As far as i know the certification process takes about 5 days to 14 depending on how many games are going through the certification process, so maybe this friday at best(if they submitted monday). I noticed last update for xbox (1.02) came a little sooner then anticipated, allowing BI to cover their backs incase they ended up not delivering, or surprise the community with an early update. It's a win win, that's just a conspiracy though.

The devs talked about this in a livestream, apparently making people locked to servers would make it to hard for friends to meetup, among other small reasons that are somehow more important then the game breaking bugs locked servers would fix. 1.04 is somewhat fixing server hopping, hopefully duping aswell, so maybe locked servers wont be needed soon, i doubt that though.

@bent.toe So shit went batshit sideways, day 9 it was constant automatic fire, about 2 hours in got killed in a confusing nightime shootout, lost all my shit, got it back thanks to a freshie i befriended during my stay at electro, he single handedly kill 5 dupers who all had fals & m4s but one, we eventually drove that car together me my close buddy gog, and this freshie friend i met in electro (All of us never even seen a functional vehicle out of all our play time.) Good times, ended up crashing twice first time gog crashed because he plays racing games and got cocky. 2nd time my freshie buddy crashed during a lagspike. Ended up having 2 find a new radiator both times. Crazy adventure 2 bad i didnt make it out of electro with my character that survived 8 days. oh ya and im a full blown duper now. lol.. Duping is like selling your soul, once you do it.. Ain't no goin back! All of your dayz desires, anything you could ever want bent.toe.. Joooiiinn mee, join us bentoe. Shhh its ok there will be a patch from the dayz gods above sometime, Its all gonna be alright. Seriously though even though im now duping i hope they fix this trash, im just gonna hook some freshies up, experiment a little, have fun. It's the way she fuckin goes.

True they didn't say that exactly, but it sounded like they basically implied it. Its at 45 minuites in. After rewatching though i think they ment something else, they also say "next update" its not clear to me if thats 1.03 or 04 they're talking about.

Ya i think so, honestly i feel you but with duping in the game right now and NVGs in 1.03 it makes sence, they're also trying to get the pc and consoles to have synchronized updates, aswell as talking about fps fixes in certian areas/towns and when alot of people are around so im assuming we might be seeing a real good update 1.04. The ps4 release should've waited though imo.

@bent.toe they said ps4 pros getting 4k support and if you run it in 1080p it is "buttery smooth" lol. however that was the marketing guy who said that, could be a mistake lol.

That would be nice, i dont recall that part but do remember them mentioning how potential duping fixes will be implemented into 1.04. Ive always wanted locked servers so hopefully that's the route they take.

Just the idea of seeing a helicopter is dope, but ya it would probably fly like a rock. About to get my 1st vehicle running after surviving in electro for 8 days, decided to see how long i could survive in electro, saw a car 1st day, told myself i could only leave if i got the car running. Lol wish me luck

The only thing dayz has going for it is.. Well almost everything, theres no game like it, but that doesn't constitute a AAA price point. If there wasn't game breaking bugs i wouldn't mind, at that point the devs deserve it, and i would be happy to support the game as the idea is original and good. I think we need to reward companies that take risks and get a little creative just to satisfy its customers and fill a nieche or unexplored territory in gaming. Unlike most companies that make triple AAA titles that are nothing more then a recycled idea made for the purpose of cashing out. Dayz devs seem to have good intentions but i have to say a AAA price point doesn't look good when the game is in the state that its in. Regardless i play everyday, thank god i paid 30$ for my copy when it first came out. I feel bad for you guys paying 70$ because to most of you it wont be worth it, and might leave you disappointed, but good fixes hopefully will come soon, and the 70$ price point will be irrelevant imo.

I got the vibe from the stream that we were going to skip 1.03 on console and get 1.04 sooner then we expect. Im just going to guess with a little optimism and say at the end of june or beginning of july we'd see 1.04 on console if my vibe is right. Definitely on pc around then, just guessing based off the last few patches.

So you think since you've experienced everything, that everyone else should be limited to this broken gameplay loop because you happen to like it? It's funny because you literally could do this without dupers but somehow exclusively getting weapons that are duped is a better gameplay loop then the normal loop which offers the same thing but more. Regardless everyone and their unborn daughters know duping is broken, and takes away more then it gives. I applaud you for enjoying the current state of the loot economy, but you trying to get a reaction out of people with a passive aggressive headline and responses is just wack & is the only reason i responded to this idiodic topic.

Then again theres no point of going inland, as most players and loot are now on the coast. But people definitely dont play smart on the coast especially in 3pp, the coast is a place people go when they can't take the boredom so they just go to the most populated area an try to unleash their suppressed love for Call of duty.

Been surviving in electro for 8 days about 5 hours a day, 20+ interactions, 4 or so kills. High pop, 1pp like always. Haven't died yet, plenty of risk, tbh i could throw myself at people on the coast and i wouldn't die. Im curious are you on third person servers? Usually people on the coast in third person are even worse from my experience, aswell as theres more dupers. Also haven't found an m4 or ak since 1.0 or duper bases, why would dupers even bother building a base? The whole base thing is trash imo, not sure all the best loot should be hidden & dupped in bases or probley more common, in holes or barrels nobody will find.

The deadzone is and has always been to high for the anolog sticks on Dayz Xbox. No game I've seen has had a deadzone this high, Im always over correcting and not confident in my ability to shoot well. Im suspicious theres other things involved (besides input lag) that make it harder to aim, as an example its hard to consistently maintain a speed while aiming, it feels like if i push my right analog stick down a wanted amount its impossible to keep it steady because its picking up miniscule movement and translating to big movement. I just thought, it's like the max input threshold is to low and deadzone to high, leading to a confined area of sensitivity that makes for jumpy aim. Im crazy for my sensitivity as i bet most are, so having a deadzone threshold slider would be great... Even increasing the max input threshold to the proper value of the analog stick would do wonders.

I'd imagine the people who work on the cars aren't the same people who work on the bugs, regardless adding more stuff just means more bugs and the ratio between adding things & fixing seems unhealthy to say the least. I suppose they might be waiting to truly fix the bugs once they finish with the content, but this game should of had the content their adding later, already in 1.0 and they should have focused on making the game bug free from there.

I agree, longer days would be great, im always switching servers trying to avoid night. I personally would like to see night length shortened, and i get why someone would like to have hour long nights aswell but in my opinion night in its current state limits you to much for it to be an hour. Forcing the player to either post up for a boring hour (nobody wants that) or risk moving through the night (which nobody in real life would risk) just isn't good for authentic or good gameplay imo, especially when everyone can leave to a daytime server. I just feel like nights drag on to long, but maybe thats because i sit in one spot for a whole hour, that's my strategy why do anything else? traveling at night just feels like a risk thats unrealistic to take. I would love being in a situation where I'm forced to move through the night, whether it be to find food or whatever but surviving is easy right now, and even if it wasn't, the majority would just server hop if put into that circumstance. Night being 30 mins would feel like less of a chore or annoyance because you have more options of how you want or need to spend the night, also server hopping and easy survival makes the night kind of pointless. Like if i was surviving and i had water and food for days why would i ever risk moving through the night. I know the hour long nights is supposed to be authentic but in my opinion it being that long does the opposite and makes it awkward. (apologies for the rant im typing on controller)

Atleast you would have somewhat of a conclusion as 2 what happened, but i get what your saying lol.

If you want to check your packet loss (test your internet) or change resolution just look up how to do it for xbox, you don't need to be tech savvy at all. Hopefully u got your situation figured out though. Cheers

Ya I've been playing, don't know how you have with a bug like that.. I haven't ever had that problem or heard of it. Maybe you're playing on the wrong servers. Might as well try out some of my earlier suggestions, maybe even reinstall, i know other people with ogs and X's who dont have this problem.

@liquidcactus Wow the sound of the blood filling his mouth as hes choking on it, that's great.

Near death experiences are documented by reputable people and reported frequently by people who flatline and die then come back, doesn't mean it's a spiritual expeirence, although i dont hold animosity towards the idea or people who might think it is... Very well could be hallucinations. Oh and if my head got shot off it would be ALOT floaty, yours only tiny floaty tho, don't ask why. Realistically though floating after dying in a gun fight might give an advantage to your friends obviously, but i never said anything about floating after getting shot, i said floating only for slow deaths (dehydration, ext.)

Lagging out? Im guessing you mean your games crashing, regardless i remember someone fixing possibly that issue by hard reseting there xbox (hold power button for 10 sec then leave off for 30). As an addition to that switching your console to run at 720p may give you a few frames, aswell as disabling recording entirely. Also make sure you are on your servers (wd/ny is east coast, sj is west and i forget if theres more). I play on the one x, mostly got it to play this game at a better fps, its not great especially in cities, Its better though & usually manageable. Right now im surviving in electro for as long as i can,(5 days, over 8 interactions, 2 of which i killed) and the lag hasn't been that bad. I've been thinking and saying the same thing though, i wish they would focus more on bugs & performance. I think we are getting an update every month to 2 months at this point.

I remember the first time i bled out, i floated out of my character and ended up looking down upon him laying on the ground as my screen faded to black and the sound of nature played in the back. It kind of blew my mind, Reminded me of the movie "Enter the void". Wish Dayz would do that everytime you died from blood loss & starvation, ext (slow death). Does the floating thing not happen anymore aswell? that would be disapointing. However if you get shot i totally see why the visuals should cut out instantly once you die, i agree with the audio staying a few seconds longer. How dope would it be if there was a gunshot wound death animation based on where you get shot, for example you get shot in the body and instead of dying right away, you have that final moment to yourself as you franticly fall over & groan in agony till you fade out into the void.

You make some good points, but apparently BI was going to add more survival elements in 1.02 or 1.03, aswell as potential changes to the loot economy food, regardless they didn't but thats one of their goals for future updates (enhanced survival features) as far as i know, and from how they were talking about it, it seems to be their priority when it comes to features. However that might not be the case anymore as they've delayed it for whatever reason. Regardless i dont think that part of the game will be ignored.

Ya, we both made it clear that we wanted to trust eachother from the beginning but it was hard due to past experiences & the current situation. Definitely a Dayz moment that i wont forget. I love how your voice can be such a powerful tool, what other game gives players the option to negotiate with death? Its a real life skill too, i cant think of any games that use skills directly from the real world.
