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.

You just read it as condescending, it wasn't my intention. Several previous patches that didn't character wipe have reverted people stored water to it's default unclean state once logging back in after an update, my friends reported the exact same issue. Also fruit and mushrooms can spawn rotten & dried now so maybe you ate some fruit without knowing to check. Also chill out & don't assume everyone's on here trying to be a d*ck, I was trying to help

You probably contracted cholera from dirty water, use antibiotics. You dehydrate really fast & throw up continuously. Canteens and water bottles have a 50% chance to spawn with cholera now. I'd advise reading the patchnotes with every update.

Yep, gets worse the more people are on the server for me

I haven't found anything new yet, but servers weren't wiped so the new AR especially won't spawn as there's so many stashes on every public server maxing out there spawn figure. The pistols should start spawning as older low tier pistols are picked up & replaced by the CLE. Or BI has has sh*t the bed, wouldn't be the first time.

Yeah I bumped into a guy at balota airfield yesterday, he ran into the Quonset but as son as he heard me, told him I was friendly & that if he needs anything g just to ask. Eventually he plugged a mike In & said he was friendly too. Unfortunately when he came out of the but he was a meat ball, told him he was & he sounded like he genuinely didn't know how he had become one & I suggested he go log as most ppl will KOS someone who looks like there exploiting. I gave him the benefit of the doubt. I rarely KOS but tbh if it's a mil zone, even far south my fingers on that trigger & my guns usually out. Had a few cheeky lil bois hiding in tents at Staroye with there tickler mp5's at the ready, they don't get spoken too, they go back to the coast real fast.

So far i'm enjoying the update. Glad to see the Duct tape exploit fixed, the bleeds are a bit on the heavy side 😂. But we've endured worse in between patches (is a bad show PR wise though, especially after they've already done the same thing to PC players but didnt think to with hold the patch till recent tweaks were made to it). the vaulting/climbing works fine. Unfortunately I think the decision to not server & character wipe will cause a lot of aggravation with some, as the new AR wont spawn and the new vehicle wont spawn till other vehicles are wrecked on servers & despawn to be replaced. one thing the game desperately needs is some basic changes to the CLE, stashes need to be removed from the loot table respawn calculations so that only weapons currently equipped to players are counted. Or the amount of AR's spawning needs drastically increasing. But all being said and done its a decent update with loads of fixes.

I'm glad the duct tape exploits been fixed, it was pretty innocuous but anything that makes the game more difficult is definitely welcome.

No lag for me, but found that there's huge latency when opening doors.

if your throwing up then you must be sick, all water bottles & canteens have a 50% chance of spawning infected with cholera. there should be a sickness icon in the bottom left that looks like a bacterial cell. in order to recover you must find tetracaline antibiotic tablets at a hospital or clinic or take charcoal tablets to suppress the vomiting. also try drinking quarter of a bottle of water at a time & only eating very small amounts at a time when sick . Vomiting has been tweaked so that far more water & food are lost every time your sick. now when you are a fresh spawn, stick to wells & cans of pop, also empty canteens & bottles of water as soon as you find them by looking at the floor with them in hand & pulling RT. then refill them at the nearest well or find chlorine tablets in order to purify dirty water. Hope this helps
