JiJi (DayZ)

Hello, Question : About fatigue/stamania/weight feature, will it be implemented along with the new incoming display UI ? or later (pending on other content or technology change) ?

About contamined area : - Will it be distinguishable (ei : misty gas pocket, particle, ...) or will it require a kind of device detector ? - Will delimitation area be transitional (low risk on the edge) ? Could the area dynamically change (size,shape,position) or scatter/expell cloudlets across the map ? and even could be fully generated (tool for futur BR mod & SGZ event)?

To complete & add this question with mine : Do you intend to reduce BIS official servers number (as long as low level playerbase allow it) ?

Q : "Hardcore servers", still in the pipeline or abandoned?

You should set it "forced", otherwise just remove PP from the game (because 90% users are/will disable it if they could : since it make the game easier or put them on an equal footing with others)

Dean Hall wasn't a modder at any given time? See what his DayZ mod did to ArmA 2 ! Modders are content makers in the true sense of the term. Sure it may turn technic and not as sexy to "scrum" with low-charismatic nerds than with conniving vip streamers/youtubers. Well it depends if you want that to lead to some game improvements or game marketing...

hitboxes could not change I guess, I suggest you to take a look at Wobo recent video for more information. Something you have to keep in mind is : the more complex script (lot of "if / or / and / then") the more it's heavy and impact server performance.

Soft Skills The only way to downward trend of KOS/PvP. ...I cross my fingers and hope...

Does it mean 0.58 stable servers will also benefit of that performance increase?

Muzzle flash lifetime is so short that your eyes barely see it during daytime, and also because not great illuminance. It is a problem for video game (limited fps). Did you notice something in op vid ? -> always the same muzzle flash texture at each shot. ArmA series didn't have this issue, there were I think 3 different/random muzzle flash textures for each shot. This kind of "missing feature" will probably be fixed in beta. Then to have a compromise, I will suggest to have 1 among those 3 very faded and subtle.

So, how good (or bad) is this new 0.57.128128 version?

I know, we know... But you must know warning about that do not take away the sense of disappointment when it happens (Especially when expectations were high and the waiting was long).

Please don't feel hurt, I am not only seeing the negative side of things (but I cannot just ignore them). The game evolve and regress at the same time. So, for the time spent since 0.55 and how this futur update is presented, I have to confess I am globally a bit disappointed, and I wonder why or what is going wrong/slow.

Me too! Some time ago a nice mock-up/suggestion was posted on reddit, wich make more sense now since food & supplies will become rarer (CLE) --- And so, NPC bodies concept are also part of it (random events). +1

No status report for this week ?

I like the concept. But carefull : it's a sand box and open game, with not fixed background - so it does not belong to us to tell to others what happened. Each should be free to imagine what,when,where,how events occured. So I think it should not really be factual narrative, or otherwise assumed subjective and so inaccurate to let users interpret it (and build their own version). The other issue IMO is the language (just look town names on road signs). I don't say all should be written in Russian or slavic language, but if in English it should have a reason (international newspapers, embassy/tourist notes, leaflet U.N. / W.H.O. , etc etc ). I know, it is very restrictive :| (that's why I only tried image in my "Polaroid Discoverable Mementos" thread)

It's a game - not a scientifically proven simulation of ...(??)

Little bug : The "dry sound" of weapon (tried Mosin & CR), aka the *clic* trigger sound when empty could be heard wayyy too far (>30m away). Could someone confirm this ?

1- Impossible since DayZ have a limited number of objects on map.

I guess 10Hz , 15Hz (?) anyway I would not surprise me if tick rate tied to server CPU usage (overload -> downclock). It's an interesting thing to discuss, but probably not appropriate in this Exp 0.55 topic

I am distressed & I sympathise with you. "exciting times ahead" but alas, also complicated. Good luck.

Could someone ELI5 that "group AI" thing?

No ? Well, the ATLAS Bipod (ingame model) does.

Mosquito phobia people *should* play, it is a well-known therapy that to overcome a phobia you have to gradually face it. Once you subconscious admit there is no "danger" (It may take time), you will get used to it ingame and I hope also in real life.

About blood bag / transfusion... Please dear devs, take a look at this old topic. It might help somehow.
