Haven't played in 6 months.

Hear buzz about new Exp update.

Log in to play.

Can't see any servers to play on.

Log out.

See you in another 6 months DayZ.

Did you even bother to read the forums to see why the servers were down?

Glad you shared this with us. How could i even live without that information ....

 

Happy to be of help.

It's a mild expression of disappointment. What's the problem?

You may want to start keeping up with the forums because you would have found out that 0.6 is one of the best if not the best patch so far. Sure, it has it's problems but those are being worked on. Also, keeping up with the forums would also let you know why the servers may be down and what's causing the problem.

You might find it suits your interest in DayZ better, if you were to take a 6-day break, and then come back to see what's happening.  6 months is kind of  ...  extreme.

Tonyeh had mentioned that he or she had came back from a 6 month break and saw there was no servers (didn't bother to read forums to find out why) and decided he or she was going to be disappointed and disappear for another 6 months.

There is some bad pumpkin going around...bummer...bummer. Yesterday I was so excited about actually growing something in game ( because it has never happened in real life) that I ate some 'bad pumpkin'. It left a funny taste in my mouth, then a weird  taste, then I felt faint and light headed so obviously I had poisoned myself with 'bad pumpkin' and I felt the solution to that was to eat some 'good pumpkin', to kind of reverse the process.. Being now an accomplished pumpkin grower I set about growing a new batch. It was hard to tell when the pumpkin ripened because by then I was so nauseous that my screen was black and white. A big scare came when I thought a zombie had jumped on my back but it was just the sound of myself vomiting. I guess I didn't purge enough 'bad pumpkin' because I didn't feel any better after that,  though I was more alert for zombies. Eventually I raised a new crop and carefully this time ate only 'good pumpkin'. It made no difference and I realized I needed charcoal tabs or something so I left my zone of comfort and headed for the big city. I got there only to fall unconscious where I lay to this day. I know 0.60 isn't up but 0.59 is still fun so hang in there everyone!

This is a huge blow to the game, the dev's and the community!

Right about there if you got comfortable and grew and ate pumpkins maintaining the first stage of "stuffed" you would have probably lived.

Some of the WOBO videos on youtube are outdated and no longer accurate but I believe watching the ones on how sickness, blood, health, stomach works would help you.

Will the devs be in the office today? I'm asking because here in Germanistan we have some christian holiday and most people have a day off.

no PMs here, sorry. Just got that fat old ugly witch and she's doing pretty good imo.
The term in question here merely refers to the grade of malfeasance and unscrupulousness of our political class ;)

Thanks. I did seem to run out of resources rather quickly as I moved to the big city. Maybe should have hunkered down before hand. Oh well, die and learn.

lol not sure how why where when who and what, but I thought I give it a try and start up dayZ again - and guess what: after 5minutes looking at a black screen I suddenly spawned at the coast as freshspawn on UK-27...

dayz gods must love me :D

(edit)

That happened when I clicked on my inventory toon :)


(edit2)
oh and then my toon took a dive into the dirtroad and started swimming seconds before I got teleported into the water between Skalisty and the shore :)

well, in fact they had re-used previous builts the weekend before to let us play.

Since there are NO servers at all currently, they do not serve any testing purpose (unless they test community reactions to idle server capacity). Thus, there is no obvious point in NOT providing an old version on the servers as long as there is no testing at all going on. So I can partly understand where he is coming from, especially given that 0.59 is around for half a year already, so many people don't feel like reverting to a version they played to death already.

If servers would be off for updating or for testing a new version, that's another story. Just removing them without an apparent necessity is a thing I do not appreciate. Not making a fuss about it, but I can understand that some people are indeed left disappointed.

haha, well, that's part of experimental. I prefer that way over not playing at all. Nothing bad about some game breaking fun bug :P

No Problem, it means only one guy less spam hitting the enter button to get in when the servers are up again. But then again, if you really like to know why the servers are down, dare to ask.

While I haven't gotten into a server yet, this patch is still requiring a read-only setting on your cfg file to prevent the game from doubling your rendering resolution every time it launches.  Kept getting CTD issues on the third "connection failed" message, until I fixed the cfg.  Now it just hangs at the novo screen for minutes at a time, without esc. key being responsive.

Edit: kick to main menu after five minutes.  Next try, had max players once while 13 was displayed population. Next try hangs at Zelenogorsk screen for 5 minutes, then black screen for two minutes, then log into west of Elektro, by the hill hill, and only make it north to power lines near Pusta, before server "stops?"  I've never seen that server message before.
Trying again, and got the hanging Zelenogorsk screen this time, and I'm about three minutes in, we'll see how it goes. 

Back in southcentral, after six minutes at ZG screen and a very brief black "direct" screen of only two seconds.  We'll see how long it lasts...
Got a solid ten minutes of play, and I made it to Pusta. Didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, aside from bad luck on the apple trees.

No more logins for me, I gotta try to sleep for two or three hours before work, blah.

I'm a damned liar.  Saw an update queued of around 500K and decide to try again.  I was in the game within 5 seconds.  5 friggin' seconds y'all, GWIZZ!!
It's raining, and the lag is pretty bad.  It took me 30 seconds to pick up a kvass, and another minuter to drink it; receiving never went away, but I could take to hands, and when I eventually tried moving to backpack, the drinking started to happen.
When I finished drinking the soda out in a shed, it rubber-banded me back into the house where i got the soda, and now things seem to be more responsive.  Maybe server just needed to warm up?
Managed to find a damaged riders jacket, blue taloon bag, and a respirator, a prizzy frying pan ana worn pot, as well as a can of tuna.  The server went down after ten minutes again.  I think I'l call it a night,  For realsies, this time.

So I gave the new patch a whirl.

I'm getting the same result as last patch.  The same 3 servers as last time.

I had the Novo connection screen for about 4-5 minutes and this time I managed to get in.

Fresh spawned in Cherno and ran around a bit but I couldn't interact with anything, doors didn't have any "open" icon and I couldn't pick up the single item I found, a 1911.

Saw lots of players kicked in the notifications then I got kicked too, after a few minutes.

If I had to guess I'd say they're fine tuning the results of the last patch, the connection/queue/log-in thingy

Same here except for the CTD. It's strange that I wasn't getting them even though my renderer resolution was set higher than what my monitor can handle.

[koffeekage 322]

Well, there was 4 servers including "The Test" now there is only the test but it has people in it now. Fought an infected, it was really mean and fast, difficult to kill with a stone knife. i figure i played all of 2 minutes of the new patch.

[Nebulae3 422]

3 servers online some minutes ago - are they going to get the exp. branch server up this day?
