Could the op be anymore vague ? no example posted of what he is talking about. Does he mean the footage of running in .63 or what ? Generally if you come with an idea or something that needs to be changed because it isnt good, give us a little more to work with.

I indeed it really is hahaa. It will just take some time for all the goodies to be added over time.. I'm thinkn months.

oooh ! Well its been weeks since the repot said weeks ?! yee haa !

Yes, I will never forget the days of the over the top 'flies buzzing' sound. As soon as it kicked in you got a rush of adrenaline almost to the same effect of meeting another player, only this time they were dead. For how long tho ? who knows. Are they a fresh body ? is someone still close by ? alot of little scary factors came into play hearing that fly buzz sound (that was actually a bit to loud also). I think we would all love the dead player bodies to stay untill a restart, perhaps one day ^_^

Except for green and black rain coats. Only a noob would keep using a fire coat over those :P

One of the major factors behind not having a side chat is to entice people to communicate with radios etc. Simple as that. I'm guessing perhaps you never played the original dayz ? well that side chat was obsoloutley heinous for a game of its type.. the continous blue texting with players dribble all over your screen really annoyed mee. I was soOo happy when I first launched the standalone to see it was no longer there! Thanks again devs ! :D

Indeed, I think onedog was just having a bad time learning the dayz ropes :D

This is true but they dont mention anything about indoor lighting which scares me to be honest. Feb 27 status report states for lighting. This time, my contribution will be rather short. With the 0.62 update, we have introduced many changes to the world lighting configuration. With the upcoming 0.63 update, we have made additional changes to address: overall brightness during daytime dawn and dusk transition brightness issues improve nighttime and star read-ability Please note that following comparison pictures (0.62 vs 0.63 light config) are work-in-progress and do not represent the final state. It should also be noted that both pictures were taken on 0.63, which, compared to 0.63, also contains a number of colour improvements to environment assets (grass, vegetation, artificial objects).

Hello, Ive been playing Dayz for roughly 6 weeks now. Since the new update.. whenever i try to enter a server i get said topic " Bad version, server rejected connection " All my freindS who have it got it to work which makes me think im now fucking retarded.. Yes I have updated the arma2 beta aswell(94444).. when i updated it said " WRONG CD-KEY " what the FUCK?????. So after some stuffing around trying to get 1.7.2 to work, which i failed miserably at, i decide to roll back. Now it also explains in the last prompt you click before installing a arma2 patch " if you want to uninstall the patch you need to uninstall the entire game.. NOW.. is this bohemia's round about way of saying dont roll back ARMA 2 patches ?? (tried to roll back to the patch before 94444) I'm really confused by this becuase I tried to roll back, which was all good with the dayz patch but arma patch is what worries me.. Because even rolling back to what i previously had exactly(versions) it still sais this BAD VERSION, SERVER REJECTED CONNECTION when i try to connect to a server... even with appropriate older version(s) ??? This one really has me stumped :( have i broken the game ????? probably not... hmmm

blast from the past !

Ahh the old gamma exploit debate. The one true long time thorn in dayz arse. This along with the grass render distance would be the 2 most controversial topics of dayz since 2012. I do beleive we seen some information about night vision goggles in the past which i wouldnt say means we would see a change to gamma anytime soon but hey ill keep dreamn in the mean time :D

Yes, in my experience this is very much the case. The situation seems better than it use to be years ago, however I only play mostly on private hives. Im much the same.. i dont even remember the last time i seen a hacker but i always try to stick to private hives also but like i said above i think the hack situation is better than it was a while ago.

Yep, I just hope we have infected screams closer to the ones in that video rather than the "demoninc snarls" we have been hearing since 2012. Quite a common mis conception if you ask me when it comes to zombie sounds as they arent actually from hell ? or the living dead. We just need sick sounding people.

Oohh yes, I always remember seeing this concept video back when it surfaced and oh boy the potential got me excited... so i think i will take this oppotunity to repost the other awesome sound design concept video called "The Horror" Check this one out exwoll.. man i cant beleice this is 4 years old already.. some of my dayz fantasies are finally coming to life these days :D

Indeed, something that has always bothered me was the lighting inside buildings has always been terrible with arma games. It feels like the 3d obj's of the buildings dont obey the world lighting. Tho i must say, dayz the old cruel mistress she is, I defs excited again for the beta, especially now i have a new pc i spent $2,229(AU) oh man what I long time coming ! I hope the exp launch will go smoothly and I hope most understand alot of content etc will be added incrementally.

Hmmm.. interesting. I had prepared myself somewhat for the delay to happen for post holiday as i think we have all learnt from the past. So much new exciting stuff however I think i can confirm dayz fantasies of yesteryear may be confirmed for next year! I wonder how much hate these guys will be getting from the facebook bitches status report ^_^

Haa, good video snoop !

This is what i thought too. How long have you been playing dayz chaos ? Like most of the responses here it is way to easy to survive especially with the apple glitch and all as well. I'm sure 63 patch is going to be interesting and i think its going to come out reaaaal damn soon before the holidays so get pumped

Just another disgruntled user that comes on to the forums and doesn't discuss things properly with the people trying to converse with him with nice manners and hes acting too cool for school because hes angry at the game that he pays no attention too. Exhibit A. He's clearly smart too... Where do these people come from ? This statement alone is very brain dead. All i have to say is SUCK IT ! I'm glad you wasted 30 dollars

Well that just sounds like bad luck, I always avoided people when I use to play alot by myself and I actually got pretty good at it(avoiding). Knowing what routes to take when entering and leaving towns.. or leaving the same way I came in because I know that particular way was safe the first time. Hopefully you will have someone else as back up to play with one day, having just one other person is all you need to watch your back. An awesome tactic I have always used when I play by myself is this. When you first hear someones footsteps try to talk first. Lie to them, Let them know that you are with 2 other friends in the area. This obviously puts them into a position of feeling they have the lesser hand. This has worked well for me so many times when another player approaches you who is by them self. Just remember to speak with confidence and dont hesitate when using the mic Goodluck onedog and dont give up!

Not a bad niche idea at all.. I'm all for the small RP style elements. I hope when we can write notes again that they will stay somewhat persistent so someone will actually find them instead of disappearing on a server reset and make they stay for 24 hrs or something if it isnt in a tent etc

<3

Why was it taken out ? I want to leave creepy notes in peoples tents that I don't steal. And on another note, I think notes should be somewhat persistent rather than disappear on a server restart to invigorate more possible player interactions with said note(s) rather than always having to leave them inside tents, barrels and backpacks etc. So this probs would not work as alot of players just drop leftover bullet pack "paper" resulting in alot of persistent paper lying around. HOWEVER.. maybe if the paper has text on it doesn't disappear for a while longer perhaps ? I guess i could say this, in a round about way is me wanting to live out a fantasy of living in a secluded town and leave messed up notes around the place about a killer who lives in town and you should leave and then you see me lurkin completely NAKED with ghille hood and and axe coming for ya.. this is in dayz be the way.. I think notes is a super, interesting, untouched mechanic for interaction purposes for dayz. I hope it gets a little bit more attention one day.

Wow, that would be an effective technique against riot police.. I mean you know jus sayinn..

This is an amazing concept video by Game in Theory. He makes the best goddamn concept videos for sure. This idea seems like it would be a major hassle to convert all the trees to animate to different colours through said season by shit damn its a sexy video all the same. You guys should check out all his other dayz concepts also on his channel. Amazing stuff
