The inland towns which you suggested are always looted first, because they are on the way from south coast to the aero, and this is the path most players take as soon as they spawn. And guess why New Petrovka was the only town which was not looted? Because very few people go to airo through Petrovka. I guess Stary Yar was not looted either. Maybe it still will not be looted by the time I get home from work, I should visit it. I can visit southern inland towns you suggested, but I'm pretty sure they are completely empty. The problem is, this was on a second day after maintance restart, in two days!! There was no loot anywhere! I'm playing on official servers, so I played with persistance enabled before, this kind of situation was ok for monday/tuesday - 6, 7 days after wednesday restart, but not on second day after wednesday restart! This is not normal!

I'm in love with new zombies. New weapons and mechanics are very nice too. Overall is the best updates so far. I'm playing for over an year now.

You can still kill them with melee, but it requires some brain now: it's harder to spin around them and body/leg hits do very little damage to them. The best thing is the Axe To The Head - solves all the problems since...since axe was invented. 2 head hits and new "OP" zombie is dead, not very OP to me. I also noticed that despite they still ruin your gear very quickly and break your bones quite often, the actual damage per hit was greatly reduced. But yeah if there are 3 of them or more melee is pretty much suicide right now. I certainly hope that Rocket will drastically reduce a chance of our gear being ruined by zombies. I'm ok with zombie breaking my limbs though. I wish instead of gear-ruining-limb-breaking-fist-of-the-north-star zombies we had "Grab & Bite" classic zombies instead.

Agree, something is quite wrong with the loot. Cities are almost empty, except a crapload of wool coats.

The only thing is left to do is increase the amount by 2 or 3 times and they will be just at they were in the mod, forcing players to join up against them instead of KOSing each other. Something is wrong on your side, I can clearly see their attack animation. I was attacked by 3 as soon as I logged in Svetolyarsk. Also there are some military loot in Svetloyarsk now - along with 1-2 military zombies. But yes there are too few right now.

Finally they are like the ones we loved - the ones from the mod. But even better - they have very fluid animation and don't stop moving while attack you! They are awesome! :thumbsup: P.S. Didn't read forums yet, bet it's full of KOSers and general PVPers tears.

@Devs I greatly dislike console-like "shoulder" third person camera in any game and mod single-player games for centered third-person camera. Surprisingly, you can find such mod of almost any mod-friendly game, so I am not alone out there. So please, please make an option for centered third person camera in game settings! New third person camera:

New cooking system looks pretty awesome! It adds a lot of depth to the survival aspect of the game, a lot atmosphere of adventure to the game! But there is a one big problem with cooking: To cook you need a portable stove, a pot and a pan. This is 10 slots. Yes, food will probably be not as nutritious in 37 as it is now (e.g. upcoming rice changes). Yes, cooking will give you some benefits. But! You will soon find that it's much easier and more practical to just carry some canned food and a couple of water bottles than have 10 slots (13 with matches and kitchen knife) locked out with cooking equipment. Here are my suggestions: 1) Keep Pot 4 slots (2x2) but turn it into a food only container with 4 slots. 2) Resize Stove to 1x1 when it doesn't have a gas can attached (1x2 with gas can attached). 3) Resize pan to 1x2 or 2x1. 4) Resize minot cooking items like kitchen knife to 1x1.

How about you get mirrion dorrars? Not everyone have a friend to carry bonus items.

Sorry I don't track devs/read forums very much and I wonder what happened to update scheldued for march 5th? Didn't see any news or something, something went wrong?

SmashTThanks a lot for your answer!

Ugh, can you be a little bit more clear?

Okay, thanks a lot for info! Eh, what exactly happened? Someone started to bash devs "hurr you promised give update NAO!!1" ?

My PC spec: My game crashes very often (every 5-15 min) saying "Error: Device reset failed, error 8876086c". I know this bug was fixed in Arma2, why it re-appears in DayZ? I know XP is outdated, but why instead of discarding XP users just apply patch from Arma to DayZ? Its not like this patch changes anything except fixing this bug.

Because unlike Win7, it's stable.

SenchaSo to enjoy DayZ i have to enjoy BDSM?

janol God. If I don't like player interaction, which if is mostly KOS right now, it doesn't mean I'm bad at shooting things. Trust I'm good at killing other players, since I was originally playing Arma (and Flashpoint) long before DayZ came out. The thing is, DayZ for me is a survival game like Fort Zombie or State of Decay. It's about zombies, exploration and survival. I have friend to play with. For what reason I need anyone else? To screw them over? To let them screw us over? The way player interaction works right now turns this game not into a survival game, but into a shooter, which I had pretty much enough. Or even BDSM simulator, which I'm not really fond of. I'm really looking for U37, hopefully they will increase zombie amounts to hordes and also increase both zombie HP and damage at least 5 times. Sencha Please do.

Wow. Just wow. Experience of what? Noobkilling? If you want to play exploration & survival game - go to low pop servers. If you want to play pvp shooter or want to force feed disinfect spray (or being force fed disinfect spray - whatever you prefer) to handcuffed people - go to high pop servers. With what you suggest (50%?) it will always be high pop server. Please don't force what you like on other people. Also don't force your view of "experience of DayZ" on others.

No. I'm completely against this. Sometimes I want to have some PVP fun and go to 30+ online servers. Sometimes I want to survive and explore and go to 5- online servers. Removing this information will ruin game experience for players who don't like to be blind.

Lucky you. My friend broke his legs 3 times for last 3 days because of bugs ONLY. First time he fell through the floor. Second was when he climbed up the ladder, but then was pushed back (by magic) and fell down. Third one was when I accidently pushed her through the wall and he nearly died from falling from second floor. I think fall damage is extremely exaggerated in DayZ and should be reduced - you will not break your legs by following 3m, even if you carry a goddamn mountain BP full of bricks. Not to mention your pants/items damage which is simply ridiculous. I myself didn't break my legs even once in DayZ standalone because I have good PC and nearly never desynch, but my friend I'm playing with clips through walls/stairs/anything very often. Hopefully that anti-desynch system they are working on will help her

First - this is VERY long time away, secondly, do you really expect vehicles to be a bottomless locker they used to be? And yet still - 10+ slots of equipment to cook vs+ 10 slots of actual food.

Damnyourdeadman, Nicko2580, liquidcactus Yes, when you are veteran player and know how things work you are excited about a new item you find and you don't want any "spoilers" about it - it's fun for you, veteran player, to find out how it works. However not all players have pristine mountain backpacks on their backs with a pack of protector cases to carry a ton of "fun" items and experiment with them. The most common backpack currently is 5x5 and you will pack it with essential survival items very quickly, leaving no space for items which purpose is unclear or unknown. Please don't blame players for not experimenting with items if game outright discourages them to do so. I do agree that detailed description is not needed, but at least some hints on how to use item properly should present.

Currently color is the only way to customize your gear in game. I have seen a lot of shirts/pants/boots using same model with different color. I really don't see any reason why you shouldn't let color your gear? Maybe not Spray Can, other item - any way to customize your items will be appreciated.

Huh, I was pretty sure they just apply a different color filter to the same texture. I was wrong?

I was just kicked from a "private" server. I also see a lot of "join=kick" servers right now. Can you please tell me how to report a server and if devs actually punish these servers or reports just stockpile and no action is take for weeks? I can also record a Video in 720p as evidence.
