Not sure you get what duping does to a server.....

The key is never to rush into anywhere - you may get unlucky and have someone spawn in there but it is an absolute must to recce any built up area before going in. Never just assume that there is nobody in there because you don't see infected. I spend a good 5 mins or more checking places out before going in, probably saved me a few times. This should include the wooded areas for ghillied guys too. KoS is part of the game and it would be rubbish without it but equally it would be rubbish if everyone did it. I did it at the mil base near the NEA the other day but only after I heard the character laughing. I never trust anyone who has eaten human flesh..... lol

Having buildings go across all servers is not a good idea - it increases raiding chances and would have a ridiculous impact on FPS and gear. The only solution to any of this is character locking the servers so every server has a different character for players.

So having played 1000s of hours on PC (mostly Mod servers though) it's fair to say I, like most of us love this game. That said I decided to start a list of things I would hope make their way into the standalone - not all will agree obviously: Personal survival log - numbers of players/infected killed, deaths, current character live time. Locked Servers to prevent the ridiculous amount of Server ghosting. Fishing (sad to some but it's actually a good food source). Party/in-game chat switching - sometimes it prevents interacting with other players resulting in more KoS than I would like (when not all of a group have radios so we switch to party). reintroduction of hot button for quick select items. Helis (Maybe basic hummingbird style) - a lot to ask this one I know. Broken legs (Despite spending more time than I would like crawling around looking for Morphine.....) Bicycles (but rare so players can't just shoot back to their bodies in minutes of being killed). Drop the AP mines and introduce tripwire explosive. Throwing items - then introduce grenades..... :-))))) a problem for bases though so unless stronger bases coming in then a no-no..... NVG's - we have the Night scope so maybe it's time for some NVGs. Only being able to eat cooked meat - too easy to kill and just eat raw. In game map (Better than current) - I don't personally need one but would be very handy for those that do..... As I said not all will agree and I have probably forgotten some things myself that I had in mind.....

Agreed - anyone dying due to lack of food or drink needs to learn how to play the game properly.....🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

I was initially dubious and haven't watched all this yet but if it is the same orange armband guys I have bumped into a few times then they definitely have enough players to build a base that big without duping. At my last count I guestimate a clan of around 15+ but that's probably a lower than actual number.

Name and shame.....

Lets be honest the game would be dreadful without some KoS players - it's the unknown element that gives you that heart attack when someone gets the drop on you. I met a ghillied guy base building last week - I chatted (after switching out of party chat) then left him to building his base, which now looks awesome btw if you are on here.... On the whole I find that KoS happens in high military loot areas and when a player runs near you with a gun out or you are playing in a bandit role for the loot. We all get a bit bitter when we are KoS, me included but I wouldn't want it eliminated from the game unless there are specific PVE servers with missions like the PC modded versions. A modded DAYZ is a completely different game to the Standalone and I think a lot of Xbox players who haven't experienced it should seriously consider buying the right gaming PC and giving it a go because I doubt xbox will ever get to that level, unless the next gen xbox is as good as it seems its going to be. A lot of people play the game because of Frankie and continued because of TRMZ, Spaggie and M1ndr et al., on the whole they play PC versions (Modded and Standalone) and people shouldn't expect the same gameplay on Xbox.

For me this is going to be a major problem until there is some way to switch between Party and In-game chat. I want to be friendly most of the time but it can be sometimes too risky when I am chatting in party because we are so far from each other.

I could easily go on about how the DAYZ community is generally different from your CoD playing types (I won't though). Play style is each players choice and I choose different ways depending on situations. What I don't do is use any glitches because I either don't know how to get what I want or am more suited to a PC Modded version of the game..... To answer your question, no I don't think your comment should be awarded the dumbest of the year - hope this helps.....

Never see the point in Duping - I play DAYZ for the experience of finding and surviving. Duping defeats the object of the game and is probably mainly done by those that just don't get DAYZ and what it's about.... Clearly all the problems aren't caused by dupers but it most definitely doesn't help.....

Never duped and never been pushed back nor have the group I play with. Not sure if there is a link or not - maybe we have just been fortunate.....

Same here and an AK at another crash site - also where I found a VSD. Crash site south of Vybor (Watch the house when approaching, it's a good sniper spot.....) and the Site NW of Stary seem good spots.

Not wanting to make it too competitive (honest.....) What's the popular server with most on here - I tend to go for the NL servers and more often than not it's 3969 or 3900 depending on who I am playing with - some of my mates don't like the busier servers as they get KoS'd a lot..... Also, why do you choose certain servers, met players you like etc.

Sounds like someone got killed by a ghillie and isn’t happy about it......

unless your camp is on 3900 with 2 tents and a barrel - I regularly use that to trade gear, I don't steal I always leave an apple when I take a gun..... lol

I have played on plenty of PC Mod servers so having a secure base or coming up with a way to make it pretty secure isn't new for me. There's too many playing Xbox DAYZ at the moment that don't understand the pain we PC players went through and the benefits and beauty of the simplicity of this game. Not that that should have any bearing on whether the game should be full release or not. I still think there is a lot of satisfaction to be had building a base that Is hard to get into by other players. Now that I am playing the Xbox version more I intend to give it full support and patience I did with early PC versions Once I have built the base I will let those who may be genuinely interested know and we can meet up to see if you can figure out how to get into the main area. I am hoping it's so simple that people won't even think about it lol lol lol lol lol....

So I am hoping that there wont be another character wipe anytime soon..... 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 To that end me and a few mates are going to build a base - I have an idea to stop ghosting happening or at least make it really difficult. Anyone built yet????? If you have feel free to share pics, we might need some inspiration

Can't stop it completely, where there's a will and all that but for them to ghost they would have to do quite a lot of building themselves.

You can use party chat and have in game chat - the problem is that you have to use the app on your phone/tablet and have in game chat through headphones as normal. Not ideal but is possible.....

It's making the game even more immersive than before - loving the twilight look

Spot on - Darker outside of towns with a bit more light in them just enough so you can get around. I have slowed my game right down since the Infected awareness increase so have no issues. I think a lot has to do with those that think they can run in, loot up and run off again. There's a lot more watching time required to survive in DAYZ than a lot of people realise and increased night and darkness can help.

Started so well and then..... a bit of server hopping promotion if anyone needs some.....🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 Enjoy the game to its fullest no matter what the time of day or the weather and live the life with the character..... pick a server stick with it and change when your character dies..... Accept that that you will be killed at some point and live the whole experience.....🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

There is actually a way around the party and in game chat issue which I forgot to mention but I’d still rather have it in game

Something I forgot that dawned on me..... double tap in game chat so it stays on
