Experimental Branch: 0.49 Discussion

[Tatanko 5591]

Ok, that might very well be. I just never noticed it before I traveled up there and stumbled across it.  :) And you´re completely right, there is no way to tell yet, if Tisy has anything to do with "moving balota military camp further inland". But my understanding was, that this map pretty much shows the final version of what the devs are planing in regards to country-side. And since I just wasn´t able to find any other changes to the map that might indicate "new" military buildings, I just jumped to that conclusion... Perhaps I missed something on the map, perhaps I´m over-interpreting, who knows.

Perhaps the desperate waiting for the update/fix for experimental just makes me see things...   :huh:  ;)

I spent a good 20 minutes staring at that map yesterday haha. The real news that I haven't seen anybody talk about yet: the return of Pobeda Dam! How can I be the only person that noticed it tucked away near Svetlo on the dev map?!  :lol:

 

In total, here are all the things I was able to take away from the map:

-Pobeda Dam re-added near Svetlo

-Balota military camp removed, Pavlovo military base (maybe?) removed, Tisy military base added

-Three more towns/cities were marked: Novaya Petrovka, Stary Yar, and Belaya Polana (which I pointed out a while back thanks to a road sign in Turovo)

-A "mine" was marked next to Kamensk in what is currently a small open field

-The following mountains/terrain features were given names: Misty Peak, Lysina, Skalka, Black Rocks, Grozovye Doly, Khrebet, Klin, Lysaya Gora

-The three towns surrounding Chernogorsk have had some name changes (thanks for the reminder Ebrim!)

Btw, somethings happening in the Depot-History that WhiteZero referred to!

 

 

Looks very similar to what happened shortly before they pushed the last update... :thumbsup:

(hopefully not jumping to wrong conclusions again  ;) )

Yes, there can be several "experimentalprep" Depot updates before the actual experimental Depot gets updated and pushed to players.

[GriefSlicer (DayZ) 84]

As of right now? No.

By the time it hits stable? Yes.

excellent! At least the developers understand the concept of making the game harder to gear up in  :beans:

[Haviland 58]

Since you obviously know your Chernarus way better than me (pobeda dam? was it on the map earlier and was removed, or do you refer to the mod?), what did you make out of these few violet dots across the northern corridor? Near said pobeda dam f.e., but also near the "mine" and in novo, svetlo, severo and petro. Any idea what they might mean?

Come on update let's do this !!! I've been watching a hobbit marathon (1&2) waiting for this patch all morning ... I hope I don't get further than lord of the rings fellowship of the ring cuz that'll be about 9 hrs of patch waiting ! Lol I'm so impatient !

[Demonica 311]

The Hobbit is one thing, I've watched 11 complete seasons of Family Guy, and now I have nothing to do with myself waiting for the next update :-(

The waiting isn't the hard part, it's how to wait that breaks me. :D

 

But we can see they are working on it! Yay! Hang in there, folks!

[d0pesen 17]

I like to think I know the map pretty well!  :P

 

My only guess with the purple dots would be this: water pumps. Notice how there aren't very many in the north where the expansion has occurred? They managed to include a few with Novodmitrovsk, but it's almost like they forgot with most of the rest of them. I very much doubt that I'm right, but it's the only conclusion I can draw based on where they are. My theory loses a little bit of credibility when you look just above Rify and see two of the same purple dots together next to the main road. I'm definitely not going to say spawn points, because again it makes no sense for them to be together like that, but more importantly because they've already stated that the chain of spawn points will begin at Novodmitrovsk and make its way east, then south, then west along the coast to Chernogorsk.

I watching The Walking Dead all over again, the new season is coming out soon, and that always puts me in the mood for some DayZ.  :D

 

Sadly.. isn't exactly a long series, doesn't takes that long to watch the full thing. :(

Will it hit stable tonight if the push to exp works good tonight?

Yep , officially running out of things to do lol ... Maybe I'll play stable for a bit but I don't wanna gear up again :/

You're gonna have to gear up again anyway. At some point you'll always have to gear up again, and it's not getting any easier, so do it while you have the time and energy, so you can focus your efforts on actual game play.

:P

 

I apologize for the double post, I'm not quite awake yet.

I'd very much doubt it, earliest I'd say would be tomorrow, probably Monday though.

[Tatanko 5591]

Doubtful. There seems to be a rush just to get the intended Exp. build out today, let alone the more time-consuming process of putting out a stable. 0.49 just isn't ready for primetime yet.

Agreed. I wish I could gear up my experimental character right now so that he would be ready for later, but obviously that's difficult to do with the current build and he will also be wiped with the update probably. Can't win.

I've resorted to watching "Under The Dome"....... God damn it's cheesy, please hurry with the update :)

We could not even test second experimental patch. We all still waiting for experimental fix-patch since "AM". >:(

Why do you think the residential districts around Cherno have bright red names? Are they getting deleted? :(

I think you are right. They look like good places for pumps other then the double one by Rify.

[Exorade 214]

I won't bore you guys with details on version # protection - Eugen and the programmers are working on a build from today with some additional bugs squashed - but if that can't be prepped in time for a good smoke/regression testing

 

Kinda starts looking like it can't be prepped in time for a good smoke/regression testing so how about release the patch you were supposed to release yesterday so people can at least play?

[Tatanko 5591]

Oh, I meant to comment on that as well. I am VERY curious to see what they do with those. I noticed that 2 of the 3 actually changed names (one is just an alternate spelling) which gives me hope that they are staying. Why rename something you're getting ready to remove, right? The names on the map don't quite line up with where the existing three areas are, but that could just be where they decided to put the text on that particular map.

 

Perhaps we'll see them shifted a bit to coincide with the de-militarization of Balota?

It's the best theory I have. We'll see! :)

No,no... no hurry, we are testing their stuff, i rather "test" what needs to be tested..you can always play Stable for a good gaming season.
