Yes sure, lets get rid of the zombies, someone could get hurt.

Gentlemen lets talk about the improvised bow. I think you should be able to take the bow apart after you crafted it to store it more efficient. That would be pretty cool.

Well i for one had massive problems with turning my character, it was like i was stuck in honey or something and then i would break free for a few seconds before it started again. That is fixed and i am very happy about it. But yeah, remove the damn acceleration, noone wants it, noone will use it when its gone.

Looking for something like this? http://dayzdev.tumblr.com/post/79960438354/weekly-report-a-step-into-survival

This logout timer is the best thing since the alpha was released.

Pretty sure rocked said thats not going to happen because of performance. They need to keep the zombies as simple as possible so they can eventually spawn a few thousand of them.

Well i'll be happy once i can get a Vss Vintorez.

So we fix the kos by shooting people on sight. Clever.

Oh look its this thread again.

Koyaanisqatsi - Philip Glass

Probably not going to happen because of performance. Left 4 dead for example can handle stuff like this because there are relatively few zombies per scene, compared to dayz where the server will have to handle a few thousand zombies (hopefully). To make that happen zombies have to be kept as simple as possible. Taking of limbs would require more hitboxes, more calculations per zombie and of course more animations.

It's all about server performance, stability and security right now. They are basicly testing how the server is handling a load of 50 players and how they can implement all the planned features without killing it. As a bonus they get enough bug reports to keep them buissy for the next months.

I dont listen to music while playing, but if i did my favourite would be Koyaanisqatsi by Philip Glass.

Ok, i'll bite. Your problem is that you obviously did not inform yourself and therefore are unable to contribute to the conversation in a meaningfull way. Apart from the obvious changes they made to the game, most of the programming time was consumed by changing the server-client architecture of the game. Client side optimization has not been a priority and it will probably not be for a while, since they still have to vastly improve the servers. So instead of flaming on the forums and shouting half truths and outright BS at the top of your virtual loungs, do us a favor and read up on a topic before you post.

In this thread people who don't understand how an engine works or probably what it even is discuss why an engine they know literaly nothing about is worse than other engines they know even less about.

Its been an alpha for almost 3 years now? You sure about that?

It's a magazin, not clip. And yes i made an account just to say that.
