Exactly

Do you have an official link discussing this?

Fingers crossed that the exploits are fixed for good.

I’d recommend avoiding any larger cities if at all possible, at least until there’s a hotfix that irons it out.

Not necessarily true. We’ll likely get some hot fixes to be on par with pc after we have 1.04. The main thing is seeing where we are once 1.04 drops on console, if duping is fixed for good it’ll be game changing. I’m sure many wouldn’t care about minor issues with the build if that’s the case.

Maybe, though if they’re too lazy to loot legitimately, they’re likely too lazy to read the forums. They probably only understand emojis...

I found a couple of cowboy hats over the weekend.

Until duping is permanently fixed you’ll want to do what others have suggested and loot player bases. Here’s a photo of a base my friends and I hit over the weekend. I’ve never seen anything like it. There must’ve been over one hundred sea chests strewn about. https://gamerdvr.com/gamer/nayte/screenshot/12439273

I could accept that, however given the current climate of mass duped items, BI really has no choice but to have a full wipe upon 1.04, if duping is indeed completely fixed. Only other scenario I can think of is if they’ve found an algorithm to remove anything duped post fix/update. Time will tell..

They may be doing some back end testing until the day the update drops. I’d be very surprised if they didn’t wipe them.

What was the “new character controller” that fixed the duping issue for pc you speak of?

I’d be willing to say with certainty that they will absolutely wipe servers and characters. Anytime there’s been a substantial update we’ve had a full wipe.

@ImpulZ Is there any chance the team will add in servers to replace those in the future? I’m sure there’re many who do not want to join high pop servers. Some of us really enjoy the low pop scene. Personally, back when there were actual numerical values to server populations ( I really miss that feature) I would purposely look for as low a value as I could find. We all know how humans are in numbers... On another note, I’m hopeful that there’s a permanent fix for duping. Any further info we can get would be much appreciated. Keep up the great work!

No point in trying to reason with unreasonable people. They’ll bitch and complain yet fire up DayZ in the same thought process as they know, issues aside, that DayZ is the best survival experience on console.

There could be something like this established with RP private servers. Depending on how BI may or may not allow modders to import their mods to the Xbox version after private hives, time will tell.

Sounds like that guy is on strike one with his friend, particularly once he may have realized that you never had a gun to begin with.. Hopefully he watches that guy closely.

Most seem to want to PvP by the coast. I try and get away from everyone by going inland.

Hahaha, the timing is on point!

I didn’t hear about that one, will have to look it up. All these monopolies aside, I think we’ll hopefully reach a level where we can all game together in some capacity regardless of platform.

I agree that more transparency would go a long way. On the flip side, maybe they’ve some surprises in store for us on top of what pc has with their update. Imagine a permanent fix for duping, and/or private servers on console... That would be amazing!

I remember months ago one of the CMs mentioned crossplay between Xbox and PC through separated servers for keyboards only. The big hurtle for consoles is Sony. They’ve never been too keen on the idea.. Guess bringing gamers together isn’t on their agenda.

Better to under promise rather than set a firm date only to miss it due to coding issues, or Microsoft QA finds something, etc. You can imagine the level of uproar if that was to happen. @ImpulZ mentioned in this thread that they’d give more info as we approach the date this month:

It all depends on who’s behind the firearm..

DayZ would benefit from more players like you.

While those issues are true, don’t underestimate the bk133 and mosin combo, it’s very formidable.
