How can you complain about the attention its getting? They've been putting out free updates for over 10 years. Its been quiet lately because theyve been working on sakhal. And how can you complain about the price when youve been playing since near the mod days? How many hours of entertainment have you gotten out of the one off payment for the game? I agree about the recent update though. Taking guns out of maps is utterly ridiculous. They should be adding content not taking away. Theyre cleaely trying to encourage map hopping to get certain guns but whos going to go through that effort? Spawn on chernarus to a random location, find a tundra for example, jump back to livonia to a random location, and get back to your original plans. Inventory nerfs i support but this recent update is ridiculous. Sakhal feels empty too but i hear they are still working on adding things.

Now that the dust has settled. How do you guys feel about Sakhal? Does it offer the quintessential dayz experience for you? Does it have that same magic and charm?

Hi devs just checking in to see how progress is coming on implementing this? Must be close to getting finalised? As we've discussed, a simple button to toggle hud on and off, i think even someone from care in the community could manage to do that in an afternoon

Why? Just deal with it. It makes traversing forests more anxiety inducing and exciting

I think theyre still catering to the obsolete old gen consoles. We really need an upgrade on view distance. Im sure current gen could handle it

I did read it but you suggest their health still drops, and a hardcore map like this, itll still be certain death as there wont be enough masks to be found. Coastal loot is sparse because people are having to spend so much time there, and also with the hit to the inventory capacity people wont want to have to carry a mask anyway. The biggest flaw is the visual aspect though. Dayz wont be able to have simulated volcanic eruptions

Couple queries from me, Ash falling from the sky is possible ofc, but what does the volcano visually look like during the eruption? Bare in mind i dont think they can simulate a volcanic eruption on their frankenstein engine. They cant simulate visual heli crashes so i dont think volcanic eruptions are on the cards. Sakhal by design makes players slow down their travel, every 5-10 minutes a fire is needed. So how would 45/50 people get the chance to find a gas mask and filters, within 15 minutes? Its basically certain death for the vast majority of players, and i dont think that makes for interesting gameplay because it cant be avoided in most cases, so would just become very tedious. Its an interesting idea. Dark skies and raining ash would make for atmospheric visuals, and ive thought personally how an eruption could work, but i dont think it's possible. Not unless they made the volcano eternally smoking, and made like a localised area around it that you need a mask to go inside the perimeter, and within the perimeter the skies are darker with ash. (This wouldnt make sense though because ash would realistically be covering the whole island) Incentives being good loot or some **mission**, and move the player spawns down south so you need a mask and better gear to move up into the northern regions.

So whats the deal with the constant server issues in all the sakhal servers im playing? Is this to do with the amount of fires people are making? If so thats a huge blunder; to design gameplay around making fires and yet the servers cant potentially handle it.

Thanks. Thats good atleast they are trying to sort it. Seems to be a problem with rendering, even at close distances.

Are the devs working on a fix to the low res snow textures? They appear square and grid-like, as if the textures havent loaded in. This also seems to affect dirt textures as well. This problem occurs at close range within 10 metres. So i assume this isnt the desired end result as this problem doesnt occur on chernarus and livonia. Thanks

Is anyone else seeing very poor snow textures on hills in Sakhal? Grid-like, low resolution snow patches on the ground. Playing on series X

I took a day off work tomorrow to play sakhal, if it doesnt get released till evening time ill be livid lol.

You imbecile. They are advertising the expansion to thousands of players. Why do you think popular youtube channels get early access to showcase a game before release, and not some random chump with no platform?

It must be very simple, in my uneducated opinion. But pc have toggle hud option so i don't see why we cant. Im on xbox so i dont know about this touch pad thing.

Hello just checking in on progress for the hud toggle for xbox/console. (Ill help you out: right stick will be perfect) I was surprised to see it wasnt included in the last update to 1.26. But im sure youve got it planned for the next update! Many thanks again for working on it, and making dayz a much more cinematic experience for us console plebs!
