Is this live on the test servers?

[leviski 2152]

Razor do i add the skype with the name Carl Shackleton?

[leviski 2152]

For a overview for those who wonder what the patch is like ~its pretty damn good but currently the zombies are hypersensitive super eagles but im sure this will be tweaked.

[jamieledgeway@hotmail.co.uk 216]

I feel the map may be covered in these stashes. Hopefully theres some way of getting rid of them. - But it's still a great idea.

What's happening on the camps front Razor?

Also, tents should last for your characters life, not forever.

Possibly the best edition in a long time. Looks amazing.

Stash sites will be removed just like tents. However this is the start of the sites the sandbags for now is just a placeholder to stop me having 5000000000000000000 on the server :-)

These sites are very limited in space only the medium can hold weapons.

You will see more once crafting is in.

The way zombies behave in the latest build is, for the most part, pretty awesome. I haven't had a zombie hit me through a wall - though, I did see one try, but I happened not to be near enough. So, that issue has definitely been minimized, if not addressed completely. They are definitely more like the 1.7.5 zeds and they hit harder, but don't make you bleed as often. And, they certainly chase you longer. I ha one that RAN AROUND the pine tree I tried to use to lose LOS - it didn't stop an walk for a moment, as I've seen in the past. It took a lot of weaving for it to finally get lost.

So far, the only issue I've seen with the zeds is the aggro from sensing. I've had zeds almost 20m away aggro when they are facing away from me when I'm crouch walking, I've got no bars for sound. It would be awesome if it was still possible, though difficult to enter an area without aggroing zombies, if you took it really slow, used cover and played the angles... at the moment it's futile. No matter how good you may be at stealth, if you a come across a zed, it's not a question of IF they aggro, it's a question of WHEN - and that will be more sooner than later. If you can't get your hatchet out or a silenced weapon, be prepared to check for loot by running by windows and doors and quickly pie'ing it.

And, I really think the blood regen should apply to ALL blood regeneration. The great thing about the idea of a "skills based" system is that the "days survived" factor can reduce the mindless PvP and make people want to keep their characters alive to gain a benefit... but that won't happen if bloodbags are a loophole. Simply making bloodbags more rare is not enough. Why not try it with bloodbags.

I love that blood from food regenerates slowly.

God this patch is taking forever, what do they have like 1 person working on it or something?

[jamieledgeway@hotmail.co.uk 216]

Regardless of how many people are on it, apparently it can't be released til Rocket returns.

Razor, can you make vehicle parts on the floor able to go straight into backpack? Rather than having to clear out inventory space etc.

Also why not increase the 'size' of parts, so that you can't fit 4 wheels into a cayote! Make them like 12 slots or something.

I dont understand this wait for rocket returns for the patch to be out, i mean are we in the internet age or back to the stone age?

[jamieledgeway@hotmail.co.uk 216]

I don't understand either, the patch is out on some servers as 'pre release', so why can't it be released.

To release it on public hives, the source files may need to be signed. On private hives, this should be another thing.

[ehdseven 15]

There is only 2 servers, EHDGaming and GB Wireworld. Wirewold have a community to do testing, while I run the main testing server for the initial launch of new builds.

Cant he signe the files via internet?

[Ken Bean 175]

Don't know. Maybe he wants to test them first? Maybe he uses Rocket-Codes which shouln't be sent via the internet?

From the Everest? I hardly doubt that...

[leviski 2152]

Belive me people you wouldnt want this patch live yet its not very well rounded imo

Currently in the test server all the buildings in cherno and elektro spawn nothing but empty cans of crap m240 mags and water-bottles

and although I think zombies are very broken and hypersensitive I guess they are not.

If this was the standard patch I would not play DayZ again until the SA

However remember The test server is BETAish and has alot of bugs (or something like that) So there is hope and whatnot.

[r4z0r49 4761]

Zeds sensing is being changed on every build the last build had an angle of view set to 275 degrees so yea they spot pretty mad just now.

While we wait for release we may as well keep adding and updating so the build will change while we wait.

Sorry forget to add about bloodbags the new regen system will appy to bloodbags also. Im just trying to get the numbers correct for the diminishing effects on food before i move to blood bags.

I get why those stashes should not hold to many weapons, but this also affects tools, as they are all weapons in tents and cars.

Considering that those would be perfect to create a little life-insurance-stash close to the coast, to drop a map and some beans into, I'd like to see the volume tweaked a bit upwards. Not because it should be a weapons-stash, but because having spare tools in it would really make sense.

Is there any way to limit it so it would hold only tools or only tools and handguns, but not rifles? I think that would be a perfect compromise for small stashes.

Sorry forget to add about bloodbags the new regen system will appy to bloodbags also. Im just trying to get the numbers correct for the diminishing effects on food before i move to blood bags.

Any thoughts about a 1000ml Bloodbag regenerating 6000ml of Blood? Always found that to be a bit odd.

The average Heart-rate pumps about 5 liters each minute. In my opinion, the bloodbag should regenerate 1000 blood pretty fast. (20sec-animation) but require two players to stay put. Food should regenerate over a longer period of time. I think up to 20 minutes to fully heal (multiple meals) would be an acceptable healing-duration to get back to full health, but if it took hours to heal, people would probably be upset.

If people would auto-heal, using up 2 water 1 food each 1 blood, sitting still would regenerate blood and make you more hungry and thirsty over time. Eating tons of food wouldn't help you anymore. All that would work, would be waiting to be hungry again until blood reached acceptable levels.

But Still, very very excited about the changes so far. not a fan of the starters-makarov, but that aside, really good changes. Just thought if you have to wait to release, why not add some suggestions :-) keep up the good work.

This patch is gonna be awesome, at least, that impression do the changelog's give me.

But Razor, can you confirm that the time we have to wait is still 1+ month because of the absence of Rocket?

Or is the reason that you didn't release the patch yet Bohemia and Battleye?
