I'm a new player to Dayz, just checked my xbox stats and it says I have 1d 8h playtime. I've followed Dayz for years watching streams and friends play on PC and I know this game is far from perfect but it always has been my goal to play this game. Obvioulsy when it was originally released on Xbox I waited for reviews on the game and as I expected (much like Pubg) another PC game badly ported over, I gave the game a miss expecting it to never be fixed (remembering how long it took for the PC game to be playable) until a few days ago I saw the game was on Sale, I took the plunge and bought it. See the KOS, I don't mind, the laggy zombies, I don't mind. The fact that in my region (EU) there is only two FPP servers, I don't mind. It's a survival game, and loot should be scarce I understand that. Even though food, melee weapons and even pistols are fairly easy to come by, AR's on the other hand. I have yet to see one, even hear one, do they even exist, I have literally ran around the majority of the map, looted next to all of the main military locations, even been alone on a server after it reset, with no prevail. I have every attachment under the sun stashed. I understand about the dupers, and spawn rates, i'm not just blindly stating there are no AR's. But seriously, where the fuck are they, as new player, it's incredibly hard to want to continue to play a game I had so much hope for, sounds like half the community actually want help and the other half are either dupers or too dumb to realise calling out devs won't get them a response. As a new player, and a fresh outside perspective on this whole thing it sounds like having player locked servers available would be good, would for sure solve a lot of issues. Of course you can't player lock all the servers, if you don't like that play on another server, pretty simple! Surely the easiest way to stop the dupers and actually bring back the joy of being able to actually find decent weapons would be full server wipes across the board. Yes people will dupe again, yes people will loose everything. But at the end of a day it's a survival game, get to your grind and earn your stuff. Sick of dupers, why not join a player locked server as mentioned above. Then with the non player locked servers surely it'd be easier to spot the dupers? I'm not saying i'm a game dev, or I have all the answers to the problems, maybe nobody is even going to bother to read this, I just want this game to be enjoyable, you know, I payed money to play a game with a concept I enjoy and I'd love to see it actually playable. P.s. The dev's lack of communication is clearly upsetting the community, hence all the hostility, but if we stop being dicks and typing mean things then maybe they'd actually give us some useful information rather than 'we're aware and working on it'. Speak to them like you'd like to be spoken to and maybe things might start to change. Signed, MrBJGreen - one new lonely naked who just wants an AK but is stuck with a can of Spite 😉

I understand that and i'm aware that across the lifespan of this game PC and Xbox there has been a total lack of communication with the players but I still feel that acting like a bratty child on a forum won't make them listen, maybe they won't ever listen, but if people keep trash talking them then of course they won't tell us anything. I've played a lot of games where dev's don't talk to the fanbase and a lot where they do all the time, some dev's just don't either have the time or effort to talk to their players, which is wrong, it's like a waiter not asking for your order and just bringing you some random food, you can't please everyone, but in this case it seems they aren't pleasing anyone! how do i tag somebody in a post? i try'd @bent.toe but not sure if that worked :L

@FJinn I'm merely saying that I should of encountered at least one AR on my travels, but due to dupers messing up spawn rates that is impossible. And that i'm a new player who will quickly lose interest if the issue isn't resolved. I did answer my own question, I even stated that and said I know the reason.. just seems that nothing is actually being done about the dupers and if something is being done than a lack of communication on the Devs side isn't exactly filling me with faith for the future of this game. I tried meeting new people but most people just shoot you in the face, naked or not :L
