When will you be able to cook rice in your “wonderful” game? Or are you just pistols and will you add automatics? Is this really a game about “survival” and not military PvP? Why is construction in the game so garbage? Are you not going to change it either? Or do we need to wait another 10 years?

I agree with you on the rice not cooking and base building being absolute garbage and unchanged since it was implemented many years ago (yay fence, that can't be placed anywhere and watchtower, such base building 🙄), but I disagree on the weaponry, we're still missing over 20 individual weapons that were either here before renderer swap, or shown and promised to be added. You're in a war torn country with many military installments, have been for over a decade, there should be more, not less, your concern over it being "military over survival" has already been addressed with them removing what we had in DayZ Mod, firearms spawning fully kitted with magazines in the same spot, fully loaded to, bare firearm, usually no accessories, never a magazine to fit.

They should be returning all missing weapons (firearms, melee, and non-lethal) still gone, they should be addressing Base Building to at least bring up to par with their competition (Rust and Scum specifically, obviously with a "DayZ-esq look and method), and they should be addressing missing survival mechanics and "end game" features and content to improve the game other than just playing with sounds and melee damage that's been here and accustomed to for years...

Lastly, they do a MAX of 4 individual updates a year now because of laziness and many vacations (while Rust and Scum get at least monthly), out of those 4, 3 are "bug fixing and stability" focused, pushing never coming content and missing features to the back burner constantly, so IDK what you're talking about. No base building, no air or sea vehicles (we used to, competition does), tons of missing weapons, no end game content (Livonia has AT LEAST a bunker, Chernarus still doesn't even have Utes Island Military Compound like we were TOLD was added and would be in "the next patch" many years ago).... I don't know what in the world they're doing when it comes to giving us a better fleshed out game besides "loot, fight, die, repeat", but they sure do try to fix bugs and add different audio.

[Johnny Georgopoulos 10]

To this Halloween update just dropped like always, I dig that new goat... and I always dig that nighttime fog, but a few things that could improve them.

That special black goat with his glowing eyes should give chase to players, he doesn't need to attack....but that red gas....he could fart it out like miniature gas attacks, like a 5ft diameter red gas attack that dissipates really quickly, similar to when you kill him, he should fart a red poisonous cloud, you wait, skin him, and instead of regular raw steaks, he should give you baked steaks. Come on guys, think occasionally.

Another thing, the fog....do you not remember DayZ Mod and DayZ Origins Mod? We used to have fog that rolled in at night and stay low to the ground, super atmospheric and creepy....Arma 3 Survival Mod (A3S, a better recreation of DayZ Mod) did it the best.... the fog rolls in at night, but stays close to the low lying ground and inside valleys, you can visibly see it rolling down the valleys.... it's super sick and looks fantastic....why is this feature not in DayZ SA permanently?

Do you guys really need someone to come up with simple ideas for great additions to make this game better? I'm free (time), and I'm cheap.

Side note, your brooms aren't igniting on fire like usual either, so you might want to look into that and my above.

A new experimental 1.23 bug: Tanker Helmet takes too long to dry and some other items like "stab vest" when the item is in soak/wet state. It might be other items as well which I did not mentioned which should be looked at since rain is very common in Dayz, and you use more energy in the wet status.

I believe this is intentional, they already changed this 2-3 patches ago.

 

One bug that I found is that the green variant of the new OKZK cap is displayed as the beige version. It looks green when on the ground, in my hands, or in my inventory. But when I actually wear it it's beige.

There is a great in depth video regarding heat sources and clothes drying made by WOBO, in general it takes much longer now:

I had this a few times on exp. After I'd say 4 or 5 times finding the green OKZK cap it just corrected itself and actually showed me I had the green one on instead of beige.

After playing this patch for a good couple weeks now i got to say it's pretty solid. The sky looks beautiful especially at night. The NWAF is a solid redesign and has plenty of loot. i was able to use the push mechanic to get out of a couple of different situations though often cars still feel like they spin out a little too easily. The DMR is a great throwback to a fan favorite and sounds beefy. Exp servers are still holding players which has been rare in the past.

This leads to a concern that has been a issue consistently in the past. Hackers. Specifically on official. I feel when the patch drops there will naturally be a large influx of players many of whom will go straight into official to play with the new stuff. This experience is often soured the second you get mass killed with the rest of the server from one guy with poor social skills. Obviously playing a community server helps alleviate the issue, but is that the solution you want for you game? Battle eye is okay for what it is but really it is not adequate. Many other developers have been looking at different ways to minimize the issue to an acceptable degree using everything from community reporting, kernel based AC,  multiple AC programs working in conjunction, or straight developing their own in house AC. My question is what is Bohemia's plans going forward?

Looking at Reforger's development over the year and the idea of a basis for Arma 4 and reasonably a DayZ sequel/evolution, I question where AC falls in that plan? What short term solutions are the devs looking at? What long term solutions are they looking at?

This leads to a much bigger question of what the future of DayZ is, but i won't digress into that... yet.

Hey, any news regarding https://forums.dayz.com/topic/257674-experimental-update-123-change-log/?page=2&tab=comments#comment-2489901 ?

[DrzZzZt 10]

Hi,  I saw people complaining in this thread about the "new gas zone exclusivity" of high tier rifles - I cannot confirm that, seems like I hit an exeption or so it seems:

Got a DMR, a FAL and an AUR-A1 fom one military convoy in Kumyrna the other day, which is only a tier II area.

So if FAL/DMR spawn there, they should also spawn at helis and military trains, maybe even the new military crates at NWAF, no? So I cannot follow the complaining, these rifles should be rare after all but as of now are not limited to gas zones.

I don´t know how to check the loot table of those heli/convoy/crate events, can anybody confirm this?

Otherwise:

- the new skybox is beautiful , adds some much needed atmosphere, thank you!

- the "pushing the car" feature is a clever "in theme-workaraound" for stuck cars, but for cars flipped on the roof it should not work, at least not for a single player alone. When flipped on top, you should need more people (or another car for example) to flip it on the wheels again. But anyway, better a workaround than the former hassle with car doors an such, so thank you, i guess....

- the new headgear has some toxic resistance according to the patchnotes - but unclear what exactly that means - Are cuts less or slower appearing while in gas zones? Can you elaborate if it´s gas-tight or works like or close to nbc hood?

- very happy you people STILL put in the continuous work in my favourite game! I don´t play much these days, so its super cool to find something new has happened every time. Thank you all a lot!

It means you get less frequent chemical burns in gas zones. I haven't checked the exact number, but I assume it's the same as on firefighter clothes, wellies and surgical gloves.

When you replace one proper NBC piece with these items, you'll get slightly less cuts. But with two or more substitutes, the difference to regular clothes becomes practically nonexistent.

hi, there are several bug tickets about gps on ps4 section.

i can provide a workaround fix on ps5/ps4 (but my friends with mouse and keyboards still have problem)

i turn on gps, blank screen and no coordinates (this bug seem to happen in daytime no in nightime), so i have to:

push l1 two times to enter zoom mode, then first person view, then crouch, then i can use gps and see coordinates

Thanks for the feedback, and sorry for the late response, but since DayZ no longer works with W7x64 I haven't been playing it anymore. I'll try to set up an HD specifically with W10 (which I despise) just to go back to playing DayZ... I don't know when I'll be able to do it yet, but I definitely will because... unfortunately... I already miss DayZ... 😧
