Whats coming with next update

This is the changelog for the next update, no word yet on when its going to release. There are some problems with the current arma beta patch. (People relogging with 100% health) Hopefully they work on this before releasing. If not, maybe I can find some way to fix it.

As with any update, I'm very worried about the new glitches that will most likly start popping up. But who knows, we might get lucky. I know my heli crash changes will most likely need tweaked to work with this update. Here are the changes that are on the way from dayz community developers.

thanks guys

Sounds alright. Being able to combine magazines is sweet.

I wonder if this applies to everything with the same caliber round. Will we be able to take M249 belts and convert them to stanag mags or Beta-c mags?

The key word is combine. Not convert.

I have a feeling it will be same mag only combination.

This is to free up inventory with those pesky 2 shot mags and not to create entirely new magazines out of thin air.

Well if it's based on the current mechanic then it will be a convert mechanic. Similar to the M24 to DMR mag conversion or .45ACP to M1911a1 mag conversion. So far all ammunition that is cross compatible is converted into a magical magazine that pops out of thin air.

Old mechanic that was never bothered to be change. If it isn't stated in the update that it will be able to convert then it won't be added.

At this point everything is speculation but based on the previously released futures involving ammunition I'm guessing it will be a conversion process

Any update on the update?
