Experimental Branch: 0.48 Discussion

[fluxley 2228]

 Experimental I end up just getting geared up enough to actually play when they wipe; Stable I am too geared to risk it!  :D

 

 

Kinda know how you feel, I still have a mosin with a bipod attached on stable.

[chodeofwar 145]

What is this shit? No hardcore servers with persistence? Are the devs slowly trying to close us out after the game was announced for PS4?

 

I'm assuming persistence is in/on since this is just the exp version on stable now.....

Wondering this too... i hope those will come at somepoint tonight.

The experimental first person servers i've been playing on had persistence.

 

And yes, i'm sure the PS4 announcement can and will be blamed for everything.

[chodeofwar 145]

How can you tell if the server has persistence or not?

 

I assumed all servers and clients running version will have persistence...

 

edit: I set up a tent on 3rdperson exp server and it lasted for a few dayz....why would they have persistence on 1st and not 3rd?

I love they way they pretend 3rd person is a console thing as if no fps has ever been on a console ever and it's some new invention that only the elite hardcore of dayz are capable of playing.

What do they do with the tones of pictures? I've never heard of this toning process before.

 

 

 

 

If Obrez was that easy to implement kinda makes me wonder why they still haven't made that sawn off blaze.

Well im not sure but i definitely know sometimes game developers will go to specific places for reference material when needed.

thats true

Yeah sorry, I forgot I moved from experimental to stable. :blush:

thank you dayZ for using my idea!!

http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/184492-idea-regarding-dayz/

my idea:
 

crafting arrows example:

1. you cut down a tree, it gives you 4 pieces of wood

2. you have a bayonet/hunting knife/kitchen knife

3. you drag the knife over the logs, to get the option 'turn into sticks'

4 once you have sticks, you can drag the knife over them to make sharp sticks/arrows

5. collect feathers/hair etc. to attach to the pointed stick

Changelog:

 

Crafting: You can sharpen wooden sticks

Crafting: You can combine sharpened sticks and feather to create a primitive arrow
Crafting: Preparing chicken will now also give you some chicken feathers

thank you very very much!! my contribution is completed :D
you're welcome Dayz Community

greetings,

All servers now should have persistent items, So anything you drop on the ground should remain after a server restart, stable and experimental.

 

Though there is a clean up that happens so it wont stay there forever.

 

Persistent storage (tents) is a different issue, they are stress testing the database still so only official servers hosted by bohemia will have these to start with.

 

 

During this weeks maintenance period, DayZ version 0.48 is being pushed to stable branch. Version 0.48 is primarily focused on addressing issues tied with global voice abuse, camera collision, item cleanup, and the introduction of persistent storage to official (DayZ dev hosted) stable branch servers. Additionally, an interim redesign of melee targeting was introduced in this version as mentioned in last weeks status report by Lead Designer Peter.

 

Persistent storage across all stable branch servers (including rented servers from GSPs) is targeted for version 0.49 at the end of August. The reasoning behind this tiered deployment of storage is as follows:

• Persistent storage is user data. This is valuable, and we need to treat lightly when dealing with so many users data.
• Increasing persistent storage server numbers by pushing this to only official hosted servers allows us to stress the system even more so than on experimental branch
• This ensures that communities focused around rented servers (clans, fansites, etc) do not risk losing their stored items during this stress test
• This also allows game server providers to deploy, and test their methods of protecting, and backing up persistent storage for each server in the event of server failure

So I haven't had a chance to play the last update and starting the game up there is a new update today (or certainly within the last 24 hours). Anyone got a change log?

[spartacusrex 88]

Damn, I don't want to risk either of my stable characters because they both have tents. I was really hoping for persistence on my clan's server today...

 

Guess its back to experimental.

[rickyriot 1009]

So I've not played in a while and playing today I was using my mic yet the player near me wasn't hearing my chat (lucky man.. ;)) so I dropped to side chat. I maybe swapped 2 or 3 lines of chat with them, then went rambling and bumped into someone else 5 minutes later and once more had to drop to chat. After several lines of dialogue I was kicked with the message "Kicked for abuse of the Global chat", yet I was using local (Direct) chat.

Have I just hit on a bug or has the sidechat been limited with kicks happening if you use it more than a couple of times.

[magafe 12]

Are you talking about DayZ Mod or DayZ Standalone?

[basinox 300]

This has been there for a little while already.

[rickyriot 1009]

Clearly SA as this is in the experimental section.

This has been there for a little while already.

Surely that is harsh, after all it's only a few lines and it was direct chat.

There was no feedback yet on that from the devside. After usin the global chat 8 times you gonna get kicked - i didn't get the deeper sense of that.

So if you fuck your mic, the game will punish you for communicating with other players? As I say, harsh.

[GoTDTruth 12]

can someone clarify. Stable .48 does have persistence but tents still don't work?

[Dudester100 448]

Does stable have heli crash sites now?

[solodude23 649]

Official servers have persistence (including tents) enabled. They are labeled with [persistence enabled]. The ones without this tag have no persistence. 

[WizzardsCuff 85]

It's easier to point out so that next time the person misspells something, they'll fix it.

Besides, it's "tons of shit" not "tonnes of shit".

Nice justification for being a wise-ass. Besides, there is such a thing as a tonne, shoulda stuck in at school ;)
