just for ppl asking about the engine from this thread http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/64091-dayz-standalone-will-use-real-virtuality-4-engine/

dose any one have the info/specs on the Real Virtuality 4 engine how flexibly will it be for dayZ i'm guessing that rocket will be allowed to "re-jiged" that engine as he will need an engine that is more specified for dayz

i was just wondering if they was still on the "yer this is gonna go in list" cos i havent hurd rocket talk about them lately and iv check all the interviews hehe including all the rezzeds ones

Game Purchase would be best but on the other hand i would be happy with it as an "expansion / dlc" for Amra 3 "guess that the new standalone would be ported to amra's 3 engine" but as u have been saying in interviews some of the "spawning mechanics just are nor well suited for amra's engine, i think it should remain "indie" to help keep it out of the BS that comes with studio's "rushing games out and what not" if the "minecraft modle goal" is not looking like it would work, then i would say go with kickstarter also as for servers depends on how you want to servers to work. i would like to see a map and server that could hold large numbers of players, like 200 odd and have those server apart from normal community hosted servers. A, to help prevent server jumping and ghosters to keep them more like a "hardcoreish like server" so you can't just gear up on an empty server, then to go to a 200 man server just trying to kill all with the as50 B. for a more intense experience, as at the moment when u head north you can not run into a signal person for days. i think a larger server would be good for that and make it more fun. so yer both commity servers for every day fun, then a a few central servers for the more hardcore fun that are more tightly controlled and i would pay a low fee to be able to join a server like that if it would be requried eg £5 for the month to play on a biger controlled server that had there own charters on them

Hello one and all, i was just wondering, with rocket focusing on new ideas and underground stuff. he did an interview with some one at E3 and said he was thinking about adding in radio towers that we could fight for and get up and running, to use raido's to talk to ppl as in a way globe chat use to. is this idea still in the works or has it been binned cos will will clog up the surface world and course to much lag? cheers

with tents there seems to be the 1st time lost save, so in other words set up tent -> put something crap in it (like a tin can or something) -> save it --> wait for the server it reset normaly give it a day --> tin can = now lost to bugs (dam them hungry bugs!) now you can save everything in your tent and will work, ofc there is still a chance that them hungry bugs will return. always log out with ur inportant poo with you in ur bag/person

the term is called ghosting ;) and rocket is testing alsorts of ways but waiting for one that works :) but when its sorted hopfuly no more ghosting and no more dam alt-f4 you guys s**k i killed you so give me ur loot! hehe

why can't we just have a WoW style of timer / logout setup?

is it a case of people are alt-f4 ing to try to save there loot? as i had this killed 2 guys and the one with the better weps body was gone within secs. but the other was the normalish time of around 2mins. can alt-f4 ing when killed remove your body?

got a question regarding this.. me and a friend today we killed 2 plays, there names came up on the bottom right as "so and so has been killed" but i think they alt-4 or something, as there bodys vanish =O, if i killed some one, there dead on the floor and its came up on the server as player killed, and if they d/c or whatever it is they do. will they relog/respawn with there items? cos we had a guy with a .50 cal about to take are car, lucky we killed just before he enterend he fire a shot but missed, went to the floor, name came up as killed, and his body vanished seconds after he went on the floor so we could not lot him :( will he of lost his stuff? will he repsawn as a new char? or will he spawn back where he was "killed" with all his things?

lol u ppl dident see this coming, rocket said he was going to rezzed ages ago and i agree that he should show it on the floor 1st, better showing something new at a trade show other than something that already out ;) can't wait to see rocket and the game down there on sat. as i live nere that show. stop moaning the game is in a good playing state atm with .5 yes it has its bugs but remember its alpha, not beta and no where near release ;) any hay bring on rezzed i hope it goes well, will be good to have a PC focussed trade show. and good luck rocket

Hello i dunno if this has been put out there, but could there be a sort of "character log screen" because i play solo a fair bit, but i also play with a few friends, hears the deal i want to be able to play on my own when i can without worrying about dining, walk to far from where we all last logged out and what not, and then have a char that i can have focus on beaning with my friends, ofc there would need to be a restriction which would prevent 2 chars been logged onto the same server so eg, char 1 last logged off uk 1, therefore char 2 can not log onto uk 1 as there is a char active on that server, to help prevent server jumping and loot hoarding. but yer i hope this make sense :) just want to help what u guys think? do i need to explain more?

You think everybody should be in the same place? Then everybody should have access to every vehicle, every weapon, every bean. Life is not fair, this game is not fair. Some people get their stuff destroyed by buggs or cheaters. "I lost my stuff to a cheater! Reset everybody's characters!" i aggre with resettting every chars from time to time during major releases, how every there should be warning about before hand, in its own "locked" post hehe help stop cryers

1.7.2 wont be out befor rezzed that rocket is going to this weekend it might be at the show floor but i bet we wont get it till after rezzed as it will be a nice selling point for him so dont worry ppl, any hay rember every one hes just testing ideas on this current engine, one hes happy with it all, we will see the shift to the standalone that he is making for dayz on the new engine ;) so chill out ppl its good as it is, yes we all want some new bits added, but u all missing the bigger pic, with the group ideas he wants to add like building lighting / radio station / and all sorts hes got much better things to come than just weps and zeds improvement ;)
