Russian Roulette OMG! How do you spin the chamber like that? Wish I had the patience to just get back on and spam connect for a while but it is too hot for me, and my patience would be wearing thin real fast...

The fog is definitely adding to the depth of the graphics, and when I saw lightning for the first time I just stood there for a while, jaw dropping, slowly starting to drool in the face of the awesomeness. Thinking how this is only the first iteration, it will be amazing once tehy're all done! I did note some weird lines in trees during day time though, which took a bit away from immersion, but I am sure it's gonna get fixed eventually. I am so happy about this whole thing. I just wish my character on 3rd person hadn't been standing bleeding in the middle of a road by Elektro. I am quite confused about some of the changes in Elektro and Cherno, my entire orientation went out the window for quite a while. Once I hit the church in Elektro it got better but for a long time I couldn't be sure if I really was in the right city or not.

Half way situations don't matter in experimental. This renderer plus all the new things are MAJOR upgrades. Right now, the Devs have their priority in stress testing, bug finding and fixing. The players are NOT the priority in experimental, the TESTING is. I know it's hard to understand but priorities are completely different when it comes to experimental. I am not even going into this "streamer server" thing again, it was meant so that a wide base of people could at least LOOK at it, if that's not enough for some, I understand completely. But exactly, it has ONLY BEEN THREE DAYS! Wait for a week, let the "new build smell" wear off, hang in there. Edit: And see, if you don't rage as much we can actually have a pretty neat discussion :)

It's a me, if I read this correctly you seem to not understand a single thing that was said in this quick interview. Your responses to what Hicks is trying to make you understand point in the direction "I read all of this, didn't understand half of it so I'm gonna sit here and bawl." I do not mean to be insulting or anything, but if I read this correctly with your responses, you do not understand a single thing that Hicks is explaining. He is giving you a TON of reasons why certain things are the way they are but apparently you have a very selective kind of reading. (e.g. I don't like what he is saying so I'm gonna sit here and try to complain as much as I can on the forums, maybe the whining is gonna help!!!) Wow...

I've been on the forums for the past three years (Just changed my name after the move to the new forums) so yeah, I've been around, and yes, I kinda get your frustration in this matter... It would be nice if you could keep the F-Bombs down though ^^ Trust me, I don't think that the "Streamer Server" is much of a perk, that was discussed about... 4 or five pages ago I think. They're not "handing out servers". It's a business decision, and I get it but I am not overly worried. Anyway, like I said, I understand your frustration, and yes, communication has changed quite a bit, but right now it is what it is. For now, let's take a deep breath and get through this first iteration of the new renderer. Things will change for the better, that much I believe. It's all a matter of patience and I know it can run thin sometimes.

VVarhead, everyone is trying to join like ten servers. Hundreds and thousands of players joining servers with slots enough for like 600 of them right now. Of course it's hard to get in. But yeah, keep complaining and just throw some insults at the devs that have been working extremely hard to get us to this point. Go play some H1Z1 or whatever and come back when Beta is ready... some people just don't get it...

Has anyone tried Novomidtrovsk yet to see what the frames are? That was the one city I had to avoid for most of my DayZ-ing since it killed my everything as far as frames / graphics were concerned. So far I have not been able to test it. I run an i7 Asus ROG Laptop with a 765M Nvidia for comparisons - and I have to remember to turn steam frame counter on again! Thanks to the lucky people who actually get to test and report not only bugs but also report back at the forums! Meep Meep!

The new back pack is just pure beauty! I love that we finally have "real" fishing rods, I just don't know if I'll ever use them. I am so used to crafting my own with a bone fishing hook, a real rod looks so... easy. Unless you have to find hooks and reels and line and have to collect to put it together ^^ Oh, and I am super excited about the Queue system. Imagine they gave you a "You're queued to spawn after the next 7 players" or so, counting down. And hope the server doesn't restart just as you're the next in line ^^

Uhm, I believe you are completely unaware that in the filter settings UNCHECK the Passworded servers so they don't show up and ALSO set your Ping to zero or a very high number (700 or so) - if you had read ANY of this thread you would have known that this solution has been discussed several times already. If everything really looks so terrible, why not revert back to stable or wait until DayZ is in Beta Mode? Until then, good luck.

I actually also was completely unaware of a streaming server. It's understandable if they set one up for the reasons you mentioned above, antykain, but it would still feel like this awkward Teachers' Pet thing to use a server like that. Even more, if every streamer had a team of say 2 - 4 people and dragged them in there with him, that one server wouldn't really give anyone an advantage anyway when it comes to trying to get in, right? You'd still be having a long time spam connecting. Just my two cents, kinda neutral about it I guess. Anyway, I am done spam connecting for the night, I'll try again early tomorrow morning, bright eyed and bushy tailed ^^

Streamer or not, I know I'll have a hell of a time even at 6 am on a Monday morning. I doubt I'll even try much on the weekend. On another note, how's everything going with the to-be-expected KOS Kiddies that are just there to "see the new stuff" and grieve other players? I have encountered one friendly freshie when my graphics were all messed up but he was the only person I made contact with.

All in all I was able to play 3x 15-20 minutes, after that I always got DC'd - but I also had the "bad acid trip" of what seemed to be my GPU ready to burst out in flames... I restarted and it worked but it was scary for a few moments there ^^ I love the smoothness, I love the widdle chickens running about all over the place... but I was unable to actually see any Zombies for myself, since I always got kicked before I reached Elektro / Berezino on 1st / 3rd person. Somehow after every exit of the game returning to server screen after playing, all the filters keep getting reset, which is annoying but oh well. Everyone who thinks this is a fail: It is the VERY FIRST iteration of the new renderer, it is a MAJOR change to the game, and it WILL get better as we go, especially on experimental you gotta calculate for things like these. I expect the weekend to continuously have full servers, cause, well.. weekend - but I do so very much hope we will be able to see some 75 player servers, or at least go back up to the 20 x 60 player servers. All in all I am very happy and excited for touring Chernarus is this brave - and beautiful - new world! Have a great day everybunny! Meep Meep
