JoeyB123 6 Posted October 3, 2020 This might just be a glitch but I'm going at a gate lower panel with a pikaxe gone from pristine to badly damaged used 3 rolls of duct tape and.. Gate is still showing green pristine? I had issues before where even though the animation of hitting and woodchips flying off was on the bottom the top panel would take damage but.... Since the update yeah my melee seems to be achieving nothing what gives? (this is console BTW but wondering if anyone else has experienced it) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YeedMyLastHaw669 17 Posted October 30, 2020 Shoot it, blow it up, melee ain't gonna do jack in good enough time and it costs a good bit of tape and stones to fix your tools. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tonyeh 454 Posted October 31, 2020 The strength of barriers is ridiculous at the moment. I wasted 5 grenades and an axe trying to get through a barrier to a shed I found. Barely scraped it. It's pointless even bothering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gandhi's flip flop 6 Posted October 31, 2020 It takes over 800 hits to destroy lower wall and frame with axes or pickaxes. Way longer with other tools. Base buildings takes so much effort and time so it must also take a lot of effort and time to break in. It is good now compared to old pointless system.

VodkaFish 38 Posted November 1, 2020 (edited) I'm fairly new to the game but a very experienced OG (original/old gamer). I have a few bones to pick with Dayz's building system, and a few questions, at the moment. Damage the build can take is the least of my issues. Why do I need to place a huge wall to cover a small window? Why can't I place fence kits overtop, or intersecting, each other? I just built 2 bases, both with multiple walls and a watchtower. Why don't watchtowers come with an option to complete the 4th wall/gate? Why do I have to place it? Why when I try to place the gate does it not let me get within 6 inches+ of the watchtower? I've seen where exploiters look through the crack to gain access to the back of your fence. You would think this would be something the devs have considered? The fence kit went crazy, spinning around like the second hand of a clock experiencing a time warp. again, why can't these items overlap? It was infuriating, and ultimately impossible, to place that fence/gate where I wanted. I had to compromise and that is not something I like doing as I now have no confidence in the security of my base. Why do I have to leave a gap at the top of a fence in a door opening of an existing structure? Its silly not to be able to adhere FLUSH to what your are building to and adjust the height as needed. I'd be willing to pay 2, even 3x, the resources to have a better end result. I am an xbox user. How do I remove regular wire from a gate to return it to a wall? how do I remove barbed wire that has been installed? I don't get a prompt with pliers equipped. When I want to get rid of a gate/fence the frame stays behind and I don't get an option to remove it? How is this done? Why are there some buildings that are completely open you can't place a fence kit down in? Are certain buildings intentionally protected? It looks like they don't want you to be able to make some areas secure. It is like they want the bases to be worthless. oh, and I've been murdered by invisible barbed wire once already.
