Why bother with 0.61? Put the whole team on Beta!? I feel no need waiting 6months for a new update and then realize no cars.. DayZ needs this: Modern feel - Playercontroller etc New vegetation - visual upgrade etc New models and textures New netcode New physics Im sorry but - "New everything" sorta suits my claim Skip DayZ development other than beta build!!

Best news since release on steam! Well done! What I would do now is: no more updates on stable/experimental until launch of internal build to experimental. From there on: no more stable. After that beta ?

Yeah its totaly wack

gjeeez.. Have you guys not read Brians post about the controlled the food supply in real time. They have deliberetly changed the supply to make the game harder. And I love it! (Build a camp ;) )

@SMoss In terms of advanced melee, gunfight, base building, wild life, horticulture, graphics, animations, net code, loading times etc etc: Is this game engine even suitable for the goal with DayZ at all? I'm starting to wonder. Looking where we are, what's done, what's planned and the fact that it's 2016. Sadly, my answer is no.

Great post Brian! You are not rambeling about! This is the kind of post/info me and a lot of ppl in the community hungers for!! I feel dayz development lack information about the development and the ideas/thoughts/goals of the developers! Great informative post Brian, also lucky for me, I agree with you a 100%! Keep up the good work! (I've been negative or critical in a lot of my posts, i won't change my mind, the development takes way too long and is a joke in a way with way too few developers on this game.. News are also too seldom. still good post)

Red and green school houses all the time on the bed. Usually spawn 3 at a time :/

I disagree with you, beta will not come in the end of this year with the current staff. It seems to me as if around 5 persons are working with dayz and not full time, and Brian is more like the visionary and not a technical developer. But ofc I hope that you are right!

I dont like it. I always shout friendly but always get shot at. Nowdays i just try and hide or run..

Haha! Nice find! In 0,60 I love farming, and buildning my camp :)

Yes, I can see that now, sorry. I've edited my second post, (damage done?) Sorry for the hijack. Lastly, i agree with your posts, I hope the developers takes a look at your first post.

I've edited this post for beeing too judgemental. However a last comment from me, sometimes the reality be hard enough when you look look back..

Wow man! This is one of the best posts i have ever seen on this forum. And to see you S3V3N posting this, you have been defending the devs like a fanboy, and now this, good man! I agree 100% of your post. Have you guys seen the roadmap for 2015? It feels like a joke! I mean I have been following several mods during my gaming years and they have similar newspost intervalls like this professional devteam?! I mean DayZ went into early access project, but the project got to end, How long does a videogame develop time take?! Bring in your ppl bohemia and get right. Look at this roadmap for 2015 by Smoss.. gosh! The DayZ development team in association with Bohemia Interactive would like to announce that having completed our first year of Early Access development, we have reached an important project milestone. Looking forward into the opportunities and obstacles of the coming year, we would like to share our plans and goals for 2015. These plans change over time, and internally the team has reviewed our progress this year against where we want DayZ to be at 1.0. Compiling this data we have completed a light roadmap based on our experience with the project for the upcoming year, and this is a taste of exciting things to come that we can look forward to. Q1 2015 Basic vehicles - V3S yes, vehicle maybe Central economy (advanced loot distribution) New renderer - Released 15th of June 2016 New Zombie AI - Nope Basic stealth system (zombies, animals, ...) Nope Diseases - Almost nope Q2 2015 Advanced vehicles (repair, modifications, ...) Nope Advanced animals - life cycle, group behavior Nope, mayve group behaviour Player statistics - Nope New UI Stamina / fatigue - UI came with 0.60 in 2016 experimental Dynamic events - 2016 Q3 2015 Traps - Bearly Barricading - Nope Character life span + soft skills - Nope Animal predators - birds - Nope Aerial transport - nope Console prototype - nothing we know of Q4 2015 BETA version - yes, i mean nope Animal companions (dog, horse) - nope Steam community integration (Achievements, Steamworks modding, etc) - nope Construction (building shelters / walls / ...) - nope Along with the remaining updates this year you can expect a new price point for DayZ, a slight increase to 27.99 EUR/34.99 USD. - YES, LOL! This is part of a gradual price change as we progress with the development and reach the goals that we along with your help set for the project. We would like to avoid a sudden increase in price once we hit 1.0. Don`t be discouraged by this increase however, the current price of 23.99 EUR/29.99 USD will still be available during the Steam fall sale. If you want to jump into DayZ, now is a good time. We are all very excited to announce that the first half of 2016 will introduce our final version and release from early access, with our final price point of 39.99 EUR / 49.99 USD. - BIG NOPE See you in Chernarus! 2020 - Maybe Roadmap derailed Though i enjoy DayZ very much, but what can I say.. Get real?

So I was running around in chernarus starting of from the big castle in the north. I was trying to find my way to Nwaf like everybody else, but i was running in circles. I have managed to get a decent amount of loot with brown hunting pants, autum hunting jacket, hunting backpack with plenty of stuff, magnum etc. Also i had the cr with a huntingscope, though I only had 1 bullet in the magazine... So, I was running around looting and found the town of Novaya Petrovka, :/ close but not NWAF yet.. When looking into the town i thought to myself - Hmm, lets loot the entire town, there must me some of that lone bear in there.. - On the other hand, I always walk into someone when entering a northen town! Guess what? I did. (this is where the action took place http://www.izurvive.com/chernarusplussatmap/#c=74;-98;7) So after looting the buildings in the eastern industrial parts of the town I saw that zombies was all over the place, no much loot either, so i felt that this was a bad idea. I walked towards a pound in the end of the industrial area I spotted a player!! I held my distance, first trying to shout: - Friendly, are you friendly man? Realizing that my wife wanted my Qpad QH90 "because they are comfy", so I had a headset without mic.. With that aproach out of the question (I mean, if you were to walk into another player not talking to you, i guess you would have thought, "not friendly") So, trying to get around him to higher ground I managed to get Zombie agro on me. I thought to my self, im fucked... - The guy is infront of me to the right, alittle lower than me, the zombie is alittle to the left of me, higher ground. I pulled my magnum and killed the zombie with one shot. Now, the guy was alerted! I ran towards higher ground, 20 meters to some hay balls. Using alt to keep an eye for the guy who was close to me. He was running around by the pond and the trees. So, I was sitting, hiding croched, byt the hey wall. Looking desperatly around me towards the grassfeld and the pond covered by trees. The guy poped up running towards the industrial area, I pulled up my rifle with hunting scope, trying to get him in the crosshair. Suddenly, this other guy crossed my crosshair! Apperently they were friends (since not shooting each other) so i scoped out. Pulse raising! The new guy was running around, stressed, and suddenly he was running closer to me but towards the industrial area. (This entrie situation takes place in a 100m circle) The new guy closes in, closer and closer. I scope in on him, he runs rightwards in my scope, i follow him. And I take the shot! Booom! Drop down dead with one shot! My only shot! By now I've got maxpulse! Hiding by the hay, looking for the first guy. (Trying to not fall for the temptation to loot the guy i killed) I'm waitning 3 minutes, pulse goes down.. F-it! Lets loot him! Green M4! 29 bullet mag with red dot scope! OH YEAH! I ruined his pants? and head(hat) and gloves... Then I run away, into a steel barn. Waits there for a few minutes. I made it, I survived, atleast for now! OK I killed a guy, and got his M4. I'm ususally not that guy, I ususally Shout: - Friendly! And get killed on sight... Don't hate me. Cool story? I think so. All true aswell :)

Are you sure there wasnt any other car/truck nearby? Cars freeze when that happens.. I found 3 trucks close to each other, all 3 was frozen.... Gamebreaking? YES!
