Yes. We have already previewed some animations for this a few months ago....

Some of last nights shenanigans.... I ran solo for a while and finally met emu and Dudester100 in Pogarevka. Firing rounds there drew many many infected. As I had already lost some blood earlier, the ensuing fracas brought me further into the gray scale. This guy ran into our group, offered his weapon to us (which no one wanted), proclaimed that there was no use in logging out as he thought we would be wiped somehow arbitrarily, and then proceeded to F11 with the shotgun. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Logging in this morning I ran North into solitude and was rewarded by the path less traveled. I got a plate carrier with pouches that I don't really need but I figured I would hold onto it as a gift for someone or until I got the holster. Other than that there was only a couple flash bangs and not much else. After running NE for a while longer I came upon a construction site and the buildings around had a lot of food! Entering the next mid sized town, I found a lot of infected and sparse loot. Determined to loot as thoroughly as possible I used stealth and a few well planned infected kills to loot more than half the town. I did manage to nab some good ammo and a few odds and ends. I had been finishing looting a southern lane of the town when some suspicious movement caught my eye. At first I thought an infected had caught aggro but as soon as I homed in on the movement I realized it was a player and judging by their movements, I had not been detected yet. I felt I had plenty of time and a clean enough route out of town that I merely picked a direction well covered and high tailed it out of town half expecting gunshots to follow me. But no gunshots or people did follow and I continued forth to eat and drink my bounty in peace..... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Did we forget to point out this Easter egg? I bet there's a few women who agree that Dean Hall is....

I was force fed a wolf steak by emu last night, so yes wolves are in.

I lost my first 1PP character last night trying to climb the red and white tower. :(

In 3PP hive I survived to be healed and well geared after being spawned in the rain and spending time in a house for 5-10 minutes waiting for the rain to abate. Honestly this seems to happen with most cold/wet experimental patches. The unprepared people start to have fits when survival mechanics get tweaked at all or even when the seasons change....

Thankfully the REPORT button works too! You are so far out of order in terms of the rules of DayZ forum, I do not think you know how perilous your position is based on your last comments towards the devs and your fellow members.

^^^Did you read that you should take your clothes off near the fire?^^^ Can you avoid the falling water from the sky with patience until you find rain gear? Have you ever dealt with hypothermia in DayZ before, because it seems to be working pretty similarly to other cold and wet winter patches...? So many of us have managed but you have failed to survive the elements. Please try harder!

The only thing unacceptable is your tone RE: the experimental branch/ALPHA. Please reread the agreement you click before playing.

The amount of ignorant shit I have seen on this forum in 4 1/2 years is astounding. Myself and a tiny group of informed people have maintained a semblance of consistent engagement with the project and it has not been easy retaining ones sanity when every other day there is somebody who comes along and smears another layer of shit talk over the relevant parts of the forum. Here.

Sweet! Great report and great Q&A videos. Here's my 2 favorite sunrise pics from .60

Correct, but I believe he is referencing a recurring bug and not a patch wipe.

I haven't played as much as some others here lately but I can say that after looting a few different military bases I saw none. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This fellow (jester something...) was lucky to have ran into our mostly neutral crew in such abrupt manner. He was escorted politely by my comrades to a jail cell, had his belongings picked over, and was sent on his way unharmed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ About 4 hours of mostly stable play tonight. Without much trouble I was able to link up with emuthreat, starvingart, Kohlbar, and HighLight. Server stability was enough for longer testing sessions but I did see many of the more well documented bugs. Shuddering/shifting during interactions with structures and infected being the most immediately troublesome. I'm not sure if night looks any different but I liked how dark it was, even at the expense of screenshots. I put in some good work with a Magnum and Shotgun combo before finding an Aug and a couple mags. Loot tables are funky, I'm not sure what I'm seeing in the patterns of item spawn. emu reported seeing completely stationary infected at 500+ meters, which is an old issue. The UI, hot bar, and vaulting have improved. 4 well armed players had only minor difficulties with infected at NWA. There's a place I hope we will see more spawning in the future. Some of the guys bagged some venison and beef steaks and after a cold wet day survived we filled our bellies before retiring....

@IMT There's more than one way to spell "Biohazard".... ☣☣☣☣☣☣☣☣☣ Sincerely, ☣BioHaze☣

@odin_lowe May we have a video of you tactically clearing a small town of infected with a silenced pistol while cursing softly in French, English, and Japanese?

I believe @IMT found a Heli before being sniped. He might remember where that was....

When this happens, don't move! Log out where you stand and try to log back in. You may have lost connection to the hive at some point. If you do start gearing up and then log out, it may still switch you back to the older character, losing the newer one entirely.

Played uninterrupted for about 2 hours. Was on the hunt for WolveZ but found none though I ran most of the Northern edge of the woods. Of course now I'm headed out to spend the night at my girlfriends, now that we have a functioning patch.... Killed more than a few infected, tried the MP-33 and it sounded great. Aggro and hit detection with infected seemed possibly improved. I keep forgetting to check infected bodies for loot! Good luck, all!

Playing now for 30mins+ "...M-4 in a barn..." - Hix How about CMAG in a hiking jacket in a civilian house? :D

(I have been inflammatory on this subject in the past but I will use the most neutral language possible that I can to present the facts as I know them regarding DayZ as someone who has been informed of the development path from day 1 and has rarely missed a release, status report, or nearly any mainstream official content.) Fact 1: 3PP was put into ARMA2 labelled as EASY MODE, and as I understand it was only in the mod because it was a leftover from ARMA 2. Fact 2: 3PP will never leave. Fact 3: Most of the major devs on DayZ who are vocal in social media have urged the player base time and time again to try the immersion of 1PP because it is far superior and helps bring the game closer to a survival game in ambiance. Fact 4: ALL OF YOUR DISCUSSION ABOUT HOW TO PVP IS ALMOST A COMPLETE WASTE. NEW PLAYER CONTROLLER, STAMINA, WEIGHT, CONTAMINATED ZONES, INFECTED EVERYWHERE? The game, on a wholesale level, is going to change DRASTICALLY. 99% of players are not really prepared for this mentally, or otherwise.

^This. You may benefit from reading the past status reports you may have missed or looking to the trello page for information about what the future changes to the game entail. How you have DayZ'd all this time is going to change, SOON!@(™)

Yeah, if I get the first strike in and have a clean stagger/strafe combo I can avoid the collision shenanigans. If you start missing, they will sort of squeeze around you swiping, sometimes really rapidly, just within average melee range.

Something maybe related to hit boxes or physics is making melee with infected perform differently. It seems harder to stay within swinging range than it used to be. Either the infected are strafing around a bit or some kind unintended collision is taking place. I know myself and others have mentioned similar experiences but I wanted to be sure it was out there a bit more....

I would certainly rather have these tests expressing things like this previously unknown crash bug than to have nothing to even try and test. I can't remember any previous crash bug being quite this persistent. There are a lot of new things piled into this build, maybe that is part of the reason the bug seems so elusive.\ *fingers crossed for tomorrow*
