*jizzes* OH MY GOD, IM IN LOVE!

[Farkinob 19]

What is the ETA of delivery?

[ChernoPTA 160]

Wait, is this for real? Seems too good to be true.

[erocker 87]

You make me sad. :(

NOT REAL.

Trolltastic. The removal of the AS-50 was a dead giveaway.

Some good ideas there though.

[Forceflare 166]

This has got to be a troll thread. Half of these additions are completely far fetched and asinine, also never mentioned anywhere. I guarantee this moron just spent an hour compiling a list of features he'd like added.

I don't see 'extra bicycles' in there, you are the worst dev in the world. And why is it so late??

All you want to do is run away with our money.

I'm quitting this lousy game, daedrick! I'm quitting because of you and your rotten costumer support!!

[ALJ STARK 9000 0]

you has earned ma beans!

[FrostDMG 398]

wow. too bad DayZ staff can't release patch notes for shit.

good work mate

[ShootyMcStabbyface 3]

Delete this thread.

Wait...is this real or wishlist?

[Larkins 38]

Wish it was real!

[tad@tadshackles.com 75]

Successful troll is successful.

[ChernoPTA 160]

Yeah to be honest some of this stuff is good stuff, too bad its a troll.

Oh well back to waiting for the game to be playable again.

[capitainedesolation@yahoo.fr 119]

Clicked on the link... nice troll :(

[cu12s3 1]

Would be too awesome if this is real.........

[bluecrackers 175]

I would love for this to be real if it weren't for removing the as50 and m107. Honestly they aren't as OP as everyone makes them out to be.

[Powell (DayZ) 734]

Real or not, this is an amazing changelog that would be awesome to have. And what's this "now in beta" nonsense?

Edited August 25, 2012 by Powell

[Silverline (DayZ) 10]

And then I stopped playing DayZ.

All the things I ever wanted offered and then ... fake.

[Inception. 9443]

"removed AS50 and M107"

Well what about the players who currently hold an M107? Will they just lose their weapon, straight up?

That's outrageous. If it is true, then Rocket better give us an option to take pretty much any other weapon and substitute it for our loss of our M107s/AS50s.

Other than that, I like it.

[Max Planck 7174]

Hey daedrick, why did you release it so early? It is full of bugs!! You are ruining the game!!

Aarghrrghyy-lalalala-hackers-skmhtBUgZZ!! I'm leaving!

Ahhh... That felt great.

[TheMachine 803]

This would be the best update ever.

[4L4N 276]

Had to change the title of the topic slightly to avoid any confusion. Seems some of our members have forgot how to have fun.

Can you not see everybody saying it's a troll? So obvious.. he doesn't even have that cyan name stuff...

For those with the bug with rabbits that instantly kill them when they get too close, we are currently working on a fix. I heard that some players can solve this issue temporally if they chop its head off.

Had to change the title of the topic slightly to avoid any confusion. Seems some of our members have forgot how to have fun.

You are kidding right? This is completely harmless, click on the torrent file link and laugh it off, you must not have been on the internet for very long, this kind of topic have been on every popular game and everybody laugh it off, only some very naive people think its real.

Hell, I will take that as a compliment because it only means I did a good job if even the mods think it could be real, or is that wishful thinking? :P

Still, I would LOVE to see this changes.
