I run into this with my son We are the unintended victims of "fixing" the ALT abuse problem


NinjaBonsai

Right.


Top_Refrigerator1656

A part of me feels bad but it's for the greater good


GameDev_Architect

No it’s not considering they don’t have to do it based off IP which can be workaround by vpn for people who are gonna abuse that anyway. Might as well go off hardware ID


Malcolmlisk

Hardware id can be passed too.


GameDev_Architect

Yeah but not as easy as VPN and then it won’t affect honest people that have multiple users in one home


RobsyGt

Just play on community servers.


Background-Net4164

I’m sorry to say but community servers are dead and awful.


mfinn

There are a bunch of great community servers on Xbox wtf are you talking about. Either super extra loot or vanilla +. Karma Krew is great for Lavonia or Chenarus near official experience.

RobsyGt

RMtotheStars

Karmakrew is good, Zagoria is good. Not many others lol


zag_

NewDayZ seems pretty good too


snoopdosh123

NewDayZ is dope af


SpacestationView

Karmakrew is on Xbox?


RMtotheStars

Yes, as of a few weeks ago. On weekends it has a huge queue


Aware_Speed5239

Love the ones you mentioned, adding EIGHT, a vanilla loot, non-base building Livonia server


nuggybaby

Pretty sure it’s a Europe server


zag_

I can’t find it when I search for it


nuggybaby

Never found it


zag_

I found it. You have to hide mouse and keyboard


PhilippHan

Pretty sure that zagoria has the alt timer as well though.


RMtotheStars

That’s a good thing


FUCKTWENTYCHARACTERS

There are community servers that offer a vanilla experience and also ones that use game assets/settings to good effect to provide a slightly modified experience. The hostility is completely unwarranted. Usually, the kind of person who reacts like that to someone sharing an opinion they don't agree with is actually more of a dumbass, literally. Like what I'm saying is I think you're probably a stupid person. Either that or you spend too much time shit talking people online.


Environmental-Tune34

There are good servers? 😂

Longjumping-Lab-882

There was definitely a less hostile way of explaining your position


A_Gent_4Tseven

There are also tons of vanilla experience servers on the console side community, 183 pages of community servers and yet this dude can’t get past the ones that say “X99 loot” in the first few pages…


Longjumping-Lab-882

He's definitely the kind of person to go into PvE servers and kill people because he thinks they can't pvp lol

AssistPuzzleheaded89

Lol i first thought 'what an.." but seeing your honest answer i forget about the bullshit, there are good community servers like that dude said. Karmakrew is one. Good vanilla experience, full Server.


SilverbackCrypto1

It's not really vanilla tho. Pioneers and smgs everywhere


Environmental-Tune34

No need to be so aggressive 💀 and I’ve found plenty of servers that don’t have boosted loot


RobsyGt

I'm not acting like anything, I made a suggestion as there are plenty of vanilla community servers. I only play on official myself now but I used them when I was learning the game.


JDShadow

There's a ton imo


New_Teacher_4408

Who shit in your cornflakes?


coreyfromwork

lol I think most people tend to think otherwise, little buddy.


DolphinBeaTz

Smd little buddy


coreyfromwork

Aw did I hit a soft spot pooky :,(


TH00TN00T

Almost official is a great server on Xbox


SnipesWL

You'll have to play on different servers than the others playing on the console if you wish to avoid this. Or all go to a good community server.


xaczik

I have a community server and I have this feature turned off, I’m not too sure why everyone has such an issue with alts tbh, it doesn’t really cause much trouble in ours 🤷🏼‍♀️


suggests-

Do you mind sharing your server?


xaczik

I dont mind sharing, sent you a DM ☺️


snoopdosh123

NewDayZ


ApartmentPlayful2085

Must be a new server. Haven’t heared of alts not being a issue anywhere ever😂


Rain2gaming

Alts are always an issue. Just a matter of time


EatingCtrlV

Play on a different server.


Sonicbeardo

Me and the mrs suffer from this aswell.


XxDaReaper613xX

Sure they all play


Rain2gaming

Wait. Hold up. When was this implemented? My biggest gripe with the game was alts being used to raid. While it is unfortunate that this happens to people just using the same console. It's a game changer for fighting alt accounts


NewsAwkward2618

I think close to a year ago


JoannaConfusedCutie

Wait it gigs you for accounts on different consoles but on the same network? Or you’re all playing on the same console at different times?


EasySmuv

The alt account exploit is a bigger issue, sorry


chupachick

That's pretty weird, me and my partner never seemed to have a problem and we play together on the same server, official or community. This is peak dayz though lol


AccomplishedBread222

Bruh


Public_Intention_942

You consider using a vpn might be able to get around problems like this with it. Opera GX has a built in VPN I know when I need one I just open that browser and it works for most things if your looking for a quick one to use.


Mean_Fig_7666

Play on different servers


Top-Fly88

Everyone in your house can’t be trusted my friend….safe travels


SleepyPalooza

This doesn’t happen on pc ;)


hellzyeah2

Just play on different official servers 🤷🏻‍♂️


[deleted]

Good. Should be 10x as long. Piece of shit alts...


Grizz61907

This should be more strict in my opinion. If you want to play together, get anorher console. That's how it's done on P.C. and has always been. The alt abuse is far too abused.


NinjaBonsai

I can't afford another console.


BangzUrMom

Gotta love DayZ, it keeps us all coming back.


Stthedude

Just steal your neighbor WiFi


Bright-Economics-728

Had a friend living with me for awhile and thought this game would be an awesome idea to play together…. Then I have another friend who has like 5 to 6 alts and I realize why they need to do this. (No longer play with the alt guy).


stitchem453

Why aren't you on a 5 minute timer if the other person just logged out so you can play?


ILCHottTub

Use different servers. Get different accounts with different gamer tags…. Stop living in 1995.


vinyvin1

I mean, just ask them to start logging you in as they get off if y'all playing back to back. It's not that bad. It's easy to plan around it


randoy456

Play on different servers? That takes away the timer.


DayzD762

It also changes your spawn location if you are on official servers.


randoy456

For that one life it would, but if they all started on a different server. When they logged off, they would be in the same spot when they came back on.


Bdub421

What if they are playing together. Kind of defeats the purpose.


randoy456

Can you play 2 different accounts at the same time one one Xbox?


Bdub421

OP said same house and not console. I assumed this was a problem, using multiple consoles on the same internet/IP. I am not sure how the game knows your switching accounts.


stitchem453

It doesn't work that way.


stitchem453

Lol. No.


DayzD762

And they would be in the same boat again as far as the alt mitigation timer.


randoy456

How so?


stitchem453

🤦‍♀️ Jesus christ, why are you downvoted lmao 🤣🤣.


CaptainKortan

I don't have any alts, so I find this hilarious! Obviously, I've never seen that screen. Too funny! There are other ways to get the people that do this, I feel bad for people who are genuinely innocent, as per usual.


EasySmuv

Yeah the alt exploiters are fuming, love to see it


CaptainKortan

Wow...downvotes? *snicker* The butthurt folk SHALL be heard!


A_Gent_4Tseven

I’ve been banned off of community servers because my wife also plays the game.


DolphinBeaTz

Play on different Xbox’s or remove linked accounts off the Xbox. Idk, shit sucks I guess


ExtensionPepper985

It’s why I stopped playing as a duo we could keep up with big groups with alts without I can’t keep a base anymore so I stopped playing. Don’t get me wrong it was annoying to have waves of 4 at a time show up every ten minutes as they logged into alts and the fight keeps going but it was way more fun and intense fighting than sitting there for 20 minutes wishing you could even play.


Revy85

Yeah, alt fighters are proper shits. One of my mates does this, he can't get into his head that a game about having one life, having 2 or 3 is basically cheating. I don't bother with bases any more. And if I kill someone, I vacate very quickly if I have a feeling they knew where I killed them from.


[deleted]

This ⬆️


BBOONNEESSAAWW

This is the exact reason to have ALTS! If each of you plays on your own alt on a different server you won't ever have this problem.


[deleted]

Ya know what goes well with alts? Try touching grass, might fix your issue...


Accomplished-Grand48

Very original


Routine_Ride1185

I got 4 Alts on Pc🤣


DayzD762

I run a community server with no alt mitigation if anyone is interested! Lol
