I think what he is referring to is that once you build your base and secure it with a lock or whatever they will have to do that with (I think pc has combination locks or something) there is nothing stopping anyone from server hopping directly into your base. Not sure if there's a solution for this, there's definitely alot of suggestions out there for this issue. Me for one will be scouting other peoples bases out more than building them, have you seen how long it takes?! Could be a fun project down the road to build an elaborate base but takes a ton of material and time from the looks of it!

Very cool to learn of these things you guys are doing for the game. It's been a really interesting experience watching the game development process and Dayz just fufills the gamer in me that all other games I've played have not. Great work and looking forward to the future!

I had this issue too, I believe you just click on your blank profile picture beside your name then it brings you to your profile and you can see the little prompt beside or on the blank pic to change it.

I disagree, although the Alice pack only has a 10% absorbency rating, it will get soaked. It also prevents you from sprinting with only adding a few items to its inventory due to its weight and looks absolutely huge on your character. Now I would say the SPOSN Tortilla Backpack is the best military bag for rain as it has a 0% absorbency rating and 32 slots. I believe it can carry 72 weight as well. I have only found the green one though, I'm not sure if it comes in camo in this current version. My personal preference is the Assault backpack due to it being available in camo and with a carrying capacity of 100 and a 30% absorbency rating, I find it suits my needs.

Was dropping some boxes of .45 rounds to make room for other stuff and thangs when all of the sudden I see it. A face on the back of the box. Made me lol. Probably a dev? I also found the newspaper headlines funny. Ban on a pound of bananas lol. http://imgur.com/a/aaQymXf

The "plate carrier" as it's named in the database (also known as the heavy vest) shows bleed (Armor) of 90% and a Ballistic (Armor) of 2 which would definitely help in pvp like Man Parts 241 said. I prefer the UK assault vest as it has better camouflage options, but it only has a bleed (armor) of 30% an no ballistic rating. I would love to see attachable pouches come to game to add to the heavy vest which I think is currently in PC version.

I tried to report this in the bug section but I cannot log-in for some reason. Joined game this morning, in a Guard tower at veresnik military base with my AKM, suppressed with full mag and proceeded to clear a few zombies, the first one further away from me went down with one shot however the second zombie which was much closer showed a blood spray indicating a hit but didn't drop and didn't agro. I then proceeded to put multiple rounds into the same zombie with no effect other than blood spray and the sound of suppressed shots from the AKM, I then noticed it the bottom left corner of my screen a 0 indicating I had no more rounds so I went into my inventory and noticed the mag was completely missing from the gun. I proceeded to add a new mag and had no other issues shooting for the rest of my session.

Man oh man what a time to be alive! I find myself often just sitting back playing Dayz and really appreciating where we have come. Like most here I grew up a huge gamer, ever since the dawn of gaming time (which for me, was the mid-90s with titles like Wolfenstein 3D). I really grew up with all of the consoles though and the industry as a whole. I remember visiting the store as a child and hanging around at the magazine rack, slowly but surely video game magazines popped up on the shelf, one after the other, Nintendo Power, Game Pro and more. I remember playing Goldeneye for N64 and thinking wow what could beat this! What started as seemingly “kid stuff” was gaining ground and recognition as a legitimate pastime and for good reason. What started out in its humble 8-bit beginnings became a staple in modern entertainment, in nearly every living room around the world in one form or another. The last few generations of gaming consoles for me have brought the most amazing changes and innovations to the gaming world – with the introduction of Microsoft as a player in the field, pitting their Xbox up against the likes of Nintendo and Sony, the console wars are alive and well. Graphics are on par with PC Gaming (except the PC Master Race will always be a few steps ahead with their expensive rigs) for the most part, for now hue hue. Gaming isn’t just about graphics anymore, although still important, it’s about Fun. You’d think it was ALWAYS about fun, and it was, but now games have become more than just a pretty face and a favorite character or storyline. It’s now about immersion. Gaming to me has come very far since its early days, and despite some claims that it has slowed or stagnated, this really is just the beginning. New advances are always just around the corner, and a new chapter of video game history is being written. The coolest part is that people like you and me can join in and make our mark with successful titles and I just feel lucky to be a part of it.

Yeah it can be frustrating I know but yes hang in there or put it aside for awhile, it will get better!

I feel Pilgrim explains it quite well in this thread. The content is coming and will come to Xbox it has to, deals were signed with Microsoft and I'm sure both BI and Microsoft take those seriously, I mean just think how many developers Microsoft have applying for games to be on their platform and how many don't make the cut. I remember first hearing Dayz possibly coming to console 2 or 3 years ago and I remember being so pumped because I've followed this game from creation when it was just the mod for PC. So just think from them announcing that it was possibly coming, it's taken 2-3 years or longer to just to get it to console and now its here!

Yes! (inserts Bear Grylls Improvise adapt overcome meme) The bad weather and constant darkness actually make a day server quite refreshing I've found, and I find myself appreciating the daylight a lot more because of that. I've enjoyed experimenting with darker clothing for night time sneaky sneaky stuff lol.

The only way I've been able to loot zombies is by highlighting the "zombie container" with left bumper then using right trigger to highlight the actual the item your taking from them. The game doesn't seem to let you select zombie items like you can with your own inventory using the left joystick in my experience.

I've seen plenty of AKM's but I noticed issues with mine this morning, im currently in a sniper tower at a military base and when i joined the server this morning, i fired at one z and took him down, fired at another one and got the blood splatter indicating a hit but no take down or agro so I went into my menu the mag from the gun was gone. Loaded a new full mag and was fine after that but my original full mag was never to be seen again. I have never had the energy to look for a crash site myself but a friend has been looking for one all week with no luck either..

You cannot break a door down with anything unfortunately. Is it the military barracks with multiple rooms and a bathroom you speak of that are locked? I would suggest doing a 360 on the building and see what you can see through the windows if you can before committing to a stakeout, I've done and seen it done after looting where they lock the door or doors to just not let anyone else loot it or access the building after them. Would be cool if it was a loot base though, could be fun.

Good day all, does anyone know what a server saves and for how long? For example I lock all the doors of a house and leave the server, do the doors stay locked? I had a fresh spawn last night and i noticed a locked house with what appeared to be loot in one room but no one was to be seen. Made me curious.. Also do people really stash stuff in the ground? Please enlighten me on the pros and cons. I haven't figured out the advantage unless you thought you were going to die and you stashed along the coast but then your respawn could be way far from your stash and you would have to find another shovel and by then I'd think you would've found the same loot that you could've stashed no?

Agreed, the sounds very much make the experience alot more immersive and scary! Even down to the creaky metal door sounds every few minutes near large containers. Yeah a few sounds are broken but not a game breaker for me, like when lockpicking and getting the eating sound lol. Finally had some sun and no rain today and it was really refreshing. Really enjoyed the views as I couldn't fine anyone to talk to lol.

Has anyone played with torches yet? I haven't but from what I read you can load them up with rags to pretty much burn indefinitely? I know once they add animal lard to the game, you can load the torches with that to burn as fuel. Also can you stick them into the ground? I have this idea at night to make a ring of torches and then put a backpack in the middle of them full of human flesh to freak people lol. I'd be pretty spooked if I came across that in game haha. When base building comes I can foresee some cool set ups illuminating fortresses at night.

I found one last night in a house just outside Cherno on a chair. I also found an IV start kit in a shipping container which I thought was strange for an industrial area.

I found a flashlight and 2 batteries with a fresh character after the wipe, but to be honest I dropped the flashlight because it just creeps me out more than helps me see through the dark, especially in the woods. Other than the Acog, do batteries even do anything for scopes in the current version? I haven't seen any difference in scopes when adding batteries in the PSO-1 and Kobra. Has anyone ever turned on the flashlight then dropped it? does it stay on? I could see the flashlight being useful if you were looking for specific loot but I just look for the prompts if it is too dark in the buildings. I have never found the flashlight very useful other than getting into shenanigans. Try climbing to the top of a tower and becoming a lighthouse beacon and seeing how long it takes for someone to shoot you lol. I may have to try that one..

That's a big part of this game that I enjoy, thinking of cool things like this that they could implement (but probably won't I know) or coming up with fun things to do with what is currently available in game. I see a lot of complaints on what isn't in the Xbox version but personally I haven't scratched the surface of what this game offers just in it's preview form. I've followed Dayz from inception on the Arma mod for PC and quite honestly, like most, couldn't afford to put the money into a decent gaming PC that could run it at the time. Loving what the team has done with this game for console and I look forward to play it every chance I get.

That would be very cool, and it would have to take like 6 or more car batteries to light a large city.

That would be terrifying! I wonder if there is a limit on how many torches can be placed in a given area.

I agree and I'm sure they will come. I'm looking forward to whacky Achievements too, similar to a game like GTAV. I would think they will have some funnier Achievements since I wasn't expecting to find a Great Helm the other night LOL. Modern day Russian zombie apocalypse and I look like I'm from the middle ages. it does give good protection though but stands out and almost has a reflective shine to it in the sun.

I found a great helm on the weekend!
