Patch is great. I'd suggest that you increase the number of zombies, and decrease re-spawn rate. And make antibiotics more common, and decrease temp drop rate. And have less loot spawning.

I just played a good number of hours with the new patch. I think the temp system is cool. My group had to pause and make a fire once in a while. We used that time to eat and drink. It was night and raining so the temp dropped quickly. I think the temp drop rate should be decreased, otherwise I like the extra dimension to the gamplay it adds so far. I haven't seen any antibiotics yet, they should probably be common at hospitals. IRL, finding shelter, or getting heat from a fire is essential, so I think the system has it's place in the game. Maybe add snow to the weather effects too btw?

Haha that's funny. None of my tears are in that jar, I like all the changes.

wow, the trees catch fire? shall, shall not fire...?

We just need the Arma2 IED's in the game. They can either be timed, or set off manually from a short distance away. I'd love to put IED's on dead player bodies, and wait for someone to come around...

I just had to make this after reading this quote by Rocket. :)

Ah... Certainly, I've heard tales about The Running Man around the camp fire in apocalypse Chernarus. Legend has it he's scared of no man, or zombie, and he can run forever, and never be caught. Some old survivors says he's the ghost of a dead bandit once betrayed by his evil gang.. No, seriously, I haven't heard of him, but it sounds funny! :D I wonder how many zombies you can get to follow you? I'd love to see a sceenshot of a gigantic horde.

Great initiative, Rocket. Don't be afraid to try new things. In fact, why not also try replace all weapons with rocket launchers, and give all players jetpacks? ;) There are obviously gameplay advantages with having the bandit-survivor system. It's easier to trust someone wearing a survivor skin, than a bandit skin. But it's too arcady, and counter strike, blue vs red like. Better to go with unique skins for players. I bet it'll work better. More realistic, and more in line with the vision I see for game, which is kind a like a Stalker MMO, like Lastkossack say. With unique skins it's more suspenseful to encounter other players. That's a good thing. It'll also make it easier to recognize other people. I'm mostly into coop, rarely kill other players, and I don't think this change will make gameplay worse. Let's go for it.

- 3) Damn, son of a b... :@ My wtf deaths, would have to be when I got killed by a wall. Or a door. Or a ladder. Being sniped in the head when you have no idea you're in danger, is always cheerful too.

look forward to the patch. :)

Nice write up. Life is cheap in Chernarus.. I really like the new DayZ logo btw.

- New sound effect for the Winchester. As it is, it sounds... Not good.

+1 for clip toenails! Very important feature. ;)

Yes, either include it in the Dayz files, or let all servers accept the mod.

Last night I spawned in Elektro church, and couldn't get out because of barb wite. :(

you can map it to an analogue axis in arma2 options, i'm using a slider on my hotas. autorun ftw, i loathe nothing more than to hold w on those long walks..

I'd like to see: -STmovement mod for better indoor movement -ACE handsignals -longer view distance -a new zombie variant wouldn't hurt :D -direct chat working - more skin variation for all players, why not use more PMC models?

IMO 100 player servers would be awesome, and not at all too much for the Chernarus map.

Yeah, congrats to Rocket, the Dayz crew, and BIS.

...And Arma2 CO has made it to the no. 1 spot on the European Steam sale chart. That's a first..

In short I'd say: No bandit skin. It's too arcade like. Instead every player should have a different skin.

Thanks for the update Rocket, and happy birthday man. :) Thanks for unintentionally adding more zombies, this is more like it. I wouldn't mind if you doubled the number. :D The panic sound is cool, I welcome it. It might need to be less frequent either by not kicking in before being low on blood, or until you're being chased by a shitstorm of zombies. I've only played a little while with 1.5.7, so that's all the feedback from me for now.

Ha, that's cool.
