Scientific case and keys yep, indeed interesting. 

[JerseyD 13]

I don't know what you did, but experimental gunter drives much much better now somehow

[Murph Smash 6]

Question for the devs. I may have missed it, but will it be recommended to wipe when 1.26 goes live? I ask due to the changes in inventory slots of clothing and what will happen to items that exceed the new slot number on existing characters?

[Spam Mail182838 0]

Human meat should become edible, its not logical that you get kuru everytime, please look into it and consider it. It would save my ass alot of times lol

[Crankgorilla 9]

Can we get a straight answer on when this is coming out? I normally am not too concerned but since this one is doing a wipe, I feel I can't play the game until this is out. If I spend a weekend doing my thing and building a base, then it gets wiped on Monday - I just wasted my time. I want to play DayZ today, but what if the wipe is tomorrow? I don't see a date and your forum is twerking about something from May.

[Crankgorilla 9]

Downloaded the  DayZ Experimental server from the Xbox storefront. I'm living it already, 1.26 and they have Sydney servers.

I'm hoping if the slot capacity getting reduced causes issues which I believe it will you will change it back. I am not looking forward to this. Or you make items smaller at least.

[Judley 18]

Good work devs. Although Marks said you guys were looking at changing item sizes for things like nbc clothing, as with the inventory nerfs it doesnt become realistically feasible to carry a full nbc loadout. I assumed that would be in this update, i hope it doesnt delay the sakhal release. We're all eagerly awaiting a release date.

[Robbie M Saucier 1]

What about fixing sunglasses? They can't be worn with the shemagh since the last update.

[Devss 1]

Should really have some sort of teaming mechanic so you could add someone to a team and see them on your screen and see them on the map if they in community and possibly official

 

[ILikeDayZButiGotAJobhelp 2]

No that’s cheating you don’t see a friends ping through walls in real life dude just making it harder for the solo players 

[KozazB 0]

Livonia for free, map question why are you stealing from Xbox players again? New map, empty map, waste of words, no news, where mods are new, etc

[taro smith 0]

Hello, I've been trying to get help for some time about my game Dayz, I don't know if you can help me with this, but as I saw that you were online a short time ago, you decided to send a message right here (anyway, I was playing Dayz, I made friends within the game, but I distrusted him because I always knew where the other survivors were. The other day I was banned but I didn't know he was a hacker. How do I get unbanned?
