Nice work, I really wasn't expecting another update until standalone. No dogs though?

Sup. We're back.

[t0pz 173]

Sweet! This was unexpected :)

It's great to see that the community can contribute to the mod. We may start looking into the mod files ourselves and send in improvements. Thanks for the combined effort!

A lot of tent-y business!

Stoked on the fact that a patch is being released, regardless of upcoming standalone. Plenty of wubb for all who contributed :wub: :wub: :wub:

[rocket 16567]

This update never would have occurred without the tremendous involvement of community members and server hosters. Huge effort and coordinated by R4Z0R49 particularly.

w00000p

[razorman 15]

Excellent news!

[SumoS 168]

''Community edition''

This going to be a pre order bundle? Or a Greatest Hits soundtrack? ;)

Edit:

"Plenty of wubb"

Leave the dubstep out of this...

Well shit, this is amazing. great job guys.

There will be problems with the new combat logging system, but I suppose the ability to tolerate that can be acquired...

Rocket.

You and all the guys are doing a boss job. Thanks for everything you have done so far and waiting with great excitement for standalone.

Thank you for bringing someone who had lost touch with gaming so far back into it that I ended up renting a server to play and help the community

epic game, epic update!

[PrAyTeLLa (DayZ) 7]

How much was community and how much was devs?

Edit: Well, since I last refreshed you've paid plenty of tribute to the community, namely R4Z0R49, but I am still curious. Call me crazy, but I swear the majority didn't think we'd hear from you until standalone.

I hope that more hosters become aware of this. Together we can make a tremendous difference to this mod

the combat feature is really helpful and is the best feature in this update.

Thank you Rocket

[CombatWombat (DayZ) 63]

Got to be the best list of fixes I have seen.

Thankyou for listening to us Rocket, thankyou.

[mzltv 2281]

It's great to see that the community can contribute to the mod.

I was going to say; not only was I suprised to find that a forum member had helped co-ordinate the patch, but that multiple individuals from the community had contributed towards it. Stuff like this gets me so, so stoked on the prospect of how utterly amazing DayZ has the potential to be (even though it's already killer)

[jingled@hotmail.com 86]

Problems?

internet/electricity shutdown for example is a problem...

[bahhh 83]

What do you think of resetting the whole db? Since we blocked the duping(i'm so happy omg) we may have to eliminate the already duped items that are so abundant all over the servers right now. Also we now can balance the equipments much accurately since we get the right data.

[VRShiva (DayZ) 3]

That's all good aslong as you are not engaged in combat.

[humbleuk 76]

rocket please unban the classes for lights, so we can try cherno without using seperate mods and code to get them working PLEASE!!

Also if you feel like it maybe the refuel and repair trucks :P

[Michaelvoodoo25 3120]

This is why the Mod will live on after the SA is released, A community.

Cheers to all involved.

[joemiken 16]

Even though it appears they basically took 90% of DayZ Redux and incorporated it into the mod, it's a MUCH needed addition. Wish vehicle flipping was incorporated though. That's extremely handy for ATVs. Would've also liked to seen the "auto-fuel" feature added (drive to gas station, vehicle refuels itself), although I can understand why it's not there. If nothing else, make it so the player has to get out of the vehicle and interact w/ the pump to start the fueling process.

What if a hacker teleports all Player then does a Roundhouse kick with his MG Firing all the People.

That means no escape from Hackers through you will get killed anyways right?

1. Stay = Die to Hacker

2. Leave = Die to System
