Killfeed Fix: No More Mistaken Credits From Nearby Zombies or Animals

DayZStats accuracy update: cleaner vehicles, fairer totals, smoother pages
DayZStats has received accuracy and quality-of-life improvements across player history, vehicle data, and season totals. Cleaner vehicle entries, corrected classifications, more reliable movement statistics, and a smoother homepage make it easier for survivors to follow the story they are building on AfterHours.
Store improvements: smoother memberships and better Discord linking
The AfterHours Store is now easier to use and easier to support. Membership checkout, order confirmation, Discord account linking, supporter-role handling, and the optional Founders Wall have all received improvements designed to make purchases and community recognition clearer and more reliable. We have completed a substantial update to the AfterHours Store experience.
Killfeed, achievements, records, and leaderboards now update in Discord
AfterHours Discord now follows more of the action across Chernarus. Separate killfeeds for each server, automatic achievement moments, a live records board, and faster leaderboard updates make it easier to see the fights, milestones, and stories being created by the community. Discord is becoming a much more live part of AfterHours.
Safe Zones and no build Military areas
We have added two safe zones: Green Mountain and Altar, both with pvp and building blocked and a added well. Military zones have also been defined and have a no build zone. All zones have a enter and exit message for clarity. In the future we are planning more zones.
Live server status, raid timing, and a clearer AfterHours network
AfterHours now offers clearer live server information across the network. Check server status before joining, follow raid timing more easily, and keep track of the regular rhythm of restarts and raid windows when planning your next run, defence, or fight.
