Wee I can't wait to die of an infection!

But I suppose you are omitting the zombie spawn problem of the 1.5.7? That's fixed right? It isn't in the changelog.

[BurstFire (DayZ) 1]

Whoa, what's this one about?

'* [FIXED] Should not be pellets for the Winny'

You're getting rid of pellets? If so, will they be replaced with Slugs? I've got quite a few pellets in my inventory.

[Caphoras 0]

Holy cow, a ton of new things added. I look forward to the update, however, just take your time. We'll wait for it.

[Timberwolf (DayZ) 118]

Will the zombie spawn rate be fixed? Rocket mentioned it on Friday it was getting fixed by this patch but the change is not in the notes he just posted.

[TheSlyFawkes 3]

Keep up the good work ROCKET!

[Zombie Squirrel 5]

Is there still concern about new build deployement and number of servers / players DDoSing them?

How about then an Iron Man special experiment, where if you die, you are dead - for at least a full day?

Meaning you cannot connect until the next day (say 24 hrs computed for each character to be fair, or a set datetime to be easy). Could be a nice experiment at least once. And, one effect, once most player population gets killed during the peak times (or doesn't connect because of fear), you would have nice mostly empty world to deploy the new build without the danger of everybody trying them out at the same time crashing everything.

And Rocket, imagine all the delicious tears ;-)

* [NEW] Temperature System now implemented (effects are limited)

* [NEW] Chance of catching infection the lower your temperature

* [NEW] Chance of catching infection from already infected players

This should be interesting. Now, not only do you have to figure out if another player is a bandit before approaching, but you need to determine if they are infected.

Will your humanity go up or down if you kill an infected? :D

Is there going to be a way to get rid of infection? I'm guessing it is to stay warm for awhile or find anti-biotics or something. looking forward to the update! I'm excited to see the fog changes it was getting pretty thick at times.

[drewmaw 56]

Why would you get an infection when getting cold?

There should be a chance of getting an infection when getting shot, if the bullet is lodged. Someone else should have to dig it out. But when cold? hmm...

More of a reason to not play at night... *facepalm*

Bigger the patch, bigger the bugs.

Also, we need bigger backpacks to carry all this shit!

[BurstFire (DayZ) 1]

I hope an infection is just... an infection i.e. cough/cold, not the actual zombie one, lol.

*prays for night alterations too, seeing how the fog is being changed*

[Dylan(Pezix) 0]

I see what you did there....

The higher your Humanity the less chance of catching an infection!!!! GASP****

All you bandits are dead...

Problem?

He mentions nothing about that. Stop making stuff up.

[Unkn0wn (DayZ) 2]

Well, player corpses should be able to give you infections as well, that way bandits take more risks :D.

[rocket 16567]

The infection relates to you catching a cold. In a normal world this is not serious, in DayZ you are fucked.

Antibiotics might be a little rare. I checked the database, only 50 people currently have it in their inventory.

[BurstFire (DayZ) 1]

What about pellets being replaced with slugs for those who carry them?

[Skalli 2]

There are already antibiotics outside?

I don't get it...

Why are you further de-incentivizing playing at Night?

[DeadAimHeadshot (DayZ) 2]
