DayZ - The Christmas update on Stable branch


The Christmas update on Stable branch

Posted: 15 Dec 2017 05:31 AM PST

I have some info for you about the situation on Stable servers.

Currently, everything works fine on Experimental servers and you can find Christmas boxes with rare loot, beards and Santa's hats there.

We are still having some issues on Stable servers with the central economy, you will not be able to find any Christmas boxes there at the moment, but guys are working on it and I hope it will be resolved today.

Fix will be ready on Monday for QA tests, gifts will be on the Stable branch on Tuesday or Wednesday. Sorry for complication.

The Terror of My First Spawn

Posted: 14 Dec 2017 08:05 PM PST

I bought this game late last night on a whim. I was itching for something new, something FPS, and I liked the survival aspect of the game Rust when I used to play. Checked out the basic controls, read about the basic gameplay, and spawned in.

It was dark! So dark that I turned the lights out in my computer room so that I could see. You could see the condensation form as I exhaled, I was hungry and thirsty, and I immediately felt uneasy thinking that someone or some zombie would kill me. I read server populations were low these days but I still worried about a well geared maniac KOSing me as I ran along the road. I felt helpless... It was awesome!

Ran around, found an axe and a goofy looking construction helmet. Then I searched for food. I couldn't find ANYTHING! Everything was empty. I found a barn not unlike the one I found my axe in. As I looked around the bare floor I heard something. I felt the hair stand up on the back of my neck. It had to be a zombie, and it was right outside! I stood still. I had no idea what to do. The fear had me in it's grasp. I got my axe ready to swing at this SOB. Then without thinking I just ran! Up a hill into the woods. I freaked out during my first zombie encounter and ran like a wimp. I was terrified... It was awesome!

Eventually, I swam to some island and made my way to a house, which I knew was a bad idea but I desperately needed food and water. I ran up the hill as the game kept informing me in red text that I was soaking wet, freezing, and starving to death. Nothing in the house, I'm screwed, I knew I was going to die soon. Then I heard it. A cluck? IT'S A CHICKEN! I ran after the bastard swinging my axe! But only seconds went by and then I fell unconscious, then died shortly after. At that moment I was less afraid and creeped out... I just felt lonely. It was awesome.

It's been a while since I've had a genuine visceral reaction to a video game. But DayZ made it happen. Last night I was scared and lonely and desperately looking for food to survive. I didn't make it. I can't wait to play when I get home in a few hours! I wonder if I'll survive.

TL;DR - I'm new. I like this game. It's scary.

Where's the loot at?

Posted: 15 Dec 2017 07:35 AM PST

Hey, so I saw a post on here a few days ago and sparked some interest for me to try DayZ again. I've not played for probably about a year now or something but used to play DayZ back in the mod a load on Arma 2, SA never really cut it for me. There were always an issue with loot but you guys seem to love it so much still. Is there something I'm missing while playing the game? I used to enjoy playing the game on the mod being able to gear up in almost any town with a least some form of weapon, backpack, little food etc with major medical supplies requiring a mission to a hospital. I've logged in, running around a major city the last 30/40 minutes and found literally nothing but a bit of ammo and a can of pop.

I've logged into a DayZ Public Server with a High Pop, is that where I've gone wrong? But honestly, if I need to join a low pop server to loot, then join the high pop to play, what is the point?

Where are you Having Luck Finding the new Christmas Loot?

Posted: 14 Dec 2017 09:19 PM PST

Notice how the characters are much more diverse?

Posted: 14 Dec 2017 01:45 PM PST

Well...Its worth a shot. Dear devs,

Posted: 15 Dec 2017 12:47 AM PST

Here is a Christmas list of what I want. But first let me give you a scenario that to me made Arma 2 dayz mod great. (overpoch era).

Im the team leader and my group have been grinding hard. Earlier that day we got lucky enough to spot a c-130 and had to dig it out of the forest and fly it to the airfield and sell it for a briefcase of gold. We fixed up a few vehicles and got those sold for a few more gold bars and managed to get a bunch of guns and ammo from the world events (crashed plan, bandit camp, bandit convoy). We are camped out in a barn in the far north and decide its time to build up. We hop in our suburban, grab a few briefcases of gold and head to the shore to pick up some cinder blocks and mortar....

Those traders, they were not safe places. Those world events, the AI were as deadly as the players fighting for the loot. And those briefcases of gold required a lot of hard and dangerous work to acquire. And the zombies were always always always at our necks. When we hop into that suburban and head to the coast for building supplies we know there is likely to be shore bandits to fight, and if we are really unlucky, the group with a military helicopter is going to be there.

Its been 4 years...My challenge to you is start taking steps that make the game great. Great experiences can happen before the game is polished.

Currency system. -Bars of silver gold tin copper -Safe and dangerous traders a) military traders are dangerious b) civilian traders are safe

Vehicles are a HUGE part. and they need to be sellable. Get a littlebird in for combat...a broken ass Chinook for people to scout out, fix up and get to a trader to sell or use to move loot, and an airplane thats worth a lot of gold.

The building system. -NOT A SNAPPING SYSTEM. Please do not make the building pieces snap together. Make sure the system allows for the tiniest of adjustments and just give us a bunch of different craft-able items to build with. Let us build anywhere that isn't near a trader. (towns, we wanna build in them houses and skyscrapers).

Random events. Crashed heli with survivors. Broken down convoy. Bandit camp.

Respawning. spawn points. You spawn in the SOUTH. You only spawn in the SOUTH. If you die, you spawn IN THE SOUTH. You cannot change this. You cannot pick a spawn. YOU ONLY SPAWN RANDOMLY IN THE SOUTH. When you die in front of your base, YOU SPAWN IN THE SOUTH. Your team mates have to come get you.

Spawning is so important, yet so simple and the very first game mechanic you encounter when you join a server. Yet it influences every part of the game. Zombies are less threatening when you can spawn in a bag or a bed nearby. How you defend a base, how you raid. How you move, its all influenced by the spawn mechanic. Its DayZ, its going to take 20 minutes to run back to your base when you die and your items will be gone. and its going to fucking suck.

Implement these things in basic forms and work on making them perfect over time.

Don't give up on DayZ. Its been 4 years and I fucking haven't.

[Suggestion] Make it possible to bind stance adjust to the mouse (with a key modifier) for finer incremental peeks, opposed to the quick and rough adjustments as in ArmA 3.

Posted: 14 Dec 2017 11:48 AM PST

The stance system in A3 is really useful in many environments, but it can also be difficult to use in others due to the increments being too large. Allowing players to use the mouse to incrementally raise/lower their body and to lean left/right would allow them to peek finer angles and better utilize concealment and cover. This change would allow the player much more control over what their character does.

The camera control would have to somehow be locked, or slowed down by a lot, while stance adjust is taking place.

Looking For Genuine Feedback On My Content

Posted: 14 Dec 2017 07:44 PM PST

I've came to know and respect many members of the DayZ Standalone Community. That being said, I'd truly like to hear constructive feedback on my newest video. OBS somehow reset my mic volume to 50%, but other than that, please let me know what you all think. I'm not sure why, but my other channels receive so much more traffic and ranking than this DayZ channel. I just want to make sure that it is not a quality issue. TIA -Archie PS: Feel free to send me your channel links if you'd enjoy some honest feedback as well.

DayZ and Razer Cortex

Posted: 14 Dec 2017 12:17 PM PST

My razer cortex shows a silver icon next to DayZ, I think I can earn 1silver per minute of game play. Is this correct? It is not on the list of supported games though so I am confused. I would launch the game and find out but it's not launching atm my PC is about to die I think ...
