civilian balota would be great, would add variety and let them bring back the southern spawns

Great idea, i'd make bandits dig their own graves before execution...

If the active community gets smaller it can only be a good thing for the remaining players. I've played every experimental patch i can mainly because the player interactions are so much more fun simply due to the type of players on experimental. Its like distilling alcohol, each time your left with less, but its finer quality.

Experimental has got alot of rubberbanding because the server framerate has become so low due to having to keep track of so much (animals, zombies, players, loot, physics) that when a player runs around corners at speed the server cannot keep up with your quick changes of direction as you go around the corner and so it just 'sees' you running in the wall instead of going around it. Then you just carry on thinking your in one place while the server still 'sees' you running into that wall. Then when you get far enough away you and the server communicate to check where you are and thats when server puts you back to where it 'sees' you, eg 'rubberbands' you. You can prevent it happening if you walk slowly around geometry and take big arcs around corners. When they optimize the server more it will go away. About the new driver, does anyone know if it has a sli profile configured or if we have to configure one manually like before?

Have you seen the navmesh pics? Surely arma 3 mods would be the things to play if you don't want zombies? Personally i can't wait for the pvp 'fuckfest' to die down a little...

in version 44 a nasty little bug was introduced that has yet to be acknowledged on the bug-tracker. If you pick weapons of dead players you cannot fire them until you relog into the game. This bug is still present in the current experimental so we need to ensure its acknowledged so it doesn't quietly hang around in the game for ages. I made a bug report, please upvote it! http://feedback.dayzgame.com/view.php?id=10844

1000th post!!!! I have never met a confirmed hacker, and i have 250+ hours

i really, really hope this never happens, it looks ridiculous.

I'm salivating over that well cooked fillet (and your framerate)

anyone else suffering worse frames in general?

for sure gamma exploit cant be fixed but it could be made infinitely less simple and convenient to do. As it is now it doesn't even feel like your exploiting as the game makes it so easy to do. If it was a pain to do and the game made it clear it didn't want you to then many people would stop it and as long as a critical proportion of the community stop doing it the problem largely goes away. Never underestimate the power of inconvenience to produce behavioral change. p.s. i LOVE the night as it is and on a night with no moon you really cannot see ANYTHING.

Im with you there, a vz 58 and vz 52/57 would be so great in this game

yer i'd be happy with some paint thinner. There are so many industrial areas on the map that some industrial chemicals would be work well in the loot pool. Nitrate fertilizers, ammonia, Antifreeze (cure is vodka :) ), Could make very primitive chemical weapons and the such.

this is great news, now the m4 actually makes sense in the CZ.

you must both use the sks

In a real zombie apocalypse after the dust settled and only the immune were left the biggest problem they would face after food, water & shelter would be loneliness, depression and (worse of all) mind crushing boredom. Now i'm not suggesting Dayz tries to replicate this by making the game mind crushingly boring but i do think it should offer players other things to do than kill each other, or find the tools to kill each other, or repair the vehicles used to run away/too people trying to kill each other, or build the bases to stop people killing each other. I'm suggesting things that have no survival functionality other than too make surviving worth it. I'm talking about trying to put a little fun and comfort back into a life in the zombie apocalypse: For instance: Chess Board Pack of cards Guitar Harmonica Tea Bags Instant Coffee Cigarettes Pipe Vodka (The books are a great start) I won't bore you with the details of how i think they should be implemented as the devs could likely do it better and you can probably imagine how they might work. Playing cards would probably be the hardest to implement but it would just be so great to be able to pass the night round a fire playing a few rounds of poker while passing round the vodka bottle. If you've played Stalker and seen the groups of survivors chatting around barrel fires then you know what i mean, the RP potential of these items is huge. I guess none of this would be implemented before Beta stage but it would greatly enrich the final game IMHO.

Yer describing them as 'minigames' may have been foolish, I agree that you should be able to look around at your surroundings while playing. A few large bars with pool tables would be pretty great.

This is completely perfect, I had no idea such a game existed. If dayz bought the rights to use this in game it would be incredible

the beauty of it is that is automatically generated so no one has to spend half their life drawing little lines all over the map. Going by the results in the pictures where even complex buildings had paths generated in them if anything it will allow the artists a lot more freedom to design more complex structures.

that might become very relevant when player made structures are included down the line. Also for some reason I find that mans voice very unsettling.

im with you on the gamma exploit but its really not too dark, just turn on the flashlight.

a chess system something like this would be awesome: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5syEs673QI

I'm usually on the front line of the realism brigade but this would be a good compromise in some cases IMHO. Classic example is the nagant M1895, that thing is so iconic and would be great in game but it uses a completely unique round, which would just bloat the loot tables even more, i say the devs just swallow hard and make it chamber the .357 rounds, however nonfactual that may be.

they were everywhere before the shotgun came in, and then they mysteriously disappeared in the same build that the shotgun came in, the guy must not have logged in for a couple of months (or just survived for ages).

250 hours and i've found 2 stab vests, 1 press vest and 1 lrs. Hilariously my current char has 6 green shotgun shells that i got from a guy on the berezino construction site. Im tempted to see if they work.
