You said you were signing off of this a day ago..... but you came back. Such lack of conviction. The DayZ social scene has been a negative echo chamber for YEARS. Just complainers complaining to other complaining complainers all patting each other on the back, and wanking each other in the front. If I am allowed to play devils advocate or at least ask for more civil attitudes towards the devs, than I am going to do so, and patiently continue to wait for the features and polish I have hoped for. DayZ 1.0 may be in 1/1/2019, but my idea of a complete game probably won't be until something likely labelled 1.5 at this point. Again, my voice is equally valid, even if it's unpopular. Everyone knows popular opinion = fact, right?

You said no one was insulting them with a question mark. Don't try to skew things to buddy up with the other complainers. Preposterous. Nothing has changed. The devs are no better or worse than in the past. The only difference is you've come crawling out of the woodwork to try to play now and you can't handle bugs. Bugs that have always plagued this project exponentially. I have given the devs harsh criticism when they deserve it. While these posts are just whining and crying, which is never constructive or informative. I don't care how many of you band together. I've been through all of this so many times, and it's always the same shit, different smell.

^he asked. But you're not paying attention, are you? I don't care how disaffected and belligerent the new guys get, I'm not going to change how I post to accepting the less patient and rude forumers who appreciate little.

Pretty insulting if you ask me.

Asparagus.

Right. So my asking people to be less abusive to the devs is "incorrect"? They aren't saying "why is my game breaking now?". They said, "why you fix chimney not persistence, you're garbage!". I've suffered through so much of this process to help bring you to this point, I deserve to take a sanctimonious stance any time I please. When you add things in game dev, you break things in any number of places. Right, man? Right? I mean, that's correct isn't it? Please tell me I'm wrong there? You know this, others testing should also know this already. My voice is at least equally valid, and likely better informed. Someone should try to tamp down the ineffectual rabble. Do you think they are not aware of the problems??? ??? ??? Amaze balls.

I've seen things. I understand this process better than the VAST majority. I have patience and perspective. I never saw anywhere that they promised persistence fixed in Experimental...... which of course gets wiped anyway right? I think you're just trying to troll basically, and I'm not biting. Anyway, if you didn't do what I described in my initial post, it wasn't intended for you. Don't try to defend entitled ignorant whiners.... ^And this? Really? You realize this is still DayZ, right? lool

This forum has been swamped with so many new/old rando's..... welcome back?? Doesn't it occur to these people that the guy who fixes chimney smoke is not the same as the guy who fixes persistence? Of course smaller simpler bugs will be fixed faster. It doesn't mean that the guy who works on those things is equally capable of fixing persistence in the same amount of time does it now? Seriously people. I want persistence fixed just as bad as you, but apply a little logic before you insult the developers maybe.

Thanks devs/all! I'm looking forward to trying the latest improvements and additions when I return from traveling abroad. Personally I hope to see infected AI and interactions with infected improved greatly. Looking forward to adding feedback on that when the time comes.

Can we possibly keep stable discussion to stable thread and experimental discussion to experimental thread, please?? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Played for a couple of hours earlier. First infected I tried boxing with brass knuckles and he didn't seem to take any damage. After that, I was able to kill the infected as per normal. Body temp seems to be more forgiving, and recovery time for warming seems sped up. Glad to hear the bushes make sound again and the rain seemed to be a little quieter. Food consumption due to hypothermia seemed less overwhelming. No major crashes or bugs encountered, some freezing when engaging infected but mostly smooth otherwise. Breathing sounds are toned down, injured sounds have been changed as well. More new infected sounds heard, and aggro seems to be tweaked a bit too. Found a lot of buckshot but no slugs. Rain gear is of questionable usefulness right now but it was hard to tell. I thought maybe the patrol jacket was helping some.

Many things that did not work for you are things that won't be in for a while, unfortunately. Like tanning. If you had follow more closely you can learn what features and mechanics are coming, that hopefully will add those things back in that you want, and polish the rest. It will likely be many more months before that happens though. :(

Then go play something else!

"Why isn't my least favorite bug fixed or mentioned in the build notes!" This is what's ready now. The bugs you mentioned are being worked on. They aren't going to specifically list all pending bugs and fixes and when they will be done in every build release. This is what's ready now. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thanks devs! I will likely give it a try later.

My confidence was massively shaken by the 7 month update drought we had. My suspicion is that they found so much flawed code in the engine they had to go back and rebuild it. The amount of double and triple work we've seen throughout the alpha phase was disconcerting as well. The data they gleaned from our testing on the old engine seems to be useless now as they are rolling out the latest iterations that seem to be starting from scratch again. The perfect example being vehicles. When they released the latest version of vehicles performance was almost exactly as it had been when they released the first versions of vehicles on the old engine. Infected were originally supposed to be server controlled and they fell back on dynamic spawned infected after many many months with almost no infected in game at all. They could have been perfecting dynamic spawn that whole time and given the PvE players more to do but instead we suffered in an empty game for months. There is probably a list of twenty or less features that should have been worked on as priorities from day one. Things as basic as throwing objects and key bindings being two examples that defy explanation as to why they were left off. At this point I'm slogging forward, taking everything they say with a box of salt, and hoping that maybe something they call 1.5 or a modded version will deliver on the original promises.

This totally deserved 2 separate threads!!! Thank you. Why anyone would want to play DayZ with a controller on PC is beyond my understanding. You will be at a massive response time disadvantage when aiming.

No? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I "love" the posts that end in demands. "Fix this now!" "You must fix this." "I can't believe you fixed "X" before "Y", FIX IT NOW!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Whatever the bug is..... of course they are going to fix it!! It may not be the next thing they fix but your priorities for the development may not be the same as theirs. Deal with it.

No worries really. There aren't a lot of choices.... how were you to know? I don't blame you here. It's why I slowed down on the long play sessions. Too much work for too little pay off. I miss when persistence wipes were announced and given advanced warning for. At least we could have grabbed our most valuable things before wipe and started over with some basics.

Meh, PvP videos aren't going to garner much interest here. We've seen it all countless times.

This was not the server I wanted to play on. It was just a server I found with proper version. I would likely be playing on my home server with a friend or 2 right now if it had updated.

I was able to join one of the few servers with proper version. Had a kitchen knife and a single can of food when some nimrod decides to KoS me. I hope those infected finished you off, jackass. Log back in, loot for 15 minutes, night time falls like a hammer. With effectively 0 visibility I ended up walking my character to death. I'm all for a challenge but the visibility at night should be a little bit better. I was seeing better performance, additional infected models, new sounds for infected, new stomach grumbling sounds, and new character pain sounds when cold or losing health. Only wish I could have tested more rather than wandered through shades of charcoal black and the rain graphic.

"We are in contact with BattlEye to resolve the BSoD issue appearing on certain PCs."

"The update will be pushed to Stable as well in a few minutes. It might take server providers a while to switch to the new version." ^This would have been helpful in the OP.... but here's why we are locked out.

Yes indeed. Where you quoted me, I said just that.
