Persistence outside the Map
Weyland Yutani (DayZ) replied to Grumpy Cat's topic in General Discussion
Persistence has worked in debug since the beginning (of persistence in SA). I've tested this several x. Hicks said this was disabled an update or two ago, its still active. -
Lots of new AAA games out this November.

Getting Black Colors Black
Weyland Yutani (DayZ) replied to Weyland Yutani (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
Then whatever it is, it shouldn't be called black! Call it brown. I see the words black, I expect to see black. There are a ton of things in-game that aren't realistic. Realistically, dried blood isn't red like it is in-game, its black. -
Getting Black Colors Black
Weyland Yutani (DayZ) replied to Weyland Yutani (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
Black raincoat (last time I saw one...which was a while back) looks like a poopy brown. Black leather vest is a chocolate brown, leather sack is the same. The only real black item i the ^ pic is the hat. The shirt and pants are like a burnt umber type color. -

[Poll] Official servers 1pp only
Weyland Yutani (DayZ) replied to robophant's topic in General Discussion
If Hicks goal is to drive the entire player-base -5% to private shards, then yes. Otherwise, it would hurt sales and destroy the public shard. Hard cold facts are 1PP is a super small group of players and forcing the public shard to play 1PP will only hurt DayZ in mores ways than one. -
I feel everything you said in your post. Cherno is my favorite city and the change is bitter sweet. But I do think the new Cherno looks so much better. The container yard at the south end of town looks so good. Big town hall building like Cherno should have. It has a realer look for lack of a better word.

Its really about time someone starts making noise about how little tools server admins have. Loot farming is a massive epidemic and its really destroying how the game is played. I'm constantly patrolling this crap instead of growing our community. We got players putting loot in bags that crushes server performance. The bags aren't despawning like Hicks said they would. We've got bags sitting there for weeks and weeks in the same spot. Its not even about the bags, its about the mentality. There has to come a time when admins get some better logs if communities are going to stay operational and in good standing. Its at the point where we're banning good players that just can't resist the temptation to loot farm quonset huts or anywhere thats farmable for high profile items I know the dev's are jocking admin abuse, but sooner or later admins are going to be abusive somewhere and the integrity of the game should come first for communities that actually give a shit. We need logs that show player movement and what they're doing just like the mod logs did with world-space coordinates and such. Such and such player drank a soda and where it happened. If anything just target the high value area's if they're worried about admin abuse. Make life for admins easier, please. This is a necessary tool.

Thanks you muchly Mr. Brian Hicks! -
Not sure if any has seen this picture in-game? Thats Cherno btw... That company is a real company, url below... http://blackelement.net I'm sure those images look familiar. BES is allegedly a subsidiary of Bohemia Interactive. If you go into the Portfolio>Vehicles section you'll see some interesting pics. Tatanko and I got on this topic a few days ago and figured it was interesting enough to share with y'all. Good day!

Are you referring to my response to you about the Twitter thing? If yes, I wasn't being hostile on my end. Totally calm and pointing out the facts. -

I see you're still raw from getting your shemps pushed in from our last few skirmishes so I'm just going to put you on the ignore list. -
Black Element Software
Weyland Yutani (DayZ) replied to Weyland Yutani (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
Our project DayZ Colony has 3 servers in the US since private shards became available. US-1 is more PvP, US-2 is mostly RP, and US-3 is PvE/Event Server. US-1 was ranked #1 for a few months until we got DDoS'd 2x in a month. We got back to #4 until this last patch. MPGS all of a sudden doesn't have an auto-restart function, so being stuck on a 24 hour cycle dropped us to #20 due to inconsistency in server restarts. http://www.insidedayzstandalone.com/ Thanks for the heads up, I thought I changed the clickable content from my youtube account to our main site. I've now edited that. :beans: Twitter is not email. Email is a mail delivery system, whereas twitter is short two sentence messages. Twitter isn't for peoples private lives like having an email is. Twitter is meant for public consumption. I've tweeted Hicks and Harton on server related issues, demo information, etc and get responses back. As for the rest of your post, I disagree. Nothing positive can come from that presentation. I mean, look at the amount of questions he got at the end...1. Kind of speaks for itself. -

What problems? We never saw them from his department, thats my point. So why bring it up? A big complaint from people that don't know the most basic concept of game development is: fix the game instead of adding new pants. We're always getting a lot of new 3D assets, to the point that people complain that we're getting to much of them and that the team should focus on core-mechanics. I fail to see the logic in kicking the suits dick in the dirt over something that never appeared to be a problem in the first place. All this talk does is make the entire team look like a bunch of schmucks which they're not. Improvisation is a key element in a project like this and it's worked. DayZ SA was a series of accidents that led to massive popularity and there was absolutely no way in retrospect that they could have been better prepared for it. Torchia's motives...unknown. He complains about all the work he's doing on Twitter...well, I don't see it. He posts every now and then and rarely engages the community. I've sent him a dozen tweets about the new tree models he said they were working on months ago and haven't gotten a tweet back about it once. Like new tree models are classified project-breaking intel. Its like a joke at this point where I send him a monthly tweet about the new tree's. -
[Proper Names 101] Quonset Hut vs Officer Tent
Weyland Yutani (DayZ) replied to Weyland Yutani (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
I would totally watch that video. I know I pronounce city names wrong and wouldn't mind learning how to pronounce them properly. Don't ask Chris Torchia though. If you saw his recent presentation you'de know what I'm talking about. -

After seeing the ^ video I have to question Torchia's motives. Shining a black light on the project doesn't do anybody much good. Almost looks like he's trying to get fired. Really shocked to hear that sort of content being openly talked about it. -
Location: Berezino Hive: Experimental BranchVersion: 0.45.12499 Seeing a light on in the top floor of a residential apartment gave me a flashback of home and how things used to be. When I was a kid living in the north-end of Boston, Wednesday night was always pasta night. I really do miss the time with my family. I shot this film during 0.45 Experimental and thought they added house lights. To my displeasure it was a road flare. I came up with the concept for this short film by accident and plan on continuing them as a series. Thanks for watching!

Actually it doesn't. 101 is a reference to an academic level of learning. For example, Math 101 is basic math. The most basic collegiate math actually. A lecture is another word for a class with a professor. TA's (Teacher Assistant's) usually follow up with a 'discussion' that reviews a lecture.
