How dumb could I have been. Never noticed this before, you just broke everything down to the essential points. Thanks ererneviele!

Cheap or not cheap. I really like the attempt to have a stable and an experimental version to choose from in the standalone. Very good news for me, no further embarassing for not being able to play because of not proper working patches. This brings me back on the track of willing standalone buyers :)

Currently tents only save once. Pitch a tent and put some items in before saving. After first save the items will stay in the tent. It's not possible to incremental save unfortunately. So you live forever with the items placed at first in the tent.

Wow. We should call the forbes magazine they will be impressed. Immense profit and a million players from a tech demo. But wait. So far I'm just impressed that so many people just parrot what annoyed users is given as explanation in hundred of threads in this forum. As written in my post which you have quoted, I would really like to see this going in the right direction. I have just mentioned my lack of understanding from a marketing perspective how currently many potential customers get chased away. Fine that you are happy with it. But a forum lives from the exchange of views. Posts like "STFU, LoL and QQ" and in the DayZ case "It's Alpha, your arguments are invalid" are pretty useless.

Welcome to the world of free thinkers.

@Fraggle Sure, the NVG is nice. But it happens sometimes that I totally forgot to turn it back on when I return to my corpse. With the correct settings you even have colors and not just green in green like the NVG :D The current settings are just too far away from what it would be when you are in the woods. Your eyes can accustom to the current light, but in dayz the shadows make it to a complete dark sometimes.

Just declaring a game alpha to have an excuse for every shitty patch and ignoring bugs that make the game unplayable is cheap. Whatever you say, rockets current employer made a big profit with people buying Arma2 only for DayZ. Not to mention the big image gain for their company. Actually they will have to do a lot to convince current players to trust the standalone release. Following the minecraft model already says a lot about the self conciousness... Personally I hope and wish that they manage to change the tack after the gamescom and the hopefully soon arriving 1.7.3 patch. If not... no question there will be many blind fan boys, but with a bit more understanding of the market there would have been a lot more in it.

As long as you can disable shadows and adjust brightness and gamma, nobody needs NVG...

Well you can find several topics in this forum reporting the same issue before the 1.7.2.5 release. In my case this came up with the 1.7.2.4 patch.

Actually I have noticed that some zombies got lost when just running straight away, I hadn't to disappear into the bushes. This didn't happen at any time before, just when running up hills. Eventually this was a coincidence, but anyway the zombies still run from far away at breakneck speed to me and then follow me. So a general slow down was not noticed from my side.

A car becoming a bike, finally I know what rocket ment with something for the lulz in 1.7.2.5 B) But seriously except from that this all happens at our server too... At 1.7.2.3 (july 15th or something) everything worked with them, since 1.7.2.4 it's fucked up. Actually I'm positive about this getting fixed as the duping was made difficult since last update despite of rockets statement that this won't ever be fixed in the mod. Hopefully 1.7.3 takes care of that. Than for most of the players beyond "survive day 1" the game is currently quite annoying. Sure, in the short run it's nice to have all items duped in the tents after server restarts... but well would be nicer if the tents could actually be used for what they are ment.

Have no glitches at the place in Cherno where I got some 2 hours before. Latest Arma 2 beta patch and connected to 1.7.2.5 server. Now I would likely again raise the question if something has happened to the tents with this hotfix... Don't get it why these questions get ignored, I guess everyone could live with a "No, not in this Hotfix, wait another week". At least better than just no news.

Any fix for the tents, vehicles and helicopters included? They still aren't saving items no matter if saved or not. And the chopper just respawns unrepaired after server restart. Just asking so far.. Bugs are still present and the server is always up to date.
