I've had a good go at 63 for the first time ever.. liking it very much tho i must ask, how much content is actually missing ? I was only finding hoodies and soft drink cans in maybe 2+ hrs of play on seperate servers.

Well i must say, look at all these old crusty buggers showing up here all the way from 2012 :D Good too see ! Yes, this applies too many i think. I havent played dayz sa since Novemeber. These days, everything does feel like it has been done and there isnt much variety left for us old timers. However there is still that yearn to hopefully see the game become alot harder with all the nice things like alot more infected, base building etc but other than that i think dayz peak is role playing aspects. I want situations to happen via word of mouth on a server where bandits are holding a small town and people know not to travel there without a group or you might be captured. I want to see big cities like cherno filled with infected and you cant enter the city with anything less than an armed team but there is alot of loot, high risk high reward etc. A while ago I thought we would have seen the first iterations of base buildling by now. Barricading existing buildings. Indeed it is going to take something truly special to recapture that magic for us from the devs but i guess I would say maybe modding community will do that for us.. hopefully

Very interesting! i had hoped to see soft steps with shoes off for a long time :D

Mee too.. i have been super patient. Havent played dayz since november. Smashing hunt showdown and rising storm vietnam in the meantime.. some kick arse alternative titles are out this year while i wait for dayz.. and wait and wait some more ^_^ Still always looking forward to Dayz.

Wow thats awesome its actually in. I guess the op hasnt played 63 and neither have I. I had always hoped that one day we would be able to take shoes and have not much sound at all. If glass(smashed) was a thing in game that would make a great 'sound trap' to lay at a door step while searching bigger buildings and if someone had no shoes on you would hear them 'ouch!' out loud in pain.

Yes indeed BB, The ones already asleep on the floor only wake up sometimes.. are they dead ? Give them a smack in the head too see and if you dont, always check your 6 if you are alone Yess DD I hope so. Deaf and or blind infected also. A possible, subtle, visual indication of this could be stained blood streaming from eyes/ears on the head.

I first posted this in screenshots and thought no one will see it and technically they arent screen shots anymore so i made a seperate topic. I use a bit of photshop and after effects and here is some concept style horror dayz pics i have made from screenshots taken in game. I call this one "The Welcoming Committee" I will have more to come in the future hence a topic ^_^ This one is a bit too dark, made it a few years ago..

Thanks, I will have some more banga's to post here again soon

Yes indeed and i would say pockets should be quicker to access than your backpack thus placing emphasis on particular items.

What do u mean grandbob ? Thats exactly how it should be, infected everywhere. If players are not prepared for alot of zombies they shouldnt play dayz ? Maybe you mean less server resources ? i hate full servers anyway, i want a zombie survival experience not this pvp shit fest thats been happening for years. When this game is ready i hope there is some lower slot servers with shit loads of zombies or something close to this idea.. i hate the thought of 100 player servers. That sais to me that the devs are giving a solid option for extensive pvp situations if this 100 slot idea goes ahead in due time which i beleive steers away from dayz original concept

Craters ? mm.. not a bad idea i would say. When i first starting reading i thought about the bomb craters i seen travelling vietnam in 2006 and indeed they were now water sources and fishing spots (the bigger craters) for the locals. I mean it would be nice to see maybe a few areas that would have been bombed, there is no reason why not. Atleast maybe one "scorched earth" area. To be honest my head is more so in the direction of more cars and debri that litter the streets or a long traffic jam leading the road up to green mountain. More civilian signs of "The Great Panic" if you will.

Interesting.. if they were spread across the map I guess performance would be different. The mod never realy had more than 500- 600 spawned at one time. I mean lets be honest we want to see 1,000s of these ugly bastards everywhere one day. Cherno alone should have 500 ^_______^

Wow i see nothing ?However!, I do remember getting issues with amd cards back when dayz first released and it was like a frosted effect on the leaves of the trees and i think i had to turn off AA or something.I was pretty game breaking and i found out the hard way games dont like amd cards much

Hopefully we will see something regarding nutrion value(s) bonus for eating veg, meat etc as i think its an idea that has been at the back of our mind(S) for quite sometime. It would make the extra effort for farming feel more wholesome also. Giving more value to having vegetables in general. The lying down for a temp stamina bonus is a pretty good idea i think too. Hell yeah kopo

Hey nice work. Very subtle too.Tho i think the survivor might catch a sniffle trying to sleep in the rain ^_^ Did you make this in after effects, the title etc ? I use alot of photoshop and after effects for years now its great stuff to get into ! KEEP IT UP !

This is a nice write up. I like what I'm hearing from everyone. It's all pretty damn exciting.I havent played any .63 but I'm not sure where I'm getting this patience from but I'm going to hold it and squeeze for as long as possible. Or untill I get a new monitor for my BEAST pc which im confused on what to get :D I have been looking forward to new infected sounds for a long time and the demonic snarls of yesteryear was way past its use by date but i do think the new sounds definitely need some work as others have mentioned. Do i post the good ole dayz horror concept video of the zombies running & screaming at night ? :P

yes i can vouch for this.. im in my early 30s now and use a computer waay too much (games and work)... carpal tunnel indeed i do get.. so important to remember those stretches and getting up to go for a bit of a walk

Ok so I've been holding off .63 untill its been out a little while and it has an actual "decent" amount of zombies. I want to jump into .63 when its at a good point. So you guys seem to be pretty impressed ? i hope more footage of .63 zombies emerge..

Hmm looking good, I havent heard anyone show or mention if tisy was a contaminated area yet ? I'm sure something like that was confirmed hence the chem suit.

Oh my golly, i cant beleive they mentioned my picture i made in the status report. Before i was scrolling down seeing others art, I was thinking " man i should tweet the devs the stuff i made " then BOOM its on the status report FUCK IM FAMOUS!! ...joke.. jus a shitty joke.

Did you make this lozz?. Very good short man. Good pacing, tension was well paced also. The infected make up was done very well. Nice shots too. Air soft weapons ? man i wish we could have them in Aus they are so good for film making. I'm self teaching VFX here in Australia. You understand film making quite well. Keep it up. Shit damn ima subscribe to fence post on youtube.

I made this with photoshop and after effects.. I call it "The Welcoming Committee" EDIT: i started a seperate topic for my pics could a mod delte this im not sure how

Communication. Interpret that to any and extent you want. Simple.

Hello Rekurv, Good question. I realy dont think the devs have touched on this since the announcment of gas masks. I'm sure they intended for them to have a purpose but its definetly been back seated for some time now and same with any kind of visual change for first person view with any of the head gear. Hats, glasses, helmets and especially the motor bike helmet (which i have always thought should muffle your hearing somewhat) and the glasses, hats etc reducing glare from the sun. bfisher, The name tags, that was only on the "regular servers" the hardcore servers had no name tags which is the way the game was intended. I can see the appeal of having your pals name appear close with in 10 meters, handy ? sure is, however if u actually need name tags in dayz well I dare say those peeps are playing the wrong game ^_^ (tho it would total stop the age old occurence of your freind changing clothing and not mentioning anything and you think hes someone else and shoot at him) <-- this just comes down to better communication.

Yes !! I've thought this for a long time and i think alot of people could relate. I always told myself dont pay to much attention to dayz sa but it was pretty hard not too. For the most part however alot of what has been placed in the game are ideas i have always wanted to see but alot of the original "excitement" isnt there anymore. I shall call it the "early access curse"
