He might have meant that he wasn't in the condition to play atm (maybe he/she was at work, or whatever?), there is no need to be rude. Btw, before switching to experimental I would check if the servers are up: it is not necessary to to switch in order to find them in the server list ;)

1) The ones you listed, on a full healt and full blood character. Clearly, if he's low healt, even a leg shot can be a death sentence. Leg shots almost always break legs, arm shots break arms. 2) Same as above, but 5.56 is a little less powerful. Take in consideration, for both, that clothing and items inside clothes can protect the body from part of the damage provided by the shot, so even a chest shot might not be a one shot kill. 3) The mapgul MP parts for the accuracy, the bipod for the same motivation and the ACOG as a scope. 4) Basic ones were in at the beginning, now aren't. Will be added when more important things are sorted, I guess. Now, those would probably ruin the experience. 5) Who knows. Not very high priority working in that.

We can't know if you are right or wrong, what is certain is that he wanted to be the only face of it, he gave some informations about the mod beeing free to continue...now he is the face he wanted to be, and people blames him (even if maybe somebody else from BI wants this...). That's quite normal. He is the face in the good and the bad times: not only the good ones.

That one :D

Admin of what? :P Anyway, read this discussion. You'll see that it has been written several times, with and without sources.

Welcome :)I'll try to explain you some things, even if writing on mobile is a pain: 1) every wednesday there is a mainteinance of the stable servers. This does not mean that there is an update every week, it is called mainteinance because that is what it is. That said, when they have updates to apply to stable they find convenient doing it in that specific occasion, but this does not mean every week. 2) there is no experimental version atm, so there is nothing to import on the stable branch. There has been no update today, the last one is the one we are discussing in this thread. 3) the experimental branch has always a different version of the game, and gets updated/put offline/ has mainteinance indipendently from stable servers (wich are always online) and usually in different days. 4) you cannot play on experimental if you have the stable version of the game and viceversa. For information about how to switch branches, read in the experimental news section. 5) the teams working on art, map, coding, fixing, animals, etc...are different teams. This means that while somebody is creating the new AI for zombies (they are a placeholder atm), artists are creating clothes. Why artists should stop working if the others haven't finished? Some teams are working on longer tasks, some on quicker ones, some on both. Every patch will always have some content and some functions and some things that are architectural and we don't see. The crossbow isn't good atm, we'll see in future updates. Nothing is definitive.

I do not agree with you. Devs follow reddit on a daily base - have you seen the comments they get on reddit? Here at least you can avoid insults (on reddit and Twitter that they follow there are bad ones) and everybody can express himself without the stupid votes. That's not the reason they don't follow the forums.

And so? Rocket said that the next update to stable will probably be at the end of May. As usual, they can change decision. Anyway, we must wait for new things on experimenal before that. Clearly, some things didn't made it this month.

No, he said and repeated half of april and in the worst case end of april. Then, last week, he said next update will be at the end of may. We don't have fireplaces yet, so those will be on experimental sometime this month.

Fixed.

Yes, an automatic windows update restarted those servers bringin' up again the DayZ instances. I can only say...LOL. Source: Hicks' answer in reddit, you can find it in the dev tracker. Lol.

You have to contact the BattlEye support. They deal with their bans, here on the forums you won't find help for this kind of problems :)

Yes they did. Soon, I hope...this week, they said. That alone, anyway, would not give us a real experimental patch I think, more it is needed. I can't wait to use the experimental branch again.

But it makes you look like a gangsta. Yo!!

You are wrong about that, they have been before and also for more time. I can't recall the exact period, but it happened when some "major" patches have been deployed to stable.

SaveMeJebus is right, even on low end PCs things like textures can be on very high and affect positively FPS. Search for guides on the forum, you'll have to play a bit with that. I posted to underline that this game is in early alpha, and that major client optimisation is usually a beta task: so you will see an improvement over time anyway, we'll just have to be (a lot) patient.

8) that's just an error in the server description, nothing on your side and it doesn't necessarily mean that you are on experimental. If you can join it and your client is in 0.44, then you are not opted in for experimental. As for the char wipes: are you sure you are joining the hive you want to? I mean between regular and hardcore. Then, you could have died the last time you logged out , weeks ago. We can't know that. As for the kickers: report those servers, what they are doing is against the rules. Then, join official servers (those with the country abbreviation and the number, for example GB 1-21, etc). Edit: as for the timer, devs are aware of the issue.

Actually it depends on your sistem and on what you are used to. For those running the game on laptops (normal ones, not supa gaming ones), for example, gaining 8 FPS can change the game experience. And, before somebody says it, I know, those are not super sexy hardcore gamers (maybe they just can't have a good hardware?)...but don't think that every dayz buyer is ;) Anyway, client optimisation (major one) is a late alpha and beta task, so we're still far far away from that.

It is Sunday afternoon in central Europe - nobody is working at BIS. Experimental servers have been down since wednesday (if I recall correctly, if not the day after). Hicks stated they'll come up again only with a new update, and they have some things to test this week. It can be tomorrow, or it can be friday. Who knows.

Have you tried to pick them in hands (the option is available only when hands are free)? This usually works for items not present in the vicinity screen. There are no scenery weapons, btw. Maybe you were experiencing desync?

You can't seem to read this and the other threads in this section :D There aren't, that's why you can't find the servers.

Hicks stated that experimental servers will come up only with a new update. It is sunday 02.00 AM in central Europe, so you'll have to wait at least one day (but I think more).

It is known and not intended...read this thread or browse the general section in order to read discussions about it. This happened to me when the patch was on experimental, and I read about a guy who had this problem on stable. If it's not present yet, you should do a report about this :)

Epic :D

They are not in game yet. No changelog mentioned those, only devblogs (wich means nothing) :)
