i think with the tracing pretty much anything could be done in that direction.

github maybe? worth a try i mean this for the mod obviously, but i think they work closley together. https://github.com/DayZMod/DayZ https://github.com/DayZMod/DayZ/issues

OMG i can totally see an orb right in the middle of the screen!

The Road anyone?

but it also opens doors for misuse (Hammerpoint). and a game like DayZ would be therefore (strictly using the terms as per definition) at least still a year or even more be in "alpha". so with greenlight and kickstarter you cannot really use the "usual" definitions for "alpha" or "beta" anymore in my opinion.

i highly doubt anyone will wait for the full and final release. that could be in 1 1/2 years maybe. i think the actual model is necessary as many features and balancing are heavily dependent on the players and player behaviour, to create a benchmark of some sort for this game. however if they would consider a DayZ 2 some time later, they should maybe overthink such a model.

but Miffy is right to some extent. with all these Kickstarter and Greenlight games in the last years the lines seem to blur more and more. Although ppl see the games are basically unfinished/raw in the beginning they also see that many of these games more or less stay in a somewhat unfinished state. so kickstarter projects or something like the DayZ model are double-edged swords to me.

i think we can all agree that it is a bit confusing at times and dean handles information policies obviously quite differently than others. we got and still get used to it.

it won't help you to be pissed ;) we're all in the same boat, we just need to wait and see, as painful as it may sound

some basic character creation at the moment - hair color may be possible to change seperatelysport scope: for mosin e.g. can zoom in morebipods: have their own animation - benefit when in prone --> weapon resting?!?!batteries: they have a charge and will degrade over time (9V; NVGs, red dot systems... will need them)group spawning - nothing really done here, a lot of work still to do.chivalry-attacks: problem is balance and controls, a lot of work still to do.humanity-system: not sure what the answer is, waiting for alpharagdoll: they can do it, but it's dangerous to implement at this pointsplitting: can be used with (almost) all items that come in higher numbers (ammo, rags..)reloading: single round can be loaded into gun chambers without a mag attachedgrenadessunglassesbandanasquality of loot: loot at the moment is only pristine (so no jamming of wepons for example)food: quality(water - pepsi; apple - chocolate) of food may influence your overall health/character in some wayghillie suits: not done any yet, however they shall be worn over your normal clothesPayday heist-masksingame radios: support internet radiosinfection: you can infect items and spread the infection to othersanimatons: for some melee, for self bandaging etc.support TrackIR: yessupport Rift: most likely yes (50fps are the goal)...but let's seephysics: "bullet"-physics at the moment (throwing knives is not possible)weapon maintenance: not in alpha, a lot of work still to do.zeds: different hitzones cause different amount of damagemay cause always bleeding or infections in close combat restraining: you can now move while being cuffed.temp. personal findings: no visible breath from other players or zeds(yet) no animation when tearing clothing into ragsget rid of the cartoonish "wooosh" sound when punching someone!!Dean gets distracted and just doesn't answer some "inconvenient" questionsi wonder what happens with the blood fountains, i personally hate them"you no longer feel full of water" - -> so you can drink too much water with impacts on the player?you can't drink at the moment while runningbeing a lefti is more or less unintentional at this point feel free to help me

to sum things up: still a lot to domany things are very difficult to implement because it takes so much time/effortwe all will need to manage our expectations

there there

i would like to inform you about..... ROCKET2GUNS LIVE ON TWITCH STREAMING DAYZ SA edit: however channel gets spammed to nirvana, it's disgusting. wow

a friendly reminder: participating in an early alpha may, and i repeat, MAY ruin or at least alter your gaming experience very very drastically. Especially if one is desperately looking forward to a game. By the time the game reaches the level of one's own inner secret expectations it may be too late and the person may not be interested any longer in the product. so BEWARE and ask yourself Is the journey part of your destination or really only the destination your reward?

With the introduction of Utes in the SA - a new offshore island - ppl speculate whether there might be a huge, never seen before structure established. Which structures do YOU want to see ingame in the long run in the Standalone? What are your reasons for your suggestions? Any idea, where to locate them, or does it matter at all? Which PVE, which PVP possibilities would be emerging? What kind of loot would be possible and logical? Special Consumables? Could it bear a thrilling back-story with some shocking secrets and how could it be brought to the gamers? Do you think of special props to add to more depth? Do you have specific references? Keep in mind, what Rocket and his team are looking for (no artificial battle grounds; authenticity; depth; interesting for teams as well as for loner e.g.)! Please give your suggestions, as for myself I would love to here them! This site can give you very nice examples and ideas at the same time: http://www.urbanghostsmedia.com/ just some examples: prisons, mental asylums, sawmill/quarry grounds, old POW camps, stadiums, fair grounds, old bean factory, huge distilleries, ammunition factory, crimean sparkling wine production site, charcoal burning, power plants, shipyards/wharfs....

Which structures do YOU want to see ingame in the long run in the Standalone?a tiny village (a few buldings or just one) burnt to cinders. What are your reasons for your suggestions?a huge scenery that shows the scale of despair and horror in the "final" hours of mankind. Any idea, where to locate them, or does it matter at all?maybe a bit remote behind a forest or why not as part of a city (district) Which PVE, which PVP possibilities would be emerging?difficult, but the confusing mess with additional clutter maybe a perfect PvP location, where you could take cover effectively between ruins What kind of loot would be possible and logical? Special Consumables?mostly trash, maybe fire-fighting equipment, ashes (desinfectant,camouflage) Could it bear a thrilling back-story with some shocking secrets and how could it be brought to the gamers?the fire could have revealed a secret room, packed with war relics or poachers' trophies. relevant chronicles may be available in a local police department which would hint to a active poacher around that area. Do you think of special props to add to more depth?charred corpses, lifestock, furniture, piles of ashes

thank god klesh is not around

so assuming zed's would be the "proper" equivalent of their former human beeings, therefore you could sneak in different types of zed-behaviour: a slimmer person may be faster, bigger person may be stronger... i could also imagine that in very early stages of the infection zed's may still use tools or equipment, maybe not effiecently and not even purposefully but so that the have something in your hands that lets you say "uh oh" i mean it could make sense if you would think about a (at least "half"-) fledged life cycle for zeds. considering the outbreak was already some time ago you could say there are maybe only 5% freshly infected (more agile, faster, stronger, sharper senses)70% may show the "ordinary" zed behaviour (further stage)25% may be in the last stages of their life cycle, barely reacting, lying around, very weak, very dull senses etc.I think the first two stages could be considered for your idea.

but on mine it read choke

according to reliable sources invitation to closed pre-alpha was handed out in the following way: it reminds me of Ralph...

bricks

ahhhh horses....i don't really see them to fit into this game. they wouldn't be much more than a neat alternative to vehicles, bikes and helos and therefore maybe far too time-consuming and complex to implement. but what do i know. reference: please RDR for the love of god

now also on reddit. i wanted to bring this one up again to see how it will develop.. The interesting thing is how the "property" system actually looks / will look like.

tbh it seems to be too good to be true, but let's see...
