    10gb update

    Unfortunately, I wouldn't expect anything that isn't explicitly stated as being resolved in the patch notes to be fixed.

    Please Help!

    Zalic already realized this and offered an apology, no need to pursue further on this point.

    Tents xbox

    I found a large tent at a heli crash site, but no luck finding medium tents in the wild. However, I did come across a base that had a couple of medium tents cleverly (glitchingly) pitched into the high ground such that the back half was glitched into the ground and I couldn't interact with it and break it down. Try hunting for them in a persistence off server for better luck probably.

    Hunting

    All we need now is a generator-powered skeet/ clay pigeon thrower.

    Is Livonia worth buying

    Putting feelings of developer condemnation or support aside, my 2-cents is that if you find the game fun as-is, then by all means go for it and get the map. If the bugs frustrate you to the point that they take away from the experience too much, then stay away from it and wait for a later build. I personally have enjoyed Livonia. While many of the public servers I have tried seem to be heavy on PVP in the new-spawn areas, I have been having a good time exploring in a FPP server. I especially appreciate the detail provided in the Livonia forests as they just seem to have more varied vegetation/ terrain to me.

    First Person Servers

    I personally prefer 1st person only servers. However, I can see that 3rd person can have its place in that you can see your own character in whole and admire all the goodies you've horded in your travels, and do so while moving in the environment you are in rather than just via an image in your inventory screen (and be able to answer for yourself the age old question: does this field backpack make me look fat from behind?), it also gives you a bit better perspective for your surroundings as opposed to the tunnel vision you get in 1st person mode (I personally disagree with the commentator in the video above on this point, but reasonable minds differ). However, as awalsh47 pointed out, it can be abused via corner/ wall peaking which is unfortunate. As the video points out, it is an age-old debate that has been made ad nauseam 🙂

    All servers are down???

    Down for a fix per the development Twitter.

    Everyone on here is so toxic.

    This for sure. If you are able to hold someone up then they've got less of a chance to be anything but friendly. While being the one to talk will put you at a disadvantage in the wider scheme of things, hopefully you will have flanked the other person first which would buy you that split second to counter that disadvantage if they don't seem like they want to play ball (but it is a risk either way). However, even if it ends in bloodshed, I have always found this sort of interaction to still have been more satisfying than any camp 'n snipe scenario.

    General direction and bitter thoughts

    I tend to agree with the statements above and with Lex's double-edged sword analogy. Perhaps one option for you might to just be patient and stick with the game long enough to see perhaps (as a console player I am unsure what is out there) what private server admins controls over game mechanics are available to customize a server for the play style that you are more looking for. PC modded servers may help as well.

    25 Queue to join?

    Also experiencing this. Super frustrating, especially after loosing connection or experiencing a server reset shortly after actually getting in. I stopped bothering to try to log into the FPP server I was on as I have no chance of getting in unless it is super early in the morning it seems.

    Ran to Tisy and died

    I second the good tips provided here. While I sympathize that it is frustrating that there is a general lack of variety of potential loot at military bases, unfortunately, that is the way things are right now on public servers. As Kaj suggested, you shouldn't have any trouble getting a FNX or SG5 with associated accessories and ammo in these areas (also, grenades seem to be really plentiful, at least for me). However, if you really want high-end military rifles, you'll have better luck questing for stashes and bases in the wild (though I have had some luck finding some in woods surrounding big military zones/ pvp areas). You might win the lottery like I did and find a rifle at a heli crash site, but don't count on it. Regardless, running straight to one of the big western bases is setting yourself up for death, disappointment, or likely both.

    How many hours you guys got on xbox?

    All good, was trying to be funny as well. The truth is I have an unhealthy habit of trying to find isolated cashes. May be off topic but I do appreciate the subtle variations in terrain in the game to make crossing distances more enjoyable

    How many hours you guys got on xbox?

    I play only on one server and do LOTS of hiking. Who needs cars anyway when there’s so much to see lol :) happily boots and shoes are so common there’s no need to waste resources repairing them.

    How many hours you guys got on xbox?

    The true question is not how many hours you have clocked, but how many pairs of shoes you have worn out 🙂

    Ghost Shots

    I had this happen in a particular spot on one server that I was on, it would sound with no particular pattern which also freaked me out at first (in an area of the treeline next to the field just on the northwest edge of the Pavlovo base). Even stranger, when I skipped over to the opposite side of the field, I kept hearing a repetitious "axe-chop" sound as if someone was chopping away at a tree. I think we are all just going crazy.

    When you think you've hit the jackpot

    I agree, that's where I found the one I had.

    When you think you've hit the jackpot

    Bummer as I came upon a mag the other day, but ended up dropping it to make room for other stuff. If I find another I'll get in touch and see if I can hand it off to you. Gotta preserve all the legit non-duped SVD owners we can.

    When you think you've hit the jackpot

    Nice find. Public server? I found my first crashsite last week. However, the only thing there was a plate carrier pouch (and a few misc. military jackets/ pants), which wasn't a total wash as I happened to find a zombie a little bit later that spawned in wearing a plate carrier vest.

    Character wiped??

    Yep this happened to me tonight. Loaded in with a notice of delayed login and warp as if I changed servers, but this was the only one I play on. Loaded in as a different character with different gear. Funny thing was another guy loaded in at the same time right next to each other. After a brief stare down we hit our mics on and shared a WTF moment, and then traveled for a spell before I logged off. Was frustrating loosing all my gear and loading with what must have been someone else’s, but sharing the experience with another victim at least made it funny.

    Infinite duct tape glitch...

    Does anyone remember the Canadian TV show The Red Green show? This topic makes me wonder if i should see if I can build out a red flannel costume, hat, and grow out a beard in the game to honor the all-repairing duct tape in this game, I mean, it fixes everything! 😂

    Spawn keeps resetting

    I still wanna know if peeps are getting sent to Narnia after the last update.

    Spawn keeps resetting

    Punishment for duping all the Turkish delight.
  23. Skofield_Kid

    Duping still exists.

    I would reinstall and start playing again if this was implemented.

    1.04 coming to consoles expected in July!

    I'm concerned about this as well. In addition, it will be interesting to see how server disconnects will mesh with this as to whether quickly rejoining would result in getting sent to a spawn point. While a single disconnect probably wouldn't, it might be tougher to say for crashes experienced in quicker frequency. Also, will this encourage fast travel via cycling through these spawn points by server hopping? We will likely have to wait for our intrepid player-play-testers on this forum to find out how it will actually work.

    If I were CEO of BI

    I suppose, worst case scenario being it never really gets fixed, perhaps the large number dupers will eventually get bored and move on to other things, leaving a much smaller amount of duping over the available servers at some point so it won't be as big an issue. But if that is the case, hopefully the rest of the player base won't have moved on by that point as well.
