Season greetings to one and all. After the success of last years party/massacre my self and my merry band of teammates have unfortunately been unable to secure our castle in time for this years event. Regular internal base camping since the wipe has made this impossible. 😢 Instead we would like to come (in peace) to someone’s else’s party on Xmas eve. Open to offers…. Merry Christmas. Craig

Not just sahkal but in chernarus also.

I’ve noticed this new “ambient footsteps bait”. It is very unnerving and don’t see what it adds except as you say anxiety. It should definitely be removed asap.

I’ve really enjoyed the added challenge of reduced capacity slots. I’ve avoided picking up a gas stove and canister until I find a pot because I can’t justify the 12 slots for something useless. Same with a lot of items. And this seems to help loot distribution (for now) as spawn locations aren’t picked clean straight away, like when you find dead zeds at a military and it’s still got some loot.. It’s also forced me to plan ahead for stashed storage via a sea chest. I also like that everyone has been slowed down, not so much of a race to fix cars or build a base. You’ve only got capacity to loot for one or the other. I haven’t really noticed the water change, I’m generally always all white and prepared to keep it that way. Can’t be doing with the sickness, cause it becomes a chore and everyone should be aiming for 95% immune system whatever the food/hydration settings. Apologies if that’s not what you wanted to hear but I’m a dayz fanboy, nothing else comes close, the adrenaline and immersion is where it’s at! See you on the coast.

Another (offline) raid today and they destroyed it all! Fortunately we’ve still got all the good loot, 4 IEDs and enough ammo for another 4 gates. You better watch out cause your base is about to go down! Mwaaahahaa….

What about being able to put a full backpack/crate in all the empty seats?

That worked out ok for me. Nobodies going to log into base until after the next raid which will be in 5… 4….3…. Apreciate the heads up @merropa93.

@merropa93 Been on (pc) for an hour this morning and no server notice about wipe, no official announcement, so I’ve logged out with my ieds and ammo stash….

Been a tense week or so for base builders and hoarders like myself. With the announcement of the PC character wipe like many others we had to deposit our good loot in our base, not ideal due to an unwanted visitor that logged into our base the day after the original wipe announcement. No damage done but we suspect they’re still there. Then the night after the cancelled wipe a full raid through six gates, sympathetic and very little damage done, all rebuilt and secured. Yesterday another full six gate raid all loot disposed of including my favourite tent😢. Rebuilt again this morning and await the next raid! We’ve been lucky every raid got nothing better than a weapons cleaning kit due to our diligence in always logging out with the good loot, must be a lot of players out there with excess loot to burn or could it be the dupers using up their ill gotten gains before it’s gone? Hope all you other hoarders out there have been as lucky as us. Anyway looking forward to getting back to normal gaming soon after the character wipe (take your time devs and get it right), only been on the coast once since last wiped so I hope I can still remember how to survive on the treacherous journey home.

Sorry to butt in but surely this add on should be called FrostlineZ. I’ll get my coat…

Well done @Kyiara for your efforts to hold this rag tag group of survivors together. Best of luck for what ever your future holds. Three cheers for Kyiara: Hip Hip…

The Russians (assumption) are back. Aggressive base invasion is there reson detre. Abusive language and threats to relatives seems the meta followed up with gas and stormtrooperesque tactics. My heart pounds, breathe held for an eternity and then the mouse crumbles under my iron grip. Whilst my team mates log on for the battle in earnest I prepare to survive and log out like a woos. Sometimes they get killed and sometimes they get a kill, usually both and everyone loses… except me. I play to survive and thrive by avoiding these lunatics… am I the only one who can’t hold their nerve when it comes to overwhelming force? I know it’s unsporting to combat log but it’s a game I love to win over the long run. On the upside they’ve made some nice additions to base and I got all their goodies they deemed worthy of saving from the wipe🥳. P.S. Great update as far as I can tell, keep up the hard work devs.

Hi overflex. Multiplayer servers shut down and new nitrado servers are established! I too was unaware of this change due to a massively hostile raid (great fun) that took its toll on my ability to play as much as I had been. Spring as well is a busy time for me on the farm so this suited me. I only logged in a few times to secure and salvage what I could. To my surprise the server is now gone. RIP Zolotar castle base that I had secured on day one of 1.23 until wiped 😢. Rule 1 of dayz is “Don’t get attached to your gear”. Something I forget every so often and there’s big tears. @Kyiara What was the purpose of this massive change? Any chance of spawning me a few combos, metal sheets and some barbed wire?🤪

I’m not sure if this is as intended, but I’ve spawned near my base twice since the new respawn was implemented. Lucky I guess! We have had dayz of peace and quiet, then on New Year’s Eve the nearby town was alive with vicious new spawns and had to fend them off for hours. Good times!

In my letter to Santa this year I’ve asked for: 1. Wooden fences being upgraded with metal sheets (and tinsel). Instead of having four gates with four combos you could have two reinforced gates with two combos with the same amount of protection and less fiddling with dials. 2. Id like the ability to craft a storage shelf from nails and planks that only allows for special keepsakes (severed heads of my prey) that will let those who raid me see their future or their ghost of Christmas past. 3. Peace on earth. Craig
