thanks for the status report ! thoses map changes looks great ! can wait to discover again the west of the map ! I'm not sure i will like the new "in hands only" actions, but people crashing servers to dupe weapons is really annoying these days. there are a lot of topics left to discuss in the nexts SR, i would love to hear more about : - non lethal weapons, any update on that subject ? crafting possibilities ? - possible improvement of the inventory system ? do we have a finalised inventory ? will we see improvements before beta ? - will glasses and helmet be able to alter vision in 1st person view at some point, is it planned ? - advanced crafting (and potential use for the screw driver, nails, hammer ?), weapons modifications, possibly ruined items reparation, what do you have in mind ? - procedural coloring and objects than can be subjected to it (backpacks, vehicules, cloth, tools, scopes etc...) , new color spraycan maybe, do you have an update on this subject ? - barricading houses, crafting wooden planks, using nails and hammer etc... will we see improvements in this area before reaching beta ? - solutions for the infinite food sources such as berries and apple, do you plan to fix this issue ? what are the alternatives you have in mind ? some news on plums, mushrooms etc ? - bicycle and dirt bikes, parts needed, stability, speed, fall damage (and damage reduction with helmets) ? etc... - any updates on boats and helicopters ? - long term persistence and performance issues ? - will scopes get some love before reaching beta (more variety, adjustable zero on kashtan and built-in AUG scope ?) ? bye !

Not even from wolves, hypothermia (especially on exp 0.61 with bugged fireplaces and higher freezing timer) ? zombie instakill (happens on very old character with low bone stat) ? fall from roof/stairs ?

i played a lot on blue waffle latelly, nice actions but way WAY too many crashed/restarts ruining actions. i hope it will be improved in the next patches.

hello ! i have a very different experience in 0.61. i only play on high/full server (mainly oldschool dayz hardcore, bluewaffle, UKA) on private hives and so far i found a lot of weapons with mags and bullets. the gear you find is very depedent on the route you take to gear up. there are obvious loot patern in this patch (too obvious, they need to work on it). you can litterally predict what weapon you'll find in a house, i have a few ones that drop the same weapon variants 90% of the time. i'll give you two route that should reward you with AT THE VERY LEAST on weapon with a magazine : - spawn near elektro, loot the 4 isolated houses south west of elektro (makarov or P1 pistol with mags are very common here), then head west, loot the houses of prigorodky (mostly sporter with 30rnders and some juicy (but unloaded) R9). then loot all of balota for makarov or 1911 and sporters, the amount of weapons there is just insane. on a regular basis, i end up leaving balota with a scopped sporter with multiple 30rnds mags, a loaded IZH43 with 20+ spare 12gauge rounds and a silenced 1911 with mags and bullets. - spawn near svetlo, loot all the green guard shacks on your way to severograd, you shoul find at least one CR75 loaded or scorpion/RAK with mag. continue to loot green shacks in severograd and enjoy your nice MP5K with mags and attachement (happenened to me at least 5 times), continue on the 3 tents military base west of severograd and you'll have a high chance of looting an ak74 with mags, ak 74 mags alone or a m4/aug. most routes that avoid theses hotspots yield WAY less weapons with magazines, you'll be very lucky to find a weapon with magazine in berezino/gorka/novy-stary in my experience. have fun !

Hello ! crafted leather pants, jacket and vest are a little bit demanding but offer a greatest/unusual look and a HUGE sortage capacity ( 9 slots fort pants and jacket, more for the vest). the camo is decent once colored with nails, you don't standout too mutch in the wilderness. spring hunter outfits are quite good and offer one of the best all-round camo and decent storage capacity. i usually go for them until i find waterproof jacket. double green/camo badana and facemask are good headgear, giving you additional rags if your rags stored got ruined in a fight. i dislike the press vest, but if you don't want military gear, it's the best option before getting all the stuff needed to craft a leather vest. hunting backpacks are the best non military bags IMO (and arguably the best backpacks), but the crafted ones are decent and offer low profile. hunter weapons are great and as effective as most military weapons. blaze / red 9 and IZH 43 / longhorn are some of my favorite combo than i only drop for scoped FAL/M4 or SVD. SKS is one of the most polyvalent weapons in the game so far, go for it if you find enough ammo. the .357 magnum is a beast too, but quite hard to find in this patch. i personnally dislike "r" operated weapons since they are way harder to use in stressfull situation so i do not recommand repeater/mosin/MP133 if you can put your hands on one of the weapons mentionned before. good luck !

i'm pretty sure you died because of your bone condition (check wobo video), i saw the live stream, you got hit multiple times before by infecteds, bibix died the same way. i agree that it's somewhat a radom death but it's directly linked to the number of hits you took. i would prefer heavier blood loss from infecteds hits so the damages taken would be easier to quantify than the "invisible" bone stat. for the heatmap, i feel that players are more spread on 0.61 than on 0.60. the north road that was almost empty on 0.60 is now mutch more populated now with tisy being the hotspot for high end weapons. people running from cherno to myshkino in a few minutes on 0.60 was less interesting in my opinion. i feel that every map change is spreading players on the map a little bit more, it's still not perfect but going in the right direction, even if it's harder to get reliable PVP form streamers. keep on the streams, we have fun watching you guys !

experimental has been patched almost every working day for the past 3 weeks, those two big patches in 2016 are the result of dozen of patches in the experimental branch.

and don't underestimate shotguns, they are awsome in 0.61 !

got my alice backpack, had the choice between camo and green ! 40 slots, it's huge ! sadly i lost it to some random guy that didn't went down with 6 shots to the chest from my aug...

hostage grabbing from behind is a great idea, i like the idea of slaps and stomach punches too. i would add : - bursting a locked door open with shoulders/kicks and melee (crowbar/axe etc..). - little animation for fire mode selection - feeding a magazine - proper skinning animation

good idea ! i still feel it's a little bit too mutch to have to make a fire and a garden 5 minutes after your spawn, when you should be looking for a backpack, a few rags and a melee. it remind me the brutal experience that 0.55 experimental was after 1week with barely anything new respawning (or was it 0.54 exp ?).

i played a little bit more than 1 hour today, spawned near svetlo under some nasty rain. i was cold after looting the first two houses in svetlo, so i stopped a first time, got lucky enough to find matches and a knife. got rid of the cold status and looted houses/cars as fast as possible. when i reached the police station, i was freezing and starving, so i looted a few more houses and made another fire. no raincoats were found :( ... . i struggled so mutch with the rain that i had a hard time finding food, infected carried no loot either (1 can of soda and that's it on 10+ infected killed). i managed to get some apples to not die from starvation, just enought to run to the nearest town. i had to make another fire and get some more apples. rain all the fucking time !!! it was barelly possible to survive and not so fun since you have to stop every 2 minutes to make a fire, loot some apples, be cold again, dry up, starve, get some apples, get cold etc... . if you can't find a raincoat, this kind of situation is very bad and there is not mutch you can do about it, you are doomed to go ahead at a snail pace until someone axe you while you're drying up. i would love to see working heatpacks in that situation. infected were not a threat at all, they mere mostly unresponsive. i had 2 crashed in 1 hour, more than in the two last iterations and fireplaces were not visible in my hand nor in the chimney before being lighted up. loved the new models in the trello, can't wait to see them ingame, that backpack details are awsome !

i've read that they aim for around 100 players (i'm too lazy to look for the sources, but i'm quite confident with the 100), which seems to be perfect for the current map size and town/loot density (0.61 exp). 150 player might be a little bit too mutch, especially when bicycles and motorbike will be available, places like tisy and NWAF will be crowded all the time.

nice patch so far, no desynch or crash. food was very hard to find on the coast, but infecteds were full of soda cans and canned food, i managed to get energised and hydrated just by looting them. i found some fishing rods near a boat, first time i see them in the game. i could not find any hooks sadly (did not found any chicken either :( ). i met a firendly guy near the barns above dubky, he gave me some .45 ACP rounds for my 1911, it was good to have some friendly interaction between two armed players, it's been more rare these days than in exp in older versions.

i visited new tisy mil base this morning, i like it, it feels totally different than most other military bases because of it's "lost in the forest" situation. i ran into a dense pack of wolves near the industrial complexe between the tents and the shooting range, they can be trapped easily into thoses buildings, i didn't even shot a single round. i came back later after clearing the area to aggro some Z and throw them at the wolves, that was epic ! during my two tisy runs, i noticed that high end gear seems to be assignated to specific location in tisy, one tent reliably spawn double stanag mags, some never spawn anything, the yellowish barrack near the shooting range always spawn SVD mags. i've not seen any rifle in the area however, i don't know if it's just bad luck, tisy being still WIP or if it's like that on pupose
