Exp Update 0.61.136700

[Hicks_206 (DayZ) 4297]

ANOTHER ONE? ANOTHER ONE! Lets see what we're looking at for this one:

- Adjustment of Arrow/Bolt damage output
- Fix for one method of stuck handslot
- Additional fix for desync'd view of other players equipment
- Adjustment to Infected FOV and Alert (Ongoing - not where we'd like it yet)
- Adjusted player spawns
- Added Coyote pack to loot spawns

We'll have some of the servers with persistence off for some back end testing we're doing, and we'll be messing with AI population for the purposes of profiling. Other than that, not too much different with this build.

As always, when a build is on Exp/Unstable it is there for testing - so the aim is to find out if these changes were effective. Please file tickets on any issues you find at feedback.dayz.com.
Expect character wipes for every exp update moving forward folks!

We're still working on improving server performance, which when poor can cause the following issues:

- Infected reaction speed may be reduced
- Character modifiers/status can become stuck or not update properly
- Infected can push characters through/into model geometry causing movement issues (unable to move in a given direction)
- Collision/Navigation in some complex structures can push your character around
- Issues with door states can occur
- Damage being delayed

Other issues include but are not limited to:

- Infected vocal sounds being too quiet
- Infected alert state is very reduced - Aggro range / etc reduced
- Infected response to firearm types is uniform (aka suppressed weapons do not have the proper impact on them)
- Infected can push characters through/into model geometry
- VOIP volume too loud

good old alice pack....i love it

[sneakydude 480]

On my Pilgrimage run to Castle Black, i forgot to include.

2000+ Meters, i ran it a very long way and the infected kept up. I like how some attack, some don't but it is reducing a ton of desyncing i have noticed.

And so my search begins.

Ooooh cool fam! Excited to go find an ALICE pack :D 

@Hicks_206 (DayZ), not sure if this a pressing fix for you guys, but I know a lot of us would like to know. Will the fruit trees spam bug be fixed in .61? I don't think I have to say how much more survival the game would be without those infinite resources.

[Masprotech 37]

You guys are on it with these updates... Great game and Great fun this .61 run of updates have been the most challenging and fun so far for me..... Met up with a player just before the servers went down. For the life of me I cant remember his name.. Something Sultan... If anyone wants to team up and run the map together hit me up on steam... Masprotech on there too....

[The_Kaindl_AT 6]

Oh ALICE PACK! Can't wait to find it!

I hope the fix to the player spawns means a higher variation because I don't like it how it is atm just spawning between Cherno-Electro and at the beginning of svetlo :/

 

Had a very good experience yesterday playing on exp and had my first crash ever on 0.61 branch will report if game is still in mind to crash today! THANKS for this amazing update support on exp atm

ALICE isn't in this build - had a bit of confusion.

Coyote is, however.

Wolves and Coyotes confirmed.

i would say no, its helpfull to test without dying of starvation in 5 minutes.

later its enough time to balance those things

Oh yeah just let the zombie run near to you til he starts a attack animation and now you can run away and you will be faster than him :)

Adjustment of Arrow/Bolt damage output

Nice!  I saw a number of crossbows spawning last patch but I had a hard time finding bolts.  Hopefully we see some more of them this time around.  For science, of course.

[Masprotech 37]

Has the update been pushed to steam yet? Ive never been at home when the updates come in and wanted to check this build out before having to return to work.

I'm totally down if they have a fix for it when it hits Stable if they want to make things easy for Exp - I just want to see this done well and feel what its really like to be panicked for food haha

it is not sooo easy to fix this type of bug because it is related to the animation system and the player controller. Will highly likely be fixed in 0.62 when they add these new systems I think.

Your joke detector is on the Fritz Senor Hix-u.

I know this Coyotes not the barking type. ;)

It's this one, seen on my back here:

 

[sneakydude 480]

This might be a super awesome update. Bow, Crossbow damage? is the distance, aim any better? will we be able to craft all kinds of arrows, and bolts soonish.

I love having more AI :) especially coyote's

Brian Hicks said, coyote's and with his 5 million dollars in the bank the rumors are true. Soon we will have airplanes too.

Status Reports have been very clear that 0.62 is a cosmetic update to Chernarus.

I was going to report this post for misleading me. I thought we had trucks and bikes in the game.

WTF biohaze? hehe

ok than I forgot something to read but I think the part with the bug will only be fixed in combination when adding these new animation system is correct? isn't it?

YES! I knew you guys would come around and add the NWAF tents player spawns! Such a good addition to the game!
