You can try to suppress free speech all you want punk, but the facts remain. The dayz development team is absolute trash. You all can keep licking their boots and ignoring it.

So the developers go and mess up big time by having characters swapped. Instead of quickly acting to fix their screw up, they wait all day and allow players to scramble and try to get kitted back up. Spend hours looting and building characters again. Then they go ahead and turn the clock back and we lose all that work. I just found an m4 and fully kitted up my character again and now that's all gone. The development team is a joke for this game.

Just came back to dayz. Had to stop playing it until they did another update to fix some stuff. So far I am enjoying it again. A couple minor things that they need to work on but over all it has my attention again. I love the unique aspect of the game and the firefights in dayz are far more exciting and immersive than any other console game. Here is my complaint.. weapons like the m4 and ak became non existent for a while and they blamed duping. Ok I can buy that. But they did some updates and wiped everything. So why is it still just as hard to find an m4 or ak. Me and my buddies have been playing regularly for a week now. Checked every military base a few times and even right after a couple server resets. Not a single m4 or ak. A friend did find an ak in a helo crash but that was it. Why is nothing spawning still? This game is supposed to be based in a semi modern era and on a map with multiple military camps and bases. Yet we are still stuck with break action rifles, shotguns, and the occasional sks. I'm not asking for loot to be plentiful but can we be atleast a little more realistic and reasonable here. The amount of searching we have done and time invested for none of us to find an m4 is a little ridiculous. I thought duping has been fixed with this server hopping fix?

Have any of you guys found player bases, tents, barrels etc? What are some common locations you found them? I'm not looking for server information. Just curious of what locations you may run across some camps. I used to find a bunch in certain areas but since I've been playing on xbox I rarely find anything. I assume most xbox players just bury their stashes now.

Without a doubt. But what about the public servers? You can't transfer your character over from private servers. So all these guys running around on 60 person servers must have stashes somewhere

Last I read was 50 days or so but I dont know. All loot on a player, in stash, and on ground are counted towards the loot limit. It's a flawed system overall and needs to be fixed.

Stashes are a great idea but are very overpowered for the current game mechanics and flawed loot system. The current loot economy still considered stashed guns as active and will not respawn those weapons. In other words, players that stash multiple identical guns are part of the reason why decent weapons are impossible to find now. Tents and barrels are cool cause you have a chance to find one but the underground stash needs to either be taken out of the game or the loot economy needs to be increased.

I beg a differ. Try a large server. Most people love pvp. And pvp on dayz is vastly different than pubg or bf. Pubg and bf are still very cartoony and arcadish. Dayz offered a much more intense firefight. Add the fact that you lose everything when you die and that gets you more hyped up than any other game on console. I absolutely hate when people on this forum tell others to go play pubg or battlefield instead. There is no comparison. I play with a bunch of vets and we only play dayz for the pvp because it's the most intense of all other games on console.

No, due to underground stashes and people saving multiple identical items. Dupers are A issue, but are by no means the only issue. You all need to stop putting blame on duping and try holding the developers accountable for a flawed loot system

You're right, stashed items should not count towards the total items allowed on a server. People have this fantasy that duping is the main problem. Couldn't be more incorrect. You have players that rush the map after a fresh wipe and gather up all the guns and bury them. Now guess what, a ton of weapons are buried which will not respawn and it had absolutely nothing to do with duping. You also have people with these weapons that join new servers. Add those guns too.

And you're right, they are supposed to be difficult to find.....not impossible. It's a flawed system outside of the duping issue. End of story

Lol No, duping is not as bad as ever. I do not dupe but I know of every current way to do it. It's much harder and time consuming than it used to be. I know guys that have duped in the past and refuse to take the time to do it now. And I can assume many more players feel the same. Also, let's consider the fact that there are only a limited number of weapons on a server. Let's say maybe a total 10 m4s are allowed on the server. You and your buddies jump on right after an update and server wipe. You rush every military location and gather up all the m4s you find. You bury those m4s in underground stashes that are near impossible to find. Let's say you grabbed 5 or 6 total. Now that's 5 or 6 m4s that will not spawn. There are only 5 or 4 left which up to 60 other players will grab up and stash. Now no m4s will spawn until one is lost or ruined. This is just what's on the map. Let's consider people that change servers and come into this particular server with an m4 in hand. That's one more extra that the server detects and wont spawn. If you dont think people are stashing multiple identical weapons then you are nuts. I met up with a guy the other night that had 6 m4s stashed underground. And I know he didnt dupe them. those 6 prevent more from being spawned. Just because you cant understand a basic concept, it doesnt mean that other people are naive.

Cause dupers arent the main issue. People like to take the blame off of the flawed loot system and players stashing an unnecessary amount of weapons and throw that blame into dupers. Duping was an issue but it's not nearly as bad now and takes alot of time and effort to do it.

A lot of you wonder why kids come on this game and enjoy killing on sight or just being A'holes. The core dayz community is toxic and always has been. Full of cry babys. It was when I played on PC and it still is on console.

Pretty sure my initial butthurt post was specifically directed at someone else, considering I qouted them. Yet you felt the need to seek attention by coming up with some fantasy that I was actually upset about people crying when they get killed on sight in dayz. Maybe next time you should consider keeping your mouth shut instead of making up some wild false bullshit and then getting defensive when someone calls you on it. Look at the comment that I qouted and then look at what I said in response to it. There was absolutely no need nor logic in you having to respond to me in the way that you did without looking like an idiot.

They are that rare. People like to blame it solely on duping but that's not exactly the only issue. Tons of kids rush after a server wipe and snag up all the guns and bury them. The loot economy in the game for guns is absolutely trash to begin with and it's a flawed system. They set guns at an already low limit for the server. Then you have a bunch of people snagging them up to bury them all. Ofcourse then you have the occasional duper but duping has become much more difficult and time consuming. Your only bet is to rush to the coast or airbase whenever you here automatic fire and then try to kill someone with an m4 or ak.

Not really. It has been a very fun game for me and my buddies to play at times. However, typically its more aggravating than not. It's still very broken. I still keep it cause I have hope that it will become great. Unfortunately right now you have a slim to none chance of finding a gun better than a shot gun or break barrel rifle. Maybe an occasional mp5 that doesnt help much either I usually play with alot of other vets and we prefer a more realistic and milsim type of game. Dayz offered that for a while but now it just got dumb with the loot issue and bugs. People blame duping but the issue is that they made guns more rare in general and kids also rush after a server wipe and bury all the guns they find before anyone else has a chance to get some. Duping only part of the issue.

"Sore butt" yet you cry when people kill you in a video game and all I did was say that's dumb ahaa. Ok kiddo

Cute meme. Still doesnt pertain to me. Some of you kids are crying when people kill you in a survival video game and using quite the hateful language. All I said was perhaps the game isnt for you and you need something a bit more G rated. I mean you can take that as butthurt if you want if it helps feel better. I just wish some of you would come to realize that it's people like you are the reason alot of gamers enjoy killing on sight. Just sayin.

I'm well aware of this. Which is why they either need to get rid of hidden stashes or up the number of loot. Its absolutely BS that people take all those guns and hide them in underground stashes in the woods. Tents or crates in a player base it fine with me, but if there is going to be underground loot then they either need to get rid of that those or up the number of guns on a server.

Funny I wasnt whining when the game first came out and there was still a reasonable amount of firearms on the deck.

Except I'm not butthurt? 👍
