not enough sakhal servers 20 man que for every single xbox server last night

the reason i have 3 identical posts is because it kept getting flagged for moderation approval and i would edit and try again the mod just decided to approve all 3 i guess

i wouldnt be shitting up the forum all day if it was up yet

The list goes on. But more importantly I also want to know, why? Is it to reach a larger audience? the recent changes make the time investment to get set up way too much even for somebody who works part time. is it to punish larger clans and pvp focused players because it feels like a large nerf to that playstyle. my theory is that its just the same entropy that slowly destroyed all of my other favourite games, battlefield, fallout, halo etc. company's just hiring the wrong people who didn't understand the original vision, people who don't play a-lot of video games and have no refined taste for the art. People advocating radical changes so they can leave their mark on something famous. the lack of communication, or taking feedback, the shill campaign with insider access for all the streamers making sure they wouldn't criticize frostline, or risk losing access and views. The playerbase themselves not being able to play for entire days multiple times in the last few weeks... The whole thing stinks I want to know why this happens to every game I love. dayz was literally the last game I truly loved anymore. it was the last game i could turn on every single day and not get bored. Ive bought this game for 2 of my friends and bought Livonia twice also. just to spread this game and support it. i tell everybody about this game.. i should have ordered a pizza for $40 last night instead of whatever that experience was.

for me its been a slow creep of changes that have sucked the fun out of the game for the last year. - fires take longer to heat you up, you burn and lose health way before you gain a heat buff - the dry mouth sounds are disgusting and agitating during a situation thats already intense, with no way to turn them off - the bloody screen affect is stupid, thank god i turned this off, very un-immersive - the spawn change means friends with geared players cant meet up on a server without hours of running to meet up. we used to just server hop until we met in cherno city or something. sometimes you have to move serves because of low population at night etc. - the spawn change for freshies spawning together makes it way too predictable if your going to see people in citys. as someone who bases in cherno its really un-immersive. oh and now every freshy is on the same path so every medical is looted because of the changes to sickness and everyone starting every life with a cold. - the changes to food not giving water are super limiting to player movement and ability to explore, its very un-immersive to die of dehydration in less than an afternoon in game time. we have no time to explore and makes the whole game a water quest. not fun - the inventory capacity changes seem arbitrary and punitive. you can carry less food and water when you need them most. I already had to carry 10 steaks, a canteen and 3 sodas to survive one day. my favourite activity was having picnics in military zones waiting for players. now my time limit on that activity is minuscule

yeah i think the grass render distance cuts out a bit short before the snow textures can load in. its not the greatest looking up close but anything over 50 feet away is just blocky and obviously square

I agree its not a challenge, its just gonna make collecting what you need to accomplish anything slower. its artificial difficulty meant to slow you down having to make 2 trips looting instead of one isnt fun to overcome, i didn't learn any new skill or overcome some crazy adventure. if I'm looting for build supply or car parts I'm playing stealth anyway so spending more time doing that means less player interaction. when I go out doing "chore looting" I'm not doing any of the fun things that make people play dayz. (being a cannibal raider) if they really wanted to nerf the amount of ammo and crap people carry they should just increase its weight

revert everything just give us bug fixes and the new map everything else about this update suckz

suck my dick ur shit at dayz anyway

stfu they cheaped out renting servers and this is the result. no excuse, stop being a bootlicking smart ass redditor

need it or keep it?

started on console and fell in love with the official experience bought on pc and was kidnapped by invisible rubber slug shooting racists in cherno, had grenades spawn at my feet and explode and it happened like once a day on pc official servers. tried community servers and the experience was a mixed bag due to fake player counts, unraidable steel bases, downloading weird ass mods, currencies/ traders etc said fuck it and went back to xbox. actually bought a whole new xbox because i sold the first one lol. as an official player its perfect, now that duping is gone/ hard enough to do that most people dont its not an issue anymore. the only thing thats pissing me off is the frequency of wipes and nerfs with every update, but thats a design choice not a platform problem. I will be sticking to xbox and as a side note xbox players are very social, its impossible not to get invited to a clan on official if you stay on one server and they recognize your username. probably because of how easy it is to join partys in game etc. fuck hackers, i dont have gear fear but after a 8 hour super adventure to have it end like that is enough of a experience ruiner that i would have quit dayz entirely if it wasnt available on console, because i dont like community servers

ALL THE STREAMERS AND TUBERS GET EARLY ACSESS TO THE NEW MAP BUT OUR ASSES DONT EVEN GET TO PLAY THE OLD SHIZ THANKS

not only that but not having any honest feedback or critique for two weeks, all the streams and videos are basically just ads. streamers who got early access aren't gonna wanna talk shit because they want to preserve insider access. i know im always negative on this forum, and im excited to try the map, but its the duty of the tenth man to disagree as a litmus test

total fucking losers working at bohemia they inherited this game, none of the people working there now had the original vision, they clearly dont give a fuck this is just a job for them, fat fucking losers

total fucking bullshit i build 2 small bases and a fuck ton of stashes and now they wipe again they can wipe my ass bro

had the same experiences on the experimental build on xbox combined with the water shortage it would make getting sick a death sentence without meds, but all meds were looted because everybody spawns together and gets sick shits totally fucked

i think duping exists because nobody wants to go to static toxic zones

i really like funding a faction that has settled in and got comfortable somewhere, start a bunch of hidden stashes near the base and wage asymmetrical warfare by constantly patrolling they're land, if your a good shot all theyre loot should slowly filter into your stashes

my iq is 125 and i wanna stick that m16 up my pants bro

this update fucking sucks, just stop nerfing everything cant carry anything, always sick, no water from cooked foods means going to a fountain like 20 times a day, bottles are not common enough for that problem, new spawn system means we can all link up in a city, kill ourselves 50 times waiting for a town spawn to change. have I had any fun this update? No not finding any canned food anymore, medicals always looted cause players are constantly sick. me and my friends on experimental have had like 0 fun, we were all sick looted 3 northern citys and found nothing in the medical, our run ended in a bunch of "fuck dayz" and suicide. really fucking ruining the game especially for groups, annoying as fuck survival mechanics way too brutal. Everybodys always sick and thirsty, i only ate and drank clean food and water and still wound up throwing up black and dying of thirst they haven't made any changes to encourage players they've just made getting somehere as a group really tedious. i dont know what they want, but theyre sure slowing down and making the game boring as fuck to anyone with a job 0 fun on update 1.26, i cant believe how fucking stupid the direction of this game is going in. we had no fun, stuck in a loop of being sick and finding water. stuck in a loop being a freshie, the impression im getting is the devs hate pvp, they want everybody to be a freshie forever struggling for survival, slowing the game down changing what it is into something super fucking boring with no banditry or clans

something me and the boys have noticed is that we puked black gunk after eating dried fruit. the sickness stayed and gave us all salmonella or whatever makes you eat in one or two bites everything else was clean water and cow steaks

are you solo, were in a group of 4 and finding we cant get anywhere because of sickness and thirst, we cant find enough bottles chlorine and steaks dont give any water, plus everyone is throwing up. it ground our gameplay to a halt and caused some rage quitting. all these players have played for 3 years know all the rules but are randomly sick and thirsty all the time now

months later i still think the spawns should be randomized again and only allow you to spawn together if a player is on your friends list or something the same thing just happened to me tonight, i tried to meet some friends and after 3 hours running the coast to find the one geared friend my friends just got tired and logged off. spawning in the same town over and over just sucks and ruins the immersion. i know im not the only one as theres always so many dead frieshies under bridges who have killed themselves trying to spawn somehwere else. the spawn system should be reverted imo
