Correct me if I am wrong, but does this mean that all public servers will be persistent?

How long do we normally wait for patch notes of some kind?

[The Riddler (DayZ) 410]

Any news yet on if persistence is working better? Please not loot falls....please.......

[trev186 389]

Let's hope they actually fixed loot splosions and respawns otherwise mid way through the week the only gear on the server will be at the loot splosions

[robophant 102]

I'm whining about zeds being still too weak... come on, where is the challenge!!!

To anyone worried about the loot economy: my experiences on 0.55 Experimental the last few days have been just fine. Loot now spawns in more places as well (i.e. the new summer camps), and so do zombies.

Wait for all the server hopping. How many people are going to run 5km inland only to freeze to death in the rain because they searched town after town for a raincoat or matches only to come up empty. I give that 3 attempts before everyone and their brother just say to hell with it and hop until they find a server that hasnt been looted yet.

[Veyda 195]

Before everyone realizes what's up..  B)
 

Will trade pristine camo Mosin w/ pristine compensator and 2 boxes of ammo for any pristine semiauto pistol w/ mag and ammo. Also have pristine LRS if you have binocs.

Meet me in the Black Forest hut. PM for server details.

 

EDIT: Trade no longer available. Lost the whole set when I put the gun down and it glitched into the ground. :(

 

bet we'll see more of these ^ as people figure out that the Infected and melee don't mix any more.

No matter how long a server's been up, I've almost always managed to find a raincoat at wooden boats at the shore. Sure they might be bright yellow, but they work!  :D

Downloading the update... I made sure to gear up on some private servers beforehand. Seeing how the zombies were in experimental, a fire axe isn't gonna cut it anymore. I've got one character armed to the teeth, AKM + 3 normal mags + 2 drum mags, a sawn-off with a vest full of shells, and my trusty .357. 

 

BRING. IT. ONNNN.

[NewtoThis 20]

Great now I can't kill zombies with normal weapons in .55.  They punch like Tyson before I can even get one swing in.    I'm hiding in a shed now fearing for my life.

[wartzilla 182]

There are reports that tents are disappearing immediately after being deployed, just like on experimental.

 

I'm not going to even try deploying my military tent until this is debunked or there's a hotfix.

[TheBeanMan 22]

Holy crap, there are so many zombies everywhere. Couldn't leave the NWAF because there are so many :P

[Mullraugh 1151]

I guess you could say you're... New to this.

Welcome to Chernarus!

[kubas246 4]

I lost all my drums for AKM, my friend too. Devs deleted them from game or it's just a bug (like with attachments in previous update)?
