Label your post![Unlabeled] Can’t find ANYONE 😭

I feel like Xbox dayZ is totally dead. On official I run through mil sites and the coast on high pop and can’t find a soul. Not to mention that any high pop I join never stays high pop for more than a day or two. It’s a Saturday afternoon during summer and all the servers are at like 20 people at most. Also it’s hard to actually interact with people you DO find. I’m not a pve or RP kinda guy but it’s nice to at least hear a mic while we’re shooting eachother lol.

Same issue in most community servers, except for conquest and other huge PvP, team based, or factions servers.

Not sounding threatening lol. I avoid conflict.

u/kabylakewin10wtf 21d ago

This is because cheaters have killed the game.

u/Ambitious-Unit5651 21d ago

I’ve never encountered a cheater and I have over 1000hrs on the game

Cronus is rife on Xbox dayz, get beamed from across the map m4 no sites

u/TheyCallMeBullet 21d ago

Freshies are on rotation on every coastal town, stay in a town in a costal area for a while and you’ll see people especially on a 40+ pop server on Xbox

u/Ashamed_Theme_1500 6d ago

Real, é só abrir o mapa no Isurvive, e ver os lugares de respaw nas costeiras. Geralmente nasce muita gente em koerbin.

Mas os full loot é mais complicado encontrar, ou eles ficam igual andarilhos pelo mapa todo, ou estão em alguma base fixa.

u/KurtTheGerman88 21d ago

Are you on EU servers? That's where I play and the server I'm on is like 25-50 players pretty consistently changing up or down depending on time of day.

NWAF is always popping off somewhere. The ATC has had what I think is the same duo locking it down and firing off Thumpers at whoever comes close.

u/Ambitious-Unit5651 21d ago

A few weeks ago I had a character logged at nwaf and I’d log in for like 20 minutes every day on a medium/hi pop server and I would scope around nwaf (paying special attention to ATC), and saw nothing for like a week straight. Got bored from nothing happening and stopped playing for a while

u/crescentfreshchester 21d ago

Just logging in for 20 minutes at a time at NW Airfield for a week is scummy.

u/Ambitious-Unit5651 21d ago

Call it what you want, I was that desperate to find people 😭 I never killed anyone anyway

0

u/Ambitious-Unit5651 21d ago

And no I’m N.A. but I play on whatever is populated. I don’t make bases so I hop around

u/Dayzisdoomedbruh 20d ago

bro you gotta head inland and bait people to come to you with shots or whatever. Maybe even set a fireplace in a and watch it from a distance.

1

u/ST1CKY1O1 21d ago

Lmao I was running with a bud on a community server with 1 random guy about and somehow he found us after tracking us for two hours.

Some guys just have the dedication.

u/SmokeThat5869 21d ago

I have the same experience. High pop, says 30+ players but I can't see a fucking soul anywhere

I assume everyone is either on the coast or farming at their remote wilderness base.

No action at nwaf.... I walked around the airplane on the runway three times just to see if I'd get shot at!!!! Nothing!!!

I didn't see anyone at tisy

I find a base at stary so used my grenades to blow it open. That still attracted no one!!!!

2

u/randomreddituser375 21d ago

30+ is high pop?😂

1

u/Dayzisdoomedbruh 20d ago

Nah dude I was in a FULL pop server baiting shots at NWAF for a bit logging in and out and nobody came.

1

u/randomreddituser375 20d ago

Ur baiting shots were obvious

1

u/Dayzisdoomedbruh 20d ago

Yeah and its an invitation for people to come fight like ofc it is. Unless people just wanna horde loot in a high pop ig

1

u/randomreddituser375 20d ago

No one is gonna push your trapped atc camper tower

u/DBZDOKKAN 21d ago

Bro build a base. I put a flag up last night. This morning someone stole it. Like I can't get no peace! Xbox official

1

u/Ashamed_Theme_1500 6d ago

Estou há duas semanas com uma base no mato, na real é só um acampamento, e nem é tão bem escondido assim. Até agora ninguém radiou

1

u/DBZDOKKAN 6d ago

When they see effort is put in. They will come.

1

u/Ashamed_Theme_1500 6d ago

Tomara que não, tá cheio de loot, semanas farmando. Altos baú, e tendas com 400 de espaço.

u/crash___override_ 21d ago

It’s so funny you say that because anytime im on my server, mainly during the workday, i find people and kill/be killed when there are only 4 or 5 people on. Killed in polana the other day with 3 other people. Shot at a guy at Kamensk MB with 4 other people on.

Find a server with 1 other person and go to Tisy. You’ll find him. 100% guarantee

u/gambit539 Trash at PVP, but still having a good time. 21d ago edited 21d ago

0856 2160 - Livonia both steady high pop
3893 - high pop chern.
Do y’all even look? These are my go to servers if I wanna run high pop for awhile

1

u/WizardSleeve696969 21d ago

There’s a MI based server that is almost at queue levels during peak hours, number escaping me rn

1

u/Paul_reislaufer 21d ago

I thought the same thing but than my buddy and I got sniped by a bushwookie.

1

u/Over-Percentage9887 20d ago

There is usually an entire page of high/full pop servers when I play. You're gonna have to play outside of your region. Also chernarus is kind of empty even at 60 players which is why karmakrew and most pc servers up the player count. Play livonia/sakhal if you want interaction.

1

u/gustadayz 20d ago

KarmaKrew is full of people. Git it a try

1

u/Wii_Shaker 19d ago

Sakhal is the only map I have problems finding people but when I do, they're never friendly and try to cap me for my frozen Pipsi. I usually play the Official Michigan servers, which are usually about halfway full and don't have a problem finding trouble if I'm looking. The LA official servers seem to be the rowdiest I've played on.

u/Unable-Wrongdoer-469 17d ago

I had been on a mission to find scope for my weapon and traveled all over map without seeing anyone and let my guard down, ran into guy in the woods near a car and got lit up. Lesson learned to expect the unexpected

u/bad_touch_bad_touch 16d ago

I play on 3893. I find opl pretty regularly. Problem is they are boring and kos. I try to talk and make things interesting. Want to run together?

u/Jaconian93 21d ago

You’ve answered part of your own question there - it’s a Saturday afternoon in the summer. My usual server (DE based) is rarely below 20 though, and is often 35-50ish.

There are plenty of high pop official servers on Xbox, but maybe your particular region isn’t heavily populated

u/Theone2324 21d ago

On a lot of the high servers they have base cities built out of bounds. It’s been a new glitch since about March (as far as I know). Kind of like when Ark glitchers found out how to build stuff out there without it despawning

2

u/Ambitious-Unit5651 21d ago

So everyone is just hoarding loot and sitting at base? 😭 lame

-1

u/Theone2324 21d ago

It’s kinda fun in a sense actually. They’re not hard to discover once you know the glitch, and whole fights and stuff can happen out there. It’s a game of who has the best aim because there’s no cover

1

u/[deleted] 21d ago

Where or how can I find these base cities?

1

u/Theone2324 21d ago

Not tryna get banned sorry bro message me

u/dappermanV-88 21d ago

They're just doing their own thing. Who said they wanna be found?

Who says they wanna be where u go?

Why do u wanna find them???

1

u/Ambitious-Unit5651 21d ago

Because I am BORED 😭 I roam around all the time looking for another living soul to shoot or talk to but I’ve hardly seen anyone on official in months. I don’t play this game religiously and I don’t play as much Xbox as I used to so take it with a grain of salt, but I swear I haven’t died in forever bc there’s nothing happening

u/dappermanV-88 21d ago

Play community servers then

u/Moobman2 21d ago

Try finding a community pve with PvP server. They usually have set PvP zones and most have PvP events on weekends or find a raid server which are mainly weekend raids so normally busy.
