Seen this issue before and apparently doesn’t happen with Xbox 1 x series consoles I run on an Xbox 1 S but even then disconnects are now rare must be fixing something in dev land there. However the theory I’ve been getting is the game is more optimised for newer consoles, not sure how true that is but wouldn’t be surprising if I’m honest

I have also noticed a nerf in supply drop exp as well seems devs got wise o people saving up 200 crates to cash in for easy levels or something but their now next to useless beyond the intial collection exp for the drop and the prizes within. Best way to get exp now is to hunt for the dig spot and gather resources without fighting were possible. I don’t fight in encounters unless I have a headseeker gun 50 exp for kills and a high chance of trading or dying instantly or sneak around looking for dig and looting for consistent exp?

In fairness the devs have tried to prevent teaming by removing the “preparing” notification so people can’t quit out and get forced into games. A step in the right direction but as I said before I’m another thread there’s a workaround for it so it’s still not a resolved issue. Not being a fanboy here what I say that just thought it was worth mentioning. That said I’ve lost passion for the game myself not so much with teasers which I can usually identify and avoid but moreso with the instant headshots and tradekills issue making every weapon in the game lethal and brutal to face. Can use an akm and waste an entire clip but someone can whip 3 rounds out and insta kill me, shotgun sniping, Thompson luck shots and mosin insta kills, list goes on. I have nothing against a lobby grouping out peacefully to get loot if say the modifier is at 300%+.

I agree for higher tier loot this is annoying but that’s part of the risk though I will say I hate gathering ammo automatically it should only auto grab actual loot or consumables. Ammo and drop should be manually collected.

I think this game could take some inspiration from operation flashpoint and old game on pc and Xbox. Resource management in that game means you can only take so much ammo, reloading stores the clip swapped out for later meaning you end up with your last clip being like 5 rounds or something. In game if you took damage to your legs you sprint slower or can’t walk at all if it’s a lot of damage. Arm damage affects aim reticule width and recoil. Simple mechanics from a much older game worked out great. Fingers crossed for it

Don’t like this idea at all, like the thought of inviting others to your shelter though and having more stuff to interact with as a social space but we don’t need big team battles or mobile radars doesn’t suit the theme of the game.

Teamkilling post update is usually either a troll at work or more likely a group teaming on the map and removing random players from the lobby, seen it done many times. Generally if I do random duos I go seperate ways from my teammate or just play solos instead, random duos is still cancerous.

I see what their doing tbh they went from way too high to way too low and now their in the middle. I think it’s a fair medium though I see myself one day not being about to prep for a future donation completion.

Agreed it’s currently only a solos kit until that’s fixed I’ve wasted a couple simply forgetting it pings my ally. Bit annoying

The devs recently implemented a patch to stop people cancelling matchmaking at the “preparing” stage to stop teaming in solos and Duos. Problem is there’s a workaround for it so it’s totally useless 😂 teamers will always find a way!

Did he dismantle out of trolling or expected to die? Could be a genuine bug but not one I’ve ever seen

Agreed! I don’t mind the bolt reload action but I’d like an animation to be more immersive and a slight speed increase would be good

First off the adr is a special issue weapon it’s supposed to be good. Second this issue of instant deaths is not restricted to just the best guns in the game it’s an issue across all rarity’s of guns. Amount of times I’ve been insta killed by an akm or a Thompson is ludicrous. If anything the adr is a weaker choice already now commons were boosted in the last patch. The problem isn’t the adr but headshot magnetism in general.

I’d like to see animals in the shelter area but I don’t see the value of it in encounters at least in the shelter it’s just fleshing out the background to look cooler and maybe then they sorta come up to you but let’s not turn vigor into deer hunter simulator or a pvp/pve hell @cougars😂

Private viewing yes but nothing public part of the fun is not knowing what your up against. If you see a lobby with adr people with like a 5.1 kd your gonna bounce from that game 😂 if your a scrub with common weapons with a 0.87 kd your gonna have a bad time when everyone hunts you for an easy kill.

I must admit I have had some random new forms of crashing mid game happened twice since the new season started. Not the usual type of crashing at the load screen but actualling ejecting me from the game, was considering making a post about this myself but I’ve sorta learned to live with it knowing their likely aware of this issue.

Second battlepass is way easier to level this time consider giving it a shot 👍

Not to mention the balancing hell for daytime modes people using thermals to check murder bushes. Could get messy, I’m on the fence with that idea tbh as I like to see stuff. Having to come into a game with more war to help you see means less space for looting, nice idea yes but could also be very hellish to play

It finally worked for me many hours later so there’s that! 😂

Noticed every time there’s an update of this size the servers tank for a good few hours would this just be due to a surge of people or is there an issue with the the update that needs a patch?

If you want to play that game I recommend ark survival evolved, otherwise there is vigor they will never rebuild this game from the ground up for that. Though not ruling out a possible future project like that as a separate game

I also don’t see an issue with camping, if your stomping around full sprint and get caught out sprinting past a camping without a care in the world it’s kinda your own fault. I camp frequently as it’s the best way to catch out sprinters charging to the drop or a high risk area like signal.

Right now I’m in the same boat. I still have upgrades to work out but their not as fun or necessary given I’ve broken the bank on materials and weapon plans. That said I’m pushing for stockpiling airdrops for the next season pass 😂👍 I do also think new weapons are coming out soon too and some new portable devices. Eventually we will get shelter customisation too but no idea when.

Hmm how very interesting 🤔 nothing particularly new in random duos but the fact he’s broadcasting it is somewhat brazen

It broke with the launch of the season pass thing along with some other achievements like world explorer. No idea when the patch is coming but it will eventually, be patient.
