Hi, you will find more info in the 'DayZ in 2024' article (like this one last year), scheduled to be published around February when the plans for the year are more finalized. Please note that a few changes may still occur. There's been a lot of work behind the updates in 2023, more than in 2022, to be honest. All I can say now is that there's much to look forward to in 2024. 🙂 Regarding character wipes, it's a challenging topic; some prefer wipes, while others would rather avoid them unless absolutely necessary. Wiping characters doesn't solve duping issues. Addressing the duping methods is what helps, and that's something we continue working on with every update.

Please poke me If I forgot to react on something and I will get back to you asap. 🙂

YES! Scheduled for 1.24! 💪🤞 Hi, thank you for the constructive feedback. We are very well aware of this issue. I can't go into details, but the team is looking into few more ways how this could be improved. I hope there will be more to share next year. Hi, those are scheduled for a fix. Would you please have a Jira ticket so I can look it up?

Dear Survivors, We are currently experiencing some connection issues in the US region. This might be affecting our LA servers and also few NY servers. We are aware of the situation and working on a fix. Thank you for your patience. Please, find the list of affected servers here: PC: Playstation: Xbox:

Hi, can you please sum up what you don't like about it?

They last for weeks but mostly months. Also, we always notify prior to shutdown of any temporary servers so people have time to move.

Thank you all! You are truly amazing! ❤️ I hope to see us break that 70k in the future. 💪

Confirmed, known issue, fix is planned in the future.

Hi, because I already answered you in a different thread and this is not really related to 1.23 update. So what exactly is your question? If it's possible to one-hit kill with these? Hi, we would need more info - what are ayou trying to change? It is possible you might be doing something incorrectly, e.g. not running the mission that has the .json file.

Hi, I will ask someone to check. Thank you

OK 😊

This is true, we will update the minimum criteria, thank you. Which baseball bat are you referring to? There are 2 crafted bats.

PC servers will be taken down at 13:00 CET Followed by console ones at 14:00 CET Each will take approx. 1 hour.

Dear Survivors, October, with all its autumn glory, has been a month worth falling for. We unveiled highly-anticipated update 1.23 on the experimental branch, and, in keeping with tradition, introduced our beloved annual Halloween event on the stable branch. It's been a busy month for us, filled with addressing your valuable bug reports, making the experimental branch accessible through special missions, and preparing and polishing the update for its forthcoming release. We’d like to extend our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to those who dedicated their time to play and test the experimental version. You are the true MVPs and our gratitude knows no bounds. Now let's just jump right into this month's spotlight and explore the content we loved in October. Read the full article here.

Fixed - once again I am sorry I forgot about you 💘

As @supernick mentioned earlier. I am sorry guys I did not mention it on the forum, last wipe I started doing it, but I was sick last 2 weeks and I honestly forgot. I will make sure it's mentioned here next time as well.

Hi, yes. "After a thorough assessment, we have opted to proceed with map wipes to accommodate 1.23 update's map changes. Your character progress and position on maps are safe. While not mandatory for Community servers, it's recommended. Thank you."
