Here: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/224552-status-report-29-apr-15/ As someone who did not play the Mod, I missed it initially as well. Also, some are claiming that this is a "confirmation" that the military tents are returning and I wouldn't go so far as to say that. Brian himself cast some doubt on it last night in the same breath on Twitter:

I'm looking for: -STANAG and CMAG magazines (30, 40, 60) -M4 Handguard RIS (w/p)-ACOG Optics (w/p)-M68 CompM2 Optics (w/p)-5.56 ammo I have: -Magazines, clips, and ammo of all varieties (except 5.56 and associated magazines) -Protector cases (d & p) I'm most interested in getting 5.56 ammo. If you're willing, I've got a surplus of every other kind of ammo and I could do a straight trade (or even 2:1 trade) for whatever kind you want.

Holy crap... I actually agree with something you said :) "Player seem to think isn't a part of DayZ". Yeah, not a loaded statement or anything. Your opinion is fact -- got it :rolleyes: This x 1,000,000. The whining becomes even more pointless when you realize that what they really want is literally impossible to obtain because it's completely intangible. I guess you don't ever hunt then. When you kill an animal in the Standalone, you get: meat, pelt, bones, fat, and guts. All of those things can be used for something except the fat, which will have a use in the near future for cooking. Hunting is also getting more and more difficult due to animal AI, so it's also becoming more rewarding in the sense of being a challenge.

No, they don't. Not anymore. Any wipes from this point forward, unless officially stated otherwise, will be pre-announced isolated wipes that don't follow a schedule. Please do not spread misinformation.

I would say it's almost guaranteed that they will be wiping persistence when 0.56 goes to Stable. There's no convincing scenario in my head where that doesn't happen. Depending what kind of changes are made to the inventory system and things like gun attachments, we may even see a character wipe in 0.56 or 0.57. It's "about time" anyway, really.

I don't think he meant that it will be months from now until it's in, just that it takes several months from start to finish. I'm sure they can be working on more than one concurrently. Last I remember hearing any news about cars, I could have sworn they said the larger sedan would be coming next.

Hicks posted this little teaser on Twitter earlier. Not sure yet what it means since no information was provided, but at the very least it looks like this section of land in the north will be getting developed somewhat. This is at coordinates 056 008. There is speculation, based on what can be seen in the picture, that this is more than just a teaser about map changes. I'll keep this updated if he says anything else.

You had to have willingly skipped straight over the picture. What was posted is about as not-urban as it gets.

I see buildings and paved areas as well, in addition to paths that do not currently exist there. I imagine it will look a lot like the farm area that got added in 0.55 near Tisy, or similar to the area around Belaya Polana.

In regard to the image posted with today's Status Update: My best estimation is that this is in Gvozdno, specifically at the intersection located @ 086 035. Looks like they'll be uprooting the cabin that is there currently and replacing it with one of these new "village stores." Sounds like they will be doing this in a number of places just like when they added police stations to the game.

I see it being placed in one of the older (legacy) towns or cities just to spice things up a bit.

"Sniper in the tower!"

Haven't used it against a human, but it's more than effective against animals and zombies. Well-placed body shots on an animal will down them in one. Let me put it this way: I always loved the LongHorn, and the switch to .308 did not reduce its effectiveness in any noticeable way.

This is what I'm waiting for. It has fantastic iron sights to use in the event that there isn't a scope available, too.

Well yes, but this was more just for fun. Not so much educational, just entertaining.

I firmly believe that people are looking too much into that. Everything that has been said about rivers up to this point has been that they will remain simple due to the game engine. I would love to be wrong, though ;) My speculation is that it is just another round of map changes for the North. I don't think this will be a full-blown/named town, but I also don't think this is the only area where we will see changes. The entire town of Smirnovo has yet to be added, Skalka is begging for a recreation area, and of course the military base in the far northwest.

I got requests on Reddit to include information with these photos next time. Like, little fun facts and translations and that kind of thing. Anyone have any thoughts on that? Good idea?

I'm looking for: -PSO-1 Scope (w/p) x2 -Weapon Flashlight (w/p) x2 (preferably with a battery!) -M4 Handguard RIS (w/p) -ACOG Optics (w/p) -M68 CompM2 Optics (w/p) -MP5 Buttstock (w/p) -300 Rnd ammo box (w/p) -M9A1 bayonet (w/p) -5.56 ammo (as much as you've got to spare) -Burlap I have: -Magazines and clips of every variety (except STANAG/CMAG) -Protector case (p) I've got several tents FULL of stuff, including a lot of odds and ends. Other than M4-related equipment, I've got a bit of everything -- just ask :)

This. You'll be able to at some point I'm certain, but they want to make sure it's a pain in the ass so you won't go running across the map with it like you would a second primary weapon.

"Night Trucks" Bonus shot:

Thanks! I'm only planning on doing the major cities to begin with, but if there is enough interest I may do some of the more unique/important smaller towns as well. I have a soft spot for Krasnoe and Tisy ;)

East Coast!

Everything is turned up as high as it can go, with a few exceptions. My postprocessing is usually either very low or turned off entirely and shadows are usually turned down to a lower setting as well. Gamma is ~20%, and brightness is ~80%. The key to producing good color is adjusting your position so that the sun is either to your back or far to your side; if you look in the direction of the sun or at a right angle to it, things will tend to look darker and less colorful. Agreed! Thank you :) I reeeeaallly need to learn more about image editing to play around with these things. I basically know nothing :(

Thanks! No add-ons or effects here. 100% raw screenshot JPEGs. I will say this: I keep my gamma down around 20%.
