These changes ruined everything for me (xbox)

[DayZNumberAlt 2]

First of all, I’m a regular on server 4434, why would you move it to sakhal and ontop of that make it a 1st person server? It was one of the most known high pop servers on the xbox. I’ve been a DayZ player since 2012, I understand that the game is supposed to be updated regularly making it better, but this update ain’t it.

lowering the slots for clothes and backpacks was a big fat L.

 

I know many won’t give a shit about me but I’m quitting as of today because of these changes. It ruins my vision for the game, and I’ve been around for decades playing different games, I know when a game goes downhill, and this is it.

i keep trying sakhal but can only stand to play for a hour or so, backtracking for water and carrying multiple bottles. constant fires, its just boring. im just running from fountain to fountain instead of actually exploring

the change in server names was annoying too cause they used to be batched by region, now they aren't. a mild annoyance but it just seems like a theres no common sense at behomiea anymore, like thats such a small QOL improvement... how dead at the wheel are they, that something so small but annoying changes?

like does nobody working there PLAY the game? i don't think so, not like us. they need based and grounded playtesters. and they need to stop taking advice from youtubers and redditors

just no common sense anymore, every change lately has been frustrating not challenging, engaging or fun.

Ditch the Hunter clothing if you were using it. It's gone from best to low insulation.

Bullshit capacity slots too, are they deliberately trying to annoy people? If so it appears to be working.

I agree on most every point made here.  There are other problems as well.  I went to drop a pristine backpack to one of my other players. My brother. I waited the fucking 5 minutes and when he spawned in the back pack was gone. Ammo boxes despawning from my cache sites, They have effectively stopped transfers from character to character. This sucks out loud.  My game play style has been eradicated.  They want you to build bases and multiple cache sites that stay on the server when you log off. That way you can lose all your stuff. The carry weight sucks, The chance of dying from disease has gone up in a big way. I spend most of my time now trying not to get wet, drying out, building fires, This game has become a joke. It is not fun to play anymore. If I wanted a game where staying alive was all about not getting sick ?????  I would like it. But I hate it now. I am playing far less now than I was before. I log on and its fucking raining , I log off and still get fucking wet. Its a joke.

I agree , I wasted a lot of time getting hunter gear only to find out it sucked like the rest of the update.  The field jacket so far is the only jacket that offers best insulation.  Another way to force you to go to the military sites. I loved being a hunter gatherer , lone wolf explorer and now?  Im wet, sick, dead, cold and not having ANY fun.

The insulation is based on type of hunter gear. The autumn and winter hunter gear is still really good. Also the despawning thing is because youre on a commmunity server. The despawning rates are up to the owners. On official bags last 8 hours. Also i dont get where you get the idea that you need to build stashes and bases now? Also youre dying from disease because youre cold and starving. You have to make fires in sakhal to stay warm. Also your wet because when you log out your character stays on for 15-30 seconds which is why youre wet when you log in. oh, and a tip, when you get wet, you can wring out your clothes to damp (10-5% wetness). So its not a death sentence as long as you do that.

Were you on official or community? 
Yesterday, on an official server, I left things on the floor and they stayed there for hours. On official content, backpacks in usable condition stay for 8 hours. 
I suspect you were on a community server where despawn settings can be changed by the server owner.

The carry weight sucks

In 1.25 you could carry over 1272 Kg on you and jog with it in difficult steep terrain infinitely as long as you eat food and drink water.
At this point, the reduction in our ability to bear weight is just one small element that is consistent and in keeping with the official description of the content, which is gritty, authentic and unforgiving.

Can you not break ice on ponds? Do purification tablets even spawn or do those not purify the volcanic ash like what's found in snow?

i havent seen any way to break ice, the only safe water is springs and the only fishing is coastal

the snow needs to chelating tabs to be safe to drink, chlorine tabs are only useful if you find a half full bottle spawn and let it defrost. 

[boggle 49]

That's really stupid. If you have an axe you should be able to break the ice to get water. And have the devs ever heard of ice fishing?

use a map....once u drink and have a bottle...ur set for quite a while...stop bitching and l2p.

Most of you here bitching about quite small changes...like a few less inventory spaces ruined the entire game for you?? how? u cant be a lootgoblin anymore ?

[Riddick_2K 174]

I saw on the "iZurvive" map, that the springs are only in the "Tier 1 & 2" part of the map... and only in the main part. No "islands".
Does it rain sometimes or just snow?
Can you get rainwater with a barrel like the other maps? Maybe by collecting snow that falls from the sky before it settles on the ground?

yes, the springs are only on the main island, but all around.

i tested the barrels - they dont catch snow/water. there is no rain on sakhal.

i spent quite some hours on the military island ("italy") and didnt get the need for any springs there. i had a cooking pot with filled water - used to boil the fish and it gave plenty of hydration.

big fan of the reduction of inventory slots. i can still carry a bunch of crap with me. even assault rifles still fit in the big backpacks and are easy to access with hotkeys. devs should go further 🙂

Go further and ruin the game even more? Don't you think they've done enough so far (I don't want to make a long list of absurdities and unrealisticities of the game)... since so many approve in the name of "realism". Let's be a little objective, come on... 🙁

Personal opinion more than legitimate... but I don't agree it, and I also consider it substantially wrong when a "single" (without any other modifications in the background) reduction of slots is defined as "realistic".
It is not realistic to carry an SKS with a bayonet hidden in a backpack, but it is NOT realistic to reduce the space of the backpack for this... because then, the reduction, is also reflected on everything else. In a game where everything is consumed as if it were butter and the doll eats as if it had a tapeworm in its stomach (just to name some of the worst unrealistic absurdities).
And in any case it is a video game, and the programmers "do not want" to make it "realistic" (I can cite where it was stated, if necessary). It will NEVER be realistic... let's hope that it becomes at least "playable" without adding or worsening the absurdities that are already too present.
To simplify:
If you tell me that you appreciate this change because it makes the game more difficult: I can understand it even if I don't agree with it.
If you tell me that you appreciate this change because it makes the game more "realistic": I DON'T understand it and I don't agree it!

😧

Anyway, have a nice day... 😉 🙂

So a map mainly oriented to PvP. Or rely on the modified community servers.
If they had made it "neutral", with both possibilities, in my opinion... even if PvE players are in the minority... it would have been better.
And I bet that the impossibility of bringing any object to the bottom of the dinghy was done on purpose...
As soon as I have some time I will open a ticket on Feedback B.I. but I bet I will guess the answer, knowing them for a few years... 😕

They didnt lower inventory slots to make it realistic (although that is a benefit). They lowered inventory slots so you actually have to think about what you take, and you cant just hoard every survival item you see and along with other stuff like morphine and epi pens. 

Again, the argument that a game doesn't have to be realistic so therefore when devs lead toward realism its bad. I know i dont have to explain to you why that doesnt work. If there is another argument supporting that, i have not heard it from you yet. no reason to get angry with that.
