\m/ More patches please. THANK YOU

Still no wipe needed? I have a feeling some much larger fixes and changes will hit Experimental some time Soon™. Thanks devs/all!

You have twice the amount of in game time as I yet you have a fraction of the understanding of the development process. Maybe you just need to take a break and come back when some of the bugs that bother you are fixed. Stable does not mean "bug free".

4 months? Are you fucking kidding me? You NEED to read past status reports and stop offering poorly informed opinions. All of these new forum members need to read past status reports and LURK MOAR before making ignorant statements. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You love DayZ? Take some time to learn about the development process.

Teddy bears and morphine, all I need to get through the apocalypse.... emu, Thurman, Luc, IMT, Gary, Brooks, and my dumb ass (force feeding the rest of them pain killers). Building a camp, finding, driving, wrecking, and sticking vehicles. Cooking all the cows Luc slaughtered, and playing with light sources occupied a fair amount of our time. I left after the sad infected turn out at Cherno....

I've purely just waited for the rain to stop when caught in improper gear. Under a tree, in any structure. As long as you aren't on the brink of starving to death you can usually wait out most storms. People are terribly impatient and need CoD NOW!

Oh hey.... @Baty Alquawen the other Experimental thread is still open!

*Repeat suggestion. Ponchos (common) and rain covers for backpacks (uncommon) definitely should have a place in DayZ. Here's my Blue and Yellow Mountain backpack fairly well stuffed (actually expands longer vertically) for the trip to my girlfriends place in Brooklyn. Tonight there is snow in the forecast so I am packing all of my rain gear for the ride home tomorrow. In the first pic you can see my Carhartt rubber rain pants rolled up and secured inside the netting on one side (the pink bag on the other side is my tube replacement kit). I'll wear the rain jacket and boots (Brown rubber Boggs) today though it's dry, they are great for the -0 temps as well. The Camelback branded rain cover on my bag keeps the back pack surprisingly dry! It all kind of took the shape of an ALICE pack so I wanted to share for that reason as well... :P

I think it's ok for a zombie to do massive bodily harm in a single strike AND ruin clothes in a single strike but it should be a rare occurrence. I could tear many types of clothes right off a persons body if I really wanted to..... Denim, canvas, leather, rip stop Nylon, not so much.

Unfortunately, layering was shot down by the devs a long time ago. One of the reasons given was how difficult/time consuming it would be to make sure clothes don't graphically clip into each other. Though they haven't mentioned it, maybe some more recent changes to the game have made this more possible.... I'm not holding my breath. :/

I own a pair of the end game green IRL and they are truly bullet proof (*see also waterproof)! The only issue is you eventually build up sweat moisture under these when working for any period of time but warm + wet is always > cold + wet.

Correct. Yesterday we had many of the vehicles on that server wrangled up in one area and had accounted for 15 or 16 of the vehicles on the server. After a server restart both vehicles in my personal vicinity had disappeared and a nearby sedan spawn now had a sedan.

I think I just died purely to infected strikes for the first time since the MOD! Hooray! I spawned in with all my gear (boo!) and headed to Myshkino tents as I was nearby. When I arrived I watched the infected and found less than 10 walking around. My initial instinct was to stealth and melee when needed but I had to try to be Rambo and kill them all with shotgun/cr75. I shot one from the edge of the base on the West side with the shotgun and killed about a half dozen in 2 waves and then bandaged and reloaded. I thought there could only be a few left so I wasn't too worried at this point and took out the CR75. A couple more got in close and started me bleeding again, as I tried to put some distance between myself and a third wave of infected I heard what sounded like A LOT of aggro'd infected and made a wide arc to find I had a horde of 15-20 following me! I emptied most of the CR mag and probably killed close to half before running for the tents in hopes of some luck climbing a ladder. Cornered in a camo covered structure grabbing at the ladder, red blotches, followed by death. *My only issue with this encounter is the fact that I did not see nearly that many infected when I approached and there just isn't enough buildings to obscure so many hiding inside. It seems the game spawned them in, almost triggered by aggro I created, just to make things more difficult. If the surrounding woods had as many wandering infected it would not be so immersion breaking and one could make a more accurate assessment of the danger an area presents.

No patch pushed to Steam? No servers? Something get fubared?

Awww yeah, thanks devs/all! I'll check it out later!

Wait, what? No one is focusing on you here except emu. I'm trying to figure out how the fuck you think it's cool to come in here with this line of bullshit anyway? Don't drag myself or any of our friends into this bickering, man. Some of us have contributed a lot more around here than you (that's what counts) as well and it's pretty standard practice not to piss off the locals where ever you go. If you think it's pathetic to test every aspect of a new build, eh, fuck off is about as eloquent as I can muster at this time. emu dammit, you gave this guy way too much attention to begin with and went all sideways here. If you want to hunt people who KoS our friends that's cool but you needn't make such a big deal out of it HERE and I honestly try to leave my interactions in the game as such, in the game. I post here about my experiences in game whether I live or die, whether by glitch or bullet. I've had multiple civil conversations with people here who have read a post where they KoS'd me over the years and then reached out to give their side of things ([remember KingOfTime?] often apologizing or at least making it more interesting). I don't want to discourage your heroism, but maybe a little stealth, and a screenshot of a corpse while you can screenshot the name, would be more satisfying than keyboard chest thumping.

Moer patchx plox'z ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ Give SA .61+++vehicle optimizations fixes etc, & Experimental .62 environment, kthnxbai

PongoZ, people aren't playing experimental because there is no new feature or weapon the KoS players care about. If they put the SAW in tomorrow we would see the influx of these boring jag offs once again.

Good attitude, really. The new renderer is in but still running alongside a lot of legacy modules and not fully optimized. Currently the infected are using the updated physics while the character is using placeholder physics, this fact along with the fact that the player controller is being updated should change everything about your observations regarding combat/melee. The entire player controller is being replaced and very indepth animations for layers of character feedback are being added. Injured animations, leaning for aiming, aiming out of cars, fatigue, sickness, and much more will be a visible and (hopefully) authentic representation of a characters health/status. Man, I really hope it's never as long as that last gap between patches again! I hope this helps you to understand the changes coming that will address some of your concerns.

Lowering effects volume due to overly loud vehicle sounds can leave you vulnerable (I think I would have heard more cues when trying to identify aggro etc yesterday). Making a habit to ALWAYS raise your volume when not driving is 100% necessary IMO. Vehicle audio needs love please.

Funny. We do not think he saw the size of our group or where IMT was when he took the shot at me. It's possible he thought he had just scored an easy bus. Not so much.

KoS (possibly metagame KoS), MyBigBlackDick and DicklePick. IMT got DicklePick (MajesticRhino), the possible murderer. He logged while unconscious as emu talked smack. MyBigBlackDick logged out. Thank you for exacting revenge for me IMT.

And here I am snipping the monitor out of the Lada floating pics. :) My last death was 10/10 so will respawn soon after I wrangle some snacks. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lada in the sky with diamonds.

Spawned in the town we fought and cooked wolves in at the end of my night last night. Noticed 0 infected around and it was very quiet. I thought maybe I had snuck in without dynamic infected being triggered and decided to snoop around to see if any were near. As I began to work my way to the other side of town I heard aggro sounds. At first I thought I had triggered aggro unknowingly and took out my hatchet. Then it was quiet again. Now I heard ambient infected sounds soon followed by more aggro that was not on me! At this time I thought maybe I had been unlucky enough to spawn in where another player was looting and killing zombies and pulled out my M4. I slid over the road and saw an infected moving at a fast speed away from me but still didn't see what had drawn it. I decided I was best off just leaving town and started down a gulch catching aggro at some point now convinced I would be shot at any moment. As I'm zig zagging through rocks and some water I finally hear the sound of wolves above me, possibly tangling with infected. I knew I was basically surrounded and the slope back up to the house far to extreme so I stood my ground. Picking off infected which were screening my shots at the wolves, I managed to get 1 screenshot during the nerve racking ordeal. Infected bashing me when I try to shoot wolves, wolves bashing me when I shoot infected. whap-whap-whap-whap-whap go the zambeez, wolf strike 1, wolf strike 2, kill 1 wolf, wolf strike 3, kill 2nd wolf, wolf strike 4..... How was my DayZ? Less than 10 minutes, but pulse pounding@!

Interesting. I understand trees are working to block some rain currently. I do not know anything about "playing red light green light" with the rain cycles. I also believe I have started to get damp before you could actually see the rain graphic.
