Nayte

There’re players who act as merchants in game. Either traveling or set up at a particular location. Check out some of the Xbox clubs, there’s a number of them. I don’t believe the devs have any plans on adding NPCs to the game.

I wasn’t able to find another player, though I had a little firing tribute saying farewell to early access. Here’s the video: https://xboxdvr.com/gamer/nayte/video/72034549

I mean, how would one get to a shirt that’s under a coat, under a vest? Never mind the fact that the holster straps would also obstruct access to the vest. Why not have a tac vest which includes a pistol holster, as most do?

They mentioned making night time 1-2 hours long.

I may actually try that late tonight when I’m on.

It could very well be delayed by BI, or Microsoft QA if they find anything on their end.

That’s nice of you. You should mess with a fresh spawn on the coast. Walk up and wave, then proceed to end your own life. Just post the clip here if you do.

He’s likely referring to the fact that the one X will have more strain running in full 4K, as opposed to running on a 1080p with super sampling instead. It would be up to the devs to offer a performance mode, where we could choose to run at 1080 with much more stable frames.

It’s been mentioned by the devs, and some threads that it’s something they’re looking into implementing. I wouldn’t expect anything anytime soon though.

I’m working through the reset this week. I’ll be on very late tonight and tomorrow night. Will probably be around 6am UK time when I’m on.

Cars are indeed buggy, though we’re still technically in preview, so testing it out and ironing remaining issues comes with the territory. A friend and I spent a solid 7 hours straight building a car. It seemed to track ok for me, that is until the FPS dropped for a couple of seconds, which teleported it up off the road over a concrete barrier. Some fandangling and it was finally free. The 4x4 name must just be for laughs, because it’s by no means viable off-road. It’ll struggle on the slightest inclines. I believe there should be a small chance of finding a complete car. It’s hard to believe every single car would be dismantled, unless I’m missing something lore wise. All in all its a nice side project, though the payoff currently is debatable at best.

@DayzDayzFanboy What are your thoughts on trying to get that pic going this weekend?

That sounds good. Hopefully we’ll see something like that post 1.0.

I was wondering if there were any plans to add the pulse check mechanic to Xbox. I remember watching older pc build videos where players could check another’s pulse to not only see their condition, but find out what the others name is. Not sure if it’s still a feature on the 1.01 pc build or not. Being able to ID another would be a great feature to have on Xbox. Particularly where clubs/clans are concerned. As well as those who wish to partake in some RP. Thanks for any info.

The One X is overall a much better experience when compared to the original one between games enhanced for the X. Digital Foundry does some great analysis if you’re interested. As far as DayZ, like bent mentioned, those issues persist between the platforms. The developers have stated that the game ran better when it first launched on Xbox, then got worse over time. They mention they’re not happy about it, and are working to better optimize the experience.

Here’s a video I came across which shows a few developers playing DayZ on Xbox, and answering questions brought up by the community. It’s nice to see some time being taken by these team members to help bring folks up to speed. This stream is about a month old, however they still touch on topics that are currently being discussed in the forums. Here’s the link: My thoughts: Aside from it being painfully obvious they don’t play on Xbox, which was hilarious when they brought it up from chat, I’m glad to see some big features and bugs being addressed. As feedback, it would’ve been more advantageous to have the guy who didn’t contribute to the discussion much play, while the others asked, and answered questions. It ended up causing the stream to have a long winded feeling. I only wish they were able to flesh out a bit more on what’s going to be done about the duping, which negatively impacts the economy. All in all, it was great to see, and I hope you guys do it again in the future. What are your thoughts? Let’s try and keep this thread as constructive as possible.

If that’s the extent of your loot cycling, then I would say it’s fine. Full blown loot cycling would consist of grabbing everything in a barrack, going out a ways to drop it on the ground, then coming back over and over to repeat that cycle. It is essentially exploiting the spawning mechanic to find the particular item/weapon you’re after. If you’re legitimately using the items you’re grabbing, and bringing them to your base, then checking back some time later, I’d say you’re ok.

You’re right that it’s not technically considered cheating, however it is an exploit that is frowned upon by some. Similar to server hopping. Personally, I would chalk it up on the same level as server hopping. However, those are in no way...no way close to the weakness that is duplicating. I think we can all agree with that.

I mean, that does sound like an issue to me, particularly if it’s creating that whiteout fog/mist every single time it rains.

Yeah, I know some people who never have issues finding them, I don’t get it. Since the last update I’ve literally spent entire work shifts looking before finally finding one.. Edit: Ohhh.. You loot cycle.. That explains that one.. Heh, yeah she’s easy on the eyes.

When they were talking about the economy issue where military rifles are much tougher to find, they only mention they are looking into it. As mentioned in my OP, the video was uploaded last month. I’ve got my fingers crossed that the issue will in fact be fixed ASAP, along with meatballing.

Damn, that’s disappointing to see there’s still issues with the rain.. Does this fog last for a long time?

Not sure where I stated your quote in this thread.. That being said, it is 100% dependent on whether or not BI can implement such a feature. Microsoft is, and has been, very open to early access games, and allowing developers to give it a shot on their platform. Notice how after Microsoft works with developers on certain early access games such as PUBG, Ark, Conan Exiles, etc., they then make their way to Sony shortly after full release, hmmm.. Seems to me Microsoft is willing to give developers both big and small the opportunity to bring their product to console. If it works great, if they fail then too bad. Ark allows for official and private servers. The latter being controlled and ran by a player using another Xbox, with full console command options integrated. It seems rather foolish, particularly given this game’s development history, to use Xbox as the scapegoat for a lack of beneficial features. Perhaps a BI dev will elaborate...

I second this motion, aside from the nut portion..

That’s DayZ for you, it manifests within ones subconscious..
