Lol everyone bitching about Sony. Glad someone out there gives a shit if these guys put out a quality product. This just means that there are the same issues with the Xbox patch but their restrictions arent as rigid. Thankfully for all of you Sony might have saved you from getting a shit patch that would have broke more than it fixed......AGAIN! Quit being a bunch of babies. It will come when it comes.

I dont mind servers being policed. But man in my experience it's been negative. That policing turns into militarization sometimes. And if the duping on console is any indication of our community then I dont see private servers necessarily being a good thing. Granted I haven't played on PC in a while but my experience on private hives has been less than desirable. Only time will tell in this case I suppose. 😃

Duping isn't an issue on PC but not because it cant be done. Duping is an actual exploitable issue on PC that just isn't utilized like it is on console. Dont kid yourself for one second thinking that duping is just going to go away on console. And as I said previously, gear stacking and tent stacking is still an unaddressed issue. Yea private servers. Have fun being stuffed in a box and made to play as your admin sees fit. Have fun being banned for being too good or having too much loot stashed or killing/raiding the wrong person. The power private servers give will be abused as it always has been. Private servers are usually only fun when you are looking to play on populated non pvp servers and you want to play the game as your told. That shit isn't for me. People use private servers to do away with pvp and basically other things in the game that they dont like. Even though that is all part of what dayz is about.

Lol. It's funny to see everyone get their hopes up over this next patch and wipes. Yea the wipes will rotate the clock back to 0 and the new features will make duping slower but probably not. They're already duping on PC. The devs themselves have said a true fix to duping is unlikely to ever happen. Let's also not forget about gear stacking. This has not even been addressed that I've seen and doubling down on plate carriers is just as game breaking as duping is. I've been playing dayz since the mod and I'm here to tell you all that this is a speed bump in the cheater duper super highway. This wont stop them. This wont deter them. This will only motivate them to do more. These arent dumb kids that want instant gratification. These are people actively ruining the game on purpose. Because that's how they play this game. It's what they find enjoyable about this game.

1. Are server getting wiped with the new update? If not why? At this point it is necessary and will sync well with the new random spawn mitigation. 2. Are players being wiped as well? Again if not, why? I think the majority at this point want a full wipe and a fresh start with the new update. Why this is starting to look like it wont be the case is baffling. It sounds to me and most others who have read that servers and characters wont be wiped. What's the point of telling legitimate players to move their gear if it will just be wiped? You wouldnt. Makes us believe these things wont happen and the cheater life is being catered to more than legit players.

Wait til server restart. Tents are always effing up like that. Our tents become glitched often and cant retrieve items from them until server restart.

@ImpulZ can we get an answer on this? At this point a simple acknowledgement would suffice..just tell us all to eff off at the very least. Lol

This question keeps getting dodged.

Fake news. They literally state the closing of these specific servers are due to excessive duping. If duping is possible then it doesnt matter if there are only 2 servers, dupers will dupe between them. I doubt queue times are much of a deterrent for dupers either. The combat for duping and ghosting comes with the random spawn mitigation they are implementing for people that change/hop servers. This will honestly only slow the process down. It will hopefully make base building viable as I dont see a way to ghost anymore. None of this even matters without a full character and server wipe however. The loot economies will remain completely f@#!ed and the game will continue being something Dayz was never meant to be.

@ImpulZ hey man can you help us out with a little knowledge. I'm not privy to the above information. Will there be no wipes even with the state of the loot economy????

Back end testing ok. But shutting down servers when there will be a wipe is completely pointless. Especially having people move gear is a headache ESPECIALLY if there will be a wipe that the devs know about. Js. These guys need to be more transparent and communicative with their community. Many people I know and many from my group, myself included, have ceased playing the game anticipating a fresh start with 1.04. No one I know will be back to the game if servers aren't wiped. This is something that needs to be communicated.

What do you mean by disappear? Like you're being raided and trying to move locations to avoid this? Or shit is literally just disappearing from your inventory?????

Why would they tell people to move their gear off servers they are shutting down because of massive duping? Why even shut down any servers if they are going to wipe servers with the update?

Server and player resets to 0 accompanied by the new 1.04 update is necessary. The mitigation of random spawn for server hoppers will probably not stop duping but will slow it down considerably. I also don't see with the new mitigation how ghosting will ever be a thing again. I feel like we dont have all the information yet.

The game in the state it's in just sucks. I love dayZ but this game is just a joke. Especially for the price tag these guys attached to it. Those who are waiting for the things that almost make this game unplayable to be fixed, are kidding themselves. This game has had the same exploits since the PC mod. Zombies still glitch through walls. Vehicles randomly kill you for no good reason other than you were stupid enough to get in one. The loot is constantly glitching in tents, in barrels, on the ground. We constantly have to wait for server reset to retrieve things from tents. Constantly have to log to fix spider arm glitches. 2 head glitches. Damn meatball glitches always happening to one of us for whatever reason. The game net code is trash and pvp is impossible alot of times because the servers lag so hard. After putting over 2000 hours on PC and then playing since release on console I think I'm out. I had some fun most recently with some buddies on console that always wished they could play dayz and now I'm putting this bitch to bed. Hopefully someday someone comes out with an actual true to life survival sim in the same vein as Dayz and does it right. Thanks for all the good times going all the way back to the Rocket days.

On the coast apparently terrorizing fresh spawns. I was near Berezino when 3 dudes in ghillies rolled up on me geared to the teeth. I ran and thought I got away but they must have watched me bed down in a shack. They came to me, wrapped me in duct tape, shut me in and locked the door from outside. They left me to die.....I thought. I wriggled out of my restraints and as I was learning I was locked in they reappeared and shot me through the window. 😵

Useless in grass but great to hide in all the orange brown bushes around the map. Had people stroll right by me, look right at me and just keep on going because ghillie suit = invisibility.

I plan on checking out the update. I like DayZ. Always have. I just dont know if I'm going to continue supporting something that should have been fixed and polished by now. Not to mention the lack of attention to the exploits plaguing both consoles. Got me like 🤔🤔🤔

Couldn't combat logging be prevented if any disconnect caused your character to automatically enter the 15 second cool down timer? You exit the game but your character sits down on the server and persists there for 15 seconds.

The only problem I have with this mitigation is we have friends across multiple servers. We occasionally team up on their servers to loot and raid together. Sometimes we meet up on random servers to make trades with people. This will highly inconvenience continued play with other people we want to play with or even just trade with. How it functions is the real question. How many spawn points will there be? Will we be auto teleported across the map? I mean that in some cases will be as bad as dying as it can take 2+ hours to get somewhere. Will there be a cool down timer? Say if we jump out and wait 5 minutes then jump to our friends sever will we still be punished? We dont server hop in the traditional manner to gear up or ghost. We hop servers to hang out with other people. This sounds like we will be heavily penalized for wanting to play with others.

By no means. You preemptively bowed out on that thread. Im not salty that you lie. I personally think you're salty. Dupers have poisoned you. Made you paranoid. And made you think it's a good idea to lock down the game in the most restrictive manner possible in order to force everyone to play like you want them to. This game is great the way it plays now. The problems are duping and ghosting. Locking the game down is not the solution. Fixing those exploits is the solution. Edit: you think that having 600+ hours only gives you the advantage of knowing the map? That's a hilarious statement and just factually untrue. You know so much more about this game and how it works than someone with 40 hours. That's an advantage. I have 2000+ hours in this game going all the way back to the original mod release on PC. I promise I'm a sight better at this game because of that. I have quite an advantage due to experience over most players. You literally just said you want to lock everyone down into their own zones according to level. "You only meet like minded people and can not walk into a level 50 zone" you want people to play in an echo chamber. You want to take away the freedom players have in this game. All because you're salty about getting wrecked by dupers. You realize this game is built around that freedom? People play this game because you can do and play whatever and however you want. We are all in the same boat when it comes to these exploiters. Seriously sounds like you just want to go play The Division.

Worst idea ever. This game is about freedom and all it sounds like you want to do is restrict players to how you want the game played. People are geared in 10 minutes because of the dupers. Otherwise the game is fine the way it plays. If you dont like it then you're always free to move on to The Division or something. Sounds honestly right up your alley.

Why would you combat log as a fresh spawn?

you and your group are definitley duping. I remember your name. See how easy that is? I can say dumb shit too..

Yes it does need fixing asap. Its breaking the game. I think the devs currently working on a fix behind the scenes. We need a server wipe too. Even without a fix a server wipe would be a temporary solution and fix the loot tables until the dupers catch back up.
