Missing tents? 

There was no mention of map changes in the notes..

I have noticed at least 1 unmentioned UI change.

Hello gentlemen of Bohemia....IMPORTANT: The "barbed wires" placed on the lower part of the wall are easily destroyed with a large hammer in a few seconds...without hitting or damaging the lower wall....just aiming at the barbed wire, without hitting the wall...leaving this important element of extra protection for the base practically obsolete....in this case any player with a small ax and some whetstones can destroy any base... .since the whetstones give you the possibility that you no longer have to carry more tools to carry out the assault...leaving the base system practically obsolete 😞 .

From what I understand, from version 1.16 you can only remove the barbed wire from the inside and they were only destroyed when the lower wall was destroyed...if so, in the situation that is now "no" it is complying correctly with his mission.

From what it looks like, this is a horrendous balance change the way it is. I will accept the base builders crying, vocally, and that pushing a change. But twelve grenades for a single wall is beyond stupid. The "balance" really feels like it only takes into account people that put a single wall in a shed and call it a day, this would be fine. However, when you come across a base that fills an entire appartment block, even with 5 grenades to destroy, it would require tens of grenades, a figure probally around 50-60. Your changes does not account scaling, at all. If you have to say I need 40 grenades+plastic to get into a base, thats over the top.

6-7 grenades would seem fine and keep them happy, but the plastic needs to break wood, when the CLE kicks in it will be rare enough.

Can we give this a little more attention? Default controller button mapping cannot be removed anymore (on PC). Even worse, if you do reassign and hit "Apply", you will now have both existing and new controller button mapped to the same function. Still broken in latest Experimental from half a day ago. https://feedback.bistudio.com/T165528

Well after checking Wobo's video I gotta say it's a step in a right direction but maybe it was a bit overdone? Maybe this is just a temporary measure?

I understand metal sheets making wall more durable, but 12 grenades to access a wooden wall? That's a bit much...
I still don't get why you guys don't make grenades more rare instead of making them essentially useless for raiding, but then again maybe it's a temporary measure as I said.

I assume melee weapon raiding is now even a bigger waste of time? Apparently not, apparently this is only for explosives.
And hopefully you guys expand the basebuilding variety (doors, windows...) and limit fences from being built in small buildings.

But whatever, I don't build bases or raid bases so this doesn't affect me.

Edit: after  thinking it through, i think this is fine durability wise.

I love how after the first experimental patch 1.18 people said that it was pointless to build bases now, because there were so many ways to destroy them, and very quickly. Now people are unhappy that it takes a long time to blow up the base. I find it funny. I think that we need to find some intermediate solution between "12 grenades" and "1 plastic explosive and we're inside."

Grenades are meant to be thrown at each others head and not as a explosive to destroy walls. There weren't any proper explosives before and the grenades were the placeholders, I just assume that. I myself raided most bases with sledgehammer&co and that didn't change. The main change of this is the low effort raiding. If a group of three geared players are roaming around and they came across a base randomly they could just open it up right away quickly cause they carrying the raiding material on their vest all the time, without wasting any inventory slots.

Grenades have just the small right quantity of explosive to throw all the shrapnel at full velocity in all directions (don't need to explain why). Plastic explosive is the one meant to blow up, in this case, walls. Now that this is the "explosive update" it makes sense to put things in the way they make more sense. Melee or bullet damage against walls hasn't changed. I think all this is in a right state.

Note that I don't like bases, I have never built one and raided only a few. Still understand that there are people that like to have their base.

I am very excited about these changes. I think, and I'm just guessing here, that it'll create a new META for DayZ. I can see most bases being created in towns and players needing to finally use the wild for means of survival, like more fishing and hunting and horticulture. I am also excited about the prospect of using more creative ways to raid bases. Plus it'll create a new possibility of city states within the maps. Then of course you'll have people more focused on nomadic and raiding lifestyles... Then with longer prolonged player lives less people on the shores and the potential for more shore loot while teams are holed up in the N/W.  I think this creates a very interesting dynamic and an evolved play style to DayZ.

Alternatives being a Watchtower kit??? Or boosting using a vehicle? I think this argument is based on fear but they've added new explosives and even plastic you can now find at construction sites... a HUGE boost to even wanting to go to those locations now. Before, very often, I've just avoided going there unless I want planks or some tools and building materials. More people will go to those construction sites and now I'm going to have to worry about players being there.

@Lynn (DayZ) Could you please ask the devs to add the above functionality as another option. I hate playing with the HUD active, but some actions (crafting mostly) do require the widget so at times the functionality now removed would be a very good alternative. So something like this:

  1. Everything shown
  2. Hotbar hidden
  3. Hotbar and HUD hidden, but widgets shown
  4. Everything hidden
Pleasyplease?!?

Why is this "experimental"? You have zero problems releasing forced updates full of known bugs so why is a later fix for those very same bugs simply not forced through the instant it is made?

Because hotfix update can cause a lot of new different bugs, crashes, etc. So this also will take time to release a hotfix for hotfix (in the exp).
