It was completely thought out. It’s a barrier against easy duping, and also ghosting. Just because YOU wouldn’t ghost after such a long time, doesn’t mean other people wouldn’t. People could still find a base, and make sure they log back into that base. Even if it’s 2 weeks later, it’s still ghosting.

Performance and stability are some of their main focuses, but it will take time because it's not a simple fix. Car lights won't be fixed until NVGs are, since it is the same command to turn them on ('L' key on PC)

This is affecting all platforms, so PC has had it for months. They have already scheduled a fix.

@Scooter2shoes 1.04 introduced ‘check pulse’... this option only appears when a player is alive. When they are dead it will say ‘survivor’ (ironically)... Although, I WISH you had to check the pulse of a dead player, too. It doesn’t make sense that we magically know a player is dead by looking at them.

Also, it’s crucial that there is no cool-down period. Otherwise people would still be able to ghost into bases, and steal stuff. Once you get used to this new system, it’s great. No more server hoppers stealing all the military loot, or appearing out of nowhere, killing you. The ups definitely outweigh the downs.

There is a lot of fog in 1.04. On PC, too. It seems to be more of a weather thing, though.

@0.64 Freerider I hope you’ll be adding another ✅ to the list soon... 😉

If there are new methods, BI will eventually patch them out. Not much more they can do. Until then, there are always private servers.

So many items you cannot pick up. I killed a guy at Balota, I couldn’t loot half of his inventory. The only reason I even got into a fight was because I was out in the open trying to pick up 2 pistols, I’d dropped. After killing him, I try to pick up the pistols again. Can’t do it. I decide to log. I didn’t make a note of the server number because I assumed pressing ‘play’ would return you to the previous server like on PC. No luck! There’s not even a ‘previously played’ option. So now I’m going through all the damn servers waiting to see which one doesn’t have the ‘server hopping’ message. Bit of a pain in the arse when it only appears after the queue. You introduce the server hopping mechanic, but don’t make it easy for people to find out the previously played server. I know I should have checked before I went in, but it doesn’t always happen. I played it on Xbox game preview in December, and the ‘previously played’ option was there. What happened to it? After finally getting back in the server, it turns out that the pistols I was trying to pick up, were already on me. Yet, they were still on the ground in front of me (still not possible to pick up). There were many problems with invisible loot, for the people I was playing with last night. I would drop items for people, but they couldn’t see them. I’m guessing it’s part of the same bug. I will file a bug report, but this was a very frustrating issue this morning. and yes @Scooter2shoes I’m also now posting back to back posts... 😂

@Scooter2shoes You make SOME valid points, but 4 continuous posts? Seriously man? When were console spawning in with drink, I knew about the knife, but a drink also?. On PC, we have been spawning in with rags, fruit and a flare since 1.0. This is the intended way. It’s supposed to be a hardcore game. I have to also reiterate what someone mentioned above @ImpulZ Why can’t you move when accessing the ‘item-wheel’ or walk in the inventory like on PC? Use the D-pad to select items, and keep the analogue stick for player movement, I’m sure most would prefer that. It’s so clunky to have to stand still in order to change weapons, etc. I imagine most people would prefer to keep their guns out, for quickness. This is another barrier preventing good console interactions. Don't even get me started on the Party system, but we can blame the consoles for that crap.

We still need proof that this is happening. Not a single YouTube video has been uploaded on the subject. Sad fuckers are so desperate for views, that they usually get them up pretty quickly.

What kind of meat? If it’s animal meat, you need to take charcoal tablets. Take one and a drug symbol will appear. If the sickness symbol is still there once the drug symbol has gone, take another charcoal tablet. Repeat, this process until the drug symbol has gone. If you ate human meat, and your character is laughing maniacally. There is no cure.

Saddest thing of all is the amount of resources this is taking away from Bohemia developing the game, and adding much needed features. Also, a fresh server is one of the best times to experience the loot economy of DayZ, in terms of rare weapons. If people are duping already, it’s clear they don’t want to experience the game legitimately. I can forgive players at their wit’s end, after months of tent cities, but on a fresh server? Nah... Find a way to ban their arses.

The queues will die down. It’s day 1 of ‘the big update’.

Server crashes are BI issue, not Nitrado. They have been happening a lot on 1.04 on PC, too. Can you give more details about the 6 hours of lost persistence?

Your idea would not work Golem, because NV doesn’t turn on. They work like binoculars but with a battery. They probably left them in because it takes more work to remove it. Plus NVG can still be used in your hands. Why on earth are you so salty about it? I can only presume it’s because you’re so terrible at the game, that the only way you can get kills is by shooting people in the dark.

Community servers came with 1.04. Every single one is character locked.

I’m one of the biggest supporters of this game, and played PS4 1.04 today to test the update. I had fun with a couple of randoms for several hours. I have to say though, the performance was awful. I can handle the odd frame drops, it still happens on PC. But the rendering on the original PS4 is so bad. Blocky textures galore. If you use ‘eye zoom’ the FPS drops to such low levels. Also, the controls. I assume that NVG doesn’t work because you haven’t mapped the ‘L’ button yet. I doubt many would mind if you changed the controls again. Basic things like leaning and shooting are awkward. Not to mention ‘alt-looking’ and ‘eye zoom’ at the same time (something I’ve ALWAYS associated with DayZ).... have you tried doing this on console? It’s so cumbersome that it’s really not worth it. Also, you cannot seem to drop items with the press of a button... I presume it was removed for throwing? Speaking of which, entering the throw-stance accidentally when you open a door seems to be a common problem. There really don’t seem to be enough buttons on console. Then again, perhaps I’m just a moaning PC twat. I’m always willing to give the benefit of the doubt though. Your last status report promised balancing, bug fixes, further optimisation, and I am hopeful you will deliver.

It’s been one day. Give it time. The first person I bumped into in Berizino, invited me to a party, and we went all the way to Tisy The biggest issue for console interaction will always be the party chat system. So stupid that you have to prioritise one audio.

Fresh spawn is the best time to use a flare. You have nothing to lose

Also, you will still be able to use them as binoculars, so they won’t be entirely useless.

1.04 drops and you’re moaning already. It’s pretty minor given the state of the game, previously. The devs are telling you they can’t be switched on. What more confirmation do you need?

@MarczXD320 Sounds good, but it’s hard to tell on a brand new server. Give it a couple of weeks once bases, and stashes have appeared, and the loot economy has settled.

@ImpulZ Also ‘quick bar working in inventory’ is pc-specific. Might wanna delete to avoid confusion.
