See all DayZ 1.22 change here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fqxgqtST0K_Sdnk.html DayZ 1.22 Infected Changes: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hraUnKyayb7VnZs.html

WOBO being part of the devs team would make Dayz make sense soon, and would be a giant leap into success of the game.

Us lockpick mains really appreciate this update.

I feel like this is going to be the most unpopular patch in recent memory.

The power attack from the sword should be a one hitter to the head just like the fire axe

The work that wobo does for this game and this community is amazing!! Thank you Wobo

I want to see them use the weight thingy for melee weapons. Like a 4kg weapon will do much more damage than a 1kg one

The tier 2 blunt makes no sense right now. Can you imagine new players picking up a crowbar or lead pipe, good melee weapons in any other game, only to discover a weapon cleaning kit does the same damage?

They need an overhauled bleed system. Blunt weapons should cause short term low blood drain bleeds but sharp weapons should obviously stay the same.

wobo, iv taken an extended break from dayz and to be honest im not entirely sure if ill come back any time soon, but thanks to your videos alone, i feel i can hop on at any time and still be more informed than the average player. You are amazing

Did a single person actually ask for this or even have a passing thought that we needed another re adjustment for weapons

Again, the devs touching things that really didn't need touching to begin with, literally just wasting time, which will waste more time trying to fix the time wasted which just broke everything that was just perfectly fine, instead of working on absolutely anything else that was more important, like base building, leather crafting, helicopters, planes, boats, bicycles, cooking recipes, missions, giving us new weapons, giving us old weapons we're still missing, or adding in Utes Island military compound to the South of Skalisty Island like its supposed to be, like they literally said they were going to do, excuse me, like they claimed "they did" and was coming "the next patch"(this was back in 2015, so many many patches ago, and clearly it never came).... geezus Christ 🙄

Why would they nerf the sword? It's like every time they give us something good, they take it away next update.

knowledge is power and in dayz knowledge is the key to survival stay safe out there survivors

all the issues this game has and the developers... nerf meleeing... cool

With such a thorough review, I can see that WOBO is one of (not to say THE) best QA tester in DayZ. I would give him a raise.

Whoever oversees Dayz dev makes decisions while being blindly drunk and throwing darts into a sandbox filled with cat turds.

Every update and patch from here on will be focusing on ruining the game further. Changes nobody asked for, changes that affect what the game is and has been. It's funny how back in the day video games would be made and released. Now, 12 years isn't enough time to complete the task of making a game.

A lockpick does the same damage as a crowbar... this is dayz now.

Feels weird to get used to, the little event arenas on experimentals have been awesome for trying it all out though

I think making a player unconscious with just one hit in any part of the body, sounds kinda frustrating. I dont know how armour affects this, but maybe making the player need to hit the head of the other player brings a little bit skill to this feature, making it less frustating. Just speculating :)

It makes no sense that the Fire Axe is Tier 5, but the Splitting Axe isn’t. Both of them would be devastating as they cut wood. Either one would crush a skull or cause HUGE bleeds with one shot.

thanks for covering this WOBO as usual and sorry i get triggered by things that make no obvious blatant common sense, i'm aware that dayZ has never tried to be super realistic and that the patch is far far from finished but still triggers me.

I don't know if the developers will see it, but I think it's necessary to remove the stun animation when you are hit and you fall unconscious, why is the animation played before falling? it looks strange

Dude casually added Mass Effect galactic map background music And thought we would've notice :D

I'm not going to lie: I so far very hate these rebalances. I feel the blunts should do much more damage than they've been nerfed to, especially against zombies. I'm concerned about the one-hit KO weapons as they're very frightening. But I also hated the shock damage buff to bullets when they re-added broken legs, too, but I think that it's been so far perfected for gameplay. So I think we'll see how it works out.

Bring back the one-hit shovel, that was the great equalizer agains geared players on the coast.

Thanks for the update 😌💯🤙

Great concept, makes introduction of new hand weapons into the world easy as well as cataloguing the existing. Needs fine tuning obviously but great direction.

WOBO, you are awesome. The content is great and the work you put in is appreciated. The “Magic Bullets” in vanilla official has made this game unplayable unfortunately. Luckily their is some great community servers, but they often take a lot of time to ban someone before they have killed the whole lobby for a couple days with magic bullets lol. Hopefully Bohemia figures something out, vanilla is my favorite mode to play and it’s ruined

everytime you upload a video, i m like alright, time to go to school. cause this channel to me quite literally is like day z university. thanks for the constant knowledge.

Super useful info! Thanks for your videos. Any info on the barbwire bat? That's my fav 2h. Old school shock + bleed. Curious to know it's numbers and where it lies in the tier system.

Community: please give us more building options for vanilla and a way to report cheaters. Devs: We got nerfed melee weapons

For change 1.22, The Devs shock damage will again be buffed, while their chance of making you bleed out of your eyes will increase by 50 %...

It's funny 1.19 is how every update COULD be if only the devs put more than 1% of profits back into development

0:40 best background music

They should swap the sword and the axe stats, and either remove bleed from blunt weapons or add a different type of bleed.

I'm here bc I have nothing else going on

Needs to be more 1 hit infected weapons. Or the ability to sharpen the ax to fix it.

Would be cool to be able to throw weapons and damage targets

I wonder how many of the devs watch these videos,just to see what oversights they did

U know you a good channel when i don’t even play dayz anymore and i still watch yo content 😹😹

The fire axe has always been able to one shot zombies i hope it is atleast a consistent one hit

I would prefer if every weapon was a bit unique but I understand it will be easier to balance new weapons added in.

didn't imagine this is update was gonna finally break my dayz addiction. But when the devs clearly don't play their own game, and then proceed to continually make whack stat changes no one asked for and then to call that an update is troubling. If the devs are going to add things players haven't been asking for, its in the form the changes like the livonia map rework, adding the gas zones, and increased gun and food items. Otherwise among the playerbase is pretty obvious what we want; better transportation (fixed cars and maybe added pedal bikes), more clothing types, base building improved, better tiered loot spawn balance, server performance, and most important of all; dealing with the cheaters that pervade the official servers.

WOBO, you breath life to this game's systems and info to the point I'd feel bad not liking one of your videos. Love ya

Thank you so much man this is so helpful

So early it hasn't even finished rendering yet. Wobo University is in session!

Placing weapons in different categories according to their damage types is a good idea on paper, but if it's badly executed the result will be catastrophic. The changes presented in this video make no sense, either in terms of gameplay balance or realism. It would take too long for this commentary to describe all the changes they've made and whether they're good or bad, but I beg you devs, first and foremost think about two essential questions for your game: Does it make sense in a survival game ? Does it represent a logical progression curve within my own game that would be satisfying and yet challenging for players? You synthesize the two answers and you get changes that the vast majority of players will surely welcome with a smile. A high possibility of bleeding durin a fist fight combat destroys one of the most fun aspects of the game: fresh spawn bullshitery on the coast. What used to be a purely skill-based confrontation will become a simple RNG contest, where whoever gets the first bleed just has to circle his enemy and wait for him to bleed to death. I don't think the community is entirely against the idea of making a player bleed with a punch tho, but the probability has to be extremely low (between 5 and 10% in my opinion). This would make a fight between two freshies even more tense, with the possibility of completely reversing the situation at any moment, without destroying the very essence of this kind of early hostile interactions. The sword damage changes make no sense, are frustrating and disappointing. What's the point of exploring the castles around the map to find a weapon that does the same damages that a random wood cleaver found in any garage of a spawn town ? Why should a type of weapon used in warfare and civil defense for thousands of years (swords in general, not this type, of course) and which has such an important aura in the collective unconscious be relegated to the same rank as a common gardening tool ? Another point : Changing the stats is not the only way to boost or nerf melee weapons and some realistic changes would be desirable (needed ?) in a survival game and could certainly be incorporated into your game without much effort - I explain: Currently, player characters carry the sword behind their backs. It only makes sense in a Hollywood movie and is ridiculous in a survival game ( and you can't draw a longsword from your back in a single motion, not the most practical thing in a survival context lol). The great thing about a sword is that you can wear it on your belt with a sheath or a scabbard. You just need to add a sheath to pair with this item, as is the case for knives in your game. This would allow to leave one of the shoulder slots free for gun or avoid taking up all the space in a huge backpack. You can also increase the speed with which the sword is drawn if it is on your belt - making the weapon even more useful (and the same change should also be applicable to machetes, hatchets, masses and hammers [ the last three should not need a scabbard, of course, since you can simply slide them head up in a belt, adding a dedicated slot, like on the improvised rope belt would do ] This is my last point and perhaps the most important one: The categories are incomplete: In most rpg, and even in police reports we categorize the wounds made to the human body by melee weapons and three main categories: Cuts, blunt and stabs. This last category is the most deadly ( just look at police reports in the case of knife attack ) and it makes no sense that it is not a part of your game while YOU HAVE MADE THE EFFORT TO CREATE SPECIAL ANIMATIONS DEDICATED TO STABING ATTACKS 👈 And there is a place for this categorie in your game : STAB = LOW shock damage HIGH health damage MEDIUM bleeding SLASH = MEDIUM shock damage MEDIUM health damage HIGH bleeding BLUNT = HIGH shock damage LOW health damage LOW bleeding And you scale it for each weapons tier. The spear - the most ancient and efficient melee weapon in history - is useless in dayz. Why ? Because it's easely craftable ? Make it more complicated to build, add ropes for the crafting or something. And why can't we STAB with a knife (you know, the most logical way to defend yoursef with it) ? Why i'm slashing the Zs with my Steak knife like an absolute ape ? SEPARATE the knifes into two categories, One with stab animations (military dagger, bayonets, screw driver, steak knife, kitchen knife...) and one for big knife design to slash and chop irl ( Hunting knige, machetes, kukri, ect....). AND YOU KNOW WHAT ? You can be lazy and just turn the item head down in the fist of the player model so he use the knife in a ice pick grip - it will make more sens that the present animation we have for knife that should be use to stab . You can also add a sadic feature where the player have a small chance to cut is own hand when he stab with a knige that have no hand guard / hand stop to simulate is hand sliding on the blade 👹 ( like the miserable steak knife ) My english is dog shit but i hope it was understandable.

Wobo, you got the best DayZ news channel, good work!

Technically you can still oneshot a Military Zombies with a military knife from the back with the animation, unless that isn´t a thing anymore

Guess I'll carry all weapons for all occasions

I’d like to have home made guns. Like a lead pipe and duct tape makes a gun frame which you can choose the caliber of the gun and it’s very low durability but quick to make

They should add the ability to lockpick 3dials, but it'd consume 3 charges of the lockpick

Rip the shovel even more I miss the older days with it 😂 I do like the sledge being buffed but idk if any weapon should be 1 hit knock out.

Why can't they add an alternate attack to melee combat? We need variability in close combat to break its predictable nature. Example 1- A non-heavy attack such as a thrust or stab with edged weapons Example 2- A cross check with 2 handed blunt weapons. Example 3- One handed blunt weapons can be a poking/parrying type motion

Fear the new 7.62 super punch!

Thank you WOBO, very cool.

I'd love to see quietest footwear video if you are excepting ideas Mr. WOBO. It would be great if the crafted leather shoes were the best for stealth slightly over the bandage shoes

Melee weapons already getting left in the dust after you leave spawn. Idk what the point of this is, doesnt seem to have any positives on my opinion. Yes getting stun-locked by freshies is annoying but this is somehow making melee combat even wors?

Can someone explain the logic behind buffing the buggy af zombies which are not getting a rework anymore?

Melee system is fine it doesn't need any nerfs or buffs. And this teir system makes no sense and is completely unnecessary

Fire axe being that strong makes sense , sledges should be able to break a players leg with one or two heavy hits though . 😅

The spear is a crafted melee weapon already WOBO mate.

WOBO for the win! Thanks for another great infovid mate! G.O.A.T.

All you guys keep up the marvellous content and keep the info up DayZ coming fourth

watching this is 360p gang

i’m so excited to be able to have a fighting chance against other players with a melee weapon. with the kicks and rolling and movement mechanics, hand to hand in this game is so fun. bout to be bonking everybody

HOW the hell is WOBO not a well paid consultant for Bohemia??!?

I would love to see Buffed sword (it's a fucking sword after all) New makeshift weapons, upgrading from a last resort to a powerful weapon Armour changes

I'm pleased to see a fireaxe back in the meta as it always deserved the top spot.

yes, worms are powerful. I have a worm as a pet in the game I call it Gommy

Sledgehammer should always be a high damage high KO chance weapon, and definitely should be a one shot kill to the head of zeds cause taking a sledgie to the head would cave it in completely, head = smashed pumpkin looking thing after taking a decent hit from a sledgie in reality, should be the same in game... permanently.

i think firefighter axe should be tier 4 and sword be tier 5, my reasoning is that the firefighter axe has more functions then the sword. a sword is designed to kill. a firefighter axe is made to break things open

0:18 gives me half life 2 vibes

I've got one for ya. Twitchers and tubers keep complaining about the inconsistency of various calibers/rifles/guns. Get volunteers to wear hunter clothing and fill every slot possible with the same category items (cans of food for one test, electrical repair kits for another, AR magazines for another, fruit...etc.). And see if there is a statistical difference between bullets hitting different types of items in clothing etc. No, I don't expect it to be exhaustive, unless you are even more masochistic then I think you are already.

Why does the dev team keep making fresh spawn gameplay less and less fun? Deadlier zombies, melee weapons becoming less and less useful? Personal opinion but the chaos of being a fresh spawn is much more fun than being fully geared, so I'm kind of confused as to why they do this

can you make a video on tisy? basically just what kind of loot spawns there, any special facts, ETC

They should definitely make the bleed rate dependent on what cuts you like getting a cut leg from a freshie punching you in the ribs should not bleed you as quick as getting shot with a 7.62x54r lol

earthworm meta lets go

Crafted would be for the Barbed Wire Baseball Bat at least

Is there anything different about the bayonets stats on weapons?

This is typical of the devs, put in mid items that u have to use imagination for then nerf the fuck out it to take all fun out and make useless.. no different to the bullet nerf that ruined anything 357 name 1 thing. Soon the bolts will no longer 1 shot zombies. Dissapointing but typical..

Dunno man...if I got hit by someone using an earthworm, I'd be pretty stunned.

Have the devs sent your employment contract through yet? 😅 brilliant work 👏

Did you consider how the blunt weapons affect players when you wear different helmets against shock damage?

Imagine getting stun locked with an earthworm! 🤣🤣

The sword should ABSOLUTELY be a tier 5 weapon

Wobo could you test if the civilian helmets such as the skate and hockey ones protect against the blunt weapons now ? It would be nice to suggest on the feedback tracker if not.

Finally the earth worm got a buff!

Sword should be the best melee weapon. Fireaxe, usual axe and pickaxe should do the same damage but being far slower.

I can´t wait to pull my earth worm and stun freshies on the coast...

The sword one hits infected still

Not gunna lie these changes are seriously WACK! Dont some of you agree? Dunno if you played on Exp but weapons decay much faster now, these are not good quality of life changes. Honestly i cant fathom it.

The...sword should be king or at least equal to the Fireaxe.

FireAX King. Correct Meta. xD Nice system though, i just wish that the damage would scale with the wear status on the weapons, so you can sharpen your knife to make more damage.

I wont be satisfied until bayonet charges result in a one hit kill

What about cans of food and stuff like that? Also I didn't see the brass knuckles mentioned. I'm guessing tier 1 or 2...

Always wondered what happened to tageasttagwest and jerb (probably wrong names cba to go back and check but you get my drift) 😂

Look out, I've got an earthworm and I'm not afraid to use it 😂
