Just to say, the decision to run test servers for pending updates is smart. It is an Alpha and thus we are all testers, but it's one with a quarter mil people and every patch to date has broken something which could have been seen from a bit extra testing. So good job and keep it up Dev team!

This is so true.

In a former post I said you could tune a bit your realease lifecycle to have something like Debian ("stable", "testing" and "unstable" distributions). Except, Dayz is not stable yet, and we are all testing ! So these name would make no sense.

So this could be, for example, "GENERAL" and "LIMITED" releases. Only "LIMITED" releases with sufficient positive feedback would make it to "GENERAL".

It should be up to the server admin to have a "GENERAL" or "LIMITED" distribution server, but they should have to be clear about it (e.g. standard server tag : DEXX - LIMITED or USYY - GENERAL)

You could of course still have a couple of DEVTESTS servers with crazy stuff, such as zombies/items not de-spawning, etc !

In every testing community some people are willing to take more risks than others :)

I'm not saying you SHOULD/HAVE TO do this, but maybe you COULD :) Always up to you ! Keep up the good work anyway !

You won't get anything back, we're here testing out the alpha, you can worry about stuff like that after the full release. :)

I just tried this on UK7, Ghillie's are working again now, didn't lose my gear when I put one on, so that's a thumbs up!

Zed's have mega vision, they will now spot you even if you are stood still, must be the ray casting working properly - it's pretty cool to be honest :D I ran up to one from behind and it didn't agro.

Ghillie's are working again now, didn't lose my gear when I put one on, so that's a thumbs up!

Can anyone confirm this?

I've tried it a few minutes ago with my friend. First thing was, that when I've looked in some village with a binoculars, the zeds were just standig/sitting there, not moving at all. And than when we decided to go down there for some loot, we agroed few zombs at 20-30 meters while crawling. I dont know if this is to be fixed but if not it seems like a drastic change to increase the agro radius from 4-5 meters to 20-30.

actually I think in this case you get your stuff back when you roll back to the older versions. I don't think this test saves your status to the main hive. I could be wrong though...

[djshauny1 222]

ON MY WAY :)

[roybrown 128]

Can someone help me create a new topic?

Im trying to post my redesigned Inventory that I just made, and later I hope to somehow code it into the game, it uses a drop and drag system and is a thousand times easier to use.

I have made threads before, but now I cannot make threads, there is nothing that tells my why I cant make new threads or when I will be able to.

Please help.

I also cant seem to find a PM button on any of the moderators names.

Also no one responds to the support messages either.

I had a lot of the 'teleporting back' issues. I passed a particular building a number of times before being able to continue.

I got to a pond, drank a coke and went to go in to fill my empty water bottle. I was teleported back about 20 seconds, and after a few seconds, I made the 'coke drinking sound'.

I think that bugged my character or my gear, because I could not fill my water bottle after that, nor drink from the full one that I had.

On trying to disconnect to the lobby to attempt to re-log, the game crashed again. That's twice in a few hours of testing.

Same here, got rollbacked a couple of times

you'll wanna roll back to 1.7.2 (if you were using 1.7.2.1)

[zorg_dk 30]

Just played on SE3. No player lag, no loot spawning problems, alive zed count was around 870 running around in Cherno. I noticed crawlers didn't move, but they stood up and attacked when I got close. Some other zeds didn't move either.Cities drain a lot of fps, but that's not new I suppose.

Also, it was very quick to load in .

It was good to see sidechat enabled, I guess that's because it's a test build SE3 ran. Though, why not keep it enabled on some of the servers? (I'm gonna keep bitching about this lol). It's useful to communicate over long distances, and it can be amusing to watch it while running around in the wild.

Well although i just lost all my gear to try this new patch out i must say i don't mind, I knew what to expect.

As for DayZ, It just seems much more fluid ... Smooth & logging in is lightning quick BUT Just broke my leg :( Ended up in shock, In pain & bleeding just from stepping over a tank trap in a doorway. Luckily i was right near a hospital in Cherno so managed to crawl to get me 5 morphine, Took some pain killers and ate plenty of meat to restore the blood.

Pretty happy so far.
