Just curious, whatever happened to the V3S, how is it not back in by now? It was a super basic vehicle for most of DayZ's life.

Looks like trash. Thanks, won't touch it.

I dont care. Fuck scum and don't bring it up to me that's not the point of this thread.

No SCUM is arcadey and sucks.

I've been playing dayZ official vanilla servers since release in dec 2013. I've never had as much problems on the official vanilla servers with hackers as I have the past couple months. It has completely killed my interest in this game. Normally I would play on "low pop" servers to avoid having to deal with a lot of players, and because I know high pop vanilla servers have always had a problem with hackers. I had already taken a couple month break from the game, because I had a very well hidden spot for buried items in the far north and it was almost impossible to see, it went untouched for many months. After the game went on sale in china we had lost our buried stash within a month. You can check the server lists and see all of the people with Chinese symbols or all numbers for steam profile names. These accounts have rarely been set up, and often have multiple VAC bans. Tonight I had a friend get the game who had not played dayZ since the mod. We were running together in the far north and my character started taking what seemed to be like bullet shots from an unknown location. There were no cracking noises from bullets, no players nearby that we had seen, and it killed me very quickly, but I was hit more than once... I could hear audio noise of my character getting hit by something (the "UGH") and my clothing was getting damaged. My friend said he saw my character "spazzing out and making noises", and I fell over dead. A few seconds later my friend fell over dead himself, having heard nothing, he had previously found an LAR at a crash site, and was excited to be playing the game. My friend went on to say that he was really glad he didnt talk his brother into buying the game. I have never had a more disappointing experience in this game. And after 1,700 hours in this game I think I'm finally done. Someone call me when BattleEye actually does its job.

What's the point in having unmodded community servers? Why does it feel like official is slowly dying? Ive played on DayZ WA 2-0 and 2-8 for years now....

You should uninstall now. They said bow is the hardest weapon to implement.

I know many people who could have used a tutorial starting this game.

With the statement on the status report saying "we have a hard time explaining the medical system as it is"... Is because there is no explanation. Is it so hard to make a survival tutorial? DayZs medical system is not horribly complicated. Rust, Ark, The long dark, Project zomboid all have pretty similar complications (sometimes more). What stands out about dayZ is there is absolutely no tutorial. This would go a very long way in explaining the game mechanics. Does this not seem like basic video game industry logic? Make a tutorial to explain the game? It almost feels like a cop out to avoid implementing an advanced medical system.... It wouldnt be hard to have a survival tutorial that shows you how to make a fire, reload a gun, bandage and take care of yourself when sick... Etc.

I'm just wondering if a food rework is in the pipeline at some point? Like, why does dry rice refill both water and hunger? Will food ever decay? Poison/bad food (especially mushrooms)?

Thanks for the update! Keep up the good work!

I just wanted to say that this patch seems to be having a negative effect on server performance on public hive servers. I play on DayZ WA 2-8 and the server was performing so badly our car flipped almost killing us all. It had been laggy for multiple people I was playing with.

Bow is the single hardest weapon for them to implement. And it's not coming anytime soon.

Medical items are getting a bit of a change. I'm also sad no broken bones are in but I would rather them take their time and have it well done than say, go back to the way it was, buggy and walking over random rocks or stairs break your legs. I'm also waiting for rotting food, and poison food. Like deadly mushrooms.

Yup. I'm totally fine with this. Content is coming along nicely. This community can be very very toxic when promises are not kept.
