They are testing out mechanics for respawning loot. Which I think means lowering and raising the number of players to see which works best. And I've read that some people have found the new pistol added. Oh boy that's great! What color is it? To be honest I'd rather be called fanboy than be seen as a pouty malcontent that can't even operate a web search.

I believe they are starting to test loot respawning. So that is why there are network problems.

Nobody here feels sorry for you. The info is not that hard to find.

I really like playing hardcore but at night when I play most of the servers are empty and the only friend I have that will actually play 1pp only plays during the day, so I'm usually playing on 3pp servers.

Pistol whipping incoming soon? Does maybe implementing a "charging" system like they are trying with throwing help at all in this situation? Like jabs don't do much shock damage but a well placed charged punch does more? However I do think that blunt melee weapons should do much more shock damage than punching should. It seems unrealistic to pass up on baseball bats because my fists will work much better.

Looking forward to fire as well. That's the only thing missing from the last devblog. Hopefully if they don't get it to EXP by maintenance time, guaranteed updates, accelerated time, and the new items will be tested enough to put stable. Not sure if that is realistic to expect or not.

Good video. I wish more people would take time to explain their tactics like this. Often when I die in this game I wonder what is was I did wrong and how I might be able to do it better.

Cool. I am near Chernaya Polana so I'll have to check it out when I get a chance to play next.

Where are people finding crossbows? Are they in the police/military spawns or just scattered around randomly?

I'm kind of confused about the title OP. Which of you was the retard?

Thanks!

How loud is the crossbow? Loud enough to give away your position? Any idea of what the range is? How are binocs? Sorry for all the questions, not able to play today.

Not to be rude, but if they had hacks that knew where you were how did you manage to hide from them?

Does anyone have any idea of when the EXP servers restart? If it's any help I was playing on the US-1 80 man accelerated time Regular mode server and it reset at 9pm CST. Didn't play long enough to see the next restart (played for about an hour and a half).

Teaming up makes you immune to damage? No thanks. Not even Wasteland does that.

I didn't experience any. However I was north of the NWAF and not around any other players (that I know of) or large cities. I was on the 100 player server though and it was full to near full.

Update on new town: Just ran there on the new EXP build and it seems to be the same for now.

Just played on the 100 person server they had set up: New mouse controls are awesome. Doesn't even feel like the same game. Makes the game feel like it's running smoother. Frames seem about the same as before. Wasn't really around other players or cities so couldn't really test all that well. Throwing things is a bit slow, but works. Don't know if this is a bug or on purpose, but zombies do not die from one hit from a fire axe anymore. I had to hit them in the head like the machete. Day/Night cycle is pretty cool, but the 40x they have set on the 100 person server is a bit too fast IMO. Not sure what benefit the "guaranteed updates" are giving but I had minimal inventory lag and no desync and the server was full with 100 people or near it.

Only been 10 minutes and already complaining. If this wasn't the DayZ forum I might be surprised :)

Server admins will be able to control how fast time moves. Faster day/night cycle.

A client update still means something has changed. Who knows what it entails on the server side.

There's people discussing it here right now: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/186509-new-experimental/ One person claims that their client for EXP is updating ATM.

Just noticed this as well. Did those servers have those "Springfield" and "Durango" descriptions on them prior to the maintenance period?

Does anyone have any insight on this: I just checked the server browser and all 4 of the DE EXP servers have the words Accel. Time / "Springfield" or "Durango" in the title and under time it says "etm24.00000" Has this been like this for long or is it new. I haven't messed with the EXP servers for like a week now.
