I already mentioned this once in a status report thread but I thought I would post it here as an official suggestion. We've all experienced it, your're running right into the direction of the sun and you literally can't see anything. How cool would it be if wearing a pair of sunglasses would reduce this glare, giving sunglasses actual value in the game, and of course give you and advantage over someone who is not wearing a pair. The sunglasses would give your surroundings a slight coloration due to the colored lenses,(and also serve as a reminder to you that your character is wearing sunglasses) What do you guys think?

This is not necessarily the case. In escape from tarkov for example turning up the gamma will not help you at all.

awww did you create an account just to say that.. how cute

This quote is from the Q and A section of this very same status report: "Q: Do you have any plans for new buildings? A: Yes, we already have some new buildings on the Northwest Airfield in 0.63 and more buildings are planned."

Can we just wait for the Beta release and then judge the game on these points? How many time has this dead horse been beaten? Stop making these pointless posts.

I'm all for realism but having your shoes damaged from travelling from Kami to NWAF is just ridiculous. Imagine your irl pair of shoes lasting you one day.. (maybe if you manage to survive for more than a week in game it should start wearing out) But I do agree that the type of shoe you are wearing should affect how audible your footsteps are to others.

Just the fact that community members are answering all your questions just shows your lack of interest in the development stage as this info is readily available for ppl who care to look for it. Anyone who actually follows the development should know that these are exciting times and that beta is closer than ever.

Yeah the 3PP camera does look great. Too bad I won't be using it though #FPPMASTERRACE :D

This looks awesome. Can't wait to see some of the GIF's they mentioned for the next SR. Keep up the good work guys!

Well getting wet in cold temperatures (and very windy at that) will see your body temperature drop quickly. So it's not really that far fetched. The game should have more of these threats to your survival IMO because right now it is not really a challenge to survive. With that said you could just throw on a raincoat and carry on doing whatever you like really.

Illuminati confirmed

Ah ok makes sense. thanks for ponting that out. Also this statement caused some confusion for me: "Anyway we already have functional prototype of a herd that can be shepherd through the map. " I'm guessing this means a herd of sheep roaming around and not someone literally guiding the herd around?

What a great SR again! I was really suprised to see you guys working on a domesticating/herding mechanic for animals, that is really cool. This game is really going to be a step above every survival game out there once everything is complete!

A couple of months (at most) away from beta release and you leave. Makes sense..

Yea it doesn't make sense at all. people start giving up on this game just when the end is in sight. IMO it's people throwing tantrums for not getting a late 2017 release.

Please just stop

Well did they confirm zombie hordes. It does seem like a big challenge creating an environment that is that diverse but maybe alle the server/network improvements will make it all possible?

I must admit I underestimated the work that still needs to be done here holy crap. But hey we got the answer we were all begging for. I can honestly say now that I can rest assured that the end product will be mindblowing seeing all the stuff that's planned for Beta release and beyond. This will be the survival game I (and hopefully the community) always hoped for.

*Awaits patiently for the status report*

Lies

It's not about it being a discussion. This is clearly a pointless rant because if OP just did a little research he could have figured out the state of development. I simply do not understand people who rant about .62 in it's current with the knowledge that the current version is basically just a "placeholder" game as the devs have stated. Ranting about how bad zombies are is not going to help none of us at this point.

You remind me of myself when I started playing Dayz. I was always trying to interact with players and trusting everyone I came across. Sooner or later you will become more weary of survivors you come across, kinda like Rick Grimes in the walking dead haha. Rule of thumb is consider everyone a threat, scope out towns before you move in and if you see someone just stalk that person to see if you can figure out what they're doing/wearing/carrying. if someone spots you or holds you up try talking, people tend to shoot people who don't talk. It all comes down to experience basically, you will become a better judge of friend or foe. This will increase your chances of coming across like minded survivors because they are out there. Or you can just try teaming up with other forum members of course.

that escalated quickly

Well tbh he did not kill you on sight, he interacted before he killed you so it's probably within the rules. Try playing on PVE servers if you don't want PVP at all.

Try going inland, coastal towns are heavily trafficked by spawning players. Everyone spawns in with hungry status so canned foods are the first things to get looted. Once you get inland you should have no problem finding canned foods in towns. On a side note cooking meat in pots combined with lard will give you the best caloric value of any food.
