dayz_rocket_suggestions

As well as fixing some issues with female character skins, the latest update has sped up the login process and fixed parachutes. Unfortunately, it’s also removed our canine companions until a few dog-related issues can be resolved. Creator Rocket praised the community for their work on this update, saying it was entirely their own work. “My involvement has simply been oversight,” he said. “Please direct your support for this update to them, as they deserve it.”

You may remember Jeremy telling us that the previous update prevented players from pitching tents in concrete. Well, now we can no longer set them up in ponds, I’m sad to report.

Update: “It became 1.7.4.4 because of my butt-hurt over streetlamps,” says Rocket. Turns out the community very much want those in their game.
