Experimental DayZ update

Блог
Employees of Bohemia Interactive have updated their open-world online action game DayZ to version 1.27. The developers called the patch "experimental", as not all its parts will take root in the game - in the end, the fate of the update will be decided by gamers' feedback. All the changes, from the coastline revision to the artificial intelligence, are related to the Frostline DLC, and from the pleasant bonuses it's worth noting the increased load capacity of heroes. We tell you in detail what we know so far.

The developers have greatly enhanced the coastline: added more loot spots, expanded the town of Aniva, turned Baikovo from a farm into a village. On Sahal Island there are more details like broken trees and destroyed buildings. On the snowy plains, milestones and outposts appeared - for easy navigation in these desolate lands. On Burukan, on the contrary, trees had to be cut down in some places to make traveling around the island more dangerous. An interesting detail is the external thermometers, which immediately show why your character suddenly started to freeze.

Now the continuous action became not only dressing wounds, for which it is enough to press one button, but also repair. Artificial intelligence of pets has been improved - you will have to watch sheep, goats and cows more carefully, because they will run away with a higher probability than before. Fishing has also been made more difficult, and the effectiveness of unfinished fishing inventory has dropped dramatically. Boats after the patch will appear more stable, and they are allowed to take away more on them, if we take into account the improvement of the capacity of each hero's inventory.
