Me and a friend are now waiting it out to log back into our experimental characters , I have a tent in hand and an sks with 30 rounds along with plenty of warm clothes, food , water and matches . My friend is armed with a moisin with long range scope and the same amount of food and matches ,,, hypothermia go away please we don't want you lol !! Someone please post a fix if they find one cuz someone said on this thread that he couldn't warm up even with a fire :0 ! I don't wanna stay on stable forever ! Exclamation point !

There's no axes spawning ! Or at least the spawns are drastically reduced .. Me and a friend have searched all of Svetlo olsha and the farm buildings in between but no avail :( we need to make a fire so we don't die of hypothermia when we have to log out !!

4 things me and a friend noticed with this patch : 1.) shadows are displaying very oddly like shapes of shadows covering certain areas of interiors .. 2.) zombies don't aggro at all whatsoever :( . 3.) hypothermia ALWAYS sets in after relogging lol it was hilarious me and a friend scrambling around for an axe and matches (found the matches then we both died lol ) and also status effects don't show , (status doesn't go away/ change for anything until relogging ) 4.) bodies seem to despawn (disappear) after taking any thing from them .. I took a compass from my dead friends (died of hypothermia) body and i left to go raid another building , he arrived 5 mins later with a new spawn he'd been running to his body with and it was already gone , it had onl been ten minutes since he died :( . Hope to see a hotfix soon but otherwise great work I love the balaclava and I can't wait to see all the other items !! :)

Yup it's confirmed .. Log out and back in : instant hypothermia .

There are , you must relog to see them .. I stupidly thought I wasn't getting wet or full after eating in the rain on the roof of the police station . I log in and out and I see I'm hypothermic and stuffed lol !

Found this bad boy so i could look like a scrub. http://imgur.com/yRPje8D

Try restarting steam , also try switching to stable then back to experimental after you have restarted steam , that might help .

Just changed from stable and I'm getting an update of 334.1 mb , the 990.8 mb update should be the first experimental patch of .49Edit : maybe that was just the switch from stable to exp ? I'm playing now to see if theres servers up

So are wolves truly in this update to experimental as Odin said ? I would love that .

Yes that's pretty much on the mark ... But we just don't have a real date for the .49 push to stable , it's really based off of if experimental is updated today and how well that goes .

I'm getting an undeniable feeling that it is :/ .. It's been silent all morning, they're either so close to being done it's not worth tweeting or dev tracking til it's done but then again it could be that their so deep in problems that cropped up that they're having trouble solving it :( . Come on dayz devs were rooting for ya deliver this baby !

Yes yes yes ! But it has to be better than the countless prisons in the mods , every mod seemed to have a different prison but the only one I was impressed by was the Dayz Aftermath mod prison at kabanino (there was even a hemp and weed farm at this prison) .. Aftermath - the only mod to get anywhere close to the awesome survival feel that dayz standalone has achieved .. I miss dayz aftermath :,( .

I really like this idea ! It totally enables books to be useful and not just for fires !! We don't need people starting off with books though , they are everywhere and in my opinion there should be less "Dracula" and "old testaments" around and be filled in with these helpful survival guides .. Actually keep Dracula I sometimes carry that around for good luck ;) .

Wow . I really like all of your ideas . Begin jealousy and mad bean giving .

I really like the rain , I've never gotten hypothermic from it but I do play it safe so to speak; If I'm a fresh spawn I wait to make rags out of my t shirt and my first objective is to find an axe some matches and wood and sticks .. Then it's time to find a rain coat or heavy coat so I can run in the rain almost non stop . At that point your character is back up to a modern mans healthyness .. But if I was running around hungry and thirsty with just a sweatshirt on running through the rain for miles (especially if I wasn't sleeping and eating regularly) then I guarantee any of us would get sick in 30*F weather , as our diet and sleeping patterns have a huge affect on our health .. If it was the apocalypse most of our immune systems would start to crumble so to speak , and until we got into some cycle of always having a good place to rest and a lot of food and water it would make sense to get sick easily ( not to mention all the diseases and viruses now airborne because of all the people that died , there's gotta be some of that in a post apocalyptic atmosphere) . But hypothermic should be the last stage (like others have said maybe you catch a cough and cold first , then the flu which makes you vomit , then hypothermia if you're still in a cold wet area for hours without drying off ) . BUT like some people on mountains have experienced while Mountain climbing , hypothermia won't always set in last , if you're healthy but your cold and wet and stay cold and wet you should skip right to hypothermia because many healthy mountain climbers can succumb to this after getting lost in a storm without contracting some virus first . Can't wait for experimental update !!

Relax yall , the Desync and lag will slowly be worked out all the way through alpha and beta so let's get used to that as it is not as bad when you have a good internet connection and decent rig . The ragdoll causes bodies to slide down slopes (which will be fixed) and the body time limit thing will turn into bodies decaying (seeing as how the last few dev blogs have talked about the "life time" of items , id assume this would mean bodies/containers too eventually) , or in the least have a much longer despawn time like 45 mins .

They've been slowly "breaking" so to speak , going inactive with either 0/40 players and stuck at a reset time like 09:00 or 14:00 ... They haven't talked about a fix yet , most likely because of the new experimental update coming hopefully tomorrow .. They always fix these problems after a week or so though , this time it was just more rough on the servers my guess is because of the more updated loot spawning system the temperature system and general Desync taking the servers down one after the next when they get packed full of 40 people for a day .

Damn that's rough . I was really hoping to see it today , it seems like there's always a last minute issue so I really hope there's not another one that pushes it off til Wednesday , tomorrow's my only day off :( !

I've only had wooden arrows made from a guy down the street who gives them out for free. my long bow after a full draw , can definitely break those bitches on impact , and the tips seem to be made out of some kind of tin or something (weird old man ) but out of my short bow, if I'm hitting a soft target the arrow usually always stays straight and unbroken .. I definitely believe that wooden arrows work but like others said there could be a risk ... But hell me and my cousin doused one of the arrows in gasoline and wrapped a small gasoline rag around it and lit her up , shooting it is scary and it was a bit weighed down at the tip but it burned the target a little before we put it out , so maybe if the wooden arrows are able to be broken easily in the game , we could add fire and poison to them to make them worth while (and more realistic so there's no super wooden arrows) as the improvised bow almost looks long enough to be a long bow so technically they would break if we had just widdled it out of a small thin stick :0

Were you at pax prime ? Otherwise I don't know how you got on there :/ . But the build was supposedly "super secret" they didn't let anyone record the build show off at the convention so it has to be something big / new ... But they did say they were recording it instead of streaming it so my guess is when .49 hits stable they will release it (the video of pax prime ) .. Or maybe well never see It and just forget it ever happened lol .

Honestly after this aks74u I really hope we move onto some other weapons , I get the whole "true to the area vibe" but I don't wanna see more than 3 identical weapons (identical to the common eye) especially if they are going to make them use all the same ammo just for loot tables sake .. Id rather be seeing variants of 5.45/5.56 weapons as there are so many that don't look exactly alike .. One weapon I would love to see is fn-fal my favorite carbine of all time :) no optics or anything just bare iron sight one shot ftw.

Me and a friend tried during patch .44 , that's when walkie talkies would show the frequency in the bottom (where direct communication is , you could switch between direct and a couple of frequencies) we both had one , were both on the same channel one inside the fire station tower one outside the perimeter of the fire station in an apartment (far enough away to not hear each other speak Ingame just in case ) and we could not hear a thing .. Maybe they have been secretly reworked but as far as I know they do not work .

Armor and clothing is still very much a work in progress , no reason to believe that they are done with it just because it hasn't had love in a while ! But I regularly kill "fully kitted" people , the best way to do it is to go for the legs , a moisin shot usually always breaks their legs in one shot (aim for crotch no joke it will break one of their legs and it's a bigger target then the legs also the pants have the least protection by far ) and when they fall reposition yourself to confuse them (if you play first person , as their face will be shoved in the grass or floor ) and shoot em once more . Although im looking forward to having some real armor values , i.e Ballistic helmets protecting only against small calibre rifles/pistols , and when Kevlar comes in (real Kevlar vests ) they could protect against pistols and long range rifles that aren't too high powered . Edit : also there is a damage value called "shock" that adds into your overall damage when attacked , I believe they are going to expound on this and make it more complex so that if you recieve too much shock in one hit (like from a high powered moisin ) you will stutter, like dropping to your knees or falling on your butt (or go unconcious easier if they don't add some sort of stuttering system , although I believe it was planned some time ago ).

I've been experiencing a lot of weird deaths lately .. Mostly your situation , where you know exactly where your enemy is and you know you're covered by all angles but somehow you die .. This happened twice to me today and my explanation isn't hackers but the worst Desync we've seen since .45 patch came out with all the rubber banding. I say this because today I logged into the novo tower and while it was still doing that 20 seconds of lag thing when you log in , I could see through all the walls and floor as if the tower wasn't even there (it was just my graphics loading in slowly I guess ) but I instantly see a man on the other side of the wall coming towards the door frame of the stairwell (because I could see through the wall for a second because of aforementioned graphic weirdness) and I shoot once towards the door frame to try and slow him down while I run down the stair case , after I shoot I lagged for a decent 3 seconds and heard nothing , no gun shots and then I was dead . So my guess is ping and Desync ( he could have leaned over out from cover for a second and shot you , Desync made it so you didn't receive the sounds of the gunshot or see him the instant he came out ?

Lol I like this idea ! I usually just smoke while im waiting for the rain Ingame to end (lolzskis) but next time I'll come to this thread lol .
