I still follow DayZ and it's development, but I haven't logged in for over 6months. Ive logged 1500+ hours and got burnt out and have yet to see anything that would rekindle that flame. Thanks for the welcome years later though 🙂

Persistence isnt working correctly. Its a known bug that server crashes can cause wipes of bases, tents, barrels and hidden stashes. They knew about this since before DayZ hit 1.0. I bet this is what happened to you

Even placed barrels will go bye bye, thanks to server crashes causing persistence wipes. This includes tents and bases as well

Dayz 1.0 on PC is basically .64 that they are calling 1.0. I haven't heard of a 1.0 release date for xbox yet, but you do not have to buy the game again.

I would much rather they fix the bugs that ruin the game than add something cosmetic, wouldn't you?

Why are they spending time implementing snow instead of fixing the myriad of game breaking bugs? I.e. fix night time or rather the flares at night, fix the server performance issues making zombies lag, fix server persistence issues and crashes, fix vehicles because they are a mess, etc...or even re implement some of the stuff we had in .62 like bows and tanning. I feel like the game is getting killed on reviews and instead of working on fixing it, they add snow?!

I like to pretend to be friends with someone first. That way I get my food to follow me and carry around my gear.

Does anyone else see random textures and stuff when looking through smoke off a road flare?

No matter how friendly someone says they are -- never turn your back on them if they are armed, and also NEVER EVER give an unarmed guy a gun. I forget who did it, but there was a series of videos of a guy on youtube who does social experiments on DayZ, and one of them was to give the person an empty and/or jammed gun and see if they shoot. Spoiler: Most of the time they did

Check brightness settings?

It's not experimental they are complaining about. This is the stable branch, aka "beta"

Whats the difference between Beta and 1.0?

What happened with bicycles? I feel like we are completely skipping beta and just calling it a 1.0. Truth be told DayZ probably shouldn't even be called beta by the end of this year. *Edit* guy above me already mentioned bicycles. What bothers me is the mod had SO many more features and stuff to do. This scaled back version is hardly the DayZ I signed up for.

Happens almost every update.

They should definitely post that kind of stuff on the official DayZ website, and not just twitter.

This glitch has been there since at least .60. They will get to it...one day

What kind of monitor setup are you using? A TV? Look up overscan and underscan options for your television...or, if you are using an NVIDIA graphics card, go into nvidia settings and set a custom resolution for your screen.

I was hoping to jump into a discord room with other DayZ players, but there is no official discord server. I feel like this game is going to be old before it even hits beta

Sorry for the misunderstanding! Anyways, I checked out that link but it isn't official. It is run by a guy named Dwarden and the community, with a cameo from Baty from time to time. I still haven't found an official Discord server for DayZ sadly :(. I don't think one exists....

Did I do something to piss you off or something ? Why is there so much anger in these forums? I appreciate the link for discord. The link is very simple, agreed. They should probably put the link where people can actually see it, instead of buried in a year old reddit post. For example, on their website, forums, or somewhere in game. Or maybe, they purposefully hid the link so that when someone like me asks, you guys get to make fun of people for not being able to find what should be easily accessible information.

Where did you find the link? I can't find it anywhere on website, forums, or in game. Thank you by the way!

Is there any difference (feature wise) between the last stress test and this experimental release?

had a stupid question, answered it myself.

They have said repeatedly that they are focused on the PC version 1st and foremost, and Xbone and PS will come after the PC version is at an acceptable spot in development. They haven't left console players in the dark, you guys just can't find the light switch :P

I have always defended DayZ and the lack of updates, but I am starting feel more and more like this. Even .63 experimental won't save the game for me at this point...the biggest issue I run into is there is just nothing to do. Once you are geared up, you go pvp until you die and repeat. There is no endgame or progression. The cycle of gearing up ----> die ---->gear up again was fun with friends for a while, but ultimately we have moved onto other games. Looking at the checklist for .63, I see them fixing some of the same problems that have plagued DayZ from the start. That is awesome, but isn't Beta supposed to be feature complete, and work transition into bug fixing? I know that the 1st release won't have all the features, and that the rest of the features are planned for future releases. I just can't call it Beta until it's actually Beta in practice. With the first release of .63, there is still literally nothing to do. Sure, I will login and look at the new shiny animations, but after that back into hibernation mode I go. Until there is actually something to do, no amount of polish or new animations will get back the players that DayZ has lost.
