I may. How much game software is written natively for 4k (or was not) was the reason I went with the xbox last time. Maybe there are more titles out now that are created to take advantage of that muscle.

They did not steal my pc. I used to be a computer technician so I still play with machines. I built an MX Linux box on an old computer to surf the web, watch movies, and use email. Even in this old machine I have an SSD as the boot drive. Maybe he could tell the pc was not worth much, doubt it. More than likely he did not like the size of the tower. I bought my xbox-s new for $250 if memory serves me correctly. They are more than that now. I have not priced parts lately but I am guessing I could build a 4k gaming box for under $1.5k. I prefer a mouse/keyboard. I just decided to go cheap a couple years ago. Plus I have a lot of friends on xbox. I have not tried to buy one from craigslist, the pawnshop, or other methods. Mine is probably floating around there somewhere. I have not decided to use homeowners insurance yet. I put in a claim, but depending on what they tell me about the items lost (I do not have receipts for) I may cancel the claim. There is a $500 deductible and they will raise my rates $150 a year for 3 years (they did it last time). That is $950 before they pay a dime. also, still waiting on the construction guy to give me the estimate on the window. He's not sure if he's replacing the window or the glass. I'd prefer the window if we have to use insurance. Its boarded up right now... reminds me of Dayz. lol Make sure he knows you can reload by holding down the Y button. Unload by double tapping Y. I didn't know that when I started, very frustrating.

Thanks guys. I did not suffer a huge financial loss but I have not been able to replace my xbox. They are just not available right now.

I feel the same way about the reload button. I complained about it here for a bit, but no one seemed to know that you held down the Y button on the xbox controller to reload. double tap to unload.

Exactly. We have real lives. I can't live in Dayz, and don't want to. In real life if we were sleeping at our base we'd be there to respond to intruders. In the game we are not. Concessions need to be made to improve the security of bases or the development team should just admit failure and get rid of the base building feature all together. Why did they provide base building? Why do players bother attempting to build a base? because of the illusion of security provided by BI. They've failed us. Some people say you could not have a bomb shelter. Or a sufficiently fortified building. I disagree on both cases. Look at the Vietnamese who dug tunnel systems with hand tools. They used them to transport and store weapons, people, provide shelter, make shift hospitals, etc. It was very difficult to find the entrances. In this game if you bury stuff they use the head lamp glitch to find your stash. Simple solution that will not clutter the map: There should be a feature that hides the entrance your subterranean base. There should be a limit to the number of bases you can own. There should be a storage limit cap. problem solved. You can require resources to build this base. Wood to re-enforce the walls/roof. Pipes to source water, create airflow. A barrel for a fireplace. etc. Come on BI, use some imagination.

Thanks for the heads-up. I hope I can play soon. Someone broke into my house this week, the xbox is one of the things they took. I went on the internet looking for an x or s series and discovered no one has them. I'm hoping for the x as I don't see a point to buying older hardware.

agreed, but you would be able to recognize a person you had seen before. Or one that has been identified by someone else. I don't see you, or anyone else, complaining about the 'who's online' feature. Very realistic, adds so much to the game too. I love having shit eaters email me in a survival game asking me where I'm at, talking trash, or having them use it to stalk me. Great feature.

Poor clothing has a lot to do with starving to death. You burn through your food much faster. You need to find good starter clothing on the coast, like work jumpsuits and fireman's gear (fireman's gear being excellent). A pea coat is good but it gets wet easy. Wearing high insulation / water resistant clothing you are more likely to keep your temperature gauge in the white and burn less food.

6766 is up

That'd be #3. I still play a little.

*Waits for damage control to appear* 1. It is intended to work that way 2. You and the other survivors somehow misused the game which caused this problem 3. People are always nit picking features of the game. There are a lot of other games out there that don't share this feature. I can't understand why you play a game you don't like? 🤦‍♂️

yea, but don't say it's broken, that triggers the apologists.

Waits for Z-apologists to rationalize your problems away. They'll blame it on your xbox, dupers, Trump, or some other boogey man.
