The 10 Meter Tag is gone, now its only a few foot, although damage does seem to be down a bit.

placing tents in trees, bushes and lakes to hid them is depressing, how may cap sites do you go to and see tents with a tree sticking out of the top. moveing the tents so they can't be as easily hidden is good, it means you can't rely on your tent stash not getting found.

that's because everyone's playing :D

Awesome changes, the zeds are still a threat, but no more 10meter hits :D, still died to infection, found 1 antibiotic in 5 hours, but still great work. not been hit through walls as yet either on this run, some odd standing still zeds when you lose them, or some seem to sit on loot piles, fun fun fun. :D

Looks good will be testing more tonight :D

Images wouldn't really cut it. I will have to see if I can put a video together, but frame rate issue would put pay to that. I'll post back.

My word your so ignorant on so many levels, let me enlighten you. 1. The patch did improve some things, but broke the game. 2. 'Real dayz players' as you allude to does not mean a small group of hard core players. The real DayZ players are the players who would make the stand alone successfull, not the small minority that you call 'hardcore' 3. It is spelt were not where. 4. SA is for the mainstream, do you really think BI is making the game for a small group, they want to make money off it, so it is for the mainstream. And the biggest issue, 5. You state 'realism', so it's real for an infected ex human to be stronger, faster, with better eye sight, and the ability to punch you through walls, how do you feel when you have flu, do you really think zeds moan for any other reason because their heads pound and they want you to keep quiet, why else do you think they react so bad to sounds like gun shots. Don't go touting Realism for as why this patch is great, as its exactly that realism that it broke.

How does he not die more often.

Well your right on for first point. What's your opinion on. Zombie super powers of speed, reach, sight, hearing, and their magical abilities like moving through matter. On a side note, have you ever tried killing things with your hands, it's quite difficult, why would zombies do more damage from hitting, Tearing with teeth yes, but not from grabbing and hitting. And how exactly your patch review unbiased, when you haven't mentioned all of the things broken in the patch. Not much o a review really, looks more like your a troll, trying to start a flame war, rather than a serious discussion

Being able to place tent concealed has always been a bug. It is now at least working correctly. Tents have never been a secure way of storing items, you just have to find a less travelled path and hope your lucky. Hiding tents in trees, bushes and underwater were always exploits, I'm amazed that they have been able to fix this. Stashes should be the only way of securing extra items, but lets face it, they don't want people refitting easily. Just carry a tent to help cure infection Or store the tent in a stash, and hope you can get back there. I'ed be more amazed if they changed the zeds animations to help prevent them attacking through walls (reducing their attack range would be a start) And slowed the animations down, which would help.

I've been playing since last may, I know what the game was like then, an unbalanced buggy trial, that showed some promise. If you like it like that then fine for you. But the game will fail. Crafting a game should be like calving a sculpture, take a bit off at a time until its right, not cutting it in half and building it up again, that way you end up with something easily fractured. This has gone from one extreme off way to easy to the other, zeds are bugged, and should not have super powers, in fact their reach should be reduced to help stop the attacking through walls. The step forward swipe animation allows then to attack through walls currently, The 10 ft invisible arm extensions are dumb. The super speed that the decaying bodies get is ridiculous, The fact that the game engine allowance for them to run uphill faster than you is stupid, your running for your life, your not going to slow down when your being chased, they just want to hug you, so who's going to have the most will.!!! The enhanced eye sight they get especially at night is daft, If I can't smell the decay walking around due to the limit of technology (no smelly vision), then zeds should not be able to use smell, as it seems they now track by the smell emanating from the trouser area. Yes the game should be harder than 1.7.6.1 But why not roll out the changes one at a time so it can be balanced, not just pile out a load that all add up to a massive breaking of the game

So your saying a zombie witha 10 ft reach that can see you through walls, and hit you through walls is not broken! If not then I guess it's just a matter of opinion, you'll probably always be wrong

. What backpacks maybe its just the servers I play on but loot is broken. Maybe I should play on fancy private hives with custom loot tables live everyone who loves this patch Actually to the OP what server do you play on? I wouldn't mind coming to play on an easy server like you

It really doesn't sound like OP is playing the same game, or he's still on 1.7.6.1. I play slow and steady, it doesn't help. Zombies spawn on top of me and infect me through walls. Zombies have seen me at night, when I'm still, prone and 100 firkin meters away. I do think 1.7.6.1 was way too easy, but this is not balanced not fun and everyone I see is either kitting up prepatch then coming to survive in 1.7.7, alt f4ing to survive, or playing hide go seek with their corpses. And for saying your not finding loot due to high traffic areas is balls. Your wrong, I found loads of loot all over the map, all empty whiskey bottles and razors. Loot tables are broken period. Due to the lack of food, it's almost impossible to start now, you end up having to rush around because there's no food drops. And bang zombie got you. It's only after I got a water bottle and hunting gear that I actually found some food. Heli spawns are still stupid, 4 all in fields close to each other and nothing in the rest of the map. Loot all being useless razors nails and arrows. Oh and please explain how a zombie that's 10 feet away can hit me without magic. Explain how Zeds can teleport form laying down to standing up and hit me instantly. Use actual examples of what everyone is complaining about and tell me how it's fun. Don't tell me how you think I'm playing because your wrong

The Rolling update patch notes are missing an item. * [REMOVED] -FUN
