DayZ Mod - New version 1.7.2 gameplay
38DayZ 1.7.2 is finally here. The transition process was not without problems, as players were stuck in the character creation screen, until a server side hotfix, released by the DevTeam, fixed the issue.
I think I was lucky enough to get inside one of the first "veteran" level servers to be fully updated (when I connected, the server had just finished creating -- I was keeping an eye out for those, close to half an hour after the DevTeam announced the hotfix on their Twitter account - and there were only 6 players in it; when I logged out, 38).
There is definitely a change in zombie behavior, as you can see from this video (did several experiments, like crawling, running and firing loud weapons in different situations). The loot spawning probabilities also seem to have been modified, since I found an antibiotics box inside an apartment building (first time ever I've seen one of those). I couldn't find a bear trap though; when I get one I'll post a video.
Highlights:
01:15 Testing a zombie's audio range
02:50 Line of sight test (or how to lose a zombie by running around a house enough times)
03:23 I get inside a house, a zombie hears me and warps in
09:06 I become disoriented an run back inside the same house, spot new loot under the tank trap (it was not there the first time)
10:30 First apartment building
12:48 Second apartment building
15:43 Third apartment building (with wire fence)
19:48 I find antibiotics (first time I've ever seen one of those)
20:49 Fourth appartment building
22:18 I find Camo clothing, put it on and glitch out. Then I start "swimming" around the apartment and lose all my weapons
25:55 I go to the Hospital, break the glass and enter
26:46 I go back to the first appartment building and get a Lee Enfield
29:20 I find a Toolbox
30:15 Back to the first house, I find an M1911
31:31 Loud weapon fire test
37:16 Fire Station
39:09 Supermarket
42:25 I'm unable to enter the Church
43:01 I enter the Pub
47:14 Leaving town
