TheYetiBum

Come on guys someone's gonna get a forum ban from an admin over a misunderstanding if these flame wars in post keep continuing. Let's just accept that there's no right wrong way to play the game, especially at the moment with the game being alpha preview testing stage. All your opinions have validity and your all connected through a passion to play this game. But this is a thread for the current update not for winding each other up, I've seen all your comments previously and you all have solid points and opinions between you. Hate to see arguments between decent posters

https://forums.dayz.com/forum/155-report-a-bug Use above link for bug reports dude, but the dev teams aware of this issue anyway so a fix will be in the works or on the list. Welcome to the forum and good spot on the ammo my dude, keep on reporting those bugs & the game will be all the better for it .

Pretty sure it'd be a programming nightmare. Plus the fact that the xbox party system actually runs through Skype since Microsoft bought it a year back and that BI would have to probably pay an extortionate fee in order to let there system over lap with the party system. You can hear players in VoIP when In a party because it plays through the standard game sound and creating a pathway for a party to access VoIP beings up all sorts of T&C Conflicts from microsofts side aswell privacy issues for other users in the party. It's just an all round cluster f#ck of permissions and coding. Until the new next gen console comes out with a standard controller with a hard bound button for insta swapping chat clients it'll remain this way I suspect. Let's be honest the fact that the xbox one and X didn't have this functionality from day one is due to Microsoft being about ten years behind knowing what gamers require to play games without having abrain anuerism lol.

Devs have already stated that there won't be crossover from party to in game chat. You'll always have to switch from one to the other (when it works , which it always has for me) . I'd suggest not using the xbox party system and remaining in prox chat , using walkie talkies for long range comms. It'll increase your player interactions with randoms. I know not everyone's into RP kinda gameplay but it is a hardcore survival game and tbh it's really fun and less stressful when you come up against another unknown player and can actually communicate instantly your intentions. I've been playing since day one and only had one occasion where after comming to a random I still got mowed down , most people turn on mike or respond through emotes & start asking a million questions on game mechanics and how stuff works lmao. Spent a hour on the coast teaching new player freshies how to do the basics , most solos KOS out of fear & the time it takes to switch to game chat to say 'I'm friendly' will get you killed . But it's just my opinion

Oh trust I know what you mean dude, you guys & gals pull 7 day weeks and 14+ hour shifts when necessary to get things done. I'm no game dev but I know it's not a career path for the weak of heart or passionless. I'm sure the BI team has spent many nights away for friends and family trying to get a project finished & I for one appreciate it. Thanks

Hey and if you guys are EU players checkout NL855 (last three numbers of server), I play there always through resets no matter the player count & have a lot of friendly survivors who do the same. It'd be cool to see some new friendly faces or even a decent bandit who has a mike and a want for some RP. Just join grab a walkie talkie switch to last frequency and call out for The Yeti Bum, if I'm on I'll come find you & show you that human kindness still exists in Chernarus ;) . And ImpulZ once that controller update drops that you mentioned yesterday I for one will be a happy little survivor, keep up the good works. Dev teams wizards as far as I'm concerned

Fight fight fight lol it's all kicking of in here, I'm selling popcorn if anyone's interested because this is entertainment ;) . Come on guys were all here because we love DayZ to some extent, it's easy to let the games current limited mechanics aggravate or dishearten you. Just remember that map knowledge is key in DayZ a groups camping the coast run inland straight after spawn, tbh there's no loot on the coast except fishing boats occasionally if they've not been hit. At the end of the day it's a game (in my opinion a great one) if you wanna ghost and get behind a player to kill a player or team because there pinning In freshies or jump to a different server that your prerogative. Most of the people teaming up for these KOS bambi killing squads are kids & they make up the majority of console users. Even with more content this will continue to occur so it's best to get that thick skin going now. Anyways love ya guys & remember you'd probably all get on IRL , this post was not meant to offend or aggravate just unify

1 frame per ten seconds sounds way off , that is essentially your screen freezing for tens seconds at a time. That's not frame drops that a total lack of frames, I've suffered frame drops but never lower than 15fps and tbh it's more like frame stuttering. You can see higher resolution textures pop in when you aim down sight into larger towns and this seems to tank performance abit. But to be fair if the game ran higher resolution textures on buildings , objects etc within a certain proximity from you whilst you weren't directly facing them from the get go the performance would most likely be worse. Still runs exceptionally well to say it's a month out the door though so respect to the dev team for that. And compared to 0.62 it runs like a dream

Well done my dude, I'm the same. But to be honest I'm a little loot goblin so I'm up for player interaction all the time because if I die I get to loot up again lol

I understand your frustrations as the game is very involving and attachment forming but development is tough and decisions on updates are made frequently and fast. Even if people were given 24hrs notice on forums and social media there would still be a backlash as 50% or more wouldn't see the notice. Plus of they warn people they'll stop playing till after the reset as they'll feel it's pointless and then tonnes of potential data and bug reporting used for development would be lost. It's a double edged sword where your damned if you do & if you don't. But as I said I fully understand your concerns, just feel proud that your championing and supporting a game through development and that your involvement in some way is helping grow as shape said product.

Best bet is to report this as a bug on the bug reporting site so the dev team know it's an issue in game. You can actually change the bug report to a feedback in the options when reporting. The more people who report the more likely it'll change. Plus my assumption is that the sound stage will be rebalanced at somepoint down the road.

Just make sure to report that bug so devs can replicate and iron it out my dude, links here Incase you haven't done so already https://forums.dayz.com/forum/155-report-a-bug/. Devs do look through forums but it far easier for them to collate data, feedback and bug reports on this separate site as they can update specific devs on specific projects directly from that system & see how pravalent an issue is by amount of people reporting it. nice to see people getting into the spirit of game testing as that's what previews and alphas build are for & good work on letting the community know about the bug. kudos

You can also craft a standard fire in the woods, make sure to micromanage logs in as it'll burn out in less than a minute without. And then use a long stuck from chopping down a bush and combine with meat. Then you'll receive the option to sit at fire and cook meat, it'll visually change when it's cooked. Hope that helps , also if you combine a stick and bark from a tree (look at tree whilst holding a knife of any kind) it'll create a fire starting kit so matchs and flares aren't needed for for fire starting. Oh and the small rocks can only be used to craft a improvised stone knife ATM which is actually the best knife in terms of carry weight. Just combine two stones and voila , very helpful if your afresh spawn and for find a bladed weapon for opening cans fast. Stones spawn on most forest trails . Hope this helps

As far as I know there's currently no upgraded fireplace in this build. Also no loot able or builds me tripod. But you can craft a fireplace and take to hands and then place in a houses oven fire. The. If you go into vicinity inventory you can micromanage a cooking lot into the cooking pot slot and cook that way. Just fill with water and fill with meat, mushrooms, apples etc and cook for a 1min 30secs ;)

It was definitely a bug or momentary server side issue. Your stamina bar has to be below about 30% to stop sprinting and jumping. Technically you can wear a ballistic vest and still sprint but you'd have to drop everything other than a gun and a spare mag & have very lightweight clothes and no bag etc. Console inventory doesn't account for slot usage and the damage item system for layering items in bags doesn't exist on console not PC anymore so posts/replies claiming you were to heavy at over 50% stamina are 100% wrong . Sorry guys. Just remember that currently the stamina bars onscreen contrast are totally off, so if you've used melee , jumped a few times or completed any task that uses an animation like eating, opening can , etc that also uses stamina. So if you do have a smaller stamina bar and do any of the above tasks then Try and run instantly your bar will still be refilling. Hope this helps and makes sense

@ImpulZ Thankyou for the clarification on the next controller update, I assumed you guys would be all over it. I fully understand the no auto RUN feature for DayZ because of the Stamina bar system, but will the dev team consider an auto walk function? I only ask for a friend who sufferers from Carpal Tunnel syndrome or people with disabilities, as prolonged pushing forward on a thumbstick can cause huge amounts of pain for such people. My friend basically cannot play the game ATM and could'nt play PUBG either till auto forward facing movement was added. no intention of being preachy , it's your game, your choice & I respect that. Just thinking of your profit margin ;-)

Bit of frame drop for me in large cities but I've found if you take the time to look into city for a minute before entering and let everything render in it's okay. I'm assuming the games using a system whereby it estimates what to load in by location and direction faced , and scopes take a second as it won't load hi res texture on building far away in town until your zoomed in to save your xbox exploding lol. Just report and it'll get looked at.

Think the poster was referring to the quick switch shortcut . If you tap xbox button and scroll down so party is highlighted contextual controls appear next to the party. Just says push back (double overlapping square key to left of xbox button) to switch between party and chat. Removes several button pushes which is crucial for not getting shot in the face by being stationary to long ingame. Cuts out needing to scroll left to party then into party options etc. Hope this helps

@ImpulZ Hey dude, any word on hold breathe button and freelook button? I know you guys are busy af at the moment but figured it can't hurt to ask.

Plus I hate to burst you bubble but I have an elite controller and I can change fire mode, but it can take awhile or instantly.

Yep couldn't agree more, I'm purifyng water and cooking meat and mushrooms in a pot etc just to get used to that aspect once it arrives. Also favouring water proof clothing or carrying a water proof alternate jacket & trying to stay dry in general through storms. Taking clothes of Infront of fire to dry them. I've heard the next update on PC for experimental is full disease and weather effects update so trying to prepare for that

Yep basically not fully implemented yet, they've changed a lot from the MOD & 0.62 so there probably still working on balancing on internal builds before rolling it out. Nice to see someone experimenting though. I tried a morphine auto injector after being shot and it nothing , knew it removed broken legs before without the use of a splint but figured I'd test for any changes.

Yeh I'd seen a dev mention that ingame time doesn't reset when server does but I've stayed in a server through resets for about 14hrs when the game came out and saw no change in lighting other than weather effects so think he may have been misinformed as no one on the forums has seen night on console yet. But hopefully the timer will return as a lot of people are getting perma locked in databases when kicked from server still, guessing they'll be looking into it as a priority

Yep it's annoying but I've taken too writing down the time of resets and server name so I can work it out myself. But Tbh some don't seem to be evey two hours exactly which is strange. I'd like to see the resets extended so we have a chance of seeing night time without ingame time being reset on server reset.

Yep it'll be sometime before we see any major content update me thinks. Half the buttons aren't bound yet & the dev teams still working through issues that have been logged on PC for months. Patience is the name of the game when it comes to DayZ. but yeah I believe planes will also be reintroduced aswell as choppers and an assortment of ground vehicles. But remember this is Dayz hardcore survival, you may find a car if your lucky but then you gotta find all the parts to fix said car before you can use it which would usually mean running to an industrial zone or several and carrying heavy parts back to vehicle only to find it's being camped by someone waiting for you to fix it and steal from you after wasting you or someone's already fixed it a driven away lol. But that's what makes Dayz so fun. But yeah you can run from the coast upto numerous mil bases in 30mins so it's not exactly a grind right now
