Great post, the note about Vybor is great. It seems elektro has the highest chance based off your data.

Awesome.

The dev tracker linked to a reddit post about a month ago... I don't remember who said it but it was something like this.The team is working on a new AI sensor method that will be at engine level. The current AI sensors are at script level so they are both performance hungry and not very flexible. Once the new sensors are in place they expect to support a large amount of all AI types that will enable stealth gameplay in a great way. They also suggested the goal is thousands of zombies per server. So if the new sensors, vehicles, and barricading are in place for the holidays, dayz will probably hold steam #1 sales even through the steam winter sale. My most anticipated feature is zombie bears. The devs have never even confirmed it but you dont see me raging. (Yet)

What is pathetic is people that run to their previous characters dead body and get their gear back while their friends camp the body. Want to talk about realism? How about we start right here.

People say that the standalone doesnt have a culling method in place yet, you can bet that when they do add in some sort of culling you will see a huge performance boost on every system, especially in towns. Culling is useless in a forest as you may know OP, thats why the performance is usually good there for most players. But in a city, where each one of those tall apartments is holding >20 items, culling is going to be a huge help.

It was more joke than anything really, although the type of player OP is defending/claiming not to be, really has no place in online games at all imo. If someone asked me to kill him so he could get a respawn to be with his friends, guaranteed I would kneecap, bandage and feed him.

My advice is to delete dayz

If you honesty enjoy this as much as i do, then there was never a reason for you to leave. I plan on making a gallery thread some time in the near future but ill post a story only version just for you OP. It was a rainy night in Stary. If you are looking at the front of a piano house, I opened the right side door and saw a man trying to get something off top of the dresser nearest my door. I had a blaze, loaded. Instead of drawing my blaze i put my hands up. The man saw me and it must have startled him as much as me, because he juked over to the stairs immediately. After some time i finally was standing in the streets with him, probably offered him some items I dont remember. This was when temperature was a serious problem for players, so i asked him to help me make a fire. We ended up doing barrel rolls around our campfire at the edge of stary, after we both stuffed our faces with food and drink. The man continued to roll into the tall grass, way past the glow of our campfire. A couple minutes passed and he didnt return. I put up my middle finger in the direction he had gone, and shot a few rounds off into the sky. I logged out in the bushes nearby, that was a good night.

Yes check the Dev Tracker section of these forums, vehicles are coming very soon.

You should probably just log in and try for yourself. I killed a zombie with a crowbar just last night, in about 3 hits. I think in september the melee was very broken, even with an axe it would take a dozen swings. Since then they have made a fix to how melee hit detection works and also fixed the damage.

Enfusion is the name for the engine that is being built around dayz standalone. It isnt being ported like you imagine. Technically dayz has been running on enfusion for months now.

Brumey, were you using a mic or text to talk to the other players?

Does anybody know why these servers reset characters? I am assuming they are cracked or something, if you rent a server from one of the official GSPs why on earth would they allow this to happen still?

If they ever add megaphones, i am going to run for mayor of elektro.

Ok im going to explain in the OP how this worked last year. Alot of confusion.

Yes but it is pretty easy to figure out if youre dealing with one of them in game. Same as always, don't expect anyone to be friendly and be careful.

Last year it worked pretty well, and there was only a few days notice. With 2 months notice I am hoping more people will participate.

I really like your idea of 1 channel, text only radios pilgrim. I hope the devs read your post, this would make playing alone a lot more fun. As you said, with TS the realism in communication is totally ruined, I would like to see radios cover the whole map so that they are comparable/better than ts.

If you press P while in game it will show the players list, do this then click your username, some of your friends, and some randoms. Pay attention to bandwidth and desync. Both should be as close to 0 as possible. This may help you find a server that runs well for you. I have read that maybe alot of the lag players are experiencing is related to "container inception". Ex there is some clan on the server, and they all have handguns inside hoodies inside jackets inside their pants. I figure as the player count goes up, so does the chance that someone is doing this. What makes it worse is that most of the players doing this take it to the extreme.

"Persistent storage stability, as well as transportation, and A.I. redesign are goals we aim to be able to begin implementing into our steam branches before the Christmas holiday." From this week's blog post. In case anyone missed it.

I thought at the end it was going to ask me to donate to unicef or something.

Lol and neither of you answer him. The .50 update was delayed due to a crash they want to fix first.

as you said it is basically confirmed that the developers will not add any npc. Modders though, i expect this will be one of the things the steam workshop will be popular with. You may have noticed dayz epoch server owners regularly ask for people to make custom scripts for them, with the standalone this will probably be the case as well. Want to play dayz zelda with quest giving npcs? Theres servers for that. Want to play counterstrike elektro? Servers for that...

Where did you read that Yazar?
