Exp Update: 0.58 + Hot Fix.

[wasnu (DayZ) 392]

On the subject of wildlife, I've noticed that some animals don't stand properly on the terrain.  

The boar I hunted was submerged about half way in the ground until I shot him then appeared above ground again as he ran.

Below is a fox who seemed to walk on water as I followed him around

 

 

 

Jesus is reborn as fox  :o

More activity on steamdb, about an hour ago.

 

:ph34r:

Unfortunately it's for Stable. Not sure what they're cooking up (anti-cheat maybe?), but it isn't for Experimental and it isn't 0.58.

Jesus fox confirmed!

Are the experimental servers down for anyone else?

Really hope the cargo capacity of V3S is increased in the future.  It seems as if it should be far more than a tent.  As it is now, one tire or barrel and the thing is almost full.

I'm personally wondering what exactly the inventory of the V3S represents. With existing items and containers, it's easy to see where items would be kept (pockets, big storage bins, etc.). The V3S inventory doesn't seem to be representative of anything in particular though, it's just nondescript void space where you put stuff. I'm sure it's just a prototype for now though, so I won't waste too much time overthinking it.

Servers are back up!

[wasnu (DayZ) 392]

I wish we could blow up gas stations right now, too :( Or is that fixed in 0.58? I haven't tried.

Something is coming I think, if there is a wipe I hope it's total.

me too, but there is no change on steam experimental DB. 

we will see :rolleyes:

[FlimFlamm 509]

So there was an update earlier today and some "minor changes" were made...

 

Another change incoming y'all suspect?

[star-lord252 83]

Wonder if a new exp patch today its wedsnday,I went on for a little bit aftet I got killed by a guy and I got vybor spawn how lucky I've only had 3 ever. I got geared no guns and went to vybor mil base. I found a rifle with one ammo so I just took in case. I found a landmine so I was thinking of setting up a trap at vybor heli crash to kill some server hopers or other people. I watched for 10 min no one joined so I left and went to try that random clan server that popped up. If anyone got blown up by a landmine at a heli it was in the SNG server.

[FlimFlamm 509]

I'm going to try and find a barrel ASAP for testing.

 

Maybe they have been fixed *fingers crossed*

How do you add water to a barrel?

[FlimFlamm 509]

I have no sweet clue, I have tried a lot of methods...

 

Just tried to dye a leather hat black, consumed the nails and hat...

 

EDIT: it appears there is already a liquid in the barrel, around 98 litres... hopefully it's water? (green barrel)

No updates on SteamDB except internaldebug and productionprep, neither of which relate to us as players. Productionprep's update is in anticipation for tomorrow's announced Stable update that was *supposed* to be today during maintenance:

That makes me sad. Any clue which changes Eugene referenced in this tweet?

P.S how do you embed tweets like that? It simply won't work for me :(

I'm assuming he means tweaks on the server side of things. New configurations, changes to loot spawns, etc.

Are they going to make the rest of the weapons auto reload with the reload button instead of manually having to inventory and placing the rounds in? I see the longhorn does now but the blaze doesn't.

 

Also you can't load rounds without having to eject the current remaining rounds. For instance if you've shot 3 rounds out of the model 70, you can't load more in without having to eject what's left. ( Probably has been brought up before, doubt it's just an experimental issue. ) I know it's alpha and what not heh.

 

Random note, I'm sure many have seen it but there is a deer stand that is glitched into a rock cropping on the west side of Black Lake. You can manage to get up into the stand by rock climbing but some of the gear isn't lootable. You can climb down the ladder only to be stuck in the rocks but you can climb up.

Reloading by pressing the key binding means a fast reload. Fast reload can only be done with a magazine which makes sense. So my opinion will be no, this will stay as it is right now. However, putting bullets in a internal magazine when it's loaded might change over time, we have to wait and see for that.

By the way, reloading does not make sense at all to me at the moment. When you load a SKS with ammo it automatically has a stripper clip, even when you spawned 5 seconds ago. When did we get that stripper clip? It should load the ammo like a Mosin, one by one unless you have a stripper clip. Same goes for the Mosin i.e. When you have a clip, it needs to load a clip not the bullets one by one.

Yup, expect all of the above to change or be tweaked in builds to come.

 

A lot of how ammo is handled is simply a placeholder mechanic at this time.

 

In future builds we hope to see all guns handled in every way to be more authentic and reliant on how the gun functions.

 

Guns, magazines, clips, rounds, and attachments, will all randomly spawn together, or not.

 

Auto reload is mostly for guns that have a speed loader or extra mag as far as I know but I think single shot guns and chambering should have a quick option.

Well like I mentioned, the longhorn, I believe, will reload by pressing the key. The blaze is basically the same thing except a longer and an extra barrel heh. Simply having a key binding would make sense to simplify the whole process while not being unrealistic. 

 

To not have this would seem a little silly. I've noticed on experimental, you can load weapons on your shoulder or in your inventory without having to place it in your hands. 

 

Just observations. It's been a fun game either way .. I'm pretty new to it with about 100hrs or less in game time at the moment.

 

Thanks for the responses folks.
