Absolutely love the christmas trees :D I was very much hoping for Teddy Bears again as well, or for the lights to somehow magically come on without the help of the chernarussian Electric Company ^^ Sliding issue with Cars still persists, got two cars stuck (One was a truck actually), after the new hotfix both cars were gone. Went to cherno as soon as I could but was unable to find one at the spawn points down there. Still can't get over the amount of zombies slowly making their way back into the game. Killed 15 of them in a group of 5 people and I am having an apocalyptic time doing it! Merry Christmas Devs, and thanks for the Christmas trees!!!

I, too have experienced the BattlEye Loop of death... Un- and re- installed, validated cache, files, ... I should have never switched to stable when the servers came down today, maybe it would still be working. This is gonna be a long night, I have to have this fixed ASAP. I am trying to read up about the specific issue, and somewhere it said that it could be my Anti Virus Software (AVG) not letting Battleye get through... is that a possibility? I wants my Zambies and Cars! *sniffles*

I am not giving in yet. I will eventually but I have to convince myself again and again that change is good first ;P I would love to have that painting option not only for cars but also for barrels, the red-white ones are really hard to hide unless you wanna lug it around for miles!

I finally found the hatchback in Cherno, missing 2 wheels, but including the glowplug and headlights as well as a battery. I decided to try and grab the glow plug for a better chance of others being unable to fix it before I could come back with tires. Uhm... yeah... I couldn't remove any of it... so I guess that means we now need some tools? I think I heard a wrench mentioned before. Now that I need one of course I will never find one :/ Other than that I'll see if I can get my guys together today and actually fix that thing up. One more Question: Say the Cherno Spawn Car gets fixed and driven away, will another one spawn in its place at some point? I am still trying to figure out the spawning thing when it comes to cars. Thanks guys and have a great day :D

Okay, haven't played with the newest update yet... are there any zombies outside the larger Cities now or is it still the case that Cherno is Zed Capital, together with Berezino and Zeleno? Oh, and is persistence currently working or no?

I am loving this patch so far! Zeds nowhere past Novo / Cherno / Zelenogorsk, rarely in Elektro, but Cherno is like Zombie Capital :D Today I rounded up 12 Zeds at one point and brought them all the way from Cherno to a little area past Skyrim Mountain and left them there to disperse and find some poor, unexpecting players ^^ Yesterday for the first time it felt like a true Zombie Apocalypse. I had 3 friends with me and we were just freaking surrounded by Zeds! 20 of them at least... Shooting guns has never been such a bad idea in Cherno ^^ We were all bleeding, scrambling for bandages... and in general just having a blast! Finally this game seems to turn into what it was supposed to be :) Desynch can be a biatch, that much is true. Ammo is rare, which is not a bad thing in general, but with freshies all looting the same towns it is quite a challenge to find any ammo at all. So maybe just a bit more balancing with distribution and respawning of these items would be okay I think. I don't mind having to search for it at all, but at some point, after about 2 hours, I'd like to be rewarded with at least some .22 ammo. All in all, I am loving it. Yes, it's laggy, desynch-y and a bit frustrating at times... but it is DayZ the way it was supposed to be played. I am truly having the time of my life and probably won't switch back to stable for a while. KOS can be a bit of a problem, but the rare ammo makes for fun encounters with crazy axe murderers ;-) Just a quick OT - on 1st person I am in Stary Yar - is anyone else ever going that far north to find stuff? No Zombies at all, which is sad, but I am hoping to make a nice base up there one day and live off the land... ^^

I have been streaming for about 5 months now, and DayZ is my go to game! 10 hours every day Mon-Fri :) http://www.twitch.tv/themeepfactor I enjoy both PvP and Survival play, but I always have an amazing time with my Meepers! Meep Meep!

I am actually pretty happy so far (sorry I haven't been around in a couple months), but performance took a huge hit for me. I watch my stream and everyone is like "Why is your performance / FPS / lag so terrible sometimes?" - So I went to do a thorough adjustment of graphic settings to make sure I wasn't missing anything, and it got a tiny bit better, but the big cities a hella laggy. Other than that I have to agree that the clothes spawnings (Prison Island, Military Guard Shacks and certain houses) are beyond ridiculous, but it looks like food / weapons / ammo actually start to respawn on a regular basis, and that makes me very happy. Of course, coast runner that I am, it's still tough to get going. One last thing I noticed is that you get to "starving" extremely fast, like in 5-7 minutes after spawning fresh. Is this just me? And has anyone had issues with Cholera? If I have to, I do drink from ponds / swamps and such but so far I really must've gotten lucky, I haven't become sick once. Happy trails everybunny :)

Downloading / switching. I need some serious distraction, so hopefully everything works out with this build :) Yay!

Hmmm... Around 6 servers are up, all of them packed except one with like 26 people on. Tried to connect, got wait for host, waited but host never appeared. Silly host. ^^ I'm kinda wondering if I should just switch to stable and go exploring for a while again, with no persistence there's no need to find and build camps, so why the heck not? Is anybody on one of the exp. servers? Just wondering about performance in general.

Good morning everyone. Sleepless night and exp. is down *sigh* I'm going back to bed, see you at 5.30 a.m. PST sharp :)

Yes, yes it is :) But there's more radio stations / broadcast towers than just green mountain, aren't there? It would be really awesome if you could hear players ^^ I would probably broadcast audiobooks from my computer. :lol: Today, our program contains "Salem's Lot", as read by Betty White or something LOL

There isn't yet but they'll have working radios soon :) Soon as in a few weeks I suppose.

Hahaha nice! I would also like to propose a special Zombie station, so we can have dancing Zeds ^^ Rock on, Zambies! In all seriousness though, it would be pretty cool if we could have nice, non creepy music to wile away a lazy afternoon fishing or gardening :)

So do we get to listen to Cherno-Rock then? Sergej and the Zeds? ^^ There's just gotta be some serious awesome things you can do with this. Climb the green mountain and start your own Radio Show!!

I saw SWE up, but that's it. Yay for Update? Edit: Yup, them's going down.

Yeah I know, I'm one of those folks who step foot out of bed in the morning and the Devil says: "Oh Shit, she's up!". So are we gonna see more updates after this one then / several iterations? Cause I am still hurt in-game and bleeding and was trying to bandage myself and now I'm probably still bleeding and suffering and dying in a most undesirable way ^^

Oh Boy! Yay Update. 5 a.m., coffee and a nice round of updated, unwiped DayZ. That's how my days should start out :) Oh dear... did the servers just go down again?

Which server are you playing on, IMT?

Wow, what a run I had this morning... Kamenka was my starting point, I visited Myshkino, Green Mountain (well, I made a big arch around it because the place frankly still creeps me out), went up to the castle where I found a mountain backpack, now I'm planning to just run around and see where I end up. Thing is, I found a heating pack, a gas stove, clothing, shoes... no food. I stopped right under the castle for the server restart and am planning on growing some crops to replenish my food stock, but I have to agree: Unless you have fishing gear (since no animals) all you can do is grow seeds if you are lucky enough to find some, and rely on apples. CLE seemed to be working for a couple of days, and then it just stopped, at least so it appears. Currently I am playing on a high ping server (AUS), which runs very stable and well, but I had a couple CTD's earlier this morning, again with the east servers. Soon as I spawned in *ding* - CTD.

Nah, I did that once and felt really bad about it LOL I just like to watch the dynamics develop between two strangers in relative safety ^^

Oh crap... Makes much more sense now... But maybe I can go people watching again. Just hang out in a hiding spot with binos and watch them swim for their lives :-) Loved to do that by solnichny, watch all the freshies fistfight each other. I would sit there for hours laughing my hiney off ^^ Ah yes, good old times :-)

Yeah but why in the name name of Zeds is Kamenka such a huge hotspot all of a sudden?? I just wanted to grow my pumpkins in peace, and all of a sudden there's a guy having a fire party at the water pump, and that was with 8 people on, next thing I know I find a damp shirt in one of the houses in Kamenka on another server... Where are all these folks coming from? Is there a nest of them somewhere? ^^ Come on people, dis mah town, you weave me awone now! ^^ Go find your own pumpkin patch! Grrrrr!

So... funny thing just happened to me. I just ran around, found an olive tactical shirt in a house and picked it up. When I took a closer look, it was damp. This can only mean one thing: Someone must have been wearing it and maybe went for a swim or something, right? Detective Demonica, off to search for more clues LOL

I too believe that loot re spawns very sparsely if at all. Try up north though, sometimes there's where the gettin' is good ;-)
