Yep. What's being cut? With a majority of key figures leaving, and this years' focus not involving content outside of a DLC (Free? Or paid?) It sounds like progress is just stopping. This status report isn't exactly filling me with any confidence, especially after the massive hiatus and info drought. And please tell me helicopters/small prop plane aren't cancelled, too. :(

Hi guys! My buddy joined me for an adventure in Chernarus on the experimental branch, and we managed to get plenty of looting and sightseeing in, along with our fair share of action. Loving the way combat feels now! If you fancy an alternate look at the final fight, there's a dual perspective version available here, following both our perspectives simultaneously. Let me know what you think! If you enjoyed the video, blah blah blah, you know what I'm asking. Feel free to add me on Steam if you fancy grouping up! :) - Rob

Hi guys, been playing a few other games and just had a few suggestions for improvised/crafted tools and weapons that could appear in DayZ. MOLOTOVS Obviously a gaming staple - can definitely have it's uses for PVE or PVP. Glass Bottle (Vodka, Devs? Da!) + Gas + Rag. Needs matches, or lighter in inventory to use. DYNAMITE With the mines and quarries around the northern end of the map, surely some old blasting dynamite remain in those locations, as a non-military alternative to blowing shit up. With the addition of the cabling system for hooking up power, surely something similar could work for detonators if you want an old-timey, plunger-based explosive trap. DYNAMITE BUNDLES Is one explosive not enough for you, you madman? Attach three or five sticks together with Duct Tape for extra kabooms or the biggest kabooms. Does anyone else have any suggestions, especially going off locations in the game that could have more reason to visit? Let me know below! Personally, I still miss the remote explosives from the Mod Days. Those were dirty.

Oh yes

Oh, man, I'm with you on food variety - and absolutely on the cooking. We can heat water, but we eat rice dry? Yikes. Would love to see the adding meat, rice, etc into a pot creating a more substantial "meal" - filling you better, and for longer. And I'll throw in the L85/L86 from British Armed Forces on top of those weapons you suggested. Chances are if the US had a presence in Chernarus, the Brits would have been dragged along there too, in some capacity. Fits all the usual M4 additions, bar its unique RIS Rail.

After a PUBG-induced Squadmate Drought on DayZ, I've finally decided to jump back in on Barely Infected's The Village server, on Andy's recommendation. No sooner had I spawned in and started walking, I heard gunshots in Elektro, and got a bit curious. I met my first faction, the neutral Land Pirates - a rag-tag band of absolutely great personalities to tag along with. Here's how things went when worlds collided.

Ah, thank you! I really appreciate that, mate :) Aw yeah

Hey @Hicks_206 (DayZ), Looking forward to getting my hands on an old favourite again. Quick question regarding attachments for rifles: are there going to be different types of telescopic sights for rifles like the Winchester/CR 550? I know we have the Hunting Scope currently, but are there any plans for different types, with different reticles (Mod's CZ550, or glow sights for example) and levels of zoom?

Breaking the tradition of most DayZ videos being the creator's moments of badassery and sheer unadulterated skill, or in someone's case, running health scripts or playing entirely staged scenarios to make your E-Peen look nice and girthy; I've thrown together my saltiest, shittiest experiences in 0.61 Experimental Branch so far. After a decent length run with Clarkey that ended in a server-restart shootout that ruined about seven different people's days, my lives in Exp have been hopeful and cruelly shortened, or drawn out, loot-scarce and swiftly ended by an absolute parade of fluttering cunts. Here's a handful of my lives from my four hour play session with Andy on Saturday. While Andy was strolling around the map making friends, I had, from the get-go, a constant stream of wall-to-wall arseholes ending my lives before they even began. Laugh at my misery. And bring chips for the salt. If you enjoy the schadenfreude of watching me get my arse handed to me on a platter, leave a comment!

Rob gets killed by coast campers, and the gang has a change of pace - from Kamyshovo to Cherno, hunting the absolute worst of the DayZ Playerbase.

So, our squad gets somewhat pathetically wiped at NWAF. A lot of gear lost, and the salt is real. If you find yourself in this position, what do you do? Ragequit? Lump up to NWAF and try again? NAH. Lighten the mood by trying a challenge life. Ours is to spawn, and survive only with loot in coastal locations. Very few guns available (unless we kill armed players camping coast spawns) and with little food, our first trial quickly devolved into a bunch of melee-happy, bloodthirsty cannibals, killing purely to eat, and avoid starvation. Enjoy.

Hahaha, maybe in 0.61...

Rob slips back into a sniper role, and the group is called to action at NWAF when PJ and Liam are killed in the blink of an eye.

If you're anything like me, you're looking forward to the RPG/LAW and potentially Improvised explosives then? Satchel charges for me were some of the most fun I had in DayZ Mod, I need my perfectly timed detonations again!

You're one of the cheeky buggers that does this? :P Fair play man, definitely livened up our evening haha.

A roadtrip, a rave in Elektro, shootout at Sosnovka and survivor shenanigans. My last play session was a mixed bag of madness.

Trying to get a large group geared now everyone's back on DayZ, we head to the Northwest Airfield looking for loot... only to find trouble.

Glad you've said this, but I'm ashamed that it has to be said. I feel it's a vocal minority of players that are unhappy whatever the situation, give devs grief and ultimately end up with people like Rocket avoiding social media (or certain forums, cough cough reddit) entirely due to hostility. While the rest of the playerbase is happy seeing progress when it's good and ready, we understand development hiccups delaying goals - and that's fine with us, we want what the devs want - to see it done at tip top quality, when it's done. Unfortunately, we're often keeping pretty schtum during development, just letting it happen. The vocal, angry side, however... All I want to say is, keep up the good work guys, and while there's a lot of negativity in certain places, that's not where the majority is. We're in the background, letting you work! Look forward to the updates, future status reports, and keep up the good work!

Usually you post the video too, Astro. Although I'm sure you're too busy plastering it on reddit and DayZtv as well.

I favour the "Don't move or you die, hands up now. Drop the weapon. If you move, we shoot, so don't turn around." Usually met with movement, raising weapons or being told to fuck myself. When they start dying I get called all sorts.

The only time I ran into a couple of French Guys was close to release. My friend Steve and I were walking through Cherno, and heard French voices in the City Hall square. We walked up to these guys, and I said "Hello, guys." They immediately stopped messing about, looked right at us, and promptly surrendered; which set us off laughing, as they weren't helping the cheese-eating-surrender-y stereotype at all. I gave them some beans and a revolver, and went on my way, still giggling.

Hey guys, last week my usual group realised our communication was a little awful and aimed to coordinate much more efficiently. Everything worked out well at first, as ground team and overwatch working together like a well oiled machine. Ten minutes later, it all falls apart. Watch for schadenfreude.

Thanks a bunch, man :) I'm trying to keep the quality up, shame our gameplay isn't quite as smooth haha. Lone wolfing means you don't have to rely on other people, but there's nobody to look out for you, too! I love a good mix of group sizes, really changes the feel of the game. Need to try invisible friends though, haha.

Thanks, Guppy. "Contact" and initial numbers etc were before I hit record in the first instance, and the second part was me coming into my squad dying, without any effective comms at all. Compass bearing is the method some of us use, but a lot of the group fall back to "my left/right" and most annoyingly "he's right there". There's weak links in the group, and we all shit the bed occasionally. I'll post dyslecxis video to my group, should definitely help!

Ping spiked to 700, kicking me from the game. It happens, I'm sure you've all encountered it before. But when I reconnected, my main inventory was wiped - ammo, food, bandages. I lost 2 bandages, 6 m9 mags, 4 AS50 mags, 2 M107 mags, 5 Stanag SD mags and a Coke (my main concern obviously the coke) My backpack, toolbelt and primary weapon remained. What the balls happened?
