http://dayz.gamepedia.com/Changelog#1.7.7

I will try to post what we changed from this list soon, there are significant differences. 

Some things listed above were either broken, or made for annoying gameplay.

we changed alot of things,  in an attempt to make the game "feel" like it did in previous versions.  we will continue working in that direction.

this update is just a bunch of "filler",  almost every peice of .sqf was changed for no apparent reason (other than to just change it for the sake of saying its different)    most changes were made in an attempt to stop private hives from modding the game.  1.7.6.1 was 1 of our most stable versions, and alot of servers had modified the game to suit their community's needs. 

the devs like it when the change logs are long,  but if you take out the items that were broken or caused serious gameplay issues,  you are left with only a few nice features.

-------------------------------

now that i'm done with my usual 1.7 rant,  thanks for posting this   .  its always helpful for people to know whats different in this version.

I will try to post something that shows what applies to the Hunters Den,  since our version of 1.7 is very different.   

thnx again

example of unnecessary "changes" 


]UPDATED] - Re-added the "save" option to tents and vehicles. This is a fail-safe option, not required. (Due to a small amount of servers reporting issues with tents saving. With no info for us to recreate we re-added this option to save tents/vehicles)


private hives reported this problem until we were all out of breath.  the devs did NOTHING to even try and help.  So people were left to fix the problem themselves.  Everyone remembers how the tents were duping when 1.7.6.1 was released.  We fixed it after many failed attempts.   The problem is history, why address it now?  After they ignored it for months  




same story with-
]FIXED] - Hero Skin teleport issue

for the next update i will take out the unimportant things. just figured ide show everything!

i like it,  i just didn't like 1.7  

i'm happy you took the time to post this.  its important no matter if i like the update or not

I help run a forum. I know how important it is to inform people about changes. Especially how the entire game will change when the standalone comes out in (please insert set date, then prepare to change it ever month) -_-

I had to hide the mi17, because without some sort of anti-material rifle, it will be a pain in the arse to take out if someone else gets their hands on it.
