Some good points in here. I agree with almost all of them. Not a fan of point 4 and 5 though. If grenades explode while wearing them on the vest, nobody would wear them there anymore. And I like how police cars function as the heli crash site right now. What BI should do is make the MP5 only spawn on police cars, like it was back at 0.62. Makes the car wrecks more interesting.

Spaggie's server are good. I enjoy playing his Chernarus, Livonia and Namalsk regular servers. Basebuilding is vanilla, so expect people to break in pretty easily though.

Write down the code for your lock, otherwise you will have to start guessing it to get out or into your base when you forget it. For materials I think the following links would help you the most: https://wobo.tools/asmondians-dayz-infographics.php?ID=141&category=crafting#titleselect https://wobo.tools/asmondians-dayz-infographics.php?ID=159&category=charts#titleselect https://wobo.tools/asmondians-dayz-infographics.php?ID=160&category=charts#titleselect Out of curiosity, what server are you on? Always open for getting to know some more proper servers.

Kinda ridiculous, but oke. There literally just a few mods that actually do add things that BI ''promised''. Most mods just add more stuff, which obviously is not a bad thing. But this victim blaming and nonsense how modders do what developers can't just starts to become very old

Guess that is part of the excitement. Will I make it or not? Once I killed a guy with a shotty, but he had hit me hard from up close with a rifle. I heard infected screaming, so I went inside asap and bandaged my bleeding wound. Before I fell uncon I could still close the door so I would remain safe of the infected. Guess I was uncon for around 15 minutes. 20 minutes might be a bit too long though. I would already be happy if they would make it max 10 min. But when someone is massaging your heart, use an epi-pen or defibrillator it should never take 10 minutes. It should go much and much faster then. Right now resuscitation is pretty much useless as you are uncon for just 30 seconds. So I think that a prolonged uncon state is a win-win for the game.

I miss it that you could be uncon for like 10-20 minutes back in 0.62. Had some good memories from that time.

Fair enough. Guess this is a mindset thing or something, as for me personally I don't mind losing my character with a wipe. But yeah every 3-4 months is too much.

Well I get the frustration when building bases. It takes some good effort to build one and to just see it get removed after a couple of months feels wrong. But I honestly can't fathom why anyone would be bothered to lose a geared character. I mean, I sometimes even kill my character on purpose to get a fresh start as a good fun part of the game is looting and feeling that progression that you make with your character. And I know that the idea of the game is to survive as long as possible, but let's be honest. Unless you hide in a forest non-stop you will get killed eventually. So I really do not see this as a good argument on why not to have these wipes. I mean, so instead of a server wipe a player's character will be shot to death two days later. However, it is not that I agree with the choice of the devs. Personally I would just wipe it once a year, in January or February. Gives the players a nice fresh reset but also makes sure you can build something up during the year as well. 3-4 months is just too short when you build a nice sizeable base. Nonetheless, just like you I just do not get these ragequits...

With all due respect, I do not see the difference between having to start over due to a bullet through the head or because of a server wipe.

Nice roadmap with some interesting things to look out to this year. Not sure why some people expected more from this roadmap as this is exactly the same as last year. They could have touched upon the desync issues, cars and fan favourite the bow. But they already mentioned that desync and the cars unstability was going to be looked at this year in the 2020 year review. Pretty sure that they also already mentioned that the bow is coming back this year. Especially looking forward to the improvements on the infected. Hopefully this also includes better pathfinding as this is one of the more ugly parts of the infected as also ties in with the difficulties in combatting them. Making weapons more unique is something I look forward to as well. They are all too similar right now. I do hope that we see further additions such as notes, books and more crafting possibilities. Also further texture improvements are welcome to assets around the map. Lastly, I don't play on official servers, but I can imagine that people don't like a wipe that often. Perhaps do it once or twice a year max.

True, they fulfilled everything from the 2020 roadmap. Except the amount of patches of course, but that was due to COVID. I found the 2020 roadmap pretty bare-bones though, but I honestly miss that since now we did not got anything. I mean some vision for this year would be nice. Just gives an idea to where we a heading.

I think the fireplace bug only started to happen with 1.10 right? At least I experienced it three times during 1.10. Thankfully not so far with 1.11. Should be fixable if this bug only recently appeared. But yeah, sad to see that it is still not 100% fixed.

The servers got wiped with the 1.11 patch.

This is basically the reason why we have these issues with vehicles. A combination between a new engine, moving from client to server-side and BI cutting down the DayZ team by 2/3. Imo, they probably should have stayed with client side. Anyway, this is all in the past. Now we can just hope they fix/improve it

Ah fair enough! I usually play on the runningmanz or Karmakrew Livonia server. They are pretty good, so if you ever want to give it another try I would recommend those.

This. @THEGordonFreeman You act as if they could just casually include a fix for cars in a patch. If that would have been the case, it would have been fixed a long time ago. Lets hope they fix it rather sooner than later.

Why not play Livonia on community servers then?

Even though it is far from being realistic, I do think that nutrition is decently balanced. You need to eat insane amounts but there is also enough food to be found. Basically it is kill an animal, skin it, cook it's meat and then you can walk around for hours. If you do some casual looting on the side you can easily maintain the full nutrition icon. They could make it more realistic, but I think it would require a complete overhaul of the system and CLE

Ugh don't tell me that bug has returned... Happened to me on numerous occasions back in 2019 till it got fixed

Feel the same. Spawning fresh in and build up your character is one of the most fun parts of the game. When I am all geared I found myself to wander around aimlessly from time to time. But to each their own of course.

If you are unlucky you get a cold when you just spawn in. As most of the time your character is in light blue temperature.

Yes it is happening tomorrow. Do some pvp tonight and start fresh tomorrow

Totally forgot about that. Back then they mentioned it needed some further development. Was is not patch 1.6? I do have the feeling we see some improvements on the physics department this year.

Well it is almost certain we get the bow back, other weapons and car(s). However, what I wish is that they put some effort into adding the final bits of content that we still miss from 0.62 and before. We just miss a handful of weapons, animals and vehicles and some other content (notes, books etc.). it seems doable if they just put a bit more effort into this department. Just feels odd that we still miss the bow for example after more then two years of 0.63+. I mean, I enjoyed them giving cooking a big overhaul last year, adding the flagpole etc. but somewhere I just feel that they should now focus on getting the old stuff back in first. Especially weapons and animals. I simply cannot imagine that it will take that long to do if they just focus a bit on it. Looking at features, we only miss ragdolls as a major feature from the 0.62 era. However, I do not see it coming this year sadly. Nonetheless I do see them expanding on existing features this year. More crafting from animal hides and poisoning/infected wounds I think are first to come. Perhaps writing notes. Anyway lots of speculation. By the way, where is that roadmap? Perhaps on Tuesday with 1.11 release?

We had a big update back at the end of November with the holidays soon after. This update was always meant to be a bug fix/stability patch, so I don't see why you are so bothered by the lack of content. Sure, I was disappointed that we initially did not get a new gun (as every patch so far had one), but here we are and we got something to shoot with. Regarding the guns, I think most people do not care about the RPG and SAW at all. An LMG would be nice but this game needs better weapon progression. Meaning bow/xbow, PM73 RAK, MP-133 or perhaps the Bizon. Steyr AUG is nice, but we have quite some endgame weapons already. Anyhow, I am sure the devs are doing whatever they can by pleasing all kinds of peeps. It is not their fault that the team got cut by 3/4 halfway through 2019.
