I'm liking the new patch. I like the new difficulty of the zombies. They are now much more of a threat (as they should be). Liking how rare loot is, items you find now feel like they are worth something, and not everyone is running around with military grade loot. I also like that infection will now kill you. Generally a good patch... but :- The knockdown rate off a zombie is a tad too high in my opinion. AB need to be slightly more common than they are, but not so common as getting infected is sorted out within 5 minutes. I appreciate that finding the balance is not easy. But most people seem to agree that although the increased infection rate is good...spending your entire game time looking for AB is a bit much. To be honest, we have all waited a very long time for this patch. So I am very disappointed to see that Zombies hitting you from 10ft away is still present. Zombies walking through walls is still present. And Zombies hitting you through walls is still very much an issue. Myself and I imagine most of the community would like to see this fixed properly, as opposed to time being spent adding new items like "a wet pack of playing cards". Really? If your changelog says these things are fixed, how come the majority of people are discovering that they are not...within 15 minutes of play? I'm not having a go, but from what I have read on these forums, this patch was finished and awaiting Rockets approval for a very long time. So it kind of begs the question as to who was testing these things? And why weren't they discovered and fixed before release? As I say, I generally like the patch, but it is very disappointing to see the zombies still effectively broken a year later in regards to pathing and glitching through walls. This above everything else needs to be fixed. But this is just my own opinion.

Awesome, can't wait to play it. Well done for all the hard work Dev. Team!

LOL, i'm more of a "sharks with frikkin laser beams attached to their heads" sort of guy. Just like the SA, i'm prepared to also wait for the next dev blog. I'm sure it'll all be good.

Says the guy with a massively over inflated opinion of himself. Your just a guy that makes videos on youtube, seriously...who gives a shit. And as already mentioned by someone else...you criticise WarZ for being full of bugs because it's rushed out. And now you criticise DayZ because they are taking their time? Laughable. And do us all a favour, get rid of your attention seeking purple font. It just makes you look like a tool.

Another great dev diary. Keep up the good work Rocket & DayZ team. I can not wait for this game!

Great video.

Excellent news indeed, and about bloody time too. Here's hoping that Ivan & Martin are back with their families soon.

You'd think that these people would check to see if they have the right person first eh, before threatening their life. You've got to laugh at moronic people throwing death threats out over a computer game, especially when they can't even vent their venom\hate\idiocy at the right person.

Thanks for the update/info/news Rocket. As already mentioned, most people here are more then willing to wait for the game to be released...when you feel it is in the state you are happy with obviously. I personally would rather have the game in a better state at release, as opposed to rushing it out and it's blatantly not ready. Hope you had a good Christmas and New Year, and have had time to "recharge your batteries" by seeing family & friends. 2013 is going to be a good year, i can feel it.

Nameplates suck, and make the game far too easy. And people should have the choice between both types of hives. Forcing people to use private hives and nameplates is just (rightly so) going to annoy people.

Good riddance to them all i say. I hope we see and end to the WarZ fans posting in here too. Do they even know they have their own forum? Although from what i've seen, i don't think WarZ is gonna win too many fans. I'm not getting into the whole x game is better than y game malarkey. But it looks for too arcadey for my liking. Certainly nothing new over left for dead, except a bigger play area and a few extra bits n bobs. And what's all this i hear about being able to use real money to buy food and water...if your desperate?? Is this true? Zombie survival game...but you can pay to survive. Just LOL. Defeats the whole meaning of the word "survival".

Go to youtube and search for escaping debug plains in dayz or debug plains in dayz somethin like that. Edir -

He could have spent all day getting 15-20 tents and pitching them. Very possible he is duping them, but innocent until proven guilty and all that mate.

hahaha wise words indeed!

Agree entirely. Underhanded and dirty tactics.

This has been suggested lots already. Not to shoot down your idea or anything. But you could have used the search button in the top right of the forums. There are lots of threads regarding the zombies in terms of behaviour, looks and numbers. :thumbsup:

Try DayZ commander, i think it's much better. http://www.dayzcommander.com/ Edit - ninja'd by Steak and Potatoes

Believe me, our prime minister is very different from your president in terms of roles and power. For example ... A prime minister is not the head of state, whereas a president is. But you are correct, they are indeed spelled differently. Well done for noticing that. :thumbsup:

Way to over react to someone's opinion of something you said. I live in the UK. We don't have a president here! :D

You can't tell him to play the game how he want's...then proceed to tell him to play ArmA2 if he wants a war sim. Whilst i also don't particularly enjoy being sniped by a .50 cal...PvP is an essential part of the game. These are even Rockets own words. It's his game, and he paid for ArmA2 to play the mod. So let him play the mod how he wants to...it is his right surely? Not having a go at anyone here, just giving an opinion.

I would say stuff like this being fixed is very low priority for the MOD. Especially with the standalone coming out in December (hopefully). Ask yourself...what would you prefer they concentrate on? Low priority bugs in the MOD or making the standalone release as good as it can be (for an alpha release that is).

Whilst it is unrealistic for the footsteps to be so loud. I would wager they are so loud on purpose. To give you a chance to hear others around you. Sometimes "realism" has to take second seat, as a game/mod must be playable and balanced.
