Is this on Official or Community servers & definitely on Xbox right? I Still havent found any ammo or a repeater & im on Official Xbox Servers. Ive literally looted ever town on the map since the update.

Find a knife (or craft a knife from two stones, found on trails,train tracks, etc) find an animal, chickens spawn in civilian areas on the coast, kill said animal & chop it up with the knife Craft a fire and cook the meat you have gathered on a long stick Voila you have extended your life Once you get more accustomed to the game mechanics dealing with food wont be as much of an issue, remembers goats & cheap can be dealt with easily with only a hatchet, sledge hammer, etc. And cooking pots connected to a stove top & gas canister in your inventory is always a good idea for cooking food fast on the go leaving less of a footprint for other survivors to find. If you need help with crafting fires or any crafted item or simply want more in depth info on all game items then go here https://dayz.gamepedia.com/DayZ_Standalone_Wiki Good luck & enjoy the learning experience, a lot of DayZ players will make out that they knew all this stuff from day one of playing but there is a lot to learn so don't be discouraged, take your time, dont worry about losing gear or dieing until you've mastered the basics.

Anyone found any new Items yet? the new items should have cycled through by now, especially as the repeater & .357 ammo are civilian spawns. I haven't found any rubber slugs for the shotty either. Anyone else had better luck?

Ive been playing in a group all afternoon and into the night & we had even worse de-sync on the official Livonia servers than in 1.05. the servers were maxed out though & it is the first day of release but had to log every 30 mins in order to remove mags or get the actual item you think is in your hand, in your hand for other players. Enjoying the new map but the de-syncy bugs are quite Frustrating as queue times can be 20 mins or more after a re-log in order to even open a tin of food

I thought it would be the same on PC & Console servers also. But I have had multiple reports & seen first hand that more than 10 AKS74U's spawn on Console private servers, directly after a full wipe & with no chance of Duplication exploits. Not sure if the CLE is bugged on certain servers though or if there running different server settings, impossible to tell without direct access to the server settings. Obviously public servers are different as people can carry weapons in from different public servers etc. If bohemia could clarify if there are any differences itd be very helpful as hopefully there isnt

I hear you dude, it's a flaw with Microsoft's profile system. You can buy one copy of DayZ and basically make infinite accounts to play that one copy as long as they are signed as family members to the primary account without any additional fees. At least on steam a person would have to buy another copy of the game, in order to run an Alt account on a server. So Xbox is full of players with multiple accounts ready to go across multiple servers.

Private servers are not worth the money right now dude, hopefully after 1.06 there's a clear improvement for private server owners. But tbh from day one of there release they've been full of De-sync issues. I love DayZ but I'd strongly recommend putting in a support ticket on the bug reporter & then stopping your payments for private servers. That goes for everyone. Money talks, if everyone reported there issues & stopped payments it'd get fixed real fast I'm sure. I subscribe to all the bug reports & I barely see any server owners making reports for these issues even though I know all servers suffer from them. I feel your pain dude but private servers have alway been ten fold worse performance wise for me atleast

Yep, thinks servers are ready for a full wipe. So many stashes, empty bases, semi destroyed walls & empty crates laying around. The server stability's gone out the window in the last few weeks, stuttering, even worse De-Sync than usual & team mates look like there running at 10fps on a 40 population official server. Really wish they would do monthly Server wipes for official servers, there saddening to play on after that point with bad performance, or at least create a system whereby empty stash crates & base walls deteriorate over time and de-spawn without up keep to increase performance & increase the longevity or stability & performance.

Hi Id like to ask the community & @Greensek for there feedback on a few things I've noticed about the health & immunity systems of DayZ, in the hope I can get some clarity on whether certain items are bugged or are meant to have functions that have never been directly explained in FAQ's about said systems. Should alcohol tincture & disinfectant spray clean dirty water making it safe to drink as well as clean items that may have come into contact with cholera? (as it currently does purify water just as well as Chlorine tablets) Should Multi-Vitamins cure all diseases as well as bolster immunity against diseases? (as currently they act exactly the same as Tetra antibiotics and will cure Cholera) These are the two things I have noticed which seem to stand out as potentially unintentional, I understand the rest of the depth of the health system & have read all the Articles directly released by DayZ, etc. But have never seen these items having descriptions allowing them to do these actions. Just a curious gamer out here trying to science

Greensek has already spoken guys, it's been deemed an exploit & the team is looking Into it. They have already stated in the known issue section that base building will be worked on & balanced further to address how quickly a base can be raided. Just remember no matter how much gear fear you have, using an intended exploit to protect a stash is not & never will be fair play. It takes less than an hour as a fresh spawn to collect a mosin with PU & an Sks or shotgun, etc & most times already have a plate carrier if you know the map. Hoarding without a chance of raiding is unnecessary, if you want a secure hoard try placing barrels in trees bases or burying stashes. I am yet to ever have a single barrel found & have had the spoils of war stashed for months at a time (I never stash more than 1 assault rifle & I actually use it on my characters next death, in order to maintain some semblance of a healthy CLE For all players).

Yep as Stagman says above, its usually as the players wearing eye wear as well as the goggle, e.g glasses or tactical goggles. I have also made this mistake myself before to my own amusement.

The article is on the main DayZ forum page under the announcement section & also on the official DayZ twitter. Hope this helps

I personally can't wait, take my money already! hope it comes with full public server wipe for xbox also. Servers are getting incredible desyncy & I'm sure new players would love the chance to see an assault rifle before there all stashed away and cap out the max spawn limit again. Good work by the team though

Xbox private servers have minimal server controls, you can wipe a server completely or ban specific gamer tags but that is all. No access to mod tools. Admin tools or whitelisting etc. So there's no ability to remove bases or stashes etc or disable stashing as there's no access to server files running on the server at all only basic server logs.

Weird that there asking for items in return for not banning, but tbf if they have a no stash policy in there server discord & rules were broken then a ban is adequate. If xbox server owners had better server file control they could disable stashing or increase the CLE max spawn for AR's and heli weapons to combat no loot scenarios. But unfortunately xbox private servers are pretty much just vanilla servers with worse performance.

Certainly will be dude, Love Chernarus but some new terrain & a slightly tougher survival experience is most definitely welcome.

No confirmed date or price yet DayZ tweeted out an hour ago that it will drop with no announcement & it'll be soon. So make of that what you will. Ive added a link to the tweet 🔗 Official DayZ Twitter Announcement🔗

I love DayZ even with all the flaws/bugs etc, it would be fine by me if they added exp xbox servers but unfortunately the certification process is lengthy & stringent for console. I think with the latest updates being smoother all around lately & lots of old game mechanics returning it would be possible to time cross platform releases of beta test builds & beneficial. Console often has specific UI bugs & desync issues that PC doesn't suffer from & enabling better feedback before console updates would be beneficial. Who knows, maybe in the future exp console servers will be added. I hope so, gimme that damn Livonia map already.

I personally think that server owners wont be able to run both without getting another server or will be given the option to switch over to new map you'd have to buy the dlc to play on the server. Who knows though, maybe as a server owner you'll be given the DLC as part of server rental.

Yep it has a stat of 0.26 shock reduction, but it may not be 100% correct as its community driven. Its still always worth checking the Wiki as it has some great testers & is frequently updated. here's the link Plate Carrier Info . Would be handy if any PC DayZ gamers/modders could shed some additional light also though as they have access to the game files.

I understand the thread starters frustrations, but most MMO Survival games have more frequent server wipes than DayZ & most of those don't have a Central loot economy but instead rely on weapons crafting systems. With a game like DayZ, if you don't wipe occasionally then the amount of stashes, barrels & wooden crates on the server filled with unused high tiers weapons start to block them from spawning anymore & cause server instability . Until some kind of system is put in place to deteriorate & eventually delete unused stashes/bases, the only way to keep servers & CLE running smoothly is to wipe. Also when updates come out with new items & game mechanics, if they don't wipe it can cause bugs for the server & character databases as server settings need to be changed. As i said though, i fully understand how people would want a fully persistent world.

Was it an official or community server? I've found that the community servers have crazy bad de-sync effecting weapons & magazines. Your weapon may have been fine but if the server though you had no mag in the weapon or had no ammo in the mag then this kind of f*ckery can occur. I've unfortunately had a lot of situations where I can see a mag in my equipped AR but my team mates see no clip & hear no shots when I fire. Could be totally unrelated to your incident though but though this info may help

They don't spawn at all the spawns on every server, also I know before 1.05 people were exploiting a glitch in order to move them. Saw planks literally miles away in woods next to bases Dupers were building. Haven't seen that so far since the update though.

Don't drink from water bottles & canteens Until emptied & refilled at a well. You can only empty them by looking down but there is a bug ATM where you can only do this at ground level, so if your in a house or second floor etc the option won't appear. First thing you should do on spawning is find a well & preferably a bottle & fill you stomach with water till the full stomach symbol appears. That way you can sprint for hours without the need for hydration. Running water in a stream is NOT clean in DayZ and hasn't been for well over a year. Also mushrooms & fruit can spawn rotten now & will also make you throw up. Antibiotics & chlorine tabs are your second priority after getting fully Hydrated, take time to learn all wells, hospital, medic stations & hunting cabin (chlorine tabs). They've even increased the radius of medical spawns at all medical buildings, so now medical loot will spawn in residential buildings next to medical buildings too & vehicles. So they purposefully increased your chances of finding medicine as they Added cholera. Hope this helps

I get this too, I figured it was latency but between player and server but only a guess. Happens more for me as the server fills up. If this is how doors react imagine how slow the server is to calculating bullets.
