I have to add, this experimental build has been great for me as a previous mod player. I spent over 1000 hours on mod. This one is truly giving me these old dayz moments! It is great. What I've experienced on this 0.62. experimentals; I've driven a bus (to crash it) Sedan (disappeared after restart) Offroad (burnt it) Killing other survivors because being scared and suprised, close range, 3 different times. Been suprise attacked by wolfpack catching 2x cholera and food poisoning rain and getting wet really challenges you sometimes if you get suprised by it running through new areas and figuring the map all over again killing lots of zeds crafted a full ghillie which took a damn amount of effort killing all the chickens cooking meat with various of ways been scared and got off guard plenty of times At times game feels like it's easy only to encounter something suprising (odd event, bug etc.) I hope this random stuff will occur even more, getting sick, cold etc. that challenge you as it creates desperate moments, if you try to play the game and not just respawn. Thank you for these!

I got properly dayz'd just a moment ago, kind a epic. Let me tell you. I was actually thinking about coming to ask here if there are any animals in experimental because I have not seen any time that I've spent in this exp build. Well, I logged in far west. I had previously picked up a sks and I was double carrying (CR on my back). I don't actually like to double carry so I decided to drop the SKS as I started to continue my journey. Just as I've left the sks behind, was not able to backtrack it because out of nowhere 8 pack of wolves appears attacking my flank. Totally surprised and kind a panicking trying to get a weapon in my hand, I take bunch of hits from wolves as all of them jumping on me. First I pulled scorpion with no effect on wolves whatsoever, gun empty, I pull my 1911 and am able to take 1-2 down, empty, I pull my main CR and empty it taking 2 more down and the wolves decides to flee. I lost about 1000 health and blood in this encounter but now I'm stacked of wolves meat as it took me 30 min to cook all the meat from 4 of them. While I was cooking the meats wolves actually comes back and tries a second attack as of 4. I take 2 more down and they make a retreat once again. Just as I was finishing with the cooking I try to roast the last meat piece my guy decides to eat it not stick it towards fire!! I try to cancel action with no success..... funny taste in my mouth... moderate foodpoisoning appears on debug. I had stashed antibiotics on my backpack, only to turn out that they don't help with this kind of disease. I have to endure it it seemed like, I eat all the meat I've done. But no liquids on my invetory and losing blood and hydration I knew I have to find water source and there was none at that part of map I was, no towns in sight and I was actually exploring unknown territory to me, finding new places.. after, not sure long period of time, color starts to fade on my screen and I search trough first town that comes by, no water pump.. then I just decided to run to area that is somewhat known to me, I find a offroad middle of the field, my blood is just above 2000, still looking for water, hydrated indicator gone, losing still blood, yellow sick marker. I crash the offroader as I fell into a ditch, can't go forward or backward. Hop out, run... blood is ticking below 2000... I thought this is it probably: CR with ghillie wrap, 1911, scorpion, stomach full of wolves meat, gorka clothes, 100's ak rounds all ready for exploring new territory... then I hear water splashing under my feet, I find a river! Fill bottle, drink all, hydrated & energized, I find a nice grass to fall unconscious, I sit down and wait for the blood tick below 1000... sitting for a while closing blood level of 1000 my guy gets up and vomits, I drink some lost water and search for wiki about food poisoning and it tells me that after vomiting I'm all good, I notice my blood levels starting to rise not dip any longer. Well I thought, nice... now I only have to wait for my blood to regen. I get back to the crashed offroader trying to get it unstuck, no success. I decide to burn it, yay. Fun times... I take a place under pine tree to sit down and wait for my blood levels restore. But I am losing hydration level way too fast, what is this... debug saying foodpoisoning cholera... from the river water.... no way, I have to find pure water to drink as wiki says I'll be losing lot more water with this one!! I'm thinking..... all because of not able to cancel animation that was not even suppose to operate to begin with.. actually because of the wolves surprise attack... this is actually interesting challenge. I just manage to go through medium food poisoning, can I take on this cholera that turns out to be medium one losing even more water. I do find a water pump just before cholera kicking in on brown indicator. Now I'm hanging next to water pump and waiting for cholera to calm down. I'm actually regenerating blood at the moment but am still below 2000. I log out.. Truly experimental run, with all new mechanics to me. I've gone through mild cholera once in this game, actually on experimental few days ago I guess. But all these random stuff coming as avalanche on me because I was not ready for the wolves, lol. TL;DR I got suprised by 8 wolves two times, I catch food poisoning by accident just as I was cooking the last piece of meat, I found offroad only to crash it in to a ditch as I am desperately looking to fill water bottle to get hydrated. My blood goes close to 1000 before I vomit and start to regen blood only to found out that the water I drink gave me medium cholera which meant I needed to find a clean water source to survive it and just as cholera truly hits me I'm able to find a water pump. Currently I'm ~1800 blood and green hydr. & energ. Will see if I'm able to survive. add: I actually took a screenshot, forgot: http://i.imgur.com/TPSr62O.jpg

We actually did this one day on a full server. We walked from the railway station to football field through that actually town area (past police station, bar, piano houses). I was unarmed other wise fully geared and had 3 guards responding to fire. None of us died, some aggresors did die though. It took a bit more than 30 minutes. We also made a walk back to docks past the school. That was actually when we started to get shot at on our way back. also spent hour and half yesterday walking through upper part of berezino (from the tank statue to lower apartments/shop)... got shot two times, killed 5 players trying to take me down while doing my business.. walking.

Game was unplayble just a moments ago as we tried two different servers with my mate and is propably related to this rockets tweet: We got teleported 3 times to same place where we started to play from => not possible to play the game on rush hours. Maybe hive dependent? There was quite a massive lag as actions did take like 5 seconds to something to happen. We decided to log off from time being. Not much point playing just to get teleported to same location you started. Anyone else have same problems right now? If this get fixed on upcoming patch, I think they are focusing on major bugs... that make the game unplayble.

You run as fast as you bicyle in the mod. Fists up and go!

I had an idea right after I post my message. This assumption is based on that the weapons have conditions like the parts. You might be able to see the weapons condition by inspecting or looking carefully the object (gun). Like you can see difference in badly damaged shirt and pristine shirt. Have someone noticed any difference in guns that you could see by looking at the gun or inspecting it?

I'm starting to believe that the guns (base of them) do have a condition like the parts but for some reason it is not visible on the info box. I think Sacriel and Break did some accuary testing yesterday? (I was not able to watch that twitch video with this bad computer) but they had significant difference on guns. Break was able to land just about all his shot on target while Sacriels gun didin't hit same target just about at all. As long as we dont see the condition of those guns, we need to trial and error which is in good condition and which is not. I hope someone investigates this properly! I don't recall that I've found a accurate m4 yet, even though I've had always pristine parts. Dayz intel is saying that Buttstock MP is 6 times more accurate than the stock one = should have big impact on accuarcy. (sorry for weak english)

Thank you, actually got the same information as I watched the video again. So water takes half the amount stomach space than it gives you water. Eating a pack of rice you want to drink a full canteen of water taking total 1500 space in stomach and giving you 3700+ energy. So it is wise to eat and drink all the while and not all at once as you'll stuff your stomach pretty easily that way.

A question about the stomach. When you drink water does it fill your stomach as you get a message saying: i feel completly full? And is it possible to stuff your stomach only with water and be starving because of it? Still little confused about how the stomach works :|

So one sip from canteen is 200 water (1 use = 20%?) and a sip from water pump is 100 water, did I get it right? Very good videos!!

Maybe saline should just start your blood to regenerate at full speed instead giving you full health immediality. I can't remember finding saline ever, though.

Happens. I killed my mate who was fully geared in a grocery store. I had just killed 3 other guys in close combat and the 4th guy was my mate :/

Just had my first experience killing other survivors in this standalone (first 30 hours I did not engage against survivors). In the MOD it was only beneficial to kill people and get their gear. Now, after 5 kills, I've not been able to gather anything proper condition gear form those 5 corpses except the gun they had in hand, which seems to be the only thing that does not get ruined when you shoot someone. I like this a lot but I'm not sure if the condition system is working as intended atm. I hear people using ruined stuff like they were in working condition. One thing that I noticed is that ruined pistol mag wouldn't go in to a pistol, so it is working in some area. My question is, is the condition system working fully or not? I guess when it will, it might lower the KOS slowly in time as the possible gear is lost. I'll continue this a little. Of course when you are fully geared there is nothing you need from other survivors and you can KOS as you feel (+as long as you stay alive). Currently the only gear (besides the gun) that stays in pristine condition is ammo, when you empty those ruined mags you get pristine ammo that can be used and you only need 1 or 2 pristine mags which you can fill when needed. For example I had one 30 round mag yesterday which I got from my mate, killed 3 armed survivor with that mag and I gathered 200 pristine 5.56 ammo from those ruined mags.

Keep also in mind that people can spawn right behind you or near you when they join the server. Especially at high gear spots (barracks, prison). Scouting is good and all but sometimes can mean nothing. There is a sound (loading a gun) that people tend to make when they join in, keep your ears open :)

Zombies behaviour that been discussed in past few pages came with the hotfix, I think and I'm pleased to see that the issue is being adressed and hopeful about it to be fixed. Razor and those guys behind these patches are doing a great job at trying to improve the mod for us. If I may I would like the Z'ds be more of a threat in the next patch more like they were in 1.7.7. One thing that could make them harder is that they cause to bleed more often... maybe everytime they hit you, you'll start to bleed?
