Thanks for the replies but I looted a crowbar and it did not solve my problem. Do the stairs have to be in place to the roof? I don't think the guy in the video had his stairs up. This sucks. 😞
-
oh lawd... I'll have to go get one then. I did not see any point to looting one. I will start wall/watchtower and store the wood in the pre-build. I think that gets flag protection. Thanks.

sounds like cholera, but I don't know how you infected yourself. how many water containers do you have? is it possible one of them is infected from a prior hunting session... or you might have forgot to disinfect? You fine until you rotate your drinking bottles.. then you get sick? I keep a lot of water bottles at my base, I don't like having to worry about trips to a well.

Hi, You know those tall really apartments that are all over the map? All the ones I have been in so far have a break in the stairs around the 9th floor. Is it possible to get on the roof of one of those? When I try to jump to the other side it seems the developers put an invisible fence in the way. My character attempts to vault over the invisible fence then falls down to the stairs below. ?? Thanks.
-
ok, next time I get in one I'll try again. It seemed like there was an invisible barrier. I make it past the break in the stairs on the first level with no issues. Its the top floors that are preventing me from going to the roof.

I mentioned this in the forum before and I will likely bring it up in the future if they don't fix it. Why are we allowed to see who is online on the server we play on? I play from an xbox. We already have this feature for our friends. The only people this benefits is our enemies. Enemies will use this to learn the hours you play. They use this feature to base camp you, raid you while offline, murder you when you come back on. Why do we need this feature? What does it add that benefits us? Since my prior post about this issue one of my bases was raided. The raider used the who's online feature to send me chat requests. I did not bother joining his chat and he kept sending invites. Please remove this feature from the game. Thanks.

Kuru giggles and a permanent limp.. it does sound like he needs to be taken out to the pasture. I don't understand the point of the splint if you can't recover from your injury. I guess it let me limp back to where I could save my stuff. Now I need to figure out how to blow my brains out. And while we are talking about Kuru. I was starving to death and ran across two human meat steaks, not brains. I ate them, and in less than a day I was giggling like a fool. By most Doctor's estimations it takes more than 10 years for Kuru to develop. Sometimes MUCH longer. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12094094/ 'Collinge and colleagues attempted to characterize the incubation period of Kuru by studying cases identified between 1996 and 2004. They argue that the ritual of cannibalism was virtually eliminated by 1960, so that cases appearing in the study period would have a prolonged minimum incubation period. Eleven cases were identified in the study period, all born well before 1960. The minimum incubation period for these cases ranged from 34-41 years, with a likely incubation period of 39-55 years.' https://www.reliasmedia.com/articles/121518-how-long-is-the-incubation-period-for-prion-diseases But hey, its just a game right.

Doc, will I ever run again? or are my dreams of playing in the post apocalyptic NFL (where they don't kneel like they do when they're blowing the owner) gone forever? My leg just hasn't been the same since that splint came off.

I'm still fairly new too. I get "You have been kicked" when the server reboots. They reboot the official servers every 2 or 3 hours (I think). If you try to log in while the server is rebooting it will kick you too. Watch the lower left of your screen and it gives a server restart message. The system counts down, when it says 2 minutes until restart its going to restart. Once it shuts down give it about 5 minutes before you try to get back on, should be fine.

Far as I know a leather repair kit and duct tape still repair boots. Not sure about a field vest. I am guessing sewing kit and duct tape but not sure.

This last patch has definitely taken away from the experience. I currently regret encouraging two friends to purchase this game. There is a noticeable amount more lag. The '15 second load' screen now takes a minute or so. I've suffered a mysterious disconnection. I get hung up going over fences more. I still get stuck in doorways. We lost all the loose tools/guns at our one base due to the unannounced new changes. I don't care if they have vehicles in the game at all, it seems they are one of the things that has trouble rendering in and increase lag. I would like them to add a reload button, everything else is fluff. Just fix the game please.

ah, you've visited my base

Broke my leg! I did healed it, but I can't run or jump!?

Loot some Perc30s and Meth, you'll be able to do back flips. -
I don't know how to say this diplomatically. The base building feature of this game needs to be replaced with something that works. You can spend more than a week gathering resources for building your base. It is difficult to find a location that will allow you to place 3+ walls that can't be boosted over between the invader and your goodies. You can't really re-enforce the walls. Often times you can't place walls where it makes sense and the enemy can remove your barbed wire easier than you can install it. Those ladders that go through a hole in the roof.. you can't build a hatch, or floor, to cover them? You can't cover windows over wall height but they can boost through them? come on. If you attempt to bury stuff they'll use a known exploit, find it, and dig it up. So, unless you hold your loot on your character its not safe. Alternatively, I would be perfectly happy if they placed a limit on secure storage space per account (say 1000) and completely got rid of base building. We could use something like a fence kit to place the storage access area. (limit 1) It could non-intrusive/visible to other players as not to clutter the map. Just a point on the map where you can access additional storage.

I don't understand why we cant make our own structures with a roof? can't make a lockable hatch for the floor/roof, can't make a watch-tower that has walls on all 4 sides. Can't add layers of re-enforcement to our walls/gates. The entire system sucks.

I have not seen the apple at 100% full since the update. You are telling me if I sit down and eat it will eventually be completely white?
-
You get hungry a lot more often too, I don't like that. Not because its 'hard' but because its annoying and unrealistic to have to eat every 5 or 10 minutes. I also don't like the fact the apple/bottle icons appear partly full when you are completely full. I thought those icons were a percentage expression of your level of satiation? They are messing with my ocd. lol

How it promotes realism, how it benefits us, to show who is online? Once someone knows where your base it at all this does is make it easy for them to 1. raid you when you go offline, 2. learn the hours you usually play, 3. base camp you when you are online. I, for one, would like this changed. Thanks.

an update for anyone who might have been curious: For me, the game used to show my character in all his gear when I logged on. After I selected the server it showed me one more time right before I entered the world. Now it shows a random fresh spawn. I am guessing it does this for everyone else as well? This is why I thought we had the server wipe, or my character somehow died offline.
-
How often has this game experienced server wipes of characters and property? I joined the official server to avoid this issue.
-
I was playing when the patch was pushed down. The game kicked me. I did some real world stuff. When I came back it was almost time for me to go to work. I logged in to check out the patch and I had a fresh character. I assumed we had a wipe. I was a bit disheartened and turned off the xbox. I guess he died somehow. edit- its possible I was on the other server tab. when the server list came up empty I remember flipping over to see if anything was there. I might have forgot to flip it back. I'll be home in about 4 hours and I guess I will find out then what happened, if anything, to my bases.

Bicycle.. Bicycle.. Bicycle.. but seriously, don't you think it might make the game too easy if bikes were readily available? I love the idea of being able to craft a bow and arrows though..

There is a way for people to easily locate your buried loot. I was using buried dry bags. If base building is not Dayz why did they add base building? the flag permanence feature? A problem that would seem simple to address in the current system. Allow players to determine which side the wire/lock goes on a gate. Sometimes it is difficult to place the fence kit. The only place it will allow you to put it interferes with access to the lock. This is a problem I have encountered numerous times and it makes no sense to me. It detracts from the game. Please address this issue. Something that would be nice to have a friend mentioned: The ability to paint or otherwise tag/mark walls, doors, and such. We are sharing a base and he wants to identify his room. I can see where this would be useful in numerous different applications. Maybe it would create too much lag? The ability to post notes to provide information, warnings, offers, greetings, etc, would also be nice.
