What next?.....Q1 2020, Norway map from Vigor plus a reindeer?

....it works properly. ;-)

I concur, I think it shows there is a hardcore player base who love, but yet hate, this beautifully intricate and delicate game.

Not an ideal solution but it helps... https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1576417797

Months or years?

Stop acting like a child. (unless of course you are) Until tomorrow, you are still playing a game that is in Early Access.

Most of the detractive comments in this thread are quite frankly laughable, if current state of the game doesn't suit your needs or meet your expectations then simply move on and find something new to play. I only recently came back to the game at the beginning of November and was blown away with the work on the zombies and particularly the terrain itself. So for me, 1.0 is a good starting point, for anyone frequenting Discord lately, I see the beginnings of a very healthy number of modders who are happy to have a great framework to work off. Good times ahead.

Congrats on reaching 1.0 status and finally leaving EA.

I just released a mod that might help with that... Install the mod on your server, then set any date and time from May through to September for a full daylight cycle.

Sullen Skies is an overhaul of the Cloud and Overcast systems for Chernarus Plus Lowers base cloud, No cloudless skies, Darker, more turbulent clouds. This mod can be run client-side as long as the key is installed on the server. Signed key is also included. Steam Workshop

Really enjoyed last night's Developer stream, it's amazing what has been done with the new player controller system, looks very fluid. I'm excited for what's to come further down the road. Given everything that has happened during DayZ's long development cycle, it's heartening to see a team still full of dedication and optimism. Personally, I haven't played DayZ for over 2 years but I'm still an avid follower of the project, I will most definitely be returning when 0.63 hits stable....hell, I might even jump aboard experimental when it drops. Best of luck for the future.

They are intertwined my friend
