Repeated intro
Hello Survivors, There's been a lot of great stuff happening in the community and today's Community Spotlight is once again completely packed, so make yourselves a cup of tea, sit back and enjoy! To kick things off, I have some interesting facts for you from our animation team. The animators have already made or started progress on 5660 animations for DayZ, and 4169 of those animations are currently being used in the game. And another interesting fact - the longest animation we have is shaving which clocks in at 400 frames, meaning it's just a little over 13 seconds long. Thank you Adam Oresten for this interesting info!

The Xbox community has a lot of questions and we decided to answer them in a live stream. We took the frequently asked questions and issues you've sent to us in the Xbox Feedback Round - January 2019 on our Forums and we were talking about them on the live stream. Check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBuRO9FP9SI I can't forget to mention it was Valentine's Day. All of us get from our nice colleague Ket (who's taking care of all the crashes you send, and takes her lovely huskies to the office every day) a DayZ heart cookie.
But we get nice stories and wishes from you too. Look at this cute picture. It's Valentine's gift from Kyla to her other half - a picture of them playing DayZ together for the first time. It's so romantic and it is cool to know you can find the love of your life in DayZ.
And thank you all for nice wishes and pictures. It warmed our hearts. <3
Yeah, we've had an annoying issue with persistence, and hopefully it is all gone right now (thank you devs so much!), many of you tried to help us to identify and resolve persistence problems, and among the most active reporters were the members of the community from the Village server who built a wall across the Chernarus to find out what breaks the persistence. In the end, it was a different issue, but we want to thank you for your passion for DayZ, we love you. Here's how was "The Great Wall of Persistence" built. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHXceeTJwoE But the persistence issue didn't scare some people, and they continued with their bases without the fear of losing progress. Check out this massive base made by ElementFireClan:
Or this one made by judderman2005:
A Reddit user jude_ned made an interesting post for all of you guys in the DayZ community. He made a couple of Reddit threads on history, types and exciting facts about the weapons that you can find in-game. He already covered Mosin Nagant and SKS. It's a quality read, check it out:
Let's also check out some nice pictures from you. This one looks like some surrealistic painting but it is, in fact, a Chernarus map! Don't ask me how it was made, I have no idea, but you can ask drumfish who posted it on the Reddit. It's just beautiful. Imdenkos shared a screenshot of his squad and they look scary, I don't think they are friendly, but they are dope! Snakevsplane bought a map of Chernarus and put it into a frame, so he is not going to lose it anymore. If you are interested in this map too, you can find it in our shop together with patches, hoodies and t-shirts. And the last picture is a photo by Ciiza, who lives in the Real Chernarus and wants to show you how it looks in Dubky right now. Can you recognize it? Modding is one of the most important things for the community right now, let me show some of fine things that I found. Guys from the Czech community (the same group also working on the BARRANDIEN map) created a really handy thing. It's an interactive map where you can see logs
