Da sich die DayZ Standalone bekannter Weise noch in der Alpha befindet werden dem Spiel laufend neue Inhalte hinzugefügt. Das nächste Update wird ab Montag verfügbar, doch nur für experimentierfreudige User.
DayZ erhält wieder mal frische Inhalte. Ab Montag geht ein neuer Patch online – jedoch nur experimentell. Denn man ist sich noch nicht absolut sicher, ob der Patch auch stabil und flüssig läuft. Deshalb muss man, um die neue Version zu testen, den Beta Zweig in den DayZ Einstellungen aktivieren. Jedoch werden nur wenige Server auf die experimentelle Version geupdatet, was zu einem Mangel an freien Slots führen kann, warnte Dean Hall. Der offizielle Patch soll noch vor Ende der nächsten Woche verteilt werden.
Neu ist zum Beispiel das Beeren pflücken. Diese Option wird im neuen Patch hinzugefügt – jedoch sollte man dabei vorsichtig vorgehen, die Entwickler haben bestimmt auch ein paar giftige Varianten eingeführt. Zudem wurde die Spawnrate für M4A1, FNX und Python gesenkt. Dafür gibt es jetzt eine neue Schrotflinte, die sich auch mit der neuen passenden Stahlsäge etwas kürzen lässt. Die Munition dafür findet sich ja bereits überall. Außerdem wird die neue Hafenstadt „Svetloyarsk“ in das Spiel integriert. Zusätzlich lassen sich mit neuen Graffiti Dosen Dinge bemalen – was alles bemalbar wird, wird sich aber erst noch zeigen.
Branch:
- Experimental
ETA:
- Monday 20 January 2014, AM
Description:
This build is being tested on experimental branch, and contains a number of fixes and changes that have been in preparation for the last two weeks. Please note that we do not expect that this build will be quickly posted to stable branch as we anticipate at least one more update will occur to Experimental prior to being pushed to stable. Only a limited number of servers will be running this version, so be aware slots may be limited. Once we have confirmed this build is functioning correctly we will announce more information about the release to stable branch.
- What are experimental/stable branches?
In your steam application settings, you can choose a „beta branch“. This allows you to opt in to our experimental branch to try it out.
- Does my saved character get affected in experimental branch?
No. It runs on a different database, so any changes will not affect your character on stable branch.
- I can’t find a slot while on experimental branch!
Only a small number of servers run this branch. You will need to change your game back to the stable branch and play on a normal server
- Can I join a stable branch server wil experimental branch client?
No, you would need to change your client back to stable.
- When will this be in stable?
We expect stable to be updated before the end of that week (by Friday 24 January 2014).
