Also I don't see how artificially zooming in "better represent(s) human vision" My eyes don't have zoom. If I want to see this screen better I have to move closer. That's all there is to it. I can't concentrate really hard and see better, I can only lean forward or get closer.

I don't think we should have the zoom at all.

I think we're too early in the engine's development to say. I prefer 1st person games and I've played most of the last few hundred hours in first but before that I played 3rd. When I think about it Dayz is probably the only 3rd person game I've ever played over a couple of hours such is my dislike of 3rd.

Basically 1st person players want to be able to play on 1st/3rd person servers and not be at a huge disadvantage. Imagine instead of 1st person and 1st person/3rd person servers there were just servers that we could all play on together fairly? Unfortunately instead of making this point they start insulting everybody and get angry. I've mainly played 3rd person but around christmas I starting playing on a first person private shard and it's just a much more intense game. Take Vybor Military Base for instance. In 3rd you can just stand at the wall and just about see everything happening inside. In first you don't know what to expect. It's a rush. I'd urge anyone with any kind of decent rig to give first a couple of hours. It takes a couple to get used to but once you play for a while and have some encounters you'll need to play 3rd just to wind down. p.s. Coincidence that berezino has a lot less walls in exp and the new cam is on it's way? p.p.s. I still play 3rd

dx12 in dayz 2 maybe

I think it's more likely the artist wasn't a science buff and based the art on the wrong source. Interesting find.

You miss the point which is they are all different types of zombies. It doesn't matter if they came back from the dead or not. To say they aren't is pedantic imho.

They do but there's a school of thought that thinks if they didn't die first then they aren't proper zombies. And they keep on informing us about it like it's some sort of divine knowledge. And it's bs based on a myth that became a fiction.

People should look into voodoo and the origins of zombies before they start lecturing people. The whole coming back from the dead thing is a fictionalization of a real thing where people appeared to be dead but weren't. They were just drugged. imo the people saying zombies are the dead come to life are the one's who are misinformed. The original zombies were humans drugged to appear in a coma and then later to basically be brain dead. Vice did a good doc on 'Colombian Devil's Breath' http://www.vice.com/video/colombian-devil-s-breath-1-of-2- That's part of the origins on zombies. Voodoo just used different but similar drugs (derived from puffer fish if i remember correctly.) What annoys me is people wanting to narrow the definition of zombie to the undead when that's just one of many fictional definitions. Someone walking around with no higher brain functions is a zombie imo. It doesn't matter how they got that way so stop lecturing us about it. Please.

Agreed. I'm not too fussed about weekly status reports either. It's just an arbitrary time scale. I'd much rather them based around releases/milestones. That way they'd have substance.

I have headBob=0; in my config but still used to get queasy. I've never experienced it before in any other fps. From what I've found having a narrow fov and low/stuttering frames per second is the reason for motion sickness. If I'm getting 20+ I'm ok but if I'm stuttering down to low teens then back above 30+ for a while I'll get it. Unfortunately widening your fov will probably have a slight impact on your frames. I found adding ssd helped a bit but ultimately we're are waiting for optimization.

patch/wipe is probably next week and going to be .57 not .56

Therein lies the issue. Are they going to make all the twitch streamers open their sub-only servers to the public? There's rules and rules that are policed. You could report the server in the normal way and see what happens. I've donated to servers but never for guaranteed private access and it's not something I see in my future but I've seen quite a few private shards go down in the last few months too so I've some sympathy with the server operators. Yes it's probably against the t&c but without donations there probably wouldn't be one, let alone two monster gaming servers.

How's it different to the many sub-only servers that various twitch streamers have? Not sure why you are quoting a rule about content creation either.

haven't read the full thread but pistol flashlights because they look a bit like scopes.

Are the slot sizes in stable going to increase for people who rent servers? The 75 person servers without infected seemed to run like a dream.

To get you to upgrade your pc.

I didn't die of starvation and also never ate berries or apples in exp but let's not pretend it works perfectly. I also never stay on the coast. The pattern is: Day 1 to Day 3: quite easy, tinned food every where Day 4: Panic start eating apples/berries Day 5: Pretend there's not a problem and everything is great. Day 6: As Day 5 Day 10: Go back to the old loot system. I love the cle and HATE loot spawning on restarts but this pretending cle is working perfectly is nuts. It's not working perfectly but we are getting glimpses of how great it'll be when it does.

I took a bit of a break and played arma3 and sa really suffers in comparison graphically. I cannot imagine the playing an arma2 mod unless I wanted to think sa was beautiful again.

The loot won't be "fixed" until 1.0 is released.

Someone posted this suggestion in the experimental thread so all credit to him when I find the post. It had been on my mind. BUT anyway wouldn't it be an idea for you guys to have a private hive on experimental just to catch the issues specific to private hives? There were very specific issues with private hives in .55 that weren't acknowledged/accepted until a long time after they were obvious to private hive players/owners. I'm not asking for an invite but what harm would it be having a proper whitelisted private experimental hive that you invited the staff, mods, streamers/youtubers onto to test. Like wobo testing your private exp shard has got to be a boon. Maybe invite people who own private hives as a thank you too?

yes i get that most times I join a server but I think you have the wrong thread. You wanted this thread: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/224844-exp-update-056127thebeast/

Yeah the mistake I made was elaborating:D Should just posted the gist and moved on. Not my idea (private exp shards) as mentioned either but a good idea imo and I think it would give a bit of love to the private shards in a time where they maybe feel like they've had a bit of a rough ride recently.

I don't care if it's invite only/whitelisted/blacklisted or a free for all private hive. I just think a private hive should be in experimental and they should use it to test the various scenarios private hive owners deal with or are likely to deal with. Private hive owners pay out a good chunk of change and they were more adversely affected by the last update than public hive servers so all I'm suggesting is some sort of experimental test of the private hive system. Maybe whitelist it but have it open to all? I dunno. I think we get the idea. I'm not saying let's have an elite etc. Invite everyone on here and reddit, whitelist them. Test shit out.

hmmm
