Yes for sure! I really enjoy all the possibilities the multiplayer has but a singleplayer feature is a must for when it comes to survival games. The feeling of being alone against all odds or to be the last possible survivor is oppressing and would add to the immersion. Of course I can hear some saying that it would be too easy with the zombies as they are and all, but by the time the game hits beta or is finished, the final product will be stable enough to provide an enjoyable experience. Let's not forget that without having to manage all this data server side, the number of zombies could be far greater since they could only make them spawn in a certain radius of the player and not the entire map. (Dean already said that a thousand simultaneous zombies on the map is possible, but no items or players could spawn without taxing the last bandwidth resources.) I'll always play mutliplayer for all the interactions with other survivors, the kos joys, the good times playing with friends, the intense pvp action and overall feel of the experience, but I would love to have a singleplayer option with multiple levels of difficulty to have some casual play or hardcore survival. Think of Project Zomboid with it's "This is how you died" quote. It's basically what "This is your story" means in DayZ so a big yes to single player. After all, it's only an option so people can avoid it, and the company would make more money reaching players that don't necessarily likes online games.

Yes, also following blood spills on the ground would be very nice! Tracking someone like that would be very interesting as if you're not the one who shot, you might get to a dead end or even bodies on the ground of recently deceased. (we'll see if they boost the despawn timer in the future, even zombies despawn way too quickly imo)

I really like the idea. :thumbsup:

Experienced the same thing... Alpher?! :rolleyes: Not really fun, but to be expected...

Thanks for sharing!! Fun little bit of RP! Really enjoyed watching your video mate!

Well, I usually play on Katastrophe! hardcore server. It's Katabasis' server and has light RP in it. Of course you'll get killed, (don't trust the Rangers) but it's still far more interesting then just running around getting shot as a new spawn... http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/163031-stop-im-the-sheriff-of-berezino-we-need-to-talk-vids/ I've met a lot of players there and haven't been shot once yet, but had some very interesting encounters. I don't know any other RP servers though... Check it out if you want!!

:thumbsup: Tough to read but I get the picture. DayZ is a very unique game... :beans:

This kind of "satisfaction" is disturbing. I know there are scumbags on this planet, I mean, in real life, psychopaths enjoy hurting people and such, same as bullies who feed on the pain of some individuals, but man, always laugh when seeing such behavior... It's only a video game, and there are some rules to follow as there shouldn't be "pve" servers, but the part about feeling "satisfied" for killing some player who is no threat to you? ... :emptycan:

I remember having fun with it in Breaking Point. Good weapon, but too much bling bling to be anything serious...

Last ones since this thread is dying. Hero in the rain...

I played for a while yesterday but didn't encounter anyone. (I don't often join TS for RP factor and I'm not a native english speaker...) Can't wait to see your footage Sinphaltimus! :thumbsup: Just tried the experimental servers some more before they went down, but it was still KoS/FoS fest... :rolleyes: Haven't seen deputy smiley or the sheriff in a while, and last time I went to Berezino I shot every zombie I saw (they were all at their original spawns) and didn't encounter any survivors. It was a ghost town after that. Anyway take care fellas!

Well, thanks for sharing!!! :D :beans:

Sadly right now the engine is too unstable. The internal testing had maxed out to about a thousand zombies at the same time on the entire map, but without any loot or players other than a few devs and even so it was extremely laggy. We'll see how they make out for that in the future.

Really nice! Thanks for sharing!

No, please no. Not in DayZ SA. (there's already some DayZ mods like Epoch that have safezones with vendors/NPC in them. Until they add those to the stand alone, I don't want safezones...)

Recently since they added the new town Svetlojarsk, I've seen a lot of activity there. It's fairly close to the NEAF, and within the town itself, you can find everything you need and more. Also players are curious about the police station and medical clinic. Can't blame them, those are lovely new additions. Great little town if you ask me.

Been playing between 9PM and midnight EST. Haven't seen the guys in a while though. I hope we can get this small community back together, I really enjoy my time on Katabasis' Katastrophe server!

Some say it's due to having items from pre-patch. Since there was that FPS/memory leak problem, I was playing on the experimental servers because there wasn't any problems of such in them. Then the patch/fix came and I decided to give it a try. Played on my favorite hardcore server for about an hour and a half, and then I crashed. Logged in again and crashed for about 4 times in a row. Just to test it out, I went back to the experimental servers and haven't crashed since... There might be something else affecting the stable branch right now. We'll see how it turns out.

That's one big guillie suit!!!

The suppressors don't work for now as there's no SD ammo with proper grain either, yet. It's clipping bug in the inventory is known and tell fix it. As for most sounds, they're gonna change/get fixed. The zombies sound the same as the zombies in the mod when it first came out so there's still lots of work to do.

Really enjoying this series! Thanks for sharing!

I heard you had issues with gameservers, are you gonna rent from another provider? Does this mean the end of Max Neeson? I hope we can get together again! I joined often during the past 2 weeks but there wasn't many players on. Take care Katabasis and I hope you get this issue fixed soon without many troubles!

Yep. Just go play on the experimental if you wanna enjoy no fps loss. It won't be long till they fix the stable branch and we can all resume our "normal" "test". ^_^

Played a version of the mod (Namalsk 2017) that had it instead of the usual matches and I use IRL too so it's a yes for me!
