This doesn't stop me from reading stuff I'm interested in, even if my only gaming plattform for DayZ is PC. They stated that release will be for all plattforms at once so this information was important. Also i just fired up DayZ, Chernarus and Liviona worked just fine and our servers are running flawlessly for now. I don't have any text in the main menu though for whatever reason, but thanks to DZSA and the ability to join directly on a server, this isn't a main issue for me. Not defending btw, just stating facts and countering unnessessary bitching. Also, as I already said, we are more or less on the same side concering communication, it's been worse for the last few month though.

As far as I can remember there never was a notification beforehand for updates, just some vague aims for releases. You could count on wednesday as patchday for some time, but even that changed. Looking at your "joined date" I don't have to remember you about those classic surprise friday stable fuckup releases, do I? Also you don't have to be a rune-reader or whatever. The date was posted on console stores, not that you should trust that stuff 100%, but there was no objection from BIS this time.

For a week, but especially since yesterday the signs were pretty clear for a release today for anyone keeping up on the forum, social media and steam I think. Communication wise they are on a right track again with at least one guy providing insight, but still much room to improve.

It's sort of industrial standard that bundles are a bit less expensive then buying one by one.

Someone forgot to set the video on private when uploading as far as I can see it. Whats your explanation? Illuminati? I've done my fair share of errors at work over the years...

Eh, not the first time someone hit a release button by accident. Keep an eye on this forum, steam and twitter. You will notice when its released.

If you are talking about a Battleye Global ban I suggest taking your appeal to Battleye directly since the dev team can't help you with that. With prove like you posted your chances might be good.

It's been on sale until 1st of November. Sorry, you're just a bit too late.

Umm yeah okay, so it's an undeclared changelog that was released with the start of the Levonia Beta, also containing changes to chernarus and gameplay as a whole, that may or may not change until it hits the next stage of development. Fine for you? And btw, I was following that thread, even the cash grab blah blah on page 3, the only important thing that was stated is that the changes of that changelog are not yet implemented on chernarus, like bears and stuff, hence its not posted in the experimental part of this forum.

Jeez and I thought I am nickpicky sometimes, but you are way over the top. You really think there are going to be major changes to that changelog until it hits exp again or stable?

The post i linked to is declared as "Patchnotes 1.06" with a lot of patchnotes inside the spoiler tag. You are saying this isn't about 1.06? Edit: To clarify, OP asked about patchnotes, this patch was released on the exp branche with the open beta of levonia. I would pretty much call that experimental 1.06.

You can find the patchnotes for exp. 1.06 here: There is no release date for stable yet.

You are right, DayZ and the original DayZ Mod never had airdrops or NPCs, those came with mods of the DayZ Mod and nowadays mods for the Standalone. Many people are still misled by this.

I got a name, you know. With behaviour like that I really can't see how anything good should come out of an exp build on consoles and you keep proving my point again and again.

Yes they are, and I wouldn't dare stating otherwise. They are pissed because there are a lot of bugs in the current stable version for consoles. So, please explain to the elitist, how exactly would it help to give them an even more broken build, which, as stated above, most likely can't be updated as quick as on PC?

No they didn't. The XBox livestream and twitter dudes did and after BIS pointed out that its not correct, they ruddered back. There is no release date and no price yet.

When looking at a lot of posts here and on twitter from console players, I don't think most of them could handle an experimental build tbh. Those things are usually very rough around the edges and not something to play with, but rather test. Also releasing patches for consoles requires some sort of verification process from M$ & Sony as far as I understand, so it would be pretty hard for BIS to keep the exp patches flowing, resulting in more frustration of the very impatient playerbase.

Also, this thread is about the open beta of Livonia, which is free. I am well aware that DLC comes with a price because devs can't buy food with toxic troll comments like yours.

Old mainly in relation to the EA process of DayZ...but eh, I'm past 33 so I guess we can count ourselfes as old when looking at the average players 😉 Played OFP to death back in the days and Montignac still gives me nightmares! I also remember some kickass mods like the Winter Campagne or total conversions like FinMod, quality stuff. Well umm...got a bit off topic. Sorry about that.

No problem, the history of DayZ PC servers is the reason why we, the old ones, know exactly what you are going through at the moment. Not being able to properly administer your own server is a bad feeling, even worse is the fact that you can't even choose your hoster, cause there is only one, which isn't really known for great support afaik. Maybe the only good thing in your current situation is the even playing field. When every server is basicly the same, except for the slot number, the actions of the administrators will speak for the quality of the server, not the loot count. Bad admins and their servers will go down while the good ones will prevail.

Before 1.0 and the release of server files we (PC users) could rent a public server, much like what you (console dudes) now have with not that many options to change, or a "private shard". It was part of the main hive, but with an own database. We could also rent a 2nd or 3rd server as "slave" with a shared database between those servers. We had the "choice" between a few hosters, for example GamingDeluxe or Fragnet. Latter was the worst experience of my life and I seriously hope that some ppl of the "support" team will burn in hell...but thats another story. Prices for 60 slots were between 120-150 euro of a private shard master server. For more information what you could and couldn't do take a look here: Now with the server files available you can rent a root server and do pretty much whatever you want, as long as your hardware is beefy enough and you know what you are doing. With modding support the possibilities are endless, but also the chances to screw up big time.

From all the examples you could have choosen from, you really took the worst of all.

Speaking of books, why were all books removed at some point again? Haven't heared anything about that for quite some time now. Anyway, instead of a medical book, I'm thinking about some sort of test kit like the blood test kit. It could change color depending on what you have with a little legend on the pack, or change the sickness symbol to a more specified one. You are still left in the dark about the right treatment though, but not everyone got a degree in medicine. Alternatively you could bring on a poster in a hospital with more information about the right cure, like @ThePugman 's idea with the blood compatibility.

@Greensek Link to the XBox One serverlist in the first post is broken, could you please fix that? Edit: Thanks ❤️

There is no experimental patch to test right now, why should they be online?
