DayZ 1.8 Update

[MrONEBADDUDE (DayZ) 2]

Did the DayZ 1.8 Update come out today? Because I see people on the fourms that say that there playing the new update I use DayZ Commander and it's not on here.. At all.. And I looked on youtube and I used search prefences as today and there was someone who said 1.8 came out today. Is it just DayZ Commander that hasen't updated it? Please help me!

No it is not out, the BMRF guys are running a test server for it

A bigger turn off than the last patch was.

Why so?

[scaramoosh 162]

Please tell me they got rid of infection and finally made it so people cannot hog the vehicles, that's the main killer for me and why I haven't played in months. In fact infection made all my friends remaining quit because it's made melee useless and it's annoying trying to find antibiotics, especially when there are no hospitals in the middle of the map.

They did not

 

everything is much worse now, once you get "hit" you have 15 minutes to find a sterile wipe to clean your wounds

 

if you don't clean the wound, you get infected and loose 1 blood/sec

 

vehicles still gets hogged that will never get fixed. Antibiotics are still rare, but medical supplies actually spawn in hospitals again!

 

there is a crafting system now....but the stuff you need to craft is so rare good luck ever using the system.

 

 

Everything is also super rare now, such as guns and ammo, and the zombies while are alot better need their detection rate tuned down like .5% to be perfect.

[longdongsilverz 22]

I haven't played it yet, but after reading through the BMRF forum, it looks like they added a "carry" slot so that you can switch between a melee weapon and a primary weapon seamlessly (once they get the bugs worked out) and you can fish for food...

 

 

Sounds like it'll be awesome once they get everything smoothed out a bit.

[-Se7eN- 874]

1.8 is not out no.

 

it has simply been given to 2 communities.

It seems to me the mod is continually getting worse and worse

 

My anus is quite prepared for all the fanboys on the bandwagon to come charging in 

[-Se7eN- 874]

its actually quite good... i dont really understand what your talking about dealer.

[Death_Dealer 3155]

It was my opinion, you don't have to agree with it

 

just please don't tell me I'm a "pussy who can't play the game cus its too hard !!! ! 1 !11" (as many other people have said)

[DemonGroover 8836]

if you don't clean the wound, you get infected and loose 1 blood/sec

 

I don't see how this can be viewed as being much worse.  Now you actually have a chance clean the wound before infection takes hold, while before infection was instant.

[dgeesio 1034]

some things are way over the top

 

do like how we can spawn where we want inventory pretty sweet

zombies are stupidly over the top. ten feet away instant smash knocked over or hit every time. the amount of zombies that are in builldings straight after a shot or instantly too much.

 

people are saying we trying to make it realistic then make like cartoon outlines on stuff looks more consoley. so have a tweak especially on zombies.

 

if you like playing for quick fun yes if you after a more realistic approach the patch probably took a step backwards.

Geez, Learn2Melee.

 

I haven't played long enough to know how it "used" to be.  But I melee zeds all the time.  The hatchet is so OP.  I rarely get infected.

 

Antibiotics are a bit too rare though IMO.

The zombies are better then they were 12 months ago, they have some new bugs but whats new. rockets team has pushed this mod to its limits and they keep finding a way to stabilize it. So zombies have 10 foot arms at the moment, could be a anim glitch or it could be a pathing error but zombies due seem less twitchy and zig zag like. New infection is more realistic and it works better the antiseptic wipes are awsome.

 

But i take my dayz mod with a grain of salt anymore. too many people play on recruit settings and whine when it gets difficult. you want to see a rabid zombie set ai precision and accuracy to 1 in the cfg and then turn ultra ai on and walk down a street in daylight. other than that and the fact too many people use crosshairs,map icons, and tracers on there servers. But those are my personal beliefs on this when i got arma 2 back in 2009 i started it up on max diff and never looked back so playing on other dayz servers is a bit alien for me due to the features that annoy me

 

All i can say is in the end i would rather have more challenge because in this game end game is just wandering around killing stuff or seeing how many different ways you can kill things inclusive of your self and then how you might live when you get to that point of death.

Melee is easy, however the answer isn't infection, all that happens is you risk the chance of getting infected and then you might as well suicide off a building. It's a boring mechanic that has ruined so many gameplay sessions with friends, maybe that's why they've let you spawn where you want now but that just causes new problems. 

 

Just get rid of infection, it's a crap mechanic or at least make antibiotics less rare as in real life they're so common.

Man, you must accept it. Infection is here for good. It won't leave.

I suggest you to play Dayzero. I promiss you won't get infected there ;)

If you run past, the Z's will take 2 steps and hit, they do not have 10 foot arms, although I understand where the confusion comes from, I asked the same question when the function was implemented.
