Why can't you decide when to respawn, because the fall damage in this game is ridiculous when your leg is broken, fix it.

I need to wait until I starve to death to re-start that's retarded, because of no zombies nearby to kill me.

• Question: A friend of mine can only play in the evening, does it mean he'll never see day light again in DayZ ? (or some servers allow you to play during the day?)

Yes.Working people in our timezone will never again be able to play in daylight. ;)

Is it just me or where the hell can I find some brief, point form notes on the current EXP status?

Except for you know... the 20 million daytime only stable servers. :rolleyes:

Pretty sure the day/night cycle will hit stable too, unless that changed for some reason.

but they haven't yet and I'm 100% sure that admins can keep them running as 24/7 daylight otherwise there will be an outrage

An experimental update never comes with official patchnotes. It's up to the community to hunt for new stuff and it's actually quite entertaining to do this. Reddit is the number one place to go for this. Check the link: http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/2m3qsy/november_exp_051_unofficial_changelog/

Sorry if my comments are reposts but I figure it's worth emphasizing.

 

I'm not sure when "hide body" was removed, but I think it may need to be brought back. Not to be a douche and hide bodies, but because if a person dies in a doorway, there's currently no way that I can find to get around them. I killed two people in a small room yesterday but then got locked in because their bodies layed over the doorway and I couldn't climb over them.

 

Vaulting is still hit or miss. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt.

 

I still have to press the hotkey like 22 times to bring out an item sometimes. Many times it works fine but I'd say it's 50/50.

 

I think the loot system is worse for this patch. I've been to large amount of buildings with nothing in them, and then I'll find the occasional building (maybe 1 per town) that is STOCKED. ALL THE FOOD. ALL THE CLOTHES. ALL THE AMMO. And a couple guns sometimes. Not sure what happened there but there are times where the left side of my inventory window is literally full and there's even more than I can see. Items on top of items so you can't actually interact with them.

 

A few friends and I have also noticed that picking up items or dropping them seems to desync or lag. I'll pick up an item several times before it actually goes to my inventory. Or I drop my bag, put it in the bag, then pick it up and it works. 

 

I don't know if it's just me, but when I "Eat/drink All", my character performs the animation, and then returns to a normal "ready" position, but the item is still in my hand, and not consumed. I've waited about 2min before hitting cancel current action. Once the animation is complete, I can run around and move, but the action menu only allows me to cancel current action, and the item is still in my hands unconsumed.

 

Other than that, it appears very stable. Zombies are performing the same (ninja eyes and ears even in the dark, or when you're a fresh spawn who hasn't moved yet). Player movement and mechanics seem fine. Just the same old shit. I appreciate the new features, but I'd also appreciate some more fixes. 

 

And one last thing, apparently the game considers the sledge hammer a sharp object? You can open canned food with it to very little yield lol. I haven't tried skinning anyone with it but that's probably something that should be looked at.

Am I the only one finding almost no pistols? All I find are P1s and Makarovs that I can't chamber.

I haven't found anything else yet either. But the other pistols are actually supposed to be rare. Though I haven't seen an amphibia? in forever

Think they are a helicopter crash spawn now...found a FNX and a amphibia mag today and no pistols.

I heard the FNX was moved to helo crashes, didn't know Amphibia was also. Found a CR75 mag too, so apparently those are still out there somewhere.

So when I first tried this new patch I though it was crap but when I played it was great. I experienced very few bugs. Loot seems to sometimes explode but its more controlled. I was able to kill someone and eat him(yes I cooked him). One thing I've noticed is there has been lack of zombies lately only 4 in novo. I also noticed well are working again and not all items are pristine. The best part about this update is cannibilsm it is weird but its gives a perspective of life and death or survival of the fittest.

found a magnum in nova but the ammo for it was very rare I only found a box of it other ammo as well is odd such as buckshot I only have two rounds in my izh right now. I think it was all taken in my opinion.only 22 and 380 auto were left.

I frequently find cr75s and their pistol magazines in those awesome brown log cabins with a second floor (has a tool shed always attached and it looks like there's a restaurant inside.)

Same. CR75's are about all I find now, and a clip for it once in a while if I'm lucky.

 

I'm not sure how difficult it is to find Longhorns now, but I really hope I don't lose my current one anytime soon because I'd rather not have to track another down. LOVE that gun.

These buildings are commercial hunting cabins.

This is a complicated one again, since internal build is ... well ... not working :-D So its a puzzle play.
