Well you should not be hungry again in 20 minutes after eating few steaks and a can of beans.

Sarcasm aside, I would argue that only real improvement is smoothness of actions. Otherwise we are facing the same if not worse issues as in 0.62. Last two patches are a huge dissapointment for me. Lack of communication from the devs is just cherry on top.

You didn't read the blog properly mate, DayZ is better than ever as it was greatly improved in 2019 😉 It just may be a dev branch they forgot to release or something.

You did not hear the shot because it was meant for you.

As discussed elsewhere, they are dynamic events and change location regularly. Read more on the DayZ wiki 🙂 https://dayz.gamepedia.com/Helicopter_Crash_Sites

Yeah I meant it as no cannibal effect happened 🙂 I thought to use it for roleplay, laughter, bloody hands, asking have you seen my mommy or something like that. Ideally on a foggy day 😄

Of course I got sick and died of it eventually. But I also don't know how long do the cannibal effects take to manifest, so I'm asking. Because I thought it would show within a few minutes.

How long does it normally take for these effects to manifest if you eat the whole guy? Or at least some of their meat … on the EXP branch I've done that because I wanted to finally try that and nothing really happened. Also, I ate the poor guy raw, if it makes any difference.

Oh you rebel, you … ! I thought that since you're not posting exactly new ideas you could join the pile and make it bigger, yet I see I was wrong and you're instead living the dream 😄

Maybe you can post this to the 1.06 thread and not waste everyone's time by creating a new topic? Just a thought …

And DayZ indeed makes a lot of compromises for the sake of playability. Practically everything that is not shooting and character movement is a huge downscale from reality. Wish to grow some veggies? It takes you minutes. Need to carry stuff? Sure pack three large cans in your shirt. Killed an animal? Here are your steaks perfectly cut in 10 seconds, and so on and so forth. Yet people come here regularly and cry that the game is too difficult, too demanding! It needs to be more action, more shooting! Oh please, the game is intended as a simulator and just because it gives you guns it does not mean that all you should do is have a deathmatch. The other edge of this sword is annual crying that the newest CoD or Battlefield is not realistic and historically accurate 🙄 Don't go see a Scorsese movie expecting Bay and vice versa.

No. Go play another game, there's plenty.

I was wondering the same back on EXP Livonia, there were no fruits or even mushrooms at all, even though there seemed to be plenty fruit trees.

Well, why don't you stop replying to these comments and move on? It's way smarter plus you don't care.

That is exactly what can be done and should be done. We should have bug fixes on EXP every two weeks. That is called iterative development and should be a standard for game so troubled with bugs as this one. That would of course mean that EXP branch would really become the main branch because no one is interested in playing the bugged version but whatever. And no, no one cares that consoles cannot do this. That is not even the devs' problem. Devs or rather management made a wrong decision pushing DayZ on consoles but that cannot hinder fixing the game.

If by friendly you mean whether you can manage on your own, absolutely yes. However; do not rely on other people to help you in case of need. Just like the real SHTF situations, if you want to team up with someone they better be your friends IRL. Other people can help, chat, shoot without warning ... Also, there is a very steep learning curve and a lot of self study for months to come. You better go into this expecting a simulation not arcade shooter, otherwise you will not be happy at all. There is no tutorial level, no in game hints, no HUD with mini map and such. And maybe do a bit of research, lookup gameplay and reviews. There are bugs. Repetitive, frustrating bugs for even the most basic actions in the game.

Maybe … like around the time helicopters are in the game. Right now infected are so glitched that we're happy they do not walk through walls (at least not as commonly as they used to). In conjunction you should be able to properly barricade the doors and jump through windows.

So, there's not enough servers because people aren't buying it? ;)

Sooooo ... the maps are practically stiched together ey? Told you it rather could have been another region of Chernarus 😛 that would at least make sense why you keep your char.

Yelling one line and shooting right after is not interaction 😄 you KoS people just as much. And when by accident you don't KoS them, you have no control over the situation and don't know what else to do if people do not cooperate. You completely disregard the other person and environment and just shoot because all you can do is shoot. Whether people obey you or not is up to you, that is exactly the point. You don't know how to handle them. But of course, it was the other guy's fault. Yes sure, whatever helps you sleep better.

Did you try to hold up an infected? 😄 Anyway two out of four "hold-ups" are KoS and in one you kill the guy a bit later but still you kill him. Great job from a guy who says no to KoS. It's really sweet how you always blame the other guy. So basically, people cannot shoot you, that is KoS, but if you say hands up and open fire or boss someone around and then shoot, it's the other guy's fault. It's not a problem that you want to hold up people, but you have no idea how to handle it. The fact that 3/4 of your hold ups end with shooting should be a hint. Please don't tell other people not to KoS, because you do it all the time, even worse you give people hope that they might survive the hold-up but then cannot manage it and end up shooting them.

I think they cheated a bit, because console store showed the exact date, not just End of 2019 like Steam 🙂

Yeah mate, it is 100% today, it's just out. Day has 24 hours you know ... 😉

All hope is lost. We will never leave our solar system now ...

In the console section people wrote 3rd of December which is tomorrow. On PC Steam says End of 2019.
