    Status Report - January 2019

    No, I already expect that reality will different from my expectations. Like having a functioning core game by Christmas :P. While I am disappointed in how stable the current game is, I can't really complain about the rate of content patches we received. I still think that they come with decent rate. So far it was most of the time between 2 and 3 months, and each patch had various features and content. But we will see, I hope they can keep a steady pace in 2019.

    Status Report - January 2019

    Pretty nice Status Report! I was especially happy to see that the first platform update comes in February, as I personally was even expecting it more around March. Now I still have to see what this update brings, but it is already great that it includes two new weapons. However, I do hope to see vaulting/climbing and fishing in it as well, since these features were already in development before the feature freeze. Hopefully this patch will see the solution to the persistence problem as well and with a noticeable increase in server performance. It is a pity that the roadmap is not finished yet, so I do hope/expect to see it at least next month. Nevertheless, I do hope to see some steady content and features coming this year! It would for example be pretty disappointing if we had to wait all the way till spring for vaulting/climbing and fishing, as these were supposed to be in 1.0. In one of the streams you mentioned that the current goals still will take till 2020 to be completed. This worried me a bit, as when looking at the features and content from the roadmap released back in November 2017, I would expect to see all that or at least 90% of it in this year. Thinking about the possibility that even at the end of this year we still won't have two-wheeled vehicles or planes annoys me.

    Stable Update 1.0.150192

    Damm, yeah it is a huge issue. Dissapointed that it is not fixed yet.

    Stable Update 1.0.150192

    They fixed issues with that twice before the 1.0 release. But I take it from your comment that this is still an issue?

    Stable Update 1.0.150192

    With this stable update I noticed on two occasions that when relogging on a different server my character has a roll back. First time I spawned back on a road that I walked on 5 minutes ago and I lost the gear that I looted in a tavern. Second time I got killed, quit the game and then logged back in a few days later. Till my surprise my character was alive as he was in an area that I visited prior to my demise.

    Oh just one month? Welcome to game development. Feel free to show me a game developer that delivers fixes faster for a similar game.

    DayZ 1.0 Vehicle tips

    Where does it say that they take all of January off?
  8. Point 6 sounds excellent to pass the very dark nights of DayZ. Too many times the atmosphere became pretty romantic during those rainy nights in a small house near Dolina... with the fireplace turned on to keep each other warm......

    Please Bohemia can we get character locked servers?

    While I can see the potential in hives, I do agree that locked servers offer a fairer game and the pluses that come from it easily outweigh the negatives.
  11. I think that the additional loot we spawn with was for the free weekend and holiday week. At least I expect it to be gone in January, but who knows.

    What is that uniqueness in your opinion, if I may ask? Of course, the different aspects of DayZ on its own are no match against other games, as you stated. There are enough PVP games that are better, as well as games that offer a better survival experience. But if you take all these things into one game and then compare that full game to other similar games, then there is no other that really surpasses it. Anyhow, the devs have a ton of work to do and I do really wish them the best with it. I personally hoped to have a better working 1.0 right now and i'm disappointed that this is not the case, especially during these holidays.

    Well to be fair, there is not really any game similar to DayZ that is significantly better.

    Base building waste of time

    Get rid of each and every server crash is pretty difficult. Adding new features can re-introduce new server crashes as well. They said that they are looking for a long term solution, which sounds to me more than just fixing each crash that there is. But then again, there are plenty other base building online games that do not have their bases wiped. So it should not be like re-inventing the wheel.

    I'm actually looking forward to 2019 and all the stuff that will be introduced to the game, as well as all the improvements to the current game (which it really needs). Looking back on 2018 I can say I am both disappointed and satisfied. The communication was not always spot on, calling the current version 1.0 was ahum... a pretty dumb decision and the overall stability of the current version is disappointing. I mean, I hoped to play a stable build during these holidays but so far I got killed by a flying car, the infected do not work and driving is impossible because of the poor server performance. And don't get me started on the persistence issues. But, I do acknowledge that they made some big steps this year with the introduction of the new engine and all that came with it. And I think that they came pretty fast with new content and features throughout the second part of the year. I have a hard time understanding when some are actually afraid that BI will just drop this game in 2019, because I am pretty confident that 2019 will be an amazing year for DayZ. We can easily expect to get more vehicles, guns, working persistence, good server performance, more advanced health system, fishing, climbing, helicopters and better visual additions to the game. Plus all those mods and Namalsk. I'm pumped for 2019!

    The Village

    I usually play on the Village but I got to ask, is there currently a Village up and running?

    Testing Persistence

    It is pretty worry-some that tents become destroyed by a few bullets. Imagine the griefing done by other players! It is pretty easy to hit the tent from a higher angle as the walls are not that super high, so people can just shoot a few bullets and poof! Gone is your tent with all the loot in the next hour. I would actually say, make tents invincible against bullets/melee weapons.

    Stable Update 1.0.149974

    Do sewing kits even work to stitch wounds? Used two rags and used the sewing kit 5/6 times to no avail. My health was at maximum so I could not been hit that many times by bullets.

    You need to hit the brain. Just hitting the head does not cut it.

    PC 1.0 Release Date Announcement

    Read it as well. The guy is completely clueless about the development. Stating that is similar to 6 years ago.

    DayZ won't be dead any time soon.

    Anyone figured out when the game takes place?

    In the timeline the outbreak happened somewhere after the events of Arma 2. The events (rebellion uprising in Chernarus) of Arma 2 happened around 2008-2009, which saw the arrival of first the US troops and after that of the Russian Federation. Presumably the reason why we find American & Russian military wrecks and weapons. As Marc said, the FX-45 was released in 2012 so generally people assume it happened after that date. The idea of the poster was a good one though. Some people might remember a mission called Eagle Wing in Arma 2, in which you play as a heli pilot that crashes during a nuclear/chemical attack. This is an alternate ending to the Arma 2 campaign, which I always saw as the alternate ending that created the ARMA/DAYZ timeline.

    Stable Update 1.0.149923

    I first turned it off and then I put it away to get my weapon. With that being said, it is odd why my friend saw a working flashlight on the floor next to my body. The guy that shot me didn't use a flashlight so far I noticed. Can't say 100%, but I am pretty confident he shot me with a pistol, so no probably no night vision. It either is a bug with the flashlight, or he found a way to boost up the gamma.

    Stable Update 1.0.149923

    Found a pretty game breaking bug during night gameplay. I was walking around with a flaslight through Cherno, got shot, ran away and turned off flashlight, guy for some odd reason could hit me with ease. I ran even further away and went prone. I could see nothing and next I got shot with three well placed shots. My friend walked to my last known position and saw me on the ground with a WORKING flashlight on the ground. So either the guy used some sort of gamma hack or my flashlight was bugged in the sense that it was off on my screen but on, on his screen.
