The update aims for a complete server and character wipe, and the introduction of private lobbies is also planned. Furthermore, the developers are constantly working on performance and trying to fix as many bugs as possible. This includes:
- Expanded healthcare system We improved it in version 1.04 and will continue to work on balancing it. However, we are not currently committing to implementing complex medical/injury-related gameplay – although this is desired by many hardcore players, we are still striving to fully explain the complexity of the existing system to the majority of players. Going forward, we are working on finding a good balance between authenticity and accessibility.
- New content (weapons, cars, etc.) As you know, we've already added some of them. More will follow, but remember that it depends on how quickly we can achieve this year's goals.
- Modding support – We will improve the user experience for both modders and players. For example, we will soon be adding support for the animation tool.
- Stable base building – A large part of this is the issue of balance and one of our main goals for the year.
More information about DayZ and patch 1.04 is expected soon.
