No, same here, got as far as dusk with a full moon on the sky but no night. Only been on for a couple of hours though so not conclusive. Haven't experienced any rain for ages either (now I just know I'm gonna regret saying that)

Lol, likewise! I do a lot of stalking. Been stalking four guys today at komarovo with a car. I was going to approach them and ask for a lift, but bottled it and just followed them for a while instead. Found another car tent. Never found one then find two in twenty four hours. Couldn't really carry it as I'm just using improvised backpack so set it up and left it in some woods. I'll see if it's still there next time I'm passing! Anyway, my GT is conart70 so if you see me in server, don't shoot, I'm friendly!

Currently NL8157 purely because I found someones base on the roof of an office and being hanging out on that server ever since.

Not from death, just unconscious state.

I mostly find mosin ammo and PU scopes in hunting camps. Also prefer the hunting clothes, which I believe have just as many slots now. Actually just remembered, hunting trousers have slightly fewer slots, but still decent. I love the autumnal camo, blends in much better than bdu.

They do actually mention this in the changelog

I imagine they will tweak tools at some point in the same way they have with item weight/size, etc. First, get it all working then tweak. Things do wear out a bit too quickly at the moment, but you don't want tools to last forever either, otherwise there would never be a need to venture out of the first in search of new tools. It's just a case of getting the balance right.

I'm curious how easy you want the game to be? I don't know if you've ever played Ark, for instance, but grinding for materials is, well, a grind. Maybe if they bring out creative mode for dayz you might be into that? I don't know if there are plans for those sort of tools on private servers. As I stated earlier, I would find that quite boring. For me, the fun of the game has two strands, looking for loot and encounters with players in whatever form that takes. If you don't want to look for loot then it's probably not your sort of game. Yesterday, I found my first tent, ever. It was a car tent. I jumped for joy until I realised I had no space to carry it and in my hands would take to long to get where I was going. So, with a heavy heart, I left it. That's the game.

Doh. Why, I oughta...

Well, each to their own. Personally, I get no satisfaction from cheating. I spent a few sessions looking for burlap to make a ghillie suit. Not only did it give me a purpose, it was also incredibly rewarding when finished. It also lead to an interesting encounter up north with a guy and he gave me some burlap. I think he was just glad that was all I wanted. If I'd duplicated it...zero satisfaction. I also used to, in fact occasionally still do, play minecraft. I find the same there too. Love survival mode, hate creative mode. Also had a similar experience on Ark. I was flying a pteranadon and the game crashed. When I reloaded, I fell to my death. I was so frustrated at losing a lot of hard work I used an admin command to get my stuff back. The game never felt the same again afterwards and I had to wipe and start over again. I'd had the character for nearly a year. DayZ is meant to be hard. I get that the bugs can cause some frustration, despite the username, I do have a sense of perspective. But, if the game was too easy, or exploitable, I simply wouldn't play it. What would be the point?

If you read the changelog it does actually tell you this.

You can also use duct tape to repair silencers. Just check them every time you've been using it to make sure it's not badly damaged. I've been using the same silencer for quite some time now. Duct tape is one of my essential accessories as it fixes pretty much anything. Just like in real life!

Sliding down ladders had been in from the first day it was released on console. It was removed/stopped working after one of the patches. It was initiated by clicking left stick down whilst on a ladder. Only the sound remains currently and I'm sure it will be added back in at some point but I imagine they have more pressing issues to deal with at the moment.

Hopefully nobody will answer this post. If it is possible, the less it is broadcast the better.

I hope weapons do become harder to find. I think it's too easy at the moment to get geared up within a couple of hours of spawning. I'd like survival to be more of a struggle and be required to rely on more basic melee weapons and pistols, with military grade gear being much harder to come by.

Was there an actual character wipe this morning? At work till tomorrow night so can't get on.

That would certainly make sense.

They did say in the changelog it would take quite a few bandages potentially. How many did it take in your case?

I was on yesterday and found various mosin, rifles, pistols, etc, but haven't been on a mil base for a couple of days and haven't been on today since the update.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what exactly does it mean by ghost icon and what are geo lods?

Lol, same shit, different day!

Cool puzzle, this should keep some of us busy for a while.

You should probably learn how to string an articulate sentence together before accusing someone else of being simple minded.

I think the devs were pretty transparent about the fact that December and January would be quiet for console. Especially with 1.0 prep for pc. A month between updates isn't really a hardship. Hell, some games get maybe two or three updates on their lifetime!

Maybe you could learn something from the PC community that have been involved in the game for a few years before making all is console players look like dumb spoilt idiots. You ain't doing us any favours so unless you can contribute something constructive you should probably stfu.whatever that means ;)
