Well you all have to remember the christmas break must be coming soon. As I said they highly deserve it.

Experimental servers are on germany, there for if you are not from europe you should increase the max ping in the filters for them to show up.

You can, at least with the M4 you need a different foregrip. --- On Topic: The engine. DayZ is now based off engine structure and not scripts that were outside the game internal architecture. This opens the possibility for many, many, many, many things to be done easily by simply modifying this, adding that, removing that, etcetera.

Train stations have the current city name, If you spawn outside a town you could either follow the road to see where it leads so you can get a landmark. dayzdb.com has a great interactive map of chernarus plus (current DayZ Map) where you can check the cities and their names. From there you'll be able to navigate if you're good at following directions.

Nope, it's on experimental branch right now, I believe they will get it live in the upcoming hours when the team gets back to their offices if they ever sleep!

Have you changed the zeroing of the M4? The weapon hits it's iron sight point at the distance it is zero'd. (Pag up, Pag down by default) I don't know if this actually works like this as this was previously for the sniper rifles but I assume it should be like this now. The weapon is zero'd by default at 100m

It is listed under fixes so we can assume it's a fix to get the heal regenerating, that, and the fact that it was stated multiple times that blood should get regenerated.

Not really, if you read the known issues you will find that this is not any major game breaking bug and that other things are more important than the gameplay. Priority of things are not decided by the community or the testers, issues are fixed as seen fit by the developers following their roadmap. Early access was to get involved with the development of the game, not to play and expect 100% fun and things working and complain about what isn't working because you're not having fun. More than half of the current features are broken and/or incomplete and/or not working as intended. It's not up to you to decide if it should take priority, at least not until you begin to see this as an alpha and not as a game. Seems that your concept of testing is sort of distortioned. You are expected to test the current things in any way you are able with your current resources. Why do you want to establish a base? What will change that with your testing scheme? Why do you even need vehicles at all to test? If the developers give you those features, you will only focus on getting vehicles, storing stuff and minding your very own business.

I love the updates but I am sure you guys deserve at least a christmas break.

So far I've come across (asides from the stock ones) two buttstocks, three scopes (CCO, ACOG 2.5x & Iron Sights), two foregrips, bayonet, flashlight, bipod and Silencer. What i'm trying to figure is how much does the silencer lower the loudness of the gun as I shot and it was still pretty loud alerting other zombies, it might not be implemented or it would work better with sub sonic ammo (5.56 SD) Also the red dot works without powering it up somehow.

Honestly, the only issue right now are the increased amount of ammo. After checking balota I had a M4 and 100+ bullets. As I already have mentioned in another post in the future I hope that the ammo spawns in units and not in clips and dozens. Your problem might be that you are thirsty. To overcome this you should drink a real shitload of times until you get "I'm full" or something along those lines (Achievable at ponds, lakes, swamps, etc.). There you wont have thirst for hours and you will be able to sprint a lot.

While i am against KoS'ng and I would prefeer anything else, in the current state it's either you or them. Of course, why would I shoot a fresh spawn who has nothing but a battery? Since there's no combat quitting protection nor server hopping protection, you don't know if the person you're gonna try to disarm peacefully will just log out and run, or just turn around and shoot you, there for it is safer for you to just shoot on sight anyone who is armed, especially with melees and if they are close to you. I was up at NWAF and saw a guy entering an industrial building fully geared up. Shot him as he was entering, turns out he had antibiotics and had saved my life as I was sick.

I cleaned my wounds and It did not fix it, luckily i had found morphine in the hospital, when I used it the pain dissapeared.

they say there's moon on the day and sun on the night over the antenna.

0/10. ------------ It's depending your luck. I was hit 10 times making me bleed 8/10 and then in other life i was hit 15 times not bleeding once.

Loot is not balanced. Already docummented in the current issues. If anything I would hope that bullets get to be even more rare and I would not want to find full mags, but rather empty mags and like 5-6 bullets laying around in other places.. You can find Pistols in schools/firestation/military; rifle in any house and m4 in any military. Parts can be found in industrial and militaries.

First of all, no, the sun is incredibly perfect and should be left like that. This is yersteday after sun rise, when it was completely out: That is incredible. Now what could be added in the future is an actual modifier for when using glasses, masks, etcetera. In a stream I remember rocket saying that bike helmets would add sound modifiers. The idea would be that wearing any type of object which goes over your eyes should have an impact on your current sight, the same way clothes affect your way of perceiving the enviroment. Wearing black aviator sunglasses should give you a darker tint on your general view, while at the same time making the effects of the sun on your sight noticeable lower. I own a pair of aviators and they truly make the enviroment darker, but the sun doesn't affect me at all, nor does any kind of reflex it created. This same concept should be applied to every other object. For example, your panoramical sight is greatly reduced when using a bike helmet, and your head is considerably heavier, the downside of using a helmet should be slightly slower head turn rate and decreased panoramical vision, while it's upside is the protection it haves. The gas mask reduces your vision slightly too. Another example could be the tactical visors, they could provide an increased reflection during dark enviroments, but they should tire your eyes and couldn't be used for long periods, and if used on the day, they would greatly damage your eyes. So what ya' think?

Found a ruined walktie takie on a body, it's description was "..." so I guess it will be implemented in the future as a way of not-so-long range voice talking with others.

Especially the ghost rabbits.

Total 20 hours on record, 40 joint with my brother and 60 with my friend and we have yet to find a can opener. We scouted for it in a lot of towns and even all of the buildings on zelenogorsk which were not looted. I only found a completely ruined one in the body of a server hopper we smashed at NWAF last night on my last 5 mins of play. Either ways the future patches and all will make it possible thatt you can open things with anything sharp, right now it is currently bugged I believe.

Yersteday I was dying and was with my brother. Turns out he was A+ and I was A- ... Which encouraged us to keep moving to search for a way to cure me. Turns out when I was about to die I found the antibiotics I needed. Without the compatibility issues one would simple give blood to each other disencouraging the use of nutrition or other alternatives. This way is perfect and adds an increased difficulity, one of the problems we had on the mod were that regaining blood was as easy as getting a transfusion done, which could be done in mid combat easily.

Elektro's fire station. Zombie was raping me. Had nothing but a shovel. The guy had an axe. Helped me get rid of the zombie. He got off after saying bye. Lucky me! (The several encounters after this one did not end so well...)

I know that feeling. Watching a great sun rise from the Green Mountain:

I'm not sure if it was reported but the flashlight can be seen tresspassing walls so it's pretty incredibly dangerous right now :P
