You by any chance using a 50 dollar turtle beach earforce recon 50x headset? If we don't have the same headset, have you tried speaking as a new character? i may hop on a private server later and see if it has to do with characters that were alive before the hotfix.

Does game chat work for your friends? I have the same issue it seems, maybe the hotfix broke our characters or game chat entirely is broken.

Just wondering if anyone on console has seen rain since the hotfix?

@awalsh47 I love vigilante's videos, the art of war one is great. Sucks the 1st person servers still don't get the love they deserve, i mean they do but the community is so small it doesn't take much to see the fpp servers dip in population.

Loot respawns depending on if any players are nearby, and every item has a different spawn timer and max amount. Resets close the doors ( some doors stay open) I don't think resets affect loot anymore.

1. stay warm, being cold makes your hunger go down faster. 2. Don't sprint everywhere you will starve faster 3. Go inland theres more food 4. Hunt

I saw some dude saying he got killed by & killed a bear on Chernarus on Xbox, I've also been finding fruits on xbox. I guess the files from the pc don't always translate over to consoles? I've yet to see a bear though.

I got mag dumped by a scorpion then shot at by a knife (bugged colt) and didn't take any damage, among countless of other bugs all within the span of 20 minuites.... so dayz as usual. The game is just to broken to warrant investing more money, i paid 20 dollars for this mess of a game and i intend to keep it that way.

You could try pressing pause on the DayZ app widget, go to manage games & apps, then go down to "saved data" and clear. This will remove your character though.

How does everyone feel about the spawns? I find you get the same spawns to often, and every town has maybe 2 spawns, it gets old quick. Players killing themselves to get too their dead bodys loot or get to their coastal base/stash to gear up quickly. It takes away the value of your character, and also makes more people come to the coast for PvP because they have a chance to get their gear back or get quick revenge, aswell as they might have a stash they can spawn minuites away from everytime they die. There should be a system that doesn't allow someone who dies in electro to respawn back or even 5 km near for atleast 20 minuites.

@DayzDayzFanboy i don't think the spawns have changed but im pretty sure certain spawns happen more often, & there isn't much variety in spawns either. My main concern is people meta gaming the spawn system to get back to where they were just killed, and start a death match. I just feel like dying isn't as big of a deal when your on the coast or something lol i know it's a bit nit-picky but it plays a roll into the value of your character which i feel isn't as high as it should be.. In my eyes a better spawn set-up with the system i mentioned would add as much value to your character as soft skills would, maybe im wrong.

I know xbox has been alot better in regards to performance & rendering since 1.04, i think its a ps4 issue still from what I've gathered unfortunately, not sure why, BI has had more time working with the xbox so maybe they figured out some stuff. I would be surprised if they don't fix it by 1.05 for you guys.. Assuming your even on ps4 lol, in that case im on the XboxOneX but I've heard the og Xbox runs significantly better aswell, not quite sure about the rendering though.

Ya im pretty sure you can sprint/jog up them lol, was a funny time when my squad figured this out. Would also personally like to see steep hills not be so easy to run up, currently almost any surface that isn't 90 degrees straight your able to run up without any impact to your speed or anything.

You can try going a route less taken, less popular towns.. the loot spawns back pretty fast aswell. You should enjoy the moments of scarcity though, just work with what you can, if everything was handed to you right away it wouldn't be DayZ. The most interesting moments are when you don't have full control of the situation or have a wrench thrown into your plans, it gives you goals & objectives that you care about. I don't know how looted you have ever been, but most people who over value loot will get bored once they have all they want (sorta like real life) the game at that point doesn't offer any goals or challenges that are more important then your previous goals, so you get bored. The bumps and turns kind of make it interesting, I guess what im trying to say is it's about the journey not the destination.

I thought the same thing but there were times with no fog and it felt like the view distance & fidelity in distant objects were better then before. (im on the XboxOneX)

Ya i hopped on some private servers the day of 1.04 and the fps and desync was unbearable when there were more then 60 players, though i may have been in the wrong timezone as theres no way to check, even then i never have had desync that bad. Official servers run amazingly well.

Night is very playable, grab a light source and continue, it's part of the game. I've had some great times & encounters at night so far. I will say it's abit long for the type of gameplay it offers (especially if you hold out) but definitely can be interesting, not to mention the lighting is amazing.

Ya i agree for the most part, lots of small inventory bugs... but the performance.. my god it runs so well (im on the OneX) just being able to see my buddy run infront of me & seeing the animation without any desync and the smooth frames was great, even when your around alot of people with light sources or in a gunfight it's ran great for me. I can't explain how happy i am to finally enjoy this game fully, though there are some annoying bugs still, it's a big step forward. Im just happy to see this game can actually run well on console.

Could be a bug or maybe you have something on you that's contaminated. Try using dis-infectant on yourself, just a thought.

I personally play with the talk button mapped to x on the xbox controller, i play claw though. If you really wanted to you could map it to rb. This of course makes some un-intended changes but nothing you can't get used to.

Everytime you switch to a different server it will do that. It's not a bug, it serves as a anti loot hopping system as well as an anti base hopping system, it might also discourage combat loggers. Just stick to the same server & you will never worry about it.

It takes 3 to 7 days.

@Acids House I think the purpose is more to make sure you have a way to report someone who's being a verbally abusive lol, i don't think Sony is over there caring about people who dupe in DayZ.

If you guys haven't played "Inside" yet it's free right now with the monthly games with gold. Highly recommend it, short game but executed perfectly. It's a side scroller, puzzle game with a gritty immersive environment & intriguing mystery. This game made me appreciate side scrollers on a whole other level, i don't think anyone can go wrong with trying it out.

Google? Lol jk, it's like a 2d perspective where you can only move left and right.
