- Better performance - Private servers (for now) - Mods You can customize your character model and clothing. However it is not finished yet. You will have to re-select your character in the main menu after death. If you don't, you get a random upon respawning.

Strange.... Currently it is the other way around. In the last few months the player count has only risen.

You got one-shotted. With instant deaths you don't hear the gun shots on some occasions. It feels strange when it happens, I had this experience as well. You just stare at the screen with a big what and how feeling.

I think it would be pretty cool if they add a Bigfoot that spawns very very rarely

Doing a tiny bit of research would reveal that there were two updates, with a third coming this month. Selling this game to a different studio is even dumber than changing the engines in the middle of development.

Yeah the AK and M4 used to spawn everywhere in the previous 0.63 versions on pc as well, while prior to 0.63 they used to be pretty rare (M4 especially). So I'm sure they reduced the spawn rates. I totally believe duping is a problem on Xbox with so many reports from players. However, with some posts I have trouble to decipher if the person is complaining because he is not finding those weapons because of duping or simply because it is just rare.

Is the lack of M4's and AK's an Xbox only problem? As the poster above me mentioned, the M4 used to be pretty rare in 0.62, as with almost all Western weapons. This should be the same in the current DayZ, especially when more weapons make their way into the game.

Couple of things that I want to comment on. First of all, where did they say helicopters are not coming 100% sure anymore? I'm pretty sure they are still coming as confirmed with the December 2018 dev streams. Secondly, a roadmap was promised and now it has been never mentioned again. Which is poor communication on itself. Moreover, a roadmap is an estimate, not a promise on when something should be released. Therefore I dont see a reason why the devs should stop releasing a roadmap, just because some people don't understand the idea behind a roadmap.

In May, according to the DayZ Twitter.

You can toy around in the offline mode with this community mod: https://github.com/Arkensor/DayZCommunityOfflineMode/releases

Correct, that mentality is in some ways the same as KOSing. Sometimes KOSing might be a tactical choice, but also I had my fair share of players that did anything to kill me while I had nothing. Nevertheless, it is on Bohemia to balance base building. And I know it can be tricky as everyone has a different idea on what is too difficult or too easy to raid.

Perhaps because somebody put a lot of time and effort into it? I know that they dismantle it to get extra nails, but it is a poor excuse to be such a griefer

Sounds like my own experience on base building. Had a great time building my base and in the first few weeks I only had the regular break ins by destroying one wall. However, after coming online after a few days of not playing, I just found my whole base to be dismantled. Only the foundations were still standing. I even went on a journey to find nails... Finding 5 boxes and used them all the rebuild a good portion of my wall. Couple of days later, even those rebuild walls were dismantled. Why somebody would take the time to just ruin somebody's base goes beyond me... Until they balance it, I have no interest in building a base any more.

Cars work pretty good in offline mode... It just becomes a bit sad to get a new car in the last patch while online they are almost unusable due to server performance issues.

Agree with especially the interior lightning. The darkness of the interior was pretty good during 1.01, please get this back. It is waaaay to bright inside houses now!

Prior to 1.0 the communication was fine, but not perfect. There were things in 2018 that got communicated poorly but overall with the bi-weekly SR and continues dialogue on Twitter, it was good. So now post 1.0 we still have a nice Twitter dialogue and Impulz has been pretty active on the forum as well from time to time. What I don't like now, is the rare and irregular SR. The game is just as much in development as in 2018, so I can't fathom why they almost stopped having them. At least do a monthly SR... The roadmap is taking too long as well. January is great, February is alright, but March is just too long... So to conclude, it was good but it got worse overall. I do appreciate the community managers being active on Twitter and this forum though

Well on PC bases do not de-spawn any more.... But to build a base is still pretty worthless. People just need one single badly damaged hatchet to come inside. They simply break down the lower wall and then crawl through the lower wall foundation. From then, if the they are big-time griefers, they can easily dismantle everything from the inside. They actually get something back from it as well, as when you dismantle something you get like half of the nails and wood back, which they then can use for their own base...

Yes, in my experience it has been fixed

Pretty disappointing that there is no Status Report in February and no sign of any roadmap. The roadmap should have been published in January at best, in February was passable. But come on! March?

In general I like the idea, but I would go for a more improvised rain catcher. Which, obviously, fills when it is raining. Nevertheless, I do like the idea of being able to receive water in a certain way in a base

Could you explain generally what the differences are between those four diseases (excluding kuru)? Because people generally notice only two diseases. Sick from drinking water (cholera right?) and the common flu from rain/being cold.

The lumber mill at the western border sometimes looks like a damn clothing shop

Yeah I have been trying to find them, but not much luck. This is one of these few base building items that could use an increase in spawn rate imo.

My experience with cholera so far is that during 1.0 it would disappear if I would stay healthy and didn't drink any pond water. With the first platform update this seemed to change as it never cured itself, even though I didn't touch any pond water. I also never noticed any downsides besides having to throw up randomly and losing energy and hydration when it happens. I didn't notice an increase in thirst and energy levels going down and never lost any blood or health because of the sickness. Maybe there is more to Cholera and that damage taken increases the longer you have the disease. However, I have my doubts. In my video you could see that the first hit from the infected barely scratched me as the health icon remained full. Then the second hit went directly past all the other health icon phases (yellow, red etc.), right to my death. My suspicion that it is a rare bug remains.
