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.

So im in Electro, im looting a house when i hear a bunch of agro zombies, i go to investigate & meet a geared player whos in a stand off with a player locked in a house, the guy in the house was the only one speaking. The geared guy didn't seem to want to kill me so i kept my distance just incase. The geared player goes to church cliff to get an angle through the back windows, i start talking to this guy in the house as me and some freshspawn loot a geared body outside the front door. I let the guy inside know im looting the body, then bang he shoots through the door fucking me straight up, but i was still standing and forgave him as i understood his situation. After a few minuites watching from the house across the street, assuring him i was friendly and calling out the movement of the geared player, he ends up fully trusting me enough to let me in to give him some ammo he was low on. We trade some things, i give him ammo he needs, he gives me ammo i need, we converse about our plans then i give him my gtag.. Turns out we played in a 5 man squad together like a few months ago, we both remembered eachother. Coolest feeling ever, it felt like we knew eachother before the apocolypse, and found eachother in this uncomfortable stand off situation where we managed to trust eachother and find out we actually knew eachother... Straight out of a movie.

Lots of issues, I'd wait till things are looking better, but then again i didn't wait and i mostly exclusively play this game atm. If you can see past the at times bad frames and bugs, its worth it. I personally never liked playing games where fps wasn't smooth 60, this game i give an exception for though because as boring as not seeing someone for 20 minuites or 3 hours can be, the moments when you do see someone are worth it all. With that being said, if you really like the one life survival idea and you can manage having bad fps aswell as bugs, then i would grab it.

Anyone know if theres a way to stay zoomed through my optics after i shoot with a sniper? Currently the only way i know is chambering one bullet at a time that way you dont automatically zoom out to chamber the next bullet in your clip.

Interesting, it might only be for the tundra then, cuz i had the mosin and holding rt didn't work.

Lol i play on 4227 most the time, never knew... Ill be a little less trigger happy i suppose, only killed a few.. I play to survive but i do get excited when an armed guy is in the area.

I wish

Ya just got a hunting scope from another players barrel inside a convience store up in sinistok, pretty sure scopes spawn in there aswell. EDIT- Scorpion takes up to 2 mags too kill a guy with a plate carrier and motorcycle helmet. Just had some dude walk right into me in a pile of bushes, pulled out my gun last second, let him walk right into me then i just unloaded. He ran, i backed off reloaded my extra mag, not 30 seconds later, im laying down a few trees away from where we just fought waiting for his footsteps to get louder, see him, get the jump on him again, dumped a second mag about half or more bullets hitting, he walks up as im lighting him up and hip fire sks's me, he shot around 5 times, i go unconcious and die to zombies. Never will i ever touch that garbage gun, should of used a can of beans.

Thats sick! reminds me of an old metal gear solid game where you could beat the whole game without killing anybody (never played but overheard this as a kid & was intrigued). Definitely trying that out next time im a freshie (public xbox servers) so that will be interesting. I totally see how that playstyle could open up different lanes or more opportunities. Also playing with multiple people changed my perspective on what this game is capable of, can be so entertaining the downtime is non existent, its almost a different game, however theres pros & cons. Thanks for the idea ☮

Ya haven't found a military grade weapon since 1.01, right now rocking a silenced scorpion with 150+ bullets and a tundra no scope though.. Hunting scope getting more rare it seems aswell. Definitely disappointing not being able to get mili weapons, especially for a new player (i would imagine) who finally reaches NWAF and finds nothing but ammo and coast weapons. Lets hope they fix duping next patch

ambient sound cutting out, almost complete silence, i think it cuts off after entering a house? Doesn't come back till i relog... Is this just me or anyone else have the same problem?

Misread your question, but regardless dayz.com/home will tell you whats new in status reports but if you want an overview of everything i suppose the pc info would be fine as long as its item/ feature related.

Dean hall was inspired to make this game or elements of the game from his training in the military.. I think thats what i heard once in a video. But to answer your question about the loot, pc and xbox are both 1.02 so they have the same loot (unless in a modded server on pc) but pc usually gets updates a couple weeks before xbox so it depends, you can check the home page on the dayz website and it will tell you whats what.. Waiting on the 1.03 status report 2 see whats gonna be coming.

My audio now cuts off after a few hours instead of minuites, maybe its dependent on where you are or a specific ambient noise idk thought id share.
