24h cycle is the only one I disagree. Anything under 24h for example 22h is much better because then the time is differrent on another day so you don't always play in pitch black or sunny day depending just on what time zone you're.

I hope it won't be like that again. I don't want to hit roof all the time with weapons.

I don't care about stuff like this especially when stamina system kicks in. In a team a heavily equipped guy could be a good thing but if the heavy guy starts to lonewolf zombies should be deadly. Things should be balanced so every gear is "end game gear" /OK I was too negative. End gear should be something like: Matches or lighter Warm and light clothes Small axe Knife Compass Battery and torch Rain protection if you want to keep yourself dry Backpack Waterbottle Some medic stuff Some melee weapon Some gun for tough situations. Assault rifle prefered if you're alone

The server can have a bad connection to the hive so new character is greated. Happens sometimes but usually you can just change for a better server and you get it back. There are some rare occasions that you've just lost your character.

I haven't enjoyed this game so much before the persistence. When the servers worked it was pretty smooth experience. Zombies don't glitch much through walls, you can interact with items on the ground without disappearance, no teleportin and other small things. What I also enjoy is cooking. The timing and amount of work to get cooked steak is very immersive. I had cooked in Project Zomboid before and it was a good move to make it like that also in DayZ. It's getting better and better in each patch even though there are some bugs. The game will be great in 2015.

Sounds great!

In Arma 3 the game gets fps boost because it has same kind of effect that view distance change has. So you can expect even more fps in foggy weather.

Take the crosshair out of the game so there's no easy quick reference. It's not really hard to aim from the hip if you align your body well with the weapon or know where it's pointing especially if you do a quick look. But it still should be effective only in close ranges. DayZ's "hip" aim is already almost aimed because the weapon is rested on the shoulder and not just on the hip. You should be able to shoot some 50m shots from that position.

Edge smoothing options has been bugged since the beginning. At least the very high FXAA isn't working right. In Arma they are under PPAA which means Post Process Anti-Aliasing. In DayZ FXAA includes also sharpen filter which can make that option look better over the SMAA even though SMAA should be better technique. In Arma 3 you can now add sharpen as you like for both FXAA and SMAA and I would really like to see that also in DayZ just like all the post processing should be separate.

Not a bad idea really.

The more I tead the report's text the more I understand that 0.49 on experimental is their goal in this month.

I hate that it gets ruined so quickly. Maybe bad luck but my jacket has ALWAYS got ruined by one zombie slap. You need to fell of couple of times from a bike to get a leather jacket in that condition.

Dunno if I'm the only one who hasn't seen a hacker, infinite mag etc when I've played? But I know that those exists from videos. Character wipe is very welcome and I'm already used to it because I've played experimental mostly.

I like how he answered straight and shortly.

Likely later private shards will change to be more modified but for now they need data and environment needs to be even everywhere so that's why private shards are not that open at first when they come.

My favorite gear, riders jacket and blue jeans.

Gosh that media... Well in 3 years the game shouldn't be unfinished. They're only speculating with that and try to make the DayZ look bad even though DayZ should be finished then. It's like speculating with Minecraft would that have been in alpha when it's released on the consoles. Machinima is so low...

Might not or might get you banned. I wouldn't trust that without hearing some more. Mallocs are legit way but I don't know how much someone can screw you with their malloc.

Likely will take some time but I'm pretty sure that Linux servers are coming some day.

Dark blue is pretty common color for tents. They choose light blue though. I agree some more colors would be welcome. Spray option?

Frankie is bit left behind with some of his statements but I didn't hear any rant. I myself guess the PS4 version comes on the third year because DayZ seems to take some time just like many other early access games that are really unfinished.

SA has achieved already things over the mod and there are more to come. Zombie movement is much better for example, items degrade, cooking is way more immersive etc. These things have some bugs but they're on a better foundation. The mod would've been still a mod. That would've been a final hit on the coffin for Arma 3 for sure when the server list had been cluttered with DayZ mods. It's already cluttered with so many Wasteland and Life servers that the soul of the Arma multiplayer is ruined. Of course they made it for the money but that's not all. DayZ's engine will probably be pretty big thing for Bohemia because DayZ isn't the only game they can do with the Enfusion engine. They're making it also to experiment and progress. Things aren't as black and white as you say. Well DayZ is still in alpha in the engine that is FAR from finished if you compare to RV4 for example. But future sounds very good for Enfusion because DX11 (RV4 is DX10), 64bit servers and probably client, things are less scripted compared to the mod... It's still different becauuse RV is very modular and the AI is one of a kind but that's not what DayZ really needs. If you think it needs then you play Arma and not DayZ. Performance issues seems to be very same I agree but now that the PS4 version got announced I've really high hopes that it will be improved this time. If you like the mod better then play it. It's good and at this point can be better but DayZ is catching it. The foundation needs to be good before they can make the gameplay to be better.

Am I the only one who thinks that if they can do DayZ for PS4 then we should see big performance increase when the renderer is done? /Seems like rocket thought the same ;)

I've never been interested about dogs in the game. They would be just a waste of time IMO. Maybe a horse companion that you can ride could be a good addition because you wouldn't need to do too much AI stuff for them.

Can't you press shift while you've weapon raised to jog? I've only tested that with a melee weapon so far so I don't know if it's bugged.
