Pending Changelog: Experimental Branch: 0.42.116002

[MRArmageddonz 0]

Hey guys I not long ago posted a video on The Dayz mod, Here: http://youtu.be/_xuvoznjwDY 

I really enjoy playing it and all but I wanted to ask, to those who have it, is it worth getting the standalone yet? 

[Guest]

Hey there, ow shit yeah is that the same button i used to change too experimental ? fucking clown. yeah i'll wait till wendnesday like wednesday just gone oh wait no it was friday ? ow no wait it weasn't

It's just as simple as it is, if u wanna play move to stable - if u like testing and reporting stay at experimental - no reason to flame at an unfinished product - schedule get screwed by unexpected problems during development.

It's not like hitting a magicbutton and booom everything works.

Life ain't a bowl of cherries...

WOW... you actually buy into thier bullshit, isn't the change log from 0.42 less than 0.37 just asking ?

[Guest]

Ellen explained that pretty well:

...it's quite simple to understand that only because we don't see much difference between 0.37 and 0.42 doesn't mean there is none.

There are most likely dozens of changes that are currently inactive because they are not finished. For example physics, hunting, cooking and persistent storage mechanics.

Its not like they'll add all of those things once they've finished them, nope. They are already in this builds but unfinished or inactive due to other problems or bugs or whatever reason there might be.

Disappointing. I see alot of likelies and assumptions in that explanation

Edited March 8, 2014 by IBECKLEY

[Karakoz 141]

I suppose that getting wet has no consequences for now, right?

[IBECKLEY 1]

Someone actually went out their way to make that. Must be desperate.

[RagedDrew 209]

So played 0.42 for a few hours last night and the biggest problem I found was the lag, players rubber banding all over the place, doors taking ages to open, items taking ages to appear in my inventory, taking ages to either equipped or unequip an item/weapon. Other than the lag I didn't really find any bugs but then I didn't  have the chance to test any new items, (full pop servers have no loot lol)

If they didn't changed anything, experimentals should restart in a 4-hour cycle. For UK-servers they where restarting at 18:00 servertime, but that might changed. sb. infos on that?

Go away.

Your input here is of no worth.

[ispecter 55]

Ok this is frustrating, first you guys said .37 update was coming out Wednesday now it saterday and still nothing. It would be better if you didn't promos updates times that you cant make. So my question is when's the next stable branch update?

ETA to Stable: No current ETA, dependent on testing results

What do I have to do to play version 0.42 earlier? I try to connect to the servers and it tells me that I don't have the version. DayZ doesn't update itself to this version, and I can't find it for downloading. So yeah, how can I get it?

I was getting a bit of the same. Especially with items sometimes taking a while to switch from inventory to a container or container to hands, zeds rubber banding and icons taking a while to react on doors. Not sure if it was because of a full server or it needs more optimization. 

 

All in all, I do like the new stuff though. Pretty cool additions.

I can confirm that Amphibia S is a shitty weapon, and that even 4 shots in a zomb won't kill it.

[crimsonbzd 247]

I just hope melee is fixed before this hits stable.

[void_public 7]

I can confirm that Amphibia S is a shitty weapon, and that even 4 shots in a zomb won't kill it.

Amphibia is made for hunting, i do not expect it to be a weapon for fight scenarios. Also you might have lagged / missed, also it could be a bug as you play on experimental, don't forget this is a alpha's alpha.
