Thanks guys, reading your status report is a ritual in my life ;) ahahah I'm still over hyped to try out 0.63 !! I want to fight coasters with combos and parade like Dragon Ball Z (lol ok I'm out) I'm asking myself from a long time how to force players to interact much more with each others, and the only answer I've always found was to play with the difficulty button. When the environment will be so aggressive that you cannot survive alone, players will be forced to cooperate. We need more Z and plenty of hostile wildlife. I just love wolves and cannot wait to be attacked by bears ! I know you have issues with performance and the number of Z, hope you will find a way to put 100k Z on a single server with hordes :P I will always remember my first play through on the Arma 2 DayZ Mod, I arrived on a GMT+1 server, it was so dark and the moon was in the same place than IRL, I've shitted myself so hard... Your work on 0.62 brought a lot of immersion, these kind of feeling with a much more hostile world will force players to shit themselves back ;) Cya in Chernarus

Thanks for the report guys ! :) This new sound system and the upcoming new player controller are huuuuge game changers !!

be very careful ^^

You deserve to be hired by BI ;) Nice dude. This gamma issue is really worrying. A while ago, I thought about a system where players should buy "live sensor calibration device" for their monitors, the calibration device will check the gamma of the screen and report to the server like an anticheat system, good idea ha ? ^^ I know, this will maybe happens in one century. ^^

Hi there, I agree with you Wili, You should be able to store 20 to 30 weapons in a single barrel, so the storage capacity of all the container in game aren't realistic, that's a fact, I hope they will increase this in the future but I have a doubt. Wow, 8 days for a barrel and a tent ? Are you sure ? If I remember correctly, in 0.59, it was 40 days ! DevZ didn't say anything on this (?) 8 Days, you've got to play everyday if you want to maintain multiple camps... it's impossible. (going to lost barrels :() cya EDIT: of course DevZ talked about it, don't know how I missed it... on the last status report: I like this new system, but 8 days is a little bit short for a barrel and a tent to me.

I'm losing my latin guys... I know from the very beginning that this game is going to be one of the best game ever created, I said that to my friend even when they were like "nah, dev time is too long, this will never end blablabla", I've always remained positive about your job. I have to say that this 0.60 version is... !:;,ù*$^#{[#\|\^@`\]\] Can't wait to see what you are going to do in the future especially on the player controler's side. I love this status report, Keep up your good work guys, I really appreciate it. Cya :)

Yeah ! +1 I kinda like the rendering of optics in insurgency:

Cool idea ! :)

Thanks for the post Brian, I think it's a good move too, your communication is getting better :) It's clearly a good idea to don't give release date anymore, it always fails with game dev. <- especially in France ^^

Hi GuyZ, do not watch this video if you have heart issues ...... I almost died watching it, everyman's dream... DayZ will clearly be the best game ever with a map like this... Vehicle will be useful... Choppers will be amazing... High mountains with snow, uncrossable rivers... (you could try but you will probably die) lot of predators, you've got to hunt to survive and you only encounter others human being from time to time, so rare that you don't shot them and just want to talk to them to get help ! A real survival game :P Ahahah ! I'm dreaming I know, but not as much as the author of this video lol... I hope modders will practise magic and create amazing maps ;) I know it is clearly impossible to have a single server running a map like this, but it would be so cool if we had multiple servers hosting the map as a cluster, so when you go from one map to another, you change server with a loading screen, and pooof you are on the next part of the map :D

Hi guyZ, It would be cool if there was a system like: you die at berezino, you cannot respawn near this city for the next 30 minutes, even if you suicide to try to spawn there. I explain myself, last time, I was at Solni' when I started fighting a 4 man squad, I killed three of them, but in the mean time, one of them just respawn next to the city, so he came back and looted his own dead bodie to take back his weapon and his gear to fight me again. 4 guys to kill was Ok but not 5 ! Is anything planed on this problem ? Have a nice dayZ guyZ

Of course, not everybody I think you should be able to loot your own body too. Especially while the game is in alpha/beta and you can die because you walked on a little rock... This was just a personal statistic I've maid, I read a lot of people saying you should not be able to do that.

Well, this was not the first time it happened to me, and I think it happens all the time. How many times I killed a guy in a spawn area (like cherno) and he was back 5 minutes later to try to kill me... I don't have a number, but it is huge ! Everybody agree that you should not loot your own body, but you can spawn right next to it ? There is a problem here. When you die in a game like DayZ, you should not have a second chance.

Well, I think this will be maybe too much ^^ We're not playing guitar hero here :D I would prefer that devZ work on something more useful than this and will be happy if there was just a playing animation when you sit down with the guitar, you've got to play live with your own guitar dude ;) If you don't know how to play guitar, you could broadcast a pop/folk song with your mic as well. :) Sorry for the topic revival Orlok, I won't do it again. But if I read the rules, I cannot open a topic which is about an already existing topic :( MIDI will be crazy :D I know that bohemia are crazy enought to do that, I'm playing Arma since operation flashpoint and spent many thousand of hours on Arma2/Dayz, but still, I noticed last week that the sea has a tide effect :O LOL ! These guys are crazy !

I need to revive this topic, because this idea is awesome :) Played several times some guitar on this game, but with nothing in my character's hand :( It would be super cool to have this kind of instrument in the game, it will add a lot to the atmosphere ! Guitar is the most played instrument in the world, so, there is maybe no need to have much more instrument, but maybe a harmonica would be cool too ;)

Hi guys, All is in the title, It would be cool if we could write with a pen the bloodtype directly onto a bloodbag. Didn't find someone talking about this on the forum but maybe the devZ are already thinking about it.

That's the idea Zimorak ahahah Well if you are stashing your bloodbag into a barrel or something else for your own use, maybe a fridge in a near future xD you can use a code that only you will understand, so if someone find your stash and take your blood, he gonna die ^^ A code like: A+=O+ A-=B+ B+=O- etc... ^^

okay guys, this is the consecration of all my work on the 0.59 version ^^ my last character, the last stand before the 0.60. I stashed a lot of stuff since the begining of this version, had almost 15 barrels, on a private 1PP hardcore server, so kind of hard to keep anything on this kind of server, but I succeeded doing it it with my little crew ^^ We are very good for hiding stuff :P Last week, I tried to find nettings for the first time on the 0.59 (not really, I tried in the begining of the 0.59 but they were just no nettings to loot), 10 hours to find all the nettings, when I was looking for the last piece I needed (after 9 hours of hardcore farming), I found another 7 nettings in 15 minutes, so I crafted another ghillie for a friend. So damn lucky... This is my fourth ghillie I think on the standalone. Clothes: M65 Jacket, TTSKO pants, Smersh Vest/backpack (ruined, took a shot with it :/) Weapons: SVD (with ghillie gun wrap) and AKM (with 75 drum, suppressor, PSO1-1, handguard rail, bipod, flashlight & ghillie gun wrap) I think I'm gonna throw away the flashlight, not really compatible with the ghillie gun wrap... That's it ! If you kill me, then it's christmas day for you ;)

Hell yeah, you've got my beans There are some even larger backpack, my personal backpack is the tasmanian tiger G82 (i don't have the camo version of course), but still, there are 3 attachables pouches for this backpack, would love to see one of these in DayZ :) and there is a compartiment to store a weapon in it. https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2087/1558909911_b2bb911f9f.jpg

Well, at the moment, you can't see any tent if you're not in a 100 or 150m perimeter... The problem with choppers is that there is not a single forest in the game with a real canopy which make impossible for helicopters to see under the woods... That's the main problem for me. We need real dark thick forest :)

Hi everyone, can't find any dev talking about dead bodies persistance, can someone show me a recent topic where they're talking about it ? I'm resurrecting this topic because I think the actual timer for dead bodies is really too short. When will devs increase the timer ? I know it affects performance to have a lot of dead bodies everywhere, but we - alpha testers - are becoming crazy to not be able to loot a body because it disappears while you were trying to finish the remaining members of the crew you were fighting to. a 30 min timer would be really appreciated for bodies of players killed by other players, and a 1 or 5 minutes timer for players who commit sucide (lot of sucide on the coast) It's rare to see a gunfight last longer than 30 min, but real gunfights always last much longer than 10. have a nice day
