Big and heavy things should be really big and heavy so they force the player to walk or sacrifice a lot of gear and so on. Things that come in my mind are: Barrels (Requires two hands and needs to be empty. Because of the shape not a fun to carry around) Wheels (Nobody's going to carry V3S wheel around and even thinking about running. Walking speed max and have fun) Big tents (12 people military tent weights a lot especially if it's wet if you didn't know... Not a funny thing to carry around if you need to go more than 500m) The weight isn't the only thing that really matters but also the shape and how clumsy it's to move that object. So things can be carried around alone but you need to sacrifice so much that you pretty much need another player to back you up from the zombies. When a KoS comes and kills you for the tire, you'll know how much fun time he will have with it if he wants to carry that around alone ;)

This topic B) I already gave my beans without reading the comments at my work :beans:

I very much believe the red zone won't be that generic big red one but maybe couple spreaded small zones on some N&W&NW military places.

Did you for sure visit the same towns as before? It can always feel like an fps boost until you go in some big town and you remember and notice "oh how wrong was I..."

Because I and all the others can't.

Oh yeah, house fireplaces! Overall I liked this report very much.

Also lower zoom means it's harder to aim and you really need a good mouse or otherwise you'll miss everything easily because even small movements are dam huge and with a bad mouse you can't hit that pixel.

Yeah blurring things is just a no go for me. My eyes already does that. DOF etc effects are the first things I turn off from every game.

Woah about that FoV slider update! Now it's good to give some feedback but it's so awesome that the zoom is now fixed.

If resting your foot over a pedal isn't a problem then you can use that also. Make it so when the pedal is up, you're running and when you need to stop running push the pedal and then you can go normally with your keyboard. Or make the same with a steering wheel axis. For example turn your wheel left and you're running. Btw pedals can be used nicely to tune your moving speed. I'm not using it because it takes bit practice but it can be a nice thing for someone.

Only way to improve 3rd person up to the point where it isn't advantage/exploitable is to make it so bad that nobody actually uses it. So it's either remove it, tweak it to look cool or let it be and not care about it. Improving 1st person would be a much better task in the end, though I don't know how to improve that other than fixing some minor bugs (actually pretty major bug really) like this: http://feedback.dayzgame.com/view.php?id=21339 It's actually dam annoying bug because I jog and use freelook most of the time...

They can still publish it as 24 May 15 report :P

Yeah I feel you, though I've been getting recently KoSed even if I had like the low starting gear without anything special in my pockets. I don't even care if I die. It's not my loss if I die, it's his/her loss if s/he kills me, because I always have more to offer when I'm alive and my stuff is in good condition than dead and stuff is just ruined. I always have the question "why?" that doesn't ever get answered and I never see any real reason for the kill.

It's server side...

I like in Project Zomboid how theres possible to have electricity for X days and then it stops. Then weather could be one big element, cold rainy season and hot sunny season can make the gameplay very different. Then like you said, loot could become more rare, the more days have passed. Imagine something like the hive is up for X days until it resets. In those days it goes through different kinds of events and gameplay becomes more harder the more days have passed. In the end the more you've put time in those days and you've really survived in different events, the more "rewarding" (I mean pleasing) it feels when you've achieved something and really survived. Combine that with some perma-death thing until the hive has reset, that could really bring some interesting private servers/hives.

Stamina is the #1 for me. It's a total game changer (hopefully). Then the new animation system will be something that I look for a lot. Animations and moving haven't fit well together in RV engine ever so this is also a big change. Finally maybe a chance that the character doesn't suddenly stop or continue moving by itself while changing weapons or performing any kind of animations. Then naturally every performance increase potential both server and client side are very welcome.

Well this could be kind of solved if you can't either move or if you move the inventory disappears just like in Arma. But it's an annoying sometimes in the other end so... not sure about that either because we need to manage things on the move inside our own inventories. It's a tricky thing currently because it helps against some current flaws but in the end it can be just a too easy loot tool

Yeah can happen sometimes. :beans: for nice first posts

I don't see any reason to get vehicle bugs fixed before stamina kicks in. The stamina could easily come even before any vehicles were introduced. To be honest not many people even use them or get to use them often.

Only problems what I saw weren't really related to loot system. Cooking, bows and fishing were the things and then just some more matches/flares would've been welcome. Otherwiseit felt very good. I guess there was some other problem then like private hives not working correctly.

When the new renderer hits, you won't get any big increase. You can think thats's just the point when they can start tooptimize the game. First comes the renderer and then optimizations.

Next erperimental not happening for at least next 7 days http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/224036-twitter-eugen-experimental-servers-not-happening-for-at-least-next-7-days/#entry2252028

Sounds normal. Doesn't matter much what specs you've, you can't go over that magical limit that everyone is suffering.

And if you need to fight, two hit on the head even bare handed kills the zombie most of the time.

Yeah we need to eat too much food. You can craft a stone knife out of stone to skin animals. Your next struggle would've been finding a cooking pot because you ruin meat if you don't have it, need to wait for the new cooking system. Loot depends on what you're really looking for. Some people are happy to find a sweater and a shovel and some are crying when they can't get M4 in an hour. Btw the more you gear up the likely someone just shoots you for nothing... Get used to those fast zombies, that's what DayZ has been about since the first release of the mod.
