I disagree with the nav bar, I really enjoy navigating the map myself and it's a skill that can be improved with practice. I've really noticed my navigation improving with time and practice and I feel I have an advantage to other players that dont know how to navigate. In game navigation really separates the men from the boys sort of speak IMO. Are you from development? Doesn't appear you are.. When you say 'vanilla' servers, are you referring to PC? Immersion is what you make it with Dayz is it not? Yes. With no HUD options and FPP servers possibly coming you can choose how emersive you want Dayz to be right? Yes. If they ever had a kill feed, it would make sense to have it be an option to turn it on or off like the hud options currently.

Yeah they can get annoying, I don't like it when I'm playing Jogging simulator 2018 to get across the map (nor does my wife whens she is present while I'm playing lol) But I do like it when I'm listening for other players. For me sounds from other players have helped me more times than not, knowing they are in the vicinity with footsteps or doors opening/closing has been a huge advantage for me. Gives you a choice to flight or fight which can make or break your experience sometimes lol.

I hear what your saying but I've never found the number of players accurate when they showed player count numerically. Probably due to whatever refresh rate the servers had to show population, but I would imagine if it could be a real-time refresh rate, the numbers would be all over due to server hoppers and people joining and leaving naturally. Do you have trouble with toxic players on mid to high population servers? Other than the coastline and popular cities I've never found an issue running into too many toxic people on mid to high pop servers but that just may be my personal experience as I tend to be a nomadic woodsman lately sticking to the woods and smaller towns to get what I need.

Make sense that they would have a winter map. PC had multiple maps. Would explain all the winter camo I keep finding in current version.

Not too worried about it tbh, I never get attached to anything especially in game preview, so I am actually looking forward to it as I dislike my current character, he just isn't doing it for me this time around... poor fella... I have named him Charlie when he first came into this world, and unfortunately it looks like Charlie will have to take the easy way out once I find a gun.. I played for a little bit this morning and took a drink from a river, now I have the sick icon so fingers crossed I get sick! And yes, I will still probably find it hilarious and I won't put up with that coughing business for hours or days so if I am sick, I'll most likely opt out and take the Spawney Express to the coast. Don't get too attached to stuff dude, it seems like you do, posting some of the rants I've seen.. Expectation brings about disappointment my friend. Stay frosty out there.

Dude, one of the most hilariously awesome features you mean! Imagine the code needed for a contagious virus like a cold or flu in a game like this! I haven't got sick yet but I'm looking forward to it! Most friends I know opted out when they got sick, rinse and repeat type stuff you know. Anyway thanks for helping me remember what a great game Dayz has and is forming into!

They are for sure! I passed up 4 this morning as I made my way past Cherno through the shipping yard. Had to leave them unfortunately as I didn't have the time or resources to hide and put stuffs in them :(

Burlap can be found in industrial areas mainly (I think) as well as garages and sheds I believe. Don't give up, You'll find more I'm sure. It seem like a Dayz thing that just when you are about to or have given up on finding what your looking for, boom it appears lol. Remember even just a Ghilli hood or gun wrap helps break up your characters silhouette and can help you stay hidden (if that's what your choosing to do) or make you unrecognizable to other player initially as they may take a second to realize what they are looking at. One thing I've been getting better at is noticing other players and one of the first things I notice is their silhouette or odd movement in the distance that isn't a zombie (The Z's Silhouette and movements are some what predictable once you get to know them)

This forum has been really informative and I do really feel a part of the community here. As much help as I get, I try to pass it on to others too. Yes there has been a lot of help passed around for a long time and it's great to see and it's OG guys like yourself and @emuthreat that have been helping us out alot, and helping us catch up with the history and development of this game. Lol, very neat, definitely jealous of what you guys can do with your rigs. I started my gaming experiences on PC with titles like Wolfenstein 3D and Command and Conquer Red Alert. Wen I first heard of Dayz as an Arma II Mod I rushed out and priced out a PC that could handle it and unfortunately it wasn't in the cards.. I agree console players have been exposed to 100% "best sellers" pretty much since consoles became a thing. When I first started playing Dayz for XBOX I really noticed that "culture shock" playing a game in development. I guess its just the nature of gaming , getting accustomed to always playing finished games. It would explain a lot of the Ranting/Complaining from the console side I guess... all these folk used to playing polished games.. Playing Dayz in development has actually gave me quite the interest in game development that I never had before. It's really fascinating watching it unfold, and hey we actually get to help with that?! YES. I see Developers supporting, talking and replying to players?! YES. Pretty cool in my books man. It is changing the ones who will except change and you guys are definitely helping for the better!

We are figuring it out slowly, a lot of what is posted here (ranting/complaining) is not the majority of XBOX players mentality. Everything you have said is quite accurate in my books, different strokes for different folks. Dayz has always been a blank canvas to me in a way to make your OWN game out of it. It requires a bit of an imagination and desire for role play that I've never felt with any other game and I just feel lucky to finally play it.

Thanks for the link! Been liking reading the original discussions about Dayz. ALOT has changed from the ol' days.. I see why the PC peeps can get frustrated reading the Xbox forums about repeated topics but please remember we are not all like that ;)

Kindly elaborate fine sir?

1 Netting + 2 Burlap strips = Ghillie Wrap 2 Netting + 4 Burlap strips = Ghillie Bushrag 1 Netting + 2 Burlap strips = Ghillie Hood 4 Netting + 10 Burlap strips = Ghillie suit 3 Netting + 6 Burlap strips = Ghillie Top Hope this helps as I am on the hunt for Ghillie too!

For your ghillie, netting and burlap are what you require, use a knife or other sharp object to make burlap into strips and with the correct amount you can combine.

Start looking for something else and you'll find one, or grab up some camo netting then drop it, you'll find a tent right after that lol. Seems everytime I drop something that incomplete, like a gun with no mags, I find the thing I needed to complete it haha ?

No complaining here, the more vile the player, the tastier they are. https://imgur.com/a/j0MKbzg

Well great, now I want things..... I want to be able to widdle a canoe out of wood damn it.

Hahahaha that made me lol.

Finally ;) https://imgur.com/a/9YmVYW8

It's not you, the combining methods changed with the last update I believe. Oh it fixes that and more sir What a renewable resource ;)

Tents can be found a lot of places, they are considered a medium spawn type of loot, so you wont find one on a table in a house or next to beds ect.. I underlined can because I have only ever found one since they were implemented. I found mine in a drive-shed type garage next to a house. I have read they can spawn on top of apartment buildings as well. Word to the wise to have some camo netting on your ready for when you find one. They are bright blue and even with camo netting will most lily be found by others. I thought I had my hidden really well at the very top of the map amongst trees and it wasn't long before someone found it :(

Most likely just a bug. I sometimes have issues with rounds, mags, or guns at any given time. Even though it's just bugs in the game, for me it actually gives some real immersion due to the fact if you found random guns and ammo just laying about IRL you'd probably have jamming issues too. Especially if they were unkept. If your gun is jammed in game, it will show a round visually stuck in the chamber when in your hands in the inventory menu. I dont believe there is a current way to un jam weapons.

Could be bugged, or you haven't found a flat enough surface. It has to be placed on perfectly flat ground I believe. Try placing the car tent lol! Takes forever to find flat ground especially deep in the woods!

Duct tape ;)

Duct tape ;) As long as it hasn't gone to ruined status. *Edit: Once ruined I thinks it's gone for good.
