SERVER MAINTENANCE is upon us! what will you do with yourself

I get disappointed when a patch doesn't come out each week, but not mad. This week, I'm mad. Please don't lie to us and tell us the patch is hitting stable early. Even if you thought it would and pulled it at the last second, don't tell us it's hitting. You never did before.

There are way to many bugs to be worked out right now from experimental before they patch it. Its best you be patient otherwise your going to be even more mad when you die from instant "Hypothermia" upon relogging.

Sigh. Nobody lied to you. Please show me the source where anyone with the team mentioned .49 was hitting STABLE build last week, last month or even this week.... You need to get over yourself with "being mad" and get a grip on how game development goes, or leave and come back when its in beta or actually released. Since you apparently don't partake in playing on the experimental servers let me tell you that it's certainly not ready to go to stable lol. The weather mechanic is bugged and often you will die within 5-10 mintues of spawning due to hypothermia even though you aren't cold, currently you can't die from starvation or dehydration so there is no reason to loot for food or drink, the zombies are standing still all across the map, etc etc. But hey, let's just push this out to stable so everyone can experience this right? SMH

I suggest you learn to read the Status Reports as those are the best indicators so what is going on with DayZ development and when to expect updates on experimental and stable build. This was just released http://dayz.com/blog/status-report-week-of-08-sept-14

"Focus for the development team over the last week has primarily been on resolving server and client crashes discovered during internal testing of 0.49. Rather than address the crashes with a potential hotfix after the update (given the impact of the associated central hive reset and the steps taken to address the more prevalent duplication and abuse methods) the choice was made to unlock the update from our regularly scheduled maintenance window of Wednesday and rapidly iterate upon experimental.

What does this mean for the average chernarusian survivor? We will be pushing rapid updates to experimental and iterating 0.49 until the build is in a state ready for stable branch. We believe this will only be a matter of a few days. When the build is ready for stable branch we will work with our game server partners to bring stable branch offline, and update steam."

^^Now that statement I can already see many of you reading into it thinking it reads as "stable will be updated within a few days". In reality what that is saying is stable won't be updated until .49 (in experimental) isn't suffering from the issues it has now and that they will be pushing rapid hotfixes to experimental and forgoing the internal testing to gather more data so that it can reach stable branch faster.

I'm fine with them not pushing it. I'm not cool with their hive wide message telling us it would hit stable last night then not delivering. 

 

And I mean honestly I'd rather die from instant weather/body temp effects than the rampant hacking that plagues this game right now. 

 

I can't play this game for a week now. Which would have been fine, IF THEY DIDN'T SPAM US THAT THEY WERE PUSHING IT.

i think the shit part is "over the past 2 weeks" everyone has killed their characters.

some people even made events out of it.

oh well.

 

im just sick of the current .048 build. tbh i think now that people didnt see the update roll on, they will just not play for another week. 

i mean. hackers everywhere right now. teleporting around like they own the show.
