Cars may not be too far away as they've mentioned reintroducing cars in the next month or so on PC experimental servers which would mean we would see them soon too. Also base building will be more like reinforcing when it's introduced, as in boarding up windows of houses etc. But they've said they want to be at full releases version by Xmas and I'm assuming that will contain some form of vehicles and base building. Hope that helps

No hold breath button ATM I'm afraid. Frustrating i know, I'd suggest crouching as it reduces sway slightly. Also only snipe or shoot at range from first person or full ADS as all the reticules in TPP mode are misaligned

No currently but aslong as your game hasn't crashed you can find previous servers used during that play session by changing server filter to show previous servers and refresh list. I write servers down as I hop I just Incase I get a disconnect whilst I've dropped something so I can rejoin and grab it.

I like scoped mosin in bh hunter backpack with silenced UMP or 45 pistol for close range. Like to build sprint heavy characters as vest don't seem to offer a huge amount of protection from a mosin round anyway. I like to go green jumper, hunter forest camo pants and a pair of black converse for the look and low weight but once the wetness systems in full place guess I'll be rocking the raincoat and a water proof case in back pack to keep mags and stuff dry. I tend to keep mosin or large weapons stored in a backpack for visibilities sake . Other survivors tend to KOS less if you seem less of a threat & less of a walking loot crate

I'm into both , mainly bandit when with friends in a party due to the bugged ingame chat . But when I'm solo and someone has there gun on there back I'll try and talk to them and have given a few people 45. Pistols decked with silencers and hard cases with a knife, tactical bacon and a full hip flask . Fresh spawns on the coast love it, I just make sure to give them a gun and a mag & no bullets till I trust them or I'm leaving and drop ammo as I go .i try radios occasionally aswell as I've heard the odd survivor using them

Thanks for the clarification , in the future will the servers have a different reset cycle? It would be cool to see more night time but I understand that without NVG goggles or vehicles etc it would be difficult for gameplay experience balancing during testing. Just curious as to whether it's something we will see in the future.

Once 1.0 is released and modding and private hive servers exist whether console gets modding or not the Bohemia team will be able to pick at choose mod concepts and install new mechanics accordingly down the line. But I know currently on oc there gonna roll out the disease and wet mechanics , shortly followed by the retesting of the new and improved vehicle mechanic :) so in the next couple of months we will have cars and a more hardcore weather and disease/sickness dynamic . Fingers crossed

Dude it's game preview & literally been out a couple of weeks. Chill already with the hate in an official forum. If we all jumped into peoples places of work and told them they sick at there jobs then there not really gonna have the motivation to patch the game. It's the least buggy game preview I've ever played & offers something no other game can on console. I'd say they've done a pretty amazing job

Inventory works really nicely now, thanks a lot devs. I'm looking forward to diseases being implemented and vehicles shortly after. I'm assuming we will e gettin those soon after PC once they've been reintroduced and tested on PC experimental. Congratulations on this patch & fingers crossed for another one soon

You'll be to heavy. Now you can carry more stuff you'll be over encumbered. If you stamina bar in bottom left get smaller than 25-30% u can't sprint, jump it slide down ladders. So drop some stuff and you'll be all good

Best option for stating in contacts with friends ingame is using radios. If u all have radios set to same channel and turned on in inventory you can use game chat to talk, that way u can communicate with other randoms too. Just be aware that whilst using push to talk to use radio you'll be broadcasting in vicinity chat too. But really fun if you want to squad up & have the option to find and talk to other survivors .

No you can't , the chat function is bugged out ATM. Read the known Issues list posted by devs. Once in party chat you cannot switch back to game chat as communicate to people in game, the party function currently blocks that but they are working on a fix for this issue

Sweet well done dev team

heli Crash sites spawn across different a spawns over the map. Also to all those with mag glitch, drop gun on the floor and micromange out of the gun, pressing Y to inventory won't work must push and hold A and dra over to hands. If that doesn't work drag a fresh clip in to gun on floor using micromanage. These two methods fix bugged magazine everytime

Put gun on floor and micromange clip into hands or micromange a clip into gun this way if it's gun model shows aagazine but it attachments show there's no mag. Works as a fix for any gun, everytime. Hope this helps. I've had this issue atleast thirty times wit. A character I had for days and it fixed it 100% of the time for me and my buddies. Alway see if you can change mag on loading into server, render you scopes in & check you aren't getting the arrows for water consumption whilst walking as a rule as soon as you load in. That way you know if the servers decent or not. Too is don't go in 50+ servers at too of the list they get too laggy and cause all sorts of server side inventory and mechanics issues

Yep crash sites as mags for SVD spawn in military bases, especially on guests towers and occasionally I've seen two SVD mags spawn on hunting stands. Also the Mosin has an included internal five round magazine just keep tapping Y till all five rounds are loaded. Tells to how many rounds are in gun on bottom left and in brackets next to chambered bullet is mag capactiy

I've met plenty of solo players who will talk, just gotta remember Dayz is death match ATM purely due to the pack of content available ingame. It's spawn loot, run to northwest airfield gets military gear then PvP, explore or do nothing. Once vehicles and base building and more advanced crafting is available people will be encouraged to talk more for trade. The games easy mode right now, once a sickness, diseases and the need to drink clean, cooked food and water is added people won't be able to gear up as fast

Yep this is caused by lieing down with weapon drawn, the only way to truly realign character model and centre screen reticule so that you don't aim at sky or feet when you ADS is to log and rejoin. Just be sure to not have weapon out whilst prone.

I feel your pain

Also when joining a new server always walk around see if you're getting three downward arrows (bottom one red coloured) for food and/or water consumption even when not sprinting. I've noticed this occurs more frequently on full servers and is a bug. Walking should not consume water and calories that fast ingame, if you come across this log and find a fresh server. This bug will cost you a lot of food and water

The devs did release a known bugs list to look at before reporting bugs and the party chat issue was on there from day one of release. I doubt you'll be able to talk directly from party chat to people outside of the party without switching to game chat but the devs has stated that you are meant to be able to switch from party to game chat and speak ingame but currently that function is bugged out. Also Incase you were unaware xbox has added a relatively quick way to switch from party too game chat, just push centre xbox button scroll to party and press start button and it'll switch without the need to go into part options. But I'm in agreement that the ability to stay in a party chat and simple push down on d-pad to talk ingame whilst in a party would be a great addition and reduce the kill on sight mentality of players in parties who kill instantly due to being unable to even initiate contact

Yep place gun on floor then use micro manages to select mag from said gun into hands. Then ty should be good to pick up gun and reload. Always works for me, I check every gun on loading into server as this big occurs frequently. Hope that helps

Drop gun on floor and micromanage clip out of gun into hands , then pick gun up and put mag back in. Should work first time , if not keep trying. I've foud this fixes this bug 99% of the time. I'd advise checking all weapons on loading into new server by seeing if you can switch or remove mag to see if it's bugged, you don't wanna find out when shooing Zeds or players ? hope this helps.

Read the known bug issues my dude, this is a big there aware of from launch & a fix is in the works. If you want to avoid it go into party chat till you find each other. Then log off the game, leave the party, restart the game without a party open and use in game chat. Just be aware that everyone close can hear you and tbh most people kill on sight whether you can talk or not due to the game not having much more to do right now than PvP. Hope that helps

Pretty sure the throw mechanic has been previously tested & some of the items have been in previous builds of the standalone version but certain features are removed as others are tested. But all mechanics and items will return. But to answer your question directly none of those are currently in
