn't email me :( . I'll try again In The future as I always have a tonne of various ammo and scopes etc Incase I find a friendly fresh spawn but I'd be down for just dumping it all on you for the store

Hey I'm usually in EU server but I'll willingly donate An SVD with a mag to the shop. I'm 100% friendly but I've had several SVD's before and it's be nice to hand it off to the shop for someone who hasn't played around with one yet. I can also donate my boar skin improvised backpack if your willing to trade another backpack for it, unique craftable that'll be pretty rare. Upto you. Nice idea on the shop btw

You Can definitely use leather kit for fixing backpacks , I've done it many times . Just do as OG poster says and hold backpack in hands and combine from inventory or take bag to hands and look directly at leather kit and the prompt to repair will appear by holding RT

No news, shouldn't get a content patch for quite awhile after beta testing goes live on PC experimental. Might get more bug fixes and a controller update before then though. EU servers were looking empty already last night, could really use something to spice it up. I'll remain patient

Yep 50+ server, so my assumption is they'd got lucky after hopping a few times then Got very unlucky. I usually never KOS but seeing one after the other pop into existence less than 2meters away from me = bye bye time for these little hoppers

Nope never done it, don't see the point in playing a game to then not play the game the way it was intended to be played. Never had it done to me that I'm aware of, I always reposition frequently if in a firefight and if I see someone's gone into a building I push straight away, pull back far and keep line of sight or disengage all together. As far as I can tell there's no stopping it, best to minimise it happening to you by pushing people hard, or changing position and over watching any position you feel the enemy knew you were holding previously or giving up on the fight and retreating far.

Wow using phrases like "not on my level" , "lesser fellow" etc is pretty rude and unnecessary. Were all a bunch of guys writing on a forum talking about a game for god sake. This isn't exactly Mensa. If you cannot accept that your opinion is just that....an opinion and respect others opinions it's probably best to delete your forum account.

Yep friendlys do exist, were just a rarity. Just remember to pass it in next time you see a fresh spawn

North west airfield, best place for geared PvP or berezino in east coast if you want lower pevel PvP

I get people frustrations but there so many triggered children on the forum even though the game clearly states it's game preview. Hell I'm not even playing it until it has a content update and a controller binding update but that doesn't mean I'm gonna go online and take a dump all over a bunch of hard working devs who are doing there job on a game that is operating exactly as advertised. Game preview in development, a lot of people have the worst gratification control I've ever witnessed. Jeez the game even states it may never be finished as all game preview titles state. It's like these whiners think someone at BI came into there house and forced them to buy it at gun point lol.

Yep I love the game as always have since the mod & buying it on preview is the way to go for the discount. But in all honesty until we have some more controller functionality (hold breathe, free look etc) & some more content it's grown very tiresome very quickly. Sure there's a tonne of people who will continue to play till then and more power to them. I personally played long enough to report as many bugs as possible to help development along but with hit reg, lack of key bindings and such even the PvP feels wonky at best and other than player interaction and PvP there's nothing else to do. Not slating the game or the development team though as it exactly as advertised, a game preview game. Just needs a lot of time and TLC before I will be back in chernarus.

Yep female characters are the same for me, there incessant incredibly loud panting when out of breathe from stamina depletion is exceptionally irritating. Not to mention deafening.

As far as I know it only offers protection from blunt force trauma from melee attacks & no ballistic protection but I could be wrong. So I'm assuming it's just an aesthetic choice or maybe for camoflauge if it's a matt green or black one. The dayz wiki has full stats for items though so maybe worth checking there to see if it does offer any protection from smaller calibre rounds

Don't quote me ;) but I'm pretty sure a dev has responded to a similar post saying that extra damage taken feedback will be added down the road but as I recall no extra detail was given. My assumption is that it'd be purely visual , like blood spray on screen as damage is taken, but I agree a vibrate function would be nice too, thankfully BI would never consider directional hit indicators as that'd be very game breaking. Maybe I dreampt this dev response , I could go find and link it but that's involve work lol

I've killed three server hoppers all at Staroye tents, they all literally loaded into the tent I was currently looting and received half a mag of AKM rounds to the spine. These kids are so bad there kitted to high heaven with double AR's, hundreds of rounds, ballistic vest etc but logout with there guns holstered lol. Easy kill. Ps If you're one of these guys I killed but weren't server hopping & were just logging in, try not doing that in a military tent (tbf though no server reset message = no choice in where you log GG game)

Yep I've had a fresh spawn ask to be killed by me a few times now so they could get another spawn point. Had to hit them between twice to four times in the head to kill them with an AKM at point blank range in full ADS with a fully functioning gun. I never reload holding LT and check my mags will change everytime I load in. Hit reg seems very different from server to server & not being able to see your ping or any kind of connection data doesn't help. There should be a server strength icon in server listing and detailed ping and latency information in server listing as ingame too. Surely in this testing phase devs would find that information useful? Anybody know what tick rate these servers operate at?

Extremely difficult creating player groups until private servers are an option, with admins who can hard ban people etc. Then you can have a trusted invite system aswell as a server application system to vet people. Until then its all face value, I'd personally just accept friends of friends. And if your playing in a server with a group of more than five people split them of into smaller squads with squad leaders and assign squad leader roles to trusted members, then those leaders can report any suspicious behaviour back to whoevers in a command role. just take into account that other survivors do talk and large groups do pull a lot if attention especially in high traffic areas and the coast so not all incidents can be assigned to treachery.
