Private Evans 1303 Posted April 17, 2014 I was playing on a official stable branch server earlier today. Zombies now can follow you to the 2nd floor in several buildings (some kind of hotfix??), such as watchtower, jail house etc. But they will only follow you to the 2nd floor if they are too close otherwise they will stay down there. I don't know if anyone else have noticed that. yap confirmed ...happened to me as well but on experimental ... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JJ_ 5 Posted April 17, 2014 I don't like this experimental ...Zombies don't run anymore,Take Ages to kill zombies (also with fireaxe) it is really boring (aye not challenging only boring) now,They didn't do critical damage (or at least not so often like the stable),Nerf to run of players (really necessary?)New loot spawn (not really needed)I hope that all will go back to last stable and this experimental will not become the new stable :( What a nonsense...I agree with Evans here.For some reason, in addition to people not getting that the game's in alfa, is that experimental is like the alfa of the alfa. It's in the damn name. The branch is for experiments :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ibherb 38 Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) Ok, For those making bows, what sticks are you using? Only sticks I find in game are the ones for making splints. Never seen the "Ash stick" or whatever it is called. Just threw my lantern lol nice, gonna practice more throwing when daylight comes :) Edited April 17, 2014 by just4me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joe_mcentire 2074 Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) ok now i am stuck on Please Wait apparently, again one of the two german hardcore servers..yep stuck on please wait (de-02) the other one (se-02) works perfectly fine (except for constant lagging and freezing)...hm indeed weird things happen to my todayedited Edited April 17, 2014 by joe_mcentire Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joe_mcentire 2074 Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) i am pretty sure someone already suggested this but can we have a different more blueish overlay instead of greyish-white for these distant landscapes? or do we already have seasons in experimental :o! for reference: http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/215ak9/suggestion_change_the_color_of_the_distance_fog/ Edited April 17, 2014 by joe_mcentire Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ken Bean 175 Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) What a nonsense...main goal atm ist testing new mouse controls, accelerating time, guaranteed messaging and physics. Of course there is a lot to improve ( especially regarding throwing) but this patch is a huge step forward and really improves the game ! Loot spawns are not new but only have been fixed ...this is on stable already. Zombies are beeing worked on by the new team and I guess they will tweak and test a lot through the coming weeks and months....during the first accelerating time tests there were no zombies at all on the experimental servers.... So does that mean they really are going to accelerate the time? :-/ i am pretty sure someone already suggested this but can we have a different more blueish overlay instead of greyish-white for these distant landscapes? or do we already have seasons in experimental :o! for reference: http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/215ak9/suggestion_change_the_color_of_the_distance_fog/ Looks like a LOD / texture "issue". Probably a typical alpha feature, since the lod usually is not generated in the very first place, because changes will still be made and so on anyway.

Though I live north so that's why that color may look very weird to me because I haven't ever seen that lilac sunset/sunrise. More like red or yellow or green/turqoise is what I see and like.

blindwuzi 37 Posted April 17, 2014 Yeah I can play at night knowing it's not going to be night for more than an hour. To add to that thought I wonder if the feature will be extensive enough to allow time acceleration at different hours without having to restart the server or whatever. For example - 2x speed during the day and 5x speed at night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DropBearChick 1217 Posted April 18, 2014 Yea, its been 25 mins since night started and its already 3 in the morning, also playing on hardcore, AU/NZ accel time, the one thats the latest in the day if anyone wants to join. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haknslash 763 Posted April 18, 2014 Just tried out this experimental and I'm liking it so far minus the zombies not dying. But it ran real smooth in cherno with 25 players on the server and there were about 5 of us around each other. The 1:1 mouse is very nice! No more refrigerator on the back feeling when looking around :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DropBearChick 1217 Posted April 18, 2014 Yeah, time accel is nice, the mouse movement is great, throwing stuff is cool, but zombies are a no no, they should be made weaker not tougher, well maybe except the army ones, maybe they should be tough but not the civvy ones. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
