I guess this means no infected in 0.59 for sure? I know it was said we will have to wait for 0.60 but a guy can dream! Oh, and thank you!! You guys are awesome!

Yeah, that's super tiny. Probably a battleeye/security update of some kind. Little updates happen fairly often. I think these little updates can change some configuration settings too. If there were any real updates you would see a lot of chatter about it in the official stable build thread. https://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/228363-stable-branch-058-discussion/page-82#entry2310316 If you really want to stay on top of changes you should follow the official build threads, the experimental build threads, and maybe check Hicks and Eugen twitter feeds. I mostly follow those sources CLOSELY and I almost always have current and verifiable info.

I supported your suggestion. Everything I snipped out of the OP could have been construed as a dig at DayZ and a "so long, fair well, auf weidersein, goodbye". No need to go on the defense. (And yes, I remember you, man)

You're so far off the mark it's like you're firing from another planet. First of all, you should calm yourself and reread what I wrote. I was only talking about support for DayZ into the future. Modding adds to the longevity of the game, I did not say it was the way to add your graphical fix. It has been said that DayZ will be supported for as long as 10 years. Whether you choose to believe me or not. I am in no way required to offer a link. Especially if you're not required to follow the status reports but feel you have so much to offer. If I remember correctly it's been said a few times by the devs and in at least 1 status report some months ago possibly in a conversation regarding console support. Oh yeah! Console support, that adds longevity to the title in a way too, doesn't it?

This is ALPHA running on ancient tech. For example, the upcoming changes to the character animation system and stamina system are going to change how you move through everything. Running and sprint distances, melee, weapon sway, and many other things will be effected by this. That's just a couple of features on the near horizon that will change how you play. Loot/ammo scarcity, advanced medical, dangerous infected, advanced vehicles, base building, soft skills.... Please, go read the status reports until your eyes glaze over.... it's all in there.

This all sounds well and good but something tells me that a few months from now you might find the rest of this post embarrassing.... It kinda makes me want to tell you to go play Exile and not return because you apparently are lacking in appreciation and patience. I'm hurting without infected to kill but I know it's likely less than a month away before we see them in experimental at least. One day hopefully at some point in early Beta we will pass the point where they would ever pull the infected out again and it will be a quaint notion; the thought of Chernarus without infected.

Lately something changed with youtube links and it seems you need to copy the link from your browser address bar not the share section on youtube and remove the "S" after https.

How could you possibly think this? You are so invested in DayZ but somehow missed all the times the devs said DayZ was a decade long project? How about modding? :facepalm: I love the suggestion RE: a fix for terrain bullshit but maybe also follow the development news before making baseless conclusions. I swear it's like 25 people on this forum actually follow the progress of this game sometimes.... :wacko:

There's no such thing as a "bandit". Your definition of a bandit in DayZ is probably different than mine. Try to take almost everything you know about DayZ and change it..... that's what we are in store for. Your game experience is going to change greatly. Possibly to the point where the last of your concerns will be human or animal trophies.

:facepalm:

If we get musical instruments someone can try to RP Cymbal Man with snipers....

:facepalm: lol We are waiting for infected to return. The 3PP people are more the PvP only people....

Maybe another month and you'll have some infected friends mulling about to liven things up. *fingers crossed*

I agree with everything you said there. To me, the original purpose of preorder was to get bonus content on a game that was finished or almost finished and to ensure you got a copy on release day. These days it doesn't matter if you can get a hard copy of a game as everything is downloadable at midnight, preordering a hardcopy hardly ever gets you good bonus material or swag anymore (with a few exceptions), nor does it seem to guarantee that you receive your copy on release day (as was the case with BestBuy and Smash Bros Wii-U).

I thought you didn't fap over the corpses, Ricky-poo? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So many ways people play now are not sustainable. I can't wait for the upcoming features to completely fuck over a lot of peoples PvP play styles. :D

Last I heard we are getting an animation for looking into backpacks. Something like you will stop, take pack off back, open top, look down into pack, now viewing/using items inside. Now that's adding pacing for tension and makes you plan how you use your pack differently! Edit: SMoss Can you offer any word as to whether windows will open and/or be made break-able?

Maybe?? (Play from 19:46)

Bus maps, mirrors, candy, blankets... lot's of little stuff can add to the atmosphere nicely.

Yeah, it's an exciting development. I'm hoping these changes bring select fire mode for the appropriate weapons as well.

Thanks for word regarding the current state of infected bug fixing. Feel free to throw in a few "infected spawn on" servers to 0.59 experimental. :) Edit: the dirt bike (known strangely as motorcycle in the mod) was one of my favorite vehicles as a solo player because it was easier to get running by yourself.

A: that was fantastic. B: it's obviously an invisible Chernarussian Illuminati weather machine tornado.

My point was more about new people who don't understand the process. In this case it's not about "remembering to check the boards" at all. That's why B@ker posted what he did initially... any bit of official news RE: the current state of DayZ would tell you that zombies are out for awhile now and awhile to come. RE: breaks from DayZ, I'm good at mitigating DayZ burnout in general. If we had decent zombies from day 1 I would likely have 2,000-4,000 hours in game by now. Instead I have just shy of 800 hours in the SA.

Not exactly. The quote I heard was .59 or .60 for the return of zombies en masse so nothing has changed from that statement. What surprises me is the amount of people who are willing to buy into this Alpha project but never actually read about the current state of the game. This is a fucking busted, broken, cobbled together, horrific cluster fuck of an Alpha. Assume everything is COMPLETELY BROKEN until 1.0 and you will begin to understand what you are involved in. If missing features and major game breaking bugs will make you not enjoy DayZ you should not be involved with the public testing process.
