Timing of Patch 1.5.8

[ihax 16]

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

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

Sooo how common is catching an infection if antibiotics is rare?

[Ardenyal 1]

Release the Kraken!

[afflix 33]

rocket, could we get a thread for a continuously updated changelog? It would be nice to be able to just pop into the same thread each time and see an editted first post rather than digging through this thread to find the goodies.

Just a suggestion :)

[Augusto (DayZ) 3]

Awesome changes man!!!

Im loving the infection dynamics, cant wait to be forced to kill a companion or risk infection.

Any ETA on the next build????

Thx Rocket!!!!!!!

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

And Rocket, imagine all the delicious tears ;-)

That sounds great! Not even just for this process either. I mean make that shit a feature! Seriously dying and just being able to respawn a few minutes later isn't working for me. I was all angry about dying just a few days ago ( I play differently now), but now it doesn't even bother me. If someone get's all hostile with me about killing me in chat. I'm just like I really don't care what you do. I'll just respawn anyway. I know where the loot is. It's not that difficult getting that back. And once I get a tent setup. Well forgetta 'bout it. It'll be like I never died anyway. /shrug

I would imagine the hospitals, but I've never seen them in game either.

[linfosoma 38]

Oh I so want to get infected and spread that thing around :D

[prospekt 8]

I am SO buying you a beer... a beer made of tears *_*

[therookaam (DayZ) 1]

just release the fucking patch already

[fox808 40]

Never saw them myself but it looks like antibiotics are already in game... with 0.22% spawn rate chance.

* [NEW] PROTIP: Use Global Chat/VOIP in populated areas

What does this mean? Some kind of new communication features?

[drakenof 9]

Antibiotics are probably EPI-PEN or the other one for broken bones. The filename does not always correspond to the actual item ingame.

It makes me want to keep playing 1.5.7 so he never releases it. 1.5.8 sounds like it's getting worse and worse.

[Kuroi (DayZ) 2]

rocket will bandit's skin be removed with 1.5.8?

I think zombies will react to voice. ...And possibly text chatter?

[bobbyweenus 17]

I think your post should earn you an instant IP blacklisting.

Oh boy how cool would it be if using text chat or voice chat actually alerted nearby zombies...

maybe that would stop all the "anyone in cherno??" spamming!

Antibiotics are in the game. I found them once. Lost them shortly after. :)

Asking if someone is in Cherno is already dumb enough. Of course someone is in Cherno! Most likely a bandit with a sniper rifle. xD

Well yea. If anyone actually is there, he'll be getting the fuck out because someone else is there instead of letting everyone know about it, or he'll answer and try to lure you into a trap.

So uh' date=' I got a bit carried away...

I agree.

Getting too spergy survivalist for me.

I remember when Day Z was fun and wasn't a game for masochists who actively hated doing anything in the game that could be considered fun.
