FULL release of the game (meaning 1.0) will be around mid 2016 which makes sense because we are only about a year away from that (making the whole development process 2.5 years which is right on with the 2-3 year figure the devs gave us at the beginning of alpha). But if anything they have only been delayed by a month or two because of persistence and the CLEs stubbornness .

I love the day night accelerated time ... I don't think people should be subject to a 6 hour day night cycle , I like to see both day and night and I think its perfect where it's at : about an hour of each ... But I do agree day changes to night too quickly , maybe give a few more minutes in between each moon / sun repositioning so it looks more natural ?

Ahh now I understand Haha ... Well I'm telling you man , PVPers are great at these things you really should stop and try and play "hero" , if you KOS a lot you should defly have the hand eye coordination and the aptitude to play cool under pressure (those two are really the only thing needed to pull these heroic shits off). It really is much more interesting than KOS , I used to be a KOS bandit back in the dayz mod days but as soon as standalone debuted with the "hands up" feature I decided that was all I needed to go hero !

I'm so ready for this to hit stable branch it's not even funny lol ... I really hope it hits tomorrow , I got the next two dayz off ... But regardless tonight after work I'll get in my last play sesh (hopefully) with my two experimental characters (they've been alive since the last character wipe )!

We don't "need" basebuilding , but do we "need" m4s or AUG's either ? The options to basebuilding should be in any open world sandbox environment simply because that's what humans do: they create , do , and use things that aren't necesssry for survival simply because they like to or it makes them feel more comfortable ... If all the work is done we WILL find something else to do , wether it be make our own shanty somewhere so we don't have to work at living In an undead city or making a massive fortress inside a city to take it over , I beleive the outcome will be amazing both for those that build and don't build : imagine finding a big fortress and slowly but surely breaking through the back wall where no one looks , one night you finally break in and steal away into the night with weapons from their armory ! I personally loved base building in dayz aftermath and think that they had a good model , it was never easy to break into someone's base especially one with large level 4 walls, it took many sledgehammers and sometimes a few hours to break into a well fortified base... Dayz should be the exact way if not harder !

The bug you mentioned , reappearing where your feet last stood , is not a bug but rather a side effect of persistence not being complete yet (I would assume). And you not being heard by someone else , I have to say that's 99.9% definitely not a bug and most likely your audio driver was at fault , most people don't even look at the bottom left of their screen let alone to chat with someone in front of them . Rocket was never greatly disappointed with the other devs visions , he WAS THE VISION , which is why he quit : he set everything on the table for the devs he trusted , and when he set the whole roadmap up he realized that his time could be better spent working on other of his dream projects while the dayz devs continue to work on his dayz zombie Dream and perfect it ! Really dean is only needed for great ideas and a good vision of what was to come , and now that he's shown that he wants this game to be hyper realistic and super immersive , the rest of the team can make that a reality without needing his guidance anymore . So I guess if you were looking at this pessimistically you could see that rocket tried to jump ship because of hatred for the project but I say that's kind of a construed and frustrated view of reality ... It's easy to see dean hall just ran his course on zpmbie games , I mean he started developing dayz mod in like 2011 or something ! Have faith and come back for Halloween if you are burnt out , I have sPidey senses and they are tingling and telling me we will see this game nearly feature complete by Halloween - Christmas !

You would be placed just outside the base , that seems fair to me in a gameplay perspective .... I can't wait for .58 stable and further more .59 experimental :) ! Great work devs , I'm just sad you guys didn't have more to say :/ .

Lol that was clearly a quick example ! Usually it's like this : soawn in around the shore and loot up pretty well, eventually find some trouble with someone holding someone else up , if I know they have bullets and have been shooting , I will wound one of them (sometimes I accidentally kill them , oh well) and then tell the others to put hands up and drop weapons ... They usually comply and I tie up one or tell the victim to tie up the robbers , it's quite easy actually and I'm surprised you haven't picked up such tactics in 1,500 hours to be honest ! Just the other day I walked up to a dark house with a fire lit with two brociopaths inside , I yelled "friendly are you guys friendly ?" And they respond with bullets to my general direction , I killed the first one through the window , I ran around the house and opened the second door and ran back to the first door and unloaded on the guy who was only able to get two shots on me... This was just another example of me trying to do the best situation without immediately killing , start doing stuff like that and eventually you WILL be able to control situations like robberies in progress !!

It seems as though this weapon disappearing is happening due to the old ammo bug : I had a repeater rifle and a magnum , my magnum had no speed loaders or ammo in it , loaded the repeater with 11 rounds and after realixed there was a "glitched round"of .357 that had no number indicating it's amount .. so I tried loading it into the repeater to no avail so I rigjt clicked it and it had an option to "eject" (This was me right clicking the ammo that wasn't even in a gun !) and the number finally showed up on the bottom right .. I then loaded that stack that was glitched into my repeater and exited my inventory. I then saw for some reason , a context option to reload the repeater with a speed loader and I thought that was strange so I did it and it ended up switching to my magnum and making my repeater "go to my back"'but really it just disappeared . I checked everywhere around where this happened and no gun ! So maybe the disappearing gun glitch is caused by using two guns that share the same ammo , or at least when you glitch bullets and try to load them into a gun ...

Hmmm ok I have characters on both but my 1PP is my main so if I do happen across an RVRDS on my 3PP I'll be sure to let you know . Hopping into the 1PP de 0-2 server, it's packed to the brim ! Looking for some good interaction today :)

It doesn't matter what you had on you and how trustworthy the guy seemed , don't get mad at these situations and try to learn something from the experience each time ! If someone is having fun with you ask for their steam name to friend up , chances are he wont want to if he has intentions of killing you ... Always be careful and never let someone else (even a trusted "Aquaintance") tell you what to do if it puts you in a more vulnerable position than they !

I usually don't upload as my quality is shit :/ but I am going to start a thread after .58 hits stable showcasing mine and anybody else who has a good video , it's sad to see so many épéens in disbelief that you can actually do things besides KOS in this game ! Don't worry when you break 1,000 hours you will start to pick up some other tactics ! Edit : not calling anyone here an epeen btw , but I mention that because no one on the dayz community believes hero exists still ! It does !

Wait ... Are you the guy I met ?! Or have I just been confused Jedi mind trick style ... But anyways do you have those AUG's on a 1PP character , or a 3PP?

I really hope they pushed some secret version out which will be the last of these experimental .58 versions ... How many have we had , like 13? Time for this beast to roll out stable!

Damn , wannabe ass bandits everywhere ... I remember when bandits use to have class , I'm now fighting a bunch of little kid bandits it seems whereas before I was actually challenged trying to play hero .... Maybe over the 1.5 years standalone has increased my ability to survive in random aggressive situations haha .. But in all seriousness the attitude of those three bandits is the reason why this game in GENERAL has a bad name , all these baddies thinking that there's no way you can have fun being a good guy , so they pretend as if KOS is the only Play style.. they really think its fun to kill someone in cold blood and not even get fought back ? When .58 hits stable I want to make a thread of encounters that are worth posting , there everyone will post their "hero or good guy killing bad guy" encounters and show the morons of this community that being good does pay off as long as your better than the baddies at strategy and accuracy ;) !

Should have been with me last night , exactly that happened. I got jumpy and accidentally shot the guy I saw (lol , it happens to the best of us) but I immediately apologized and mediced the crap out of him ...'he was so grateful I didn't murder him ! l2P like dayz wAs intended Mckaboose !

You're version sounds like what happened to JFK ... But in all seriousness if I had an mp5 the guy wouldn't have survived , he was so grateful that I explained myself and saved him after injuring him :) Thats dayz interaction at its finest scrubs .

Well it knocked him Unconscious with just three billets to the torso ! But I have no idea how healthy he was before the encounter , for all I know he could have been dying lol ...

I had a great night on experimental tonight on Us central 1PP... it basically consisted of a lone wolf session of looting around in Gorka ending in some excitement...I had just taken a fat rip, of which i wish i hadn't lol, and my character had just finished looting the police station and luckily picked up a cr 75 and two mags for it and as i descended the spiral staircase i see what appears to be a figure of a man in the corner of the side entrance room doorway. I jumpily freak out IRL and spray five bullets from the cr75 and three of them hit his torso.. He immediately goes unconscious and i realize my grievous error... I quickly bandaged the guy (i think his name was joseabeu or something) and tie him up with my rope (knew i would need that eventually lol) i explain to him that i had made a mistake and to tell me if he needed more medical attention ... He replied with unexpected gratefulness (and that he needed a splint), which was refreshing to me because usually when i have to restrain someone they aren't cool like that dude ! He truly understood the kush struggle lol, so i told him that i would cut his ties and that he could grab his guns at the doorway as i ran out to cut a bush down for a splint, all went as planned and i hope Jose (can i call you Jose, Joseabeu?) is still healthy and well, living with those bullet wounds like a 'G!

Ok , ok guys , let's focus on the real debate here : who has a better set of abs ? Eugen Harton , or Brian Hicks? I've asked this question many times but apparently the devs keep their shred under wraps . Also where da fuq' my .58 stable at ! I'm very excited to see this build across all stable servers , dayz is seriously starting to come into it's own with the content and persistence coming now adays ... Can't wait even more so for .59 experimental :)

There are zombies in this build , I saw three today near kabanino / stary sobor and I have proof ! I will post the screenshots later around 11 PM EST when I'm back from work ! Of course it's not a big amount but hey it's all for a more perfect experience in the future ... Also I still meet friendlies , people always think so and so patch "broke interaction" in dayz but that's just laughable , people just have no idea how to approach a situation in the apocalypse and live ....

I found three zombies today around the kabanino to novy sobor areas ! Keep hunting Survivors!!

ive been around the sobors and kabanino and I'm Not finding an abundance of loot ... Just odds and ends here and there .. Maybe you are seeing the respawn mechanic working properly ?

I play hero all the time and you absolutely can't stop my swag ... I'm far too diesel at first person shooters to be taken a fool by some young punk bandits !! Daddy's all like watching the situation and shit and when he sees an opportunity of a fight or a confrontation I run in with my gun up and get everyone on the floor, or at least weapons dropped ... I then move the people to the closest building and usually have one person tie up the other , I ask what the fuck they doing causing trouble 'round here and why they are fighting ... Whoever sounds more suspicious gets the judgement of the Kush (honestly though I don't kill unless I get shot at or know that the person in question is a cold blooded murderer). I have the most fun playing hero , I have hundreds of videos of my 1,300 + hours of people trying to stop my swag but it was far too great , and I was far too hero - licious... Honestly waiting and assessing the situation is so much more fun than running and gunning all the time : if you know what you're doing you can run straight into berezino on a 50/50 and come out having saved a few people's lives and killed a few bandits with an amazing experience in between to tell about !

Had a nice run tonight through berezino all the way to gorka, surprisingly saw noone and foudn lots of evidence of respawning loot, there was only one item i couldnt pick up at all (that was on signapore 1PP server , then i switched to the 32/50 south something server and had no trouble picking things up -_- ) . At first i logged in with my first character that was near Lopatino, when i got in game i hear a truck race by me , in the excitement i tried guzzling down a water bottle as i was thirsty and wanted to try and run after the truck to see where he was going , i didnt realize it until 20 minutes later but it was gas i guzzled in that water bottle =/ i died ten minutes after that, my screen just persistently got whiter and whiter until i died although i was energized and hydrated and only yellow sick, i even tried taking my shoes off to see if the sick status would update to no avail. But after that i spawned into my destined character whom saw much evidence of loot respawning (every door open and cars opened but yet loot all around, some of it floating). He was also blessed enough to look like this by scavenging berezino -gorka (probably one of my favorite "survivor" outfits):
