Relax, it was just a friendly question about whether what you said was meant as a joke or not - therefore the friendly smiley on the end. No need to stress out. 🙂

Are you for real? 🙂 Ever since the "unintentionally pushed out" patches (first destroying the scopes, the "kinda" fixing them but not all the way back to how it was and still kinda broken with no red dots) the looting have been the biggest mess ever. Suddenly you can't pick up anything and have to leave and re-join the server to see where stuff actually is and what you have in your inventory. Its a mess right now.

Im pretty sure Pilgrim is correct about that being how it works right now. Otherwise AR's would still be spawning as the servers would see them as "not existing" if they were in tents or buried and it would be possible to go to a military area on a low-pop server and find them - which it ain't. Lets hope they change it with the new update, I would hate get locked out of the good loot again just because you were not online at the right interval after a wipe. And crossed fingers that the friggin god-tents have been fixed, im so tired of 70% of the weapons basically being useless because everyone got LARs and SVDs. I want to feel powerful with an IJ70 with 1,5 mag and a BK18 with 3 rounds again! 🙂

Why complain about stuff you know nothing about yet? There is plenty of that on the forum already. I prefer valid points.

Well, I guess there are different opinions on that my man. And they said that they console version will have to wait 3 weeks longer for the updates then the pc-version - we are almost 3 months behind right now and I will say that that warrants some serious criticism! If you dont agree then enjoy 1.02 and stay focused on that. 🙂

You are probably correct about that. 😉 But that does not make the situation any better.

@ImpulZ Right now it would be _very_ fair to actually let us have some real information about what is going on. As Bent.Toe points out, it does not have to be great news - but just keep us in the loop instead of this joke. You guys pretty much screwed us on the 1.03 and we have not seen any updates for month even though you guys stated that we are "3 weeks behind the pc-version" (yeah right, we are more then 3 weeks after 1.04 for pc and we STILL have not even seen 1.03......) so right about now would be a really good time to actually spill the beans. This is turning into a real bad joke by now and any kind of info could be seen as good damage reduction which would be the professional thing to do after pretty much ignoring the console-people for 2-3 months.

The DLC won't be launching until the end of the year, and who knows when (and in what shape) it arrives on consoles. It is the 1.03 and 1.04 updates we are waiting for. 😉

What a ghosting little prick, shooting a bunch of people chilling and enjoying themselves is damn low - he could have at least have started throwing insults out the window and made it an interesting fight. Nice video by the way! 🙂

I think you are misunderstanding something... You are NOT supposed to survive being caught or surrounded by a mob of zombies. If you get into a situation like that then you probably made a wrong decision somewhere on your path - like making too much noise (and thereby attracting attention) or not trying to a closed door between you and the zombies fast enough. As Impuls pointed out; ranged weapons are for ranged combat, and even the best melee weapons are not supposed to be able to take care of a horde of zombies up close - this ain't Dead Rising 5 and the standard setting is ultra hardcore. 🙂

The update is cumming? Then that's why 1.03 was delayed, its busy on porntube...

If you look at which games that has some kind of mod-support (which really is not that many on Xbox) then you will notice that most of them if not all are single-player titles and not massive multiplayer games like DayZ. The Xbox-system is a closed system that you can't tinker with as a regular user, and being able to upload scripts that affects how servers work and whatnot would possible allow for backdoors to the system. If BI had their say in it then mods would probably be out for the xbox-version already, but that is Microsofts decision...

Can you try to take a pic of it with your phone?

In general try not to fire your weapon unless you _really_ need to - there are a bunch of good reasons for it. Killing 1 zombie with a gun usually attracts 10 more, and thats always bad. Ammo is scarce, you never know when you run out. Other players gets a clue on your location and will most likely come in to investigate. Yesterday me and two mates had just arrived at NWAF to look for some fun, and one of them decides to fire his Mosin at a single zombie (that could have been killed with melee without a problem as there was just one) and 20 seconds later we got 30-35 zombies on us and everything is utter chaos just because he wanted to have a bit of "fun" with his gun. He got killed by the zombies and I ended up getting his plate carrier, I hope he learned his lesson. 🙂

Ill still put my money on the DLC being a Battle Royale-mode for DayZ. That map you just referred to if also for another game, not for DayZ - its the same developer though but ARMA3 ain't DayZ. They have already posted some info about it, so that would make most sense in my mind.

...

That statement is almost a year old, and if it has not been implemented yet then I am not sure it is ever getting implemented. The new status rapport (from today) can also be read as if the broken bones-mechanics are not getting implemented again after all... Edit: spelling.

I find new friends to play with in dayz all the time. Just today I was searching through 20 god-tents that some douche duped and set up at the harbor-area at Solnichy. There was 10-15 rifles laying around on the ground, none of them had mags but there was single bullets loaded into all of them. I am checking them through (in hope of finding one with a mag) when another guy says hi and ask me not to shoot him. I tell him its all good and tells him that he can take whatever he wants. A moments later a third guy shows up and the same thing happens again. We all ended up going inland and two of us are now proper geared after a bit of adventuring (the third one died in Dolina and never made it back). Its all just a matter of NOT shooting at first sight and being friendly and polite instead - and then just roll with it and sees what happens. Take that approach and you will have a couple of handfuls of trusted people to play with in no time. 🙂

I read it in several other threads (probably here or on the dayz-forum on reddit) over the time.

I had hoped for this Wednesday (once again), but I can wait an extra week if they deliver on all of that. 🙂

They work fine, but there aint a lot of people using them. I've had most luck on the 1st person-servers as a bit more people tend to roleplay and stay in game-chat there. The handheld transceiver can transmit in a radius of 5 km, the big field receiver (that you can wear as a backpack) transmits all over the map.

100%, this forum could be re-named the echo-chamber of doom. 🙂

And some people apparently thinks that double-posting makes twice the argument and not half. 😉

Thats been the lay of the lands in here for a looong time, some people seem to get a kick out of all the complaining and thinks that they are the crusaders making the game better by doing it. 😉

I have not heard or read anything about it. Would be quite happy if it was the case though.
