The small number of people here on this thread represent a percentage sample .  So I count against  the wipe ? about 30%  30% of 60 k is a lot of players.  You assume all 60 k are for the wipe.  Again, Dayz should add an end game where geared players can opt out of the wipe . Several servers where there are no new player spawns . Where the threat of dying is greater, mpc attackers both Russian and  U.S. chopper attacks on player bases etc. If given the option? my guess is that number goes way up. 

That's some seriously wackamole logic you got there.  I'd laugh at you if I didn't think you were serious.  Stay off your XBOX or PC or whatever it is you are playing and take some time to relax.  you obviously need a break from gaming.

When you take time off from the Forums...you expect to see a little less outrage over the same old "concerns" and "issues" (as the player base gets used to the plus/minus nature of this particular game.

But alas.... there still seems to be a decent amount of folks who consider their individual gameplay preferences and specific grievances are somehow going to matter. Especially those who play on Vanilla Servers and do not take the time to find a Community Server that fits better in to their idea of how DayZ should be.

The thread from @Kingfisher5564udemonstrates that DayZ players are still unwilling to cut the Devs a break, here and there....

The history of development since the beginning of the Standalone has had its share of pain and suffering from the die-hard fans and people new to DayZ alike, and yet.... after these many years, as the title ages and the player base dwindles, there are still those that rise up in horror at just how unacceptable something as obvious (and necessary) as a Wipe is to them as "customers".

If DayZ truly appeals to you as an adventurer and as a game that ticks the boxes for your enjoyment then where along the line did you decide that your 30 dollars had become so much greater of an investment as to require a game studio to stop improving and tweaking the ever-evolving state of the player's in-game experience?

For every player that throws a fit and promises to "stop supporting" this game there are new players that finally can justify the purchase as it now has become a fuller and better fleshed out product.

The fact that SA managed to survive the first 5 years of EA, and has still not been shut down and forgotten by Bohemia (as much as they probably would like to) speaks to the appeal and to the marketability of this game more than any feature list or marketing ploys.... With the constant reminders about all of the major headaches and weird bugs/glitches/content/mechanics, DayZ SA is still very relevant to those that do the math and accept that everything can't be seamless and perfect in a game that started out as a poorly supported project, with minimal staff and nonsensical oversight, from a company that had other priorities and little internal interest in its success.... It still works. It serves as enough of a distraction from your real life, and provides enough enjoyment/immersion that there are very few other games currently out there that can surpass it in sheer depth and longevity.

Build 1.19 should be Build 56.16 by now....right...OK...got it.... Now go out there and enjoy the better inertial character movement and vehicle mechanics, and the other small items and map improvements, and Modding tools!

And....in 2014 and every year since..... Rule #1 is..... DON'T GET ATTACHED TO YOUR GEAR!

(Some of you oldies might remember me as @philbur....from back in the early days of fun and tears) I still play, host a server, acts as an Admin on another, and still, Love and Hate this game! Cheers!

OMG... you people who are against the wipe have NO idea why they do it and it makes you look dumb. The reality is they HAVE TO wipe whether they like it or not. The reason is because when they edit the game content, your character, which is off the server at the time of the update, has items and information on it that becomes part of the previous patch/update and is now outdated and can cause a crash on the servers. They wipe the game and characters to make the game FUNCTION PROPERLY FOR YOU. If you're so clingy with your items your playing the game wrong. This has been established for years now. You must get over your fear or losing your gear. That's just how it is. Period. Plain and simple. No way around it. You'll die one way or another and in the end end up as a new spawn on the coast needing to get it all over again, which is readily available. You need to learn to enjoy the journey. That's what it's about. Yes survive, but each new level of game play from New Spawn, to someone just entering the interior of the map or someone who's been to the farthest reaches and back has it's own and unique things you can do and try. use your imagination, meet some new people and/or die trying. That's it.

One thing... there have never been more players today then ever before or atleast for years now. The player base grows, not gets smaller.

1. I don't ever remember they were announcing time other than the day. As in previous it should be around 15:00 CEST tomorrow 18th.

2. In official servers, yes; full wipe, character and map. In community servers ask the admin but I would say most likely full wipe too.

3. Other maps you mean the other only official map, which is Chernarus, and there are no changes there apart from they added Humvee wrecks and some map object fixes.

[i kill people 2]

anyone know or speculate what time the servers will be back up after the update tomorrow?

Probably around CEST 12-16 pm, check the DayZ twitter tomorrow for more information. They'll probably announce it few hours in advance.

For all those who "love" the Wipe with the most varied "excuses".
I don't want to write long explanations, but I report what I replied in another forum to a player who, "in love" with the Wipes too, asked what you can do after you have equipped yourself a little. (simple mind).

 

Request:

Messaggio originale di xxxxxx:

What do you do when you have everything, hm? There's only so much you can do when you spend all of your time on one base. It's good for the player themselves to lose everything, because the game is more about the journey back there.

Reply:
"Survive" which is the "basic purpose" of the game!
You hunt, fish, explore new or off-the-beaten-path places, upgrade your equipment, build a base (if you don't already have one), upgrade/expand the base (if you already have one), look for a vehicle (if you don't have one), look for a better vehicle (if you already have one), go hunting for bears (it's dangerous), build yourself an "outpost" opposite the map where you built your Main Base... with all this you have already taken over a year of play, except if you are unemployed and have no family, friends or RL interests... then you may really take less time to do everything.
If this does NOT interest you... what the hell did you buy DayZ?!?
Do you just like killing other people?
Buy one of the many War FPS and play with them, they will surely be more suitable for your enjoyment!
And more generally:
What's the point of taking a War FPS game (ArmA2), creating a mod to survive the pandemic (the ArmA2 MOD), then making it all a standalone game (DayZ) to complain and want a War FPS to return ?!?
Stay in ArmA2! Or if you want an upgrade use ArmA3!
DayZ is NOT ArmA2/3 anymore!
GET OVER IT ! (This should be remembered especially to the programmers, for how DayZ is "derailing" patch after patch... )
You like to survive (hunting, fishing, loot, bases, exploration, etc) well: play DayZ!
Do you like to exterminate each other? well: play Battlefield, CoD, Arma2/3 etc!
It seems to me such an obvious and banal concept that I remember Mr. Lapalisse

 

I know it is not very "beautiful", but I can only self-quote. 😏

You can go, sad emoji, on all my: I agree with the wipes posts, but what you Just posted......

Has not much to do with loving or hating a wipe. I dont mind a wipe. Do I want one bad? No.

Console is not the only platform being updated... pc servers are also being updated and there are what, like 7 maps for pc?? So yes, those will be updated as well im sure... and they are adding the underground bunkers and keycard access doors to Livonia as well NOT JUST Humvees and fixes, as well as the new vehicle engine to name a couple other major changes...

I don't know where console is referenced in my answer... this thread is general for PC and consoles... and I am perfectly aware of it for my answer.

Those maps you mention, apart from the two obvious official ones, are modded. Today's update is an official one and this thread is about this official update. BI is not the author of those modded maps, they are made by modders and in their discords or whatever is where you'd want to ask what is going to be updated in those.

The question I am giving answer to was asking about other changes specific to the map other than Livonia, so the other official map is Chernarus, and the map changes specifically for it are the ones I wrote which are found in its changelog.

 

I don't want to sound harsh, but I don't figure a better way to tell you that I don't even know why I bothered answering because clearly you didn't read my answer or you don't understand some differences like for example between official and modded stuff of the game. By the way, there are many more modded maps than seven in PC. Maybe those are the ones most famous if that is what you mean.

You here that boys! KingFisher is done! More for the ones that understand the game and the whole point of it. The wipe was the best thing ever in my opinion. Sorry KingFisher, it's part of the game, and it will continue to make you work. I have a stack of bandage I can give you to dry up those tears.
