Just a congratulatory post to the devs. Can't wait to play, even with all the bugs.

I haven't been on the forums in a while, but started playing DayZ again with .58 It's coming back!! Makes me really happy. Persistence is a bit buggy but it's given this old lone wolf a lot of joy already. I would really like to hear a more detailed account of the zed situation at some point. I play as a survivalist, hoarder, etc. most of the time. The zeds are extremely important to my play style as I don't go looking for other players so they represent the only real threat that I face other than starvation or sickness which I would also like to see developed further. Anyway, here's to the forums! See you again in a few months.

Did you meet someone in the wilderness who didn't kill you but you didn't happen to catch their name? What about that jerk that shot you as you gazed carelessly across the fertile green fields of Chernarus? Let's try to rekindle those connections here.

The engine has really just evolved into another engine, this is how engines normally change. It's not like they are moving to something completely different and rebuilding from scratch.

So Altis is double what we currently have. It seems so much bigger to me. What he has proposed would be a little over 4x what we currently have.

Well, to be fair his map size is similar to Altis which works fine for multiplayer in ARMA III.

This doesn't work for me. I get moved back in time, similar to Rocket's explanation, just walking from place to place. The further I get away from other players it seems to get better. I have abandoned the game for now.

Is experimental shit right now or was it just me? I couldn't even play. Rubber banding and total crashes. Anyway, see you in six months. I hope.

Where the hell is Fraggle? I haven't seen hide nor hair of him since just before the release. EDIT: Fraggle is gone dudes. Fraggle is gone.

Is this right? I thought I remembered them saying that the goal was to be in beta after six months and the game wouldn't release until the one year mark.

It just sucks that Arma 3 had such a swift and precise develoment and DayZ is exactly the opposite. I purchased the DayZ alpha thinking it would develop at the speed of Arma 3 (my fault I know). There's no way this game will be beta at six months let alone fully released like Arma 3.

I wonder if the people complaining realized that a lot of us followed the development of standalone for a FULL year before the game was even released as alpha. Every conversation and argument that you're making was literally made one hundred times before the game even came out. Do you play any other alphas? I've been playing Project Zomboid, Kerbal Space Program, Space Engineers, and a few others. DayZ is updated more than ANY of them. ANY. Find something else to do with your time besides coming on here to complain. It accomplishes nothing. Good day, see you in a month.

The loot is fixed on experimental but those servers are so full that there is no loot. It's a paradox. I can't get the damn experimental servers to show up in my list anyway. I only get one DE-04 and it's always at 38/40 but I just sit at Wait For Host after clicking connect. I've been on a hiatus from the game for a month or so. I think I'll stay away until loot respawn, persistent storage, and hunting/cooking are in. It will be a new game at that point.

I haven't been able to find any of those in the server list. Not sure what's going on.

Well... maybe not. I updated to a new version when I switched to experimental but I don't see any servers at the moment. Are they not online for 116315 version? Thanks!!

Played after the maintenance yesterday morning on regular-stable branch and didn't have any issues at all as far as desynch etc. are concerned. I'm switching to experimental now to see how it's going at the moment.

It's blatantly clear that most of the people posting on this thread have no idea what it means to plan an early access game. DayZ has had more updates and additions than any other early access game I play. Project Zomboid, Kerbal Space Program. etc. DayZ also has a much clearer roadmap than most early access games. The problem with DayZ is the fact that the developers communicate with the community making them feel like they all have a voice. And when you make people feel like that, they come on here and say stupid shit like "need vehicle now" and "where u AS50 at bruh" The game is coming along nicely. I haven't played in a while as I am personally waiting for persistent storage and hunting. I know it could be months before those features are on the stable build, but I know there are hundreds of hours of DayZ in my future. Also, if you have recently come into this thread and asked "When is the next update coming". Do a little research next time. I won't be answering questions for people that are to lazy to search for two minutes themselves.

Not sure, I hit a zombie in the face with one five times and it never died.

Dumbest. Feedback. Ever.

Logged into 42 experimental server and had the worst performance yet. It took a few seconds every time I approached a door for the icon to pop up. I wasn't desynching at the time so I'm not sure why it was so laggy. Also, the zombie and other "random" noises are worse than ever. It was a full 50/50 server but those noises make the game almost unplayable for me at this point.

Not to be a complete contrarian here but I figured a jump this large 37 - 42 would have included basic cooking, possible some hunting and maybe even persistent storage. Perhaps it's not fully updated and only the title as some have suggested. Or, as in previous updates, we might be pleasantly surprised when we hop in and see things not in this list.

what makes this different from 37? It looks almost exactly the same to me.

I've been a member of the forum for over a year. My post number is below average. Some of these "members" have posted 1000 times in a MONTH!

Yeah I check in once in a while to see what's going on and have to wade through all of your shit to get some answers. Try yahoo instant message service if you need company.

I see now how people get to 1200 posts in 3 months. Has this turned into a chat room? Some of you need to try posing every 100th idea that pops into your head because all it does is clog this thread with useless irrelevant crap. I've seen people post three times in a row essentially saying nothing. FFS find something else to do with your time.
