I haven't played for some time now but looking forward to checking out the patch with my community, thanks for your continued work!

I just updated and logged in with 1.17 only to find that I am starting off like a new player.  All of my loot is gone.

Is that what "Wiping" the server means?  I thought it meant that anything stashed would be gone, not starting everyone off as a fresh spawn!

Please tell me I'm wrong....

This is what wiping is. All basebuilding components, characters, vehicles etc. are resetted.

you are incorrect. everything on the server is wiped/reset, including players. bases, stashes, loot on the ground, etc. everyone starts as a fresh spawn.

[William Sternritter 449]

Thank you for the head tracking fix as well 🙂

[eZthetic 22]

Any1 else noticing loot is spawning all in pristine after the 1.17 patch? Spawnabletypes.cfg still starts like that but everything spawns pristine.

When i launch the game i cant connect to the server i want to play am i missing something?

[a_cajuns_wife 0]

I'm not the only one but this is going across different maps we are getting this error and wondering if the code was written wrong it just seems odd because the maps are random

scripts/4_World/entities\firearms\weapon_base.c(571): Variable 'weaponType' is private

[boggle 51]

Cooking vessels becoming ruined after 26min, and with no option to maintain or repair; is absolutely fucking stupid. Oh and the gas stove takes 4x as long to cook stuff so using camping gas stoves is pointless since after a couple uses your cookware will be destroyed. These devs never cease to amaze me. 

 

(checkout wobo video, he covers this) 

 

I'm convinced that they're trying to make it so unrealistically difficult, to drive people away so they can discontinue official servers and/or development.

Especially since cooking vessels can be used rough for fricking decades irl without ever getting damaged. And they dared say they get damaged slowly in the announcement. "Slowly" would mean over weeks. In less than an hour I would define as "rapidly"... My dad has an old pot and a kettle he's been using over open fire when camping for 60 years, the only "damage" they show is soot - they're so black they absorb light. But still pristine condition.

Damaged cooking equipment is simply a bad idea - they should instead implement a stat they they get dirty after use and will have an increasing risk of making you sick if you use them again without cleaning. That would have some form of real life connection.

The only thing this change does is cement the direct cooking slots as the only viable method of cooking.

This hits the nail on the head.

I already never pick up gas stoves or pots/pans because they weigh you down and take up space, you can just go in a house and use the direct slots for the rare occasion you cook something.

The ONE use i have for pots and pans is rolepalying to be some chef with a kitchen on the coast, to either feed the freshies or alternatively cook as many freshies I can, having proper pots in the kitchen would make it funnier.

I can imagine doing this for a few hours, after an hour my pot will just be ruined and thrown away, no more kitchen aesthetic for people to enjoy = more boring game.

I won't go from town to town looking for a new one, thats boring and my kitchen would get raided. I'll just cook the (food for the) freshies on the fire directly instead.

Three Questions for new mechanics: Fun? Authentic? Realistic? If the answers are all no it should not be added.

[Kathosky 119]

Some people already wrote it when in experimental phase and more people say it here. So I think, as well, that kitchen pots getting damaged seems a completely unnecessary change. And you said "slowly" in the patch notes. Neither slowly. I would make them not take damage at all, does not add anything, probably it subtracts time from other interesting stuff in the game.

Maybe this makes sense with a plan the devs have for us in the future, but I think it is going to be difficult to nail it, and anyway, it would still be an unnecessary change in the actual current patch.

 

Edit: a word.

LONG REVIEW:

Spoiler

 

Awesome update. SO much content and attention to detail!

-Guns: I love that we get THREE cool nostalgia guns! The CR was in the original mod 10 years ago 😀. The next gun addition would be even better if its a new type of weapon. (CrossBow, LMG, Grenade/Rocketlauncher)

-The mummy and the flaming broom are really crazy but have proper uses, two perfect features. They tie into existing features like cut hands and feet, illuminating dark spaces, staying warm, sneaking AND  character customization. Ontop of that you can dress up as a mummy and chase people with a flaming broom which i absolutely love and have done as soon as i could.

-Melee: The craftable knife and spear tie nicely into the existing crafting system. The spear gives us a cool new weapon type. The tenderizer, pitchfiork and cleaver are very nice for roleplay and diversifying the pool of weapons. I love seeing crazy melee fights with funny weapons. It would be cool if spear weapons get fleshed out some more, I see some potential. We could have the rumoured sneak attack animation, a unique block animation, animations for really close enemies like the handle-strike with the hoe and axe. The ability to attach ALL knifes to an improvised spear (please borrow this from PZ like the other features 😄 )

Kitchen Timer: This is something people like to complain about. Fairly useless and uninteresting gameplay wise. "We want helicopters but they choose to work on an alarm clock". I do love these kinds of crazy features though since they let you create crazy player interactions. Tying people up and holding the loud as hell alarm next to their ear or saying "you have 60 seconds to live" as you crank the alarm up and watch them as it ticks down.

New "point of interest": When I heard "Point of interest added" i expected something interesting xD. Something that doesn't already exist 6 times in chernarus, maybe a new asset. The crashed ship for example is a POI, it looks cool and apocalyptic, has good loot and is full of human melting gas. On the other hand you have: a generic tiny castle with a tent. Yes I know it spawns a crazy helmet.

Attention to detail, cookware: I love how attention to detail is kept in mind. All the improvised items in this patch are awesome, the flaming broom stands up when you drop it on grass but not on a paved road! The degrading cookware is an atrocity in my mind. Is it fun? No it is irritating and hinders interesting gameplay. Is it authentic? Not at all. Is it realistic? Many people on the forums have said that their pots last for decades. This mechanic should be removed.

Fixes and Quality of life: This is the cherry on top! I did notice some new annoying glitches though when i started the game that were not in experimental xD. Eye zoom resetting, hands got glitched and I had to relog, died because of this and had to wait in the queue.

Summary: Very good update I very much like. No helis, rocketlaunchers or bikes, but A wave of new content, big attention to detail, nostalgia factor, big gameplay improvements and diversification, customization and quality of life improvements (gameplay). 8/10 -IGN.

Same here. I absolutely get that the wooden improvised cooking gear decays, but this makes no sense. It's the same argument as quality boots. For some reason they get damaged in time frame that translates to days of use. DayZ does not need this type of grind.

I just found some pink running shoes. They went to badly damaged in under an hour. It is not possible to dress up in funny outfits because of this unless you collect a dozen leather sewing kits beforehand which you will need to carry in a huge backpack that doesnt fit your outfit.

The hackers are back one day after the patch hit. I just saw some asian guy run backwards full speed saying "look at me michael jackson". Official server.

That's why you don't play on officials. That's nothing new and there was no battleye/anti-cheat update announced for 1.17 anyway.

maybe this is not the right game for you. What about Rust, or Scum? 😂

[arlingtine 27]

Out of curiosity, when u throw the spear does it throw point first as a spear and do damage on contact?  Just curious as i feel the mechanics for that would be very similar to that of the bow
