Hi folks, I'm looking for a populated, (close to) vanilla, first person PS5 community server for me and my three friends. Ideally first person. - I do not wish to play with players who use alt-accounts - I do not wish to play with players who crouch lean into the walls to see through them I have lost all desire to put the time into this game to fall victim to the increasing popularity of the above glitches so many players on the Playstation Offical servers use. I haven't played this game in months and I miss it. Does anyone have any recommendations for a lost soul like me? Thanks.

Shouldn't be able to build in it, or log out in it. It was inevitable it was going to be a horrible experience without these measures, especially with the prevalence of alt. accounts and people no-life camping it. Personally I'm back on Chernerus until they make some changes, if they do. Gave up on it.

How can you have you designed the bunker knowing it would turn into this. Horrible game design. Players looking through the walls, logging in behind each other on alts, logging in/out loot cycling the NVG room... Bunker play on console is an absolute shit-show. I feel sorry for the legit players who are still playing in absolute ignorance to this mess, putting in the hours, trying their hardest to get into the bunker. Sort it out, please.

I can't wait... 🤣

I think shooting through the wall has been fixed, I've not seen that for a while now. I'm not talkng about the logging in seeing through the wall, as annoying as that it. I'm talking about the other method you can do on demand, that DefectiveWarrior seems to allude to.

My experiences are on the PS5. Referred to as x-ray? Whitewalling? I think. More of a warning to players who don't know this is happening. Be wary of fighting PVP sweats in towns and military bases. I'm regularly encountering players who are camping in particular buildings/behind walls which offer the advantage of being able to see through the walls. The L shape military barracks is one of them. The barn with the sliding doors and the three wooden levels inside is another. Corrugated metal perimeter fences. These are the favourites I've noticed that seem to offer the most advantages. There are more, including a few residential buildings. Look out for gun barrels poking through the walls. Gas grenades are the best counter I've found, (thanks for adding them) or just run away and leave them to it. It seems to be getting almost normalised in its regularity. Conversations with these players tend to amount to 'everyone does it' with very little regard for fair play. Good luck out there.

So this isn't a problem on PC? It's not possible to do?

Still a problem on PS5 after 1.19 patch.

It's horrific. I've been playing a long time too and I've recently discovered it. I don't play with scummy players so wouldn't naturally have encountered it that way. It has absolutely ruined the integrity of any gun fight in a town, especially. It's rife. Basically, there's a technique to press yourself into a wall and see through it. The bonus being, all the map assets don't load either, so you can see players unhindered through everything as far as you can see. It's common for one player in a group to relay positions to their pals and mop up everyone in the area. It's hard to spot but there are tell tale signs. Now I know how to do it, it's very easy to see other people doing it and how common it is. I wish I never discovered it. The cat is well and truly out of the bag. It now needs attention to get it fixed.

Has this issue been addressed in 1.19 at all? PS5 official is horrific right now.

As have I. That's not the problem. It's the players that load their bases with different account characters so they essentially use them as multiple lives when they get killed. Console doesn't have any means of stopping it.

PS5 got an optimisation patch not long after release as it was locked at 30FPS as per the PS4. I don't think Xbox S/X had that problem on their release. Over the past year and subsequent updates though, the PS5 performance has noticeably suffered again. It's better than it was on release, but there's a lot of random stuttering/FPS drops and crashing. As I understand, the Devs confirmed not too long ago that they have no intention of a true next gen (PS5/Xbox X/S) version in the pipeline.

😂 Accusation of someone ripping off a design of ripped off design. Excellent. I'm quite sure Bohemia aren't paying Osprey licence fees for their 'Taloon' design for a start.

DayZ is not intuitive. Any new player will find themselves heading for the wiki for many reasons before being confused about the behavior of the body armour. You eat raw rice FFS lol. When I first started playing, I intuitively tried to boil it.

Yea, but no one cares about that. Only the guns and armour are held against 'realism'. Didn't you know?

A plate carrier can tank two shots. I can run to Zeleno from spawn and get a plate carrier within 15 minutes. How common should a stab vest be? Right, so you know that is likely to happen, so don't shoot them in a building? That's what I do anyway. Or, shoot them in the head. The uncon system needs work for sure. I'd rather see the plate carrier tank more shock damage from a rifle shot and just knockback/stagger, buffing the plate carrier, rather than nerfing the stab vest.

How are you having such an issue with the stab vest? You shoot them and when they are unconscious you can kill them very easily. What are you having trouble with exactly?

Agreed. The game does need at least one long range capable (bolt?) military rifle and scope. I've always found it weird that the hunting rifles/mosin are end game because you find them so soon. Same thoughts about the CR527 and Pioneer, what's the point? I don't bother with them. I wouldn't mind them moving the Mosin, Blaze, Savanna and Tundra inland and bringing the max spawn rate down to make them rarer. Utilise the CR527 and Pioneer more for mid-game.

The best snipers in the game are obtainable in low tier areas though? There needs to be a counter within those areas. Being an easy one-shot to the body by a pesky sniper hanging around the coast is OP in a game that already punishes the player so hard for dying IMO. I like the stab vest as it is. They should change it's name though as stab vest is misleading. How do you counter the stab vest? Stalk, reposition, be selective as to when you take your shot. K.O them in a field for example. Or, get a head shot. Nerfing the stab vest would only benefit the brain dead bush wookie strat, as far as I can see. I think there needs to be some decent protection within the first 15-20 minutes of spawning, before you can get a Plate Carrier. That's just my opinion though.

It's a popular back pack. I've seen the AKM is many games too.

The hunger system isn't 'realistic'. Characters don't even need to sleep in this 'hardcore game' or go to the toilet. It's a game.

It's only OP against players who sit in a bush 200m away with a scoped rifle. It doesnt't stand up in a fire fight against anything automatic at all. Just because you can't one-shot a guy eating his beans while he's looting doesn't make it OP. The stab vest makes dirty snipers think about their follow-up and puts the onus onto them to at least take SOME risk when approaching for the kill. Can't live in that bush forever folks, take some risk.

I suppose the issue is, or my issue specifically is, I thought I knew how the loot system worked, and up until recently it seemed to work as predicted and I could find what I wanted quite reliably. I've never had a problem with the CLE in any of its incarnations, as I've know what to expect of it. As it stands now though, in a low population vanilla server, I know could fill a barrel full of M4s by the end of the day, yet I haven't found anything of note at a helicrash for a long time. That leads me to believe the balance is off. I actually preferred it when everything was rare because stashes counted towards max counts.

Remember to go into Rify and get an M4 or AKM each time, everytime. Sometimes both in one trip! Yea, helis are almost pointless.

I don't understand how, even in an empty/very low pop official server, the heli loot can be so bad. None of the loot is effected by players hoarding any more, so it doesn't make a lot of sense to me why NVGs are still so hard to find, when 5 are allowed to spawn, and there's 2 people online for example. And it's not just NVG, add LARs, AUG etc to your chances and finding nothing good seems quite unlikely. Something feels off to me.
