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.

See if you have any packet loss, the way you describe the stuttering makes me think its cpu/gpu related not network related, but im no professional so..

nah, if you go into settings & preferences you can turn off the option of recording clips, it just might give you a few extra frames and maybe less dips but changing that & your resolution will be noticeable.. I donno if it would help with the stuttering but maybe. Im pretty sure an ssd typically will load games faster but i guess it depends on how fast it is or large.. I donno. Also turning off recordings turns off streaming aswell. + disabling kinect helps free up some cpu load if you have one of those. Tbh tho you might just have a bug you never know with this game.

i run on an Xbox x so i wouldn't know but when i had the og the game was unplayable (awhile ago when the game ran really bad on x aswell). I would change to 720p or atleast turn off recordings (i have recordings off) could help. Maybe make sure your on the servers in your timezone. Also always make sure you have no other apps open, im sure thats not the problem but it helps for any game especially dayz. Could be the external drive i would try, i wouldn't know tbh.

i feel like making locked servers will ultimately be what they do to temporary fix duping and server hopping next patch, unless they have something different in mind. Regardless its an easy quick fix that would allow them to work on other bugs instead aswell.

You mean the night time where i could turn up my brightness and see perfectly fine? Where based on your tv/monitor you either could see everything or nothing? Ya im talking about that "night time" if you even wanna call it that.. More of a "throw brightness up time" if you ask me, completely pointless to even have a night if some people can exploit it while others barely see a thing.

so me and my buddy often talk about how cool and crazy it would be if there were creatures or a creature, with a low chance of actually coming after you and would be unpredictable... I know it will never happen but sometimes im playing during the night and feel scared more than i do from a horror game, just from the potential presence of another player, i could only imagine being terrorized by some banshee tree hopping creature. I was also exploring potential ways i could terrorize people, maybe just be posted up on the road talking to myself then out of nowhere pull out an ak and start shooting everywhere.. Or just be creepy until i can go in for the kill lol. Anyone have any stories of their scariest moments, or a moment where you invoked fear?

lol ya i think i was watching those vids a few weeks ago.

People could adjust their brightness to give them an advantage in 1.01, also alot of the people i played with couldn't even see then, no matter what setting they tried to change, meanwhile i saw just fine and could have pretty much bypassed the night if i had turned my brightness and whatever up. better the darkness is consistent between all players rather then it not be, just for visual purposes. I proposed for future updates they lower the the night time length to 30 mins that way it creates some more choice in how you want to spend the night, post up in a house, camp, continue, all players will have their preferences or playstyle if you will, think it could be interesting and would also make it not drag on forever which is what will create the opportunity for choice as right now, camping, and all that for an hour is out of the question for most people. Even traveling through an hour of night is abit much, especially when you can just switch to a day server, feels like your putting yourself threw an unnecessary hassle. How would you feel about 30 mins nights?

gotta live life on the edge brother

maybe make sure no other apps are open or just reinstall the game, then as a last resort clear any saved data off the game.

Their having this issue occur on the server search tab, that's a crazy coincidence if the power is causing that.

i was playing for a few hours up in the tisy military base and sinistok, never spent more then 5 mins off the mountain area, never had ambient cut out besides the rain not making noise or just being to quite to hear. Once i left me and my buddy both lost our ambient audio in around 10 mins, i think near lopatino is when we lost it sitting in a treeline. Hard to tell what the cause is but maybe note worthy how me and my buddy both had the ambient audio for hours up near tisy military base, and sinistok until we left. 10 mins into leaving and our ambient audio is gone. That being said after the ambience is gone you cant get it back even if you go to sinistok & tisy base area, only relog as far as im aware.
