Pending Update: Build 1.7.2.4

[Looter (DayZ) 22]

[...] ... if rocket feels like they need to test what kind of impact removing the respawn button will have on the game then he is well within in his right to do it, because alphas are for testing mechanics that have an impact on gameplay. He's not a stubborn guy, if it turns out to hurt the game he'll put it back in.

Yes, besides I am a bit relieved because he explicitly pointed out that the respawn in an incorrect location is really fixed/ addressd now with this patch. So I will have a look at the patch anyways and hope that those (really annoying) situations when you are found in DebugHills have gone forever now. For this reason I am ok with the respawn button beeing gone (although I would have prefered to leave it there and have a timer of 15mins on it or sth. like that).

pistols are useles in a pvp fight. 2 guys 15 feet from me took me by surprise and unloaded their pistols on me. i was crouching, got up and ran passing by a friend behind a wall, and when they came close he mowed them down with an akm. i had something like 3000 blood left.

went trought a lot of fights in a row, i just simply gave up using pistols, theyre so ridiculous now.

cant believe this change in gameplay, feels like playing a slowpaced version of counterstrike on a biggermap. (with annoying zombies that show no threat whatsoever, unless they desync and i got hit or they wont die)

thats because of the patch the arma 2 guys did, and has nothing to do with the dayZ team, get yourfacts right before rambling

Small bug report that might fit the patch:

L85A2 AWS is probably not beeing saved on player's data correctly.

The Following happened to me and a friend:

> We each found a L85A2 AWS.

> We both had for quite some time.

> I joined a 1.7.2.3 Server and my L85A2 AWS disappeared.

> My friend joined another 1.7.2.3 Server and his L85A2 AWS also disappeared.

I do not believe this is a L85 bug, I have had an 870 shotgun and an AKS-74U KOBRA dissapear from my main inventory slot as well, after having them for a while.

If the damage values get changed back to where they were, sure.

The player isn't moving in those five seconds, he is just sitting there. If you can't headshot that target you probably shouldn't be playing shooters.

Firstly, we will do what DayZ always does... we will collect data.

At the same time, initially, login cooldown will be applied (and grow) where you transfer to another server, and cooldown will be applied significantly if you try and reconnect to the same server (with an alive character). Once we have enough data, we will use that to determine algorithms that detect a players behavior over a period of time. This will allow us to then start applying warnings > punishments > database bans; to those players who continue the behavior.

Sometimes, when I play, I go to a safe plase, logout, eat some dinner or going to the toilet. I dont beeing in combat with other players or is in any danger from infected - Q - will I recive punishments for doing that?

Hey Rocket, First off I'd like to thank you for a potentially Kick-ass mod that I've been thoroughly enjoying playing. That being said, yesterday I had a crash that seemed to corrupt my Hive data. I've tried everything I can client-side to resolve this, including (but not limited to) re-installing arma 2 and OA. I'm up to date on BE and OA patches but just hang on the loading screen. From what I've read others are encountering the same issues and its rendered the game completely unplayable for me. Any chance this will get fixed in 1.7.2.4? Also would someone be able to reset my hive data and give me a fresh spawn? any information would be appreciated. Like many other I purchased Arma II purely for dayz....I'd love to start logging some more play time.

Will the countdown timer be in this update? I don't see it in the changelog?

[sivart 85]

People who get killed by people who spawn in are 9/10 times hoppers themselves.

got anything to back that up?

HAHA - you're forgetting about the "equal opportunity" companies? :D

[GenDodo 4]

Any possibility that the 1911 and Revolver damage be fixed? Now it takes 4 shots to kill a zed instead of 1.

[ZomboWTF 527]

the arma 2 guys patched the weapons damage, check dayZ db for more info

That's no excuse, english is not my native language either. You would do a lot better if you could be bothered to spell out your words. 'U' and 'UR' is just annoying.

By the way, people can't hoard vehicles off the map anymore, it was fixed a good while ago.

theres so much wrong with that...

raging person not able to take 5 minutes to write things with concentration talking about low intelligence using the words "ur barely mind status" ?

btw my mother language isn't english either, but at least you could refrain from becoming insulting just because someone criticizes your writings
