So i am on xbox one x and the performance isn't that great, i cant imagine OG xboxs. A performance mode is possible to implement, wrong?

Ya i was playing with a squad of 4 we ended up getting in an epic fight in Novy with another squad. Unfortunately the server crashed but it didnt do anything everyone had to force exit out, 3 of us lost our characters me being one. Shortly after killed a fully looted dude with the only bullet i had. This guy decided to unload on some zombies then come reload next to me in the middle of the night, crept up and saw his purple bag, shot him in the head. Felt so good, sks, Fx 45 extra mags, mp5, he had an armband so i ran into a nearby forest and hid, paranoid, i thought i was hearing footsteps of his friends looking for me, Probley just smoked 2 much... I waited till sunrise behind a tree then moved out back to my camp. Another day another adventure I was moving my tent to a better location when i lost my sks because of a server restart so that was unfortunate. Honestly love the controls you guys are crazy, only thing is the rolling when laying down. Fps is still not great, i think duping or base building degrades server performance because a server i played on exclusively gradually got worse in terms of fps, unless it was my stashed loot? Also weather desync is annoying. Also your game will freeze if lag spike occurs while your speaking in game. Definitely needs work, definitely not finished. kind of disappointing like i wanna drop days into this game but its hard to play with the FPS (although improved) + the bugs. im still going to play in hopes that a fixed version of dayz is a patch or 2 away. Still a good attempt on the devs behalf.. I mean it's something better. I just wanna see FPS improvements more then anything.

Has anyone encountered problems with the sound of other players footsteps, they seem terribly quite. it's to the point where people can run up next to me in the woods & i cant hear them & i have decent headphones. it would be sick if they added sounds of branches breaking as a player would run through forest area. an overhaul of other players footsteps in general would be nice, even just a minor one that increases the volume of the footsteps. Just imagine you're walking and you hear branches cracking or water splashing behind some trees. it should atleast be tuned to output different levels of volume based on what the player is doing, currently the max volume threshold of a players footsteps is really low. I think it would improve the game not only for immersion purposes but for tactical purposes aswell. i really hope this could make it for full release if even possible.

I feel like I've spawned by berizino everytime, its kind of annoying following my old footsteps. I feel like this creates an unbalanced playing field when it comes to looting "first come first serve" if you will. Hope its just my bad luck and not something that's going to take a year 2 fix.

I don't know about you guys but these server crashes and restarts are an extreme hassle and feel like the biggest problem on the xbox version of DayZ, aside from inventory issues of coarse. Actually seeing a different time of day would be greatly appreciated, along with rain and all that. I get its in Alpha but this game been out forever your telling me you can never see day & night go by... i just this server restart system this gets fixed next content update. The server crashes on the other hand hope too see fixed within the next hotfix or 2 because that just defeats the purpose of any tactical gameplay. Stalking a survivor just to have the server crash and get plopped into a bad situation upon your next server where you loose all situational awareness you gained from checking your surroundings in the last server you were in that crashed is not good for a game where one wrong step can kill you. Just would like to see everyones opinion aswell as thoughts on the server crashes and especially restarts.

You can do it if you spam fast enough, ive never been stuck in a firing mode, however its definitely not useful on the fly.

Honestly don't think the inventory problems have been fixed, i still can't fill all my inventory slots. However it dosent feel like the number of things you can carry is so random anymore... doesn't the pc version have a way of arranging your equipment within the diamiter of your bag, is that possibly why we cant fill up all slots because everything's just getting pilled up?
