- Server Performance (Degrading) This issue has been resolved, and we're seeing a 3x increase in server performance on the current 0.58. As well, the degrading curve of server performance over large spans of time has been resolved. Thus, the experimental branch servers will be operating on a 12 hour restart schedule now. Better server performance = More players, More zeds & More animals!!!

Todays experimental build is aimed at resolving both of those issues. With the first iteration of per-building maximums, and bug fixing on item lifetime cleanup, we'll be monitoring the loot heat maps - as well as aiming for another experimental update tomorrow (assuming everything works out alright) with point-of-interest structure limits. - Brian Hicks / Lead Producer http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/227255-status-report-21-jul-2015/

I didn't see anything that looked remotely like a loot puke last night. After several hours of scrounging, I still had pretty mediocre gear and I even had to resort to eating apples a couple of times. Of course I expect that there is probably some variability between servers.

I gave a battery to Dudester, so you guys will be able to hit the highway tonight.

A couple of us have been there several times over past few days (on different servers) and we have seen the same 'splosion. None of the folks in my group have experienced any errors/crashes. I would recommend that you submit a bug report.

I sat in a pond for over twenty minutes tonight and it didn't cool me off at all. All it did was to make my gear wet. On the other hand, swimming did help. Standing in the rain for an extended period helps, too. Unfortunately, you can't always find some rain when you need it. Speaking of finding something when you need it, there are still large swaths of the map, which seemingly have no loot whatsoever.

You're a real sport! Thanks!!!

Yeah, what was up with that? There were so many antisocial types on that server last night. I'm sorry that your buddy, Trauma, got hacked to death. Dudester and I were scavenging, I think we were looking for a hoe, or a shovel, so that we could do a spot of farming, when we heard the blood curdling screams. I kept asking for your location, but all you kept saying was, "He's got an ax! He's chasing us! He's got an ax!" I ran in your general direction and, fortunately, I saw the miscreant standing over you, with his ax raised in the air. I came up behind him, so he never saw it coming. I put a couple of pills into "ax maniac" and then I rendered first aid. No sooner did we get you onto your feet, then we saw "red shirt maniac" closing in on us. He abruptly changed his mind, though, when he saw Dudester and me coming at him with AKs, I am pretty sure that he combat logged ... pussy! I'm convinced that he was the asshole who was taking pot shots at Dudester, while we were trying to find you and Trauma. Just when I thought that the dust had settled, we had that other jackass at the well, who would not respond to simple commands. I think that we were more than patient with him and gave him every chance to comply. He just chose not to. All in all, it was a pretty exciting couple of minutes. Dudester was seriously trippin' on adrenaline, so I'm glad that we finally had a chance to relax and grow some pumpkins. Thanks for the good time!

Someone find a glow plug and head up there!

Use the stick, Luke.

Most likely ...

And MP5s and SKSs and PMKs and ACOGs and binoculars and lions and tigers and bears ... oh my!

The servers are still running warm. There really is no reason to build a fire, except to cook. If you get wet, you merely have to jog around for five to ten minutes, in order to warm up and dry off. Last night I spawned fresh at Berezino and I didn't find a desirable jacket until I got to Devil's Castle. The whole time I was wearing a T-shirt and I didn't get a single message about being cold. And no, I didn't run once. I was just walking and jogging and I was perfectly warm the entire time. I'm sure that it would have been a different story if I had gotten caught in the rain, though..

I only had one incident last night, where I couldn't manipulate items in my inventory. I selected an item on my hotbar (which worked as expected) and then afterwards, I could interact with my inventory items again.

Both the leather and regular sewing kits are in; I found one of each last night. The convoy and military jail spawns were mentioned in a recent Status Report: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/226824-status-report-08-jul-2015/ Love R. Lee! He's always good for a laugh!!!

In the spirit of trading opinions, I think that you are jumping to conclusions. I hunt/stalk players every time that I have a chance. My objective is to 1) hone my tracking and covert ops skills and 2) find their camp/cashe. I'm not saying that I've never killed another player, but I don't recall any that weren't either in self defense, a planned match-up, or retribution for brazen asshattery.

Guns don't KOS people, asshats do! If you're going to be an asshat, it really doesn't matter which weapon(s) you use. And, just for the record, just because you have the right to be an asshat, that doesn't nullify my right to call you an asshat.

I was just poking around on the Trello page. http://trello.com/c/QlEAgh9c It appears that we've hit a CLE milestone. Reading between the lines, it looks like the CLE can now not only control the loot types that spawn, but also the total number of each specific loot item. This is but another rung in the development of the CLE ladder, but it is an important one. While I doubt that anyone will bust out the Champagne tonight (I, myself, will have a celebratory glass of Laphroaig!), it is exciting to see that the devs are making steady progress on obtaining the fine grained control over the loot spawns, that we need. Now, if we can only get those spawn points worked out ... Patience!

:thumbsup: :beans:

Which industrial building? Pics, or it didn't happen.

I expect that it is fixed in their internal builds and we'll get a chance to verify it on the next EXP build, before the whole shootin' match gets rolled out to stable.

Seat of the pants, the number of hunting scopes has been nerfed, but they are definitely still out there. On the other hand, I have only seen a couple of PU scopes in 0.58 and all of them have been damaged.

It means that China has declared war on the US. This map provides more information (and pretty colors): http://map.norsecorp.com/
