Persistence. For the love of all things wretched, persistence.

I'm jealous of all the people who didn't play all those other versions. There must be so much of interest. Those of us who crept their way here, need something with more substance.

Bases can be randomly wiped. Persistence has not been functioning properly for quite some time. Welcome back, element.

I blame Mr Burns.

Wake me when persistence is fixed. I'll take mine with extra butter, please.

I had originally planned to go to Bohemian Hall beer garden (oldest in NYC) and celebrate with Czech food for the release of 1.0. After all this time, considering the road myself and the most dedicated players have gone down to try to support DayZ SA, I hardly feel cause to celebrate the issuance of an arbitrary number like 1.0. 1.0 should be when I tell my brother and former roommate to install/reinstall the game and join myself and my friends to learn and enjoy DayZ. Instead it marks a day when my long time friends are disheartened (and not playing), and the state of the game is no where near how it should be if I were to recommend it to ANYONE. Good luck with future fixes and implementations. I'll keep watching as long as you keep working. Enjoy your holiday break.

They said that if they cannot get the new one to work in time they will roll back to the old one.

Your priorities are not equal to their priorities. Simple math.

I absolutely LOVE the crying about wipes. *holds out giant bucket just for X-boner tears* If you NEED persistence to enjoy the game, you NEED to step away until it's fixed and not just bitch and moan like you didn't know the wipes were coming. You did know the wipes were coming right, right? There's going to be lots more wipes too. I bet even after persistence is fixed, they will need to wipe to implement other fixes in the future. Can you handle that?

-sympathy Absolutely clueless. You have no idea how many wipes there have been in DayZ history because you live in a bubble, right? A bubble where only now ever existed. Not like there is 5 years of wipes for nearly every important update? The amount of time you put in? Absolutely paltry in the grand scheme. Remember camp No Lag? Nah, of course you don't. lol0olololol0ol Guess who the scroob really is....?

Since the forum has been inundated by X-Boners, Johnny come latelys, and fair weather fans, the constructive discourse and generally entertaining content of months gone by has been completely drowned out by short sighted people who contributed next to nothing over the past 6 years. Now lump in the disconcerting news regarding 1.0 and lack of features working properly or being polished and you'll find my group of friends has disbanded for the most part. I see them popping on here and there but the days of 8+ hours of romping around the map are gone again. Hopefully to return when the game is fixed and truly feature complete. I keep checking in too but it's like wading through a cesspool hoping you find a diamond ring someone flushed.

I'm far too salty to care what all the fair weather players think. This is nothing. Par for the course. I'm totally eating popcorn here, and it tastes just like it did for years now. Bring on 1.1....

"yuck face" is now a technical term, lol. This forum has degenerated significantly. Maybe a busticated 1.0 will be a good thing. Then the non-hackers will wash out sooner rather than later.

I have read 2 recent news articles where someone healthy died from a single punch.... Just saying.

.....I've been playing less and less lately. Lack of persistence seems to have driven many of my friends away for the time being as well. I've got tons of other games to play while I wait and I'll be back when the fixes I want are announced. I just hope Enfusion isn't so deeply flawed that the game can't be completed as envisioned. However long it takes, most of the people in this thread will likely play over the next few years at least. Even if this is a short term cash grab strategy timing wise, that nerfs a possible wave of new players interest, we'll still get most of what we came here for. Bohemia has essentially made their bed, and soon they'll have to lie in it.

RIP

The people who fix persistence are not the same people that change the UI or add something like heat shimmer. I don't think there is a whole lot of point to stopping all other changes and additions to the game until the one (albeit game breaking) bug is fixed. Yes, additions and changes may breed more/new bugs but I think progression where possible is important. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I personally suspect Enfusion engine has some serious problems. Critical flaws that make bugs more prevalent, harder to squash, and easier to create. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And again, we are seeing double/triple work with the UI. Going back over previous work in almost every aspect of DayZ has doubled and tripled dev time(IMO). I don't mind that things progress independently but somehow I feel things like UI design and implementation should have been fully conceptualized a long long time ago. You know, like climbing, and throwing? -_- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I also get the feeling that much of the data from the legacy engine was not readily applicable to the Enfusion version of DayZ. Vehicles, body temps, wetness, horticulture, persistence even.... all things that myself and similarly dedicated testers put a lot of time into on the legacy engine. Was it mostly a pacifier? I see so little gained from all of that since switching engines. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I dunno, ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ Give SA

You can rebind in the xml file as I had done previous to the key binding implementation. Just use notepad plus and you should be able to do it. I was able to use the new menu personally, so I sympathize, one lefty to another.

This is more or less what I keep telling myself. I can look to the current player numbers of ARMA3 and hope that's the direction DayZ is headed.

I thought the previous icons with some added coloring would have been in the right direction.... So strange.... so little time....

You're welcome. Wednesday would be the best bet, but they may have a patch sooner.

I've never seen one on a Saturday, sorry.

In the mod, global was constantly used by the snipers and human hunters to track and kill less savvy players. People would pop in, "Hey everybody! I'm down by Elektro fire station if anyone wants to team up!". 5 minutes later, same guy, "Hey! I just got sniped!". People also spammed and shit talked constantly with stupid shit which really ruined the vibe of the game. I'm not interested in a "sense of other people playing". I'm more interested in feeling alone until surprised. (Which DayZ Spy ruins as well.)

Seems like base elements are "protected" backwards now? You can tear them down from the outside but not the inside? Are there really only 4 planned patches left before 1.0? (1 patch per week until Dec 31.) Wow. Not to belittle anyone's anguish here but.... Personally, I think all the panic about leaving player population is a little overblown. Obviously people are leaving because of the bug, but many will return as well. People turn into "Chicken Little" whenever there is a bug that reduces population, and they just as soon forget it once it's fixed.

I don't think so. It sounds like it means servers will retain their current time at restart rather than starting over at dawn.
