And, with this on mind, and Shinkicker having it done in the last release thread (2.0.1), I feel like I also need to write this note (this is a personal note and does not have to reflect any of the other teammembers thoughts/opinions)

On to our notes:
After the wonderful times we've had coding and playing DayZ 2017, it's time to say our goodbyes to DayZ 2017, and move on to even better things. We want to thank all of you for your continous support, and want to apologise to you for waiting so long with this release.
To give a bit of information as to why the update was so delayed, it was our intention first to release 2.1 not only with basebuilding, but also with the new DayZ version (1.7.6). This unfortunately, took a lot of time, and after about 2 weeks of coding and testing, we had to give up on getting it to 1.7.6. It simply takes too much time for us to get that done, and we think we can invest our time even better in our newest mod for ArmA 3.
We hope you enjoy/have enjoyed your time on DayZ 2017, and again, we want to thank you for your continous support! You guys are all amazing people.
And, with this on mind, and Shinkicker having it done in the last release thread (2.0.1), I feel like I also need to write this note (this is a personal note and does not have to reflect any of the other teammembers thoughts/opinions)
After about 2 years in the DayZ community, I feel like my time has come to say goodbye to all! My life has become a lot more stressful in the past months, and due to that, I have had an inability to mod for a while (this is another reason why 2.1 was delayed).
Including our new mod for ArmA 3, I simply do not have any time left to stay around these forums, or in the DayZ community in general. I will remember you guys though: as was already stated in the quote above, you are all amazing people.
