I'm curious how long it takes for this issue because it happened to me the other day and tried for around ten mins to get back into the server with no luck. Had to change server on the end.

I can confirm, I did it twice by accident. I won't say how but I've reported it.

Ah, didn't realise you were on play station. I'm on xbox. I'm playing on high pop official servers, as you'd be hard pushed to find a low pop at the moment. I was greatly surprised by how much things improved with 1.04. Performance in big cities is so much better now. I've only driven a car once since the update and it genuinely was a smooth ride (till I wrapped it round a tree!). Maybe it is PlayStation specific as it is a lot newer to the game and maybe has its own quirks. It would be interesting to hear from someone who plays both @bent.toe? All I can suggest is stick it out. I think the game is on the best place it's ever been, certainly as far as console is concerned.

A couple of PC only items there, but a great list none the less

Hmm, I just drove an olga across the map last night. Started on cherno and not a stutter all the way to vmc and beyond. The night vision scope is working OK and the pso seems OK. I think it's just the red dot sights at the moment. I don't think items are disappearing. I had this issue but if you hide/unhide the back pack or whichever item, they reappear. They're still there, it just seems to get bugged but this seems to fix it. I haven't had this happen to me yet so couldn't comment. But so far the infected seem to work pretty well. In what sense? They work in your hand but seems they haven't assigned a button for helmet toggling yet. Tbh, I'm amazed at this update. They've added some great stuff and, more importantly, seem to have drastically improved frame rate on cities. I think you are perhaps over reacting and I'd like to know why you think the things you've mentioned are game breaking? Dayz is probably in the best place it's ever been right now, certainly on console. But if a broken red dot sight and a couple of derpy zombies make it unplayable then I don't think this is a game you're going to stick with long term.

Yeah, I think if something like like was to spawn on police stations they would be fine ad long as it was a rare chance.

Yes, I imagine that could be quite irksome. I can only imagine, or hope, that they will be adding tools for admins over time. Otherwise, what's the point right?

I got sick once from a punch from an infected. I took a tetra and that shifted it after one tablet. I've disinfected rags ever since and not had any more infection. Also threw up after drinking from a well when I got the full stomach icon but it never seems to cause me any problem if I drink till I'm full from my cooking pot.

Only had a crash to dash board once so far. Had the issue with reconnection to server after it reset though. Quite annoying. Spent quite a while making my way across the map to meet someone and the server restarted. Couldn't get back on so we eventually had to swap server and of course the dayz God's spawned us at opposite ends of the map again!

Ok, that sounds promising. When they first came out, there were some people saying that characters were getting wiped whenever the server reset

Are private servers still wiping everything on reset or is that fixed now?

Ah gotcha. Tbh, infected seem a little easier to deal with since the update. I've taken an infected out with one hit to the back of the head with an axe. Not sure if that was luck or whether axes are more effective now.

How do you mean?

I'm not sucking up to anyone. I like the night. I would personally dislike the night if there was no need for torches, nvgs, etc. I'm not disputing that the moon doesn't give any illumination in the game. I dare say there are as many people who like the night as dislike it. But now everyone has the option thanks to private servers. It's also worth noting that the whole point of forums is to discuss these things. I'm sure there are plenty of private servers with short nights. I stand by my statement though. The devs will never please everyone all of the time. You can see in this thread that some like the night as it is and some don't. Personally, the nighttime changes the whole dynamic of the game and would be a little boring without it. I'd like to see day last a little longer and especially dawn and dusk. As for understanding your point, yes, I always understood that you want a lighter night. I think it's fine as it is, but that's just my opinion and this is just discussion. But if you want to call it arguing for arguments sake then I'm fine with that. It's all irrelevant at the end of the day, just pedantic semantics.

Err, more tea vicar?

I generally find them in castles. Can also find the scopes on castles too, as well as hunting camps.

Thinking about it, the night scope I have now I found at staroye tents. Found an AKM in the tent next to it too. Still hunting a mag for it.

Yes he replied straight away and said they were looking into it.

I could easily imagine Tisy being the place for those. I think that's the only place I ever used to find the night scope.

I didn't say it was like before. I just said it's easily done without changing server. I did it twice by accident. I've reported it. It's early days. Hopefully it won't get as bad as before but time will tell.

I won't discuss how it's done, but you don't need to change server to dupe.

I just think different people have different experiences and it isn't just down to the server. I would like to clear something up. I play in first person view 99% of the time with my HUD disabled. I like the immersion. I find looting and combat easier in fpp. I don't 3pp peek. So, why play in 3pp servers? Sometimes when I'm jogging from A to B, I like to look at my character. Simple as that. I don't like 3pp shooters, never have. I don't like RDR or GTA. All the joking and ribbing aside (at least, I assume it was) I don't see an issue choosing which server to play on. It's not a big deal is it? It doesn't hurt anyone does it? Nobody is cheating are they? Just try and enjoy the game in whatever way suits you.

No, I meant clear sky or cloud and rain. I assume they are all the same, but I recall difference way back though I may be mistaken.

The noise changes subtly but you also watch it change color in your inventory.

You are correct on both points. So far, I have only been in a night time server when the sky has been clear and I can see enough to make our where a road is without a torch. I remember way back when we had the forty day flood and night it was a lot darker. Can anyone comment on the effects of weather at night and light levels?
