HMm really dont get it, they just didnt change any core mechanics? Why is there such a major step in version number. This version should be called 0.38.XXXXX.

Core mechanics and bugs should be adressed at a later date. I assume adding more items = more bugs, so why change bugs and core mechanics and THEN add items and do it all over again?

It would be nice to get some information about what happened now (because the update was promised 3h ago) and we did not get any update on the situation, the changelog just changes to version 0.42 without any specific reason or commentary, we want to be informed. I don't mind waiting a few more days or even weeks, but I was so looking forward to this update, so at least let us know whats happening

[fundan@gmx.de 82]

Try harder...

[McGarnagle 94]

I'm sure someone's already mentioned this, but if I had only one complaint about this entire process, it would be about adding the new patch notes to the old list of changes.

 

That doesn't help the people that actually play the experimental version, it actively confuses people making the switch from stable to experimental, and has no bearing on the "living document" that exists with the devs. STOP, please.

[So Sexy 259]

Look at the exp. server change log from the 25th of february, they have edited in stuff they added.

[thelonewarrior 886]

Yeah it was a bit of a silly move combining the new patch notes with the experiential post and renaming it, why not create new topic?

 

All it does is confuse people so they don't know what is going on

What a shitty update. I waited a while for this shit update.

 

You don't even give us any of the three hyped up upcoming features i.e Hunting, Physics or containers.

 

Instead we get a few guns and a nice black coat from Top Man.

 

This is a zombie apocalypse not fucking Russia's top model, Jesus Christ.

Changes from 0.37 to 0.42 by Neznamy

 

Dont understand why they dont call it 0.38 with this few changes.

This might be interesting:

What I have heard from trusted sources is that it was pushed back "a few days", so no update tonight. Sorry.

 

Spread the word. 

[ibluesmani 2]

Hmmm, were zombies already "modded" within 0.37?

 

I just played a little bit at NE airfield and up there I had to fight - really - a lot of zombies .

Also, one or two of them came down the hill (located north-east of the airfield) - w00t?!

It seemed that they were instantly spawning out of sight and directly heading for me.

Also they weren't able to slip through the surrounding fence.

The patch will be going stable in the next maintenance period (which is every Wednesday) as it is currently 8 PM on a Friday - and they still have two issues they need to squash which caused situations where players and zombies can become invisible to some clients. 

[Rancor 90]

No fix for broken loot spawns, so miltary tents still dont spawn loot ( issue is know at least 2 month i think ), most of the civilian houses dont spawn loot, garages dont spawn loot, half of the red bar building doesnn't spawn loot anymore.... no loot respawn in genreal, no real infos about it, they only say soon.... i really dont get it...

I know different people are working on different things... designers cant work on gamecode issues and so on... But why arent the programmers working on those issues? Really dont get... can someone explain ?

 

On Feb Rocket said on Twitter

 

@_SenChi__ just managed to fix why vehicle wrecks were not spawning loot! Awesome! #DayZDaily

 

So it is alredy fixed, why isn t it in experimental?

Thanks man, not only are the Dayz team useless at relaying information we now have to decipher the b*****d patchnotes to make sense of them.

 

The reason why they merged both patchnotes is clearly to make it look like they had done more work (or hide the lack of)  and not have people wondering what the hell the devs have been upto for the past few weeks.

Not every wednesday really though is it lets be honest.

[SmashT 10907]

Yes. DayZ (Stable branch) servers and hive go down every Wednesday, 0700 GMT for an expected 3 hour maintenance window. During this window, updates are rolled out to game servers, and critical maintenance is performed on the hive.

Holy shit. You have no fucking clue what Alpha is do you?

To play the alpha, which is FAR FROM THE FINISHED GAME!!!. You agree to help out, finding bugs, test the engine and such.

You ARE NOT suppose to bitch about things you would like to have in the game atm, as that ONLY WOULD APPLY TO THE FINISHED PRODUCT!

If you buy an alpha, which you are strongly advised against. Then blame yourself if you don't like it.

Now go into the alpha and do what you are suppose to, or shut up until the finished game arrives.

Yes, the experimental patch which was expected to be pushed to Stable today but didn't and now has a new ETA of next Wednesday.... it's relevant.
