"it will be hard to ask for advice and answer." Professionals simply don't ask for advice - That's where creativity shines and that's overall how great engines comes to life. What exactly? Making the best engine ever especially when best developers left Bohemia and only newbs left is indeed a tough task. But there's alot of small things such as animations and soundfx that can be done very quickly, but even these aren't done in like 2 months. If they can't make animations+soundfx+remastered textures for weapons in 1-2months then we gonna see DayZ beta in approximately 2022. Team of 30+ members can't do a simple job that usually is given to a single person to do in a week or something.

That makes no sense tbh. Do you even know how game development works?

No offense, but from what i've seen in the past few months and this status report, seems like developers are doing nothing. Okay coding is hard and tricky i get it, but implementing these new weapon anims for such team should be few days work max, but for some reason its taking ages, if "you're busy" with more important things, just hire some freelance animator and he will do all guns in day or two. Also for SFX its not a big deal too, probs the easiest thing in game development ( just requires hi-end gear for sure that u had forever ).

Well that was my guess, i've never read any ToS and Terms and Conditions of any game, but as long as you run your own server i think you make rules there. For example you can add a rule in your server "Admin/Staff has right to modify servers data" so if players is ok with that you legally can add items to your character. For example if a player is stuck or glitched you should have the right to modify his position in the database, so if you're allowed to do that i guess you're allowed to modify the database the way you want, because it's yours after all. I might be wrong here ofcourse, but thats my opinion/perspective.

Do whatever you want, but if you want to add some loot etc via editing your DB to you inventory then do it. But anyway you should fix your mentality anyway. Playing in a easy way not only will get you an advantage over other players, but also a disadvantage for yourself, you will get used to instant gear and forget how to play the game. It's just hacking in a legit way. If you're making a server just to have control over your character and be the best ingame then it's just something wrong with you, means you're probably bad in the game, better work on your skills, learn and once you master you will feel atleast proud of your kills etc. As a kid/teen i've created and owned Lineage 2 PvP server and did something like that, it was fun, but nothing glorious and nothing i would be proud of.

Its compatible, otherwise you would not see the gameplay of it, basically they added whole new player characters ( different rig or something ) and the animations needs to be reworked on it, some weapons probs currently don't have animations on the new rigs. The .63 gonna be like a complete rework of nearly everything besides map itself. The new engine is running since .62 if i am not mistaken, also not sure if it will be called Enfusion, cause Enfusion is already old engine from 2015 or something since the DX11 was implemented. And also its not really that different engine, its just reworked and improved from what devs said.

I think you got it wrong, i mean the stamina system, some new animations, ability to run uphills, new character controls is there already, but thats just tip of the iceberg of what's coming to .63.. so it could be pushed to .629 experimental etc for us to try some of the new features and maybe get used to it a bit till the .63 comes out, now both exp and stable uses same version, so there's no point of exp anyway. I always seen experimental as ability to test upcoming features, not only for bug testing purposes. Current stable got bit boring of its emptyness and same gameplay over and over again, thats why it would be awesome to get atleast some upcoming features to play with, from what i saw in these Gamescom videos it looks like a brand new game to me, probs thats why im dying to try it asap and in general im impatient person especially when something can be done, but its not going.

Basically from what i see DayZ .63 has few features that lacks to be worth experimental. - Weapon animations ( should've been finished long time ago, that should not take more than half week for a single person ) - New Loot System? And thats pretty much it, rest would be implementing the actual modding and base building and polishing some already existing stuff such as the UI functions/design, inertia n so on. I don't see why they can't release something like .62.9 with the .63 features in such long time, obviously probs because they want to release fully featured game that will blow everyone's mind, but again: Why the experimental is for? I think it would not hurt if they dropped the improved gamescom version into exp.

Awesome point, but mostly only fanboys gonna wait for DayZ .63 and thats the sad part. Maybe lots of people will join after they see the .63, but from what i've seen even people who saw gamescom .63 was not impressed and they rather play PUBG or something. We will see when the Beta launches, but i will not be surprised if DayZ will be fkn awesome, but gonna lack playerbase. *Cough* DayZ Standalone Battle Royale *Cough*

From my perspective it's already ready just not fully featured. But for devs seems like it will be ready when all features gets implemented, but the question is when? 2weeks, 2 months, Q3 of 2018 ?

True, i've played with few friends, when started raining they were like "Lets go to another server", i asked them why they even play this game and they were like "you gonna die in few minutes".. what a noobs, mostly it's a challenge to die in a rainy dayz. It's sad that people don't understand the point of survival game. Actually i even feel way more immersed in the game when such challenges occur, camping under the roof etc.

Nearly everything here sounds pretty awesome, realistic hiding ( no more unfair grass rendering where u cant see sh*t through grass and opponent sees u laying on plain field ), realistic body transformation etc. That's not really suggestion, should've posted it in General discussion, but few features from scum in dayz would be pretty cool.

The things i love in SCUM and would love in DayZ is: - Dynamic body build changes based on how much u eat, run etc and DayZ devs could actually do something like that and it wont be a Copy since its how it works irl ( Actually even GTA San Andreas has it ). - Sound based on gear weight or what you're wearing. Neutral opinion: - Awarness, i think people behind a screen already has it, how big ur screen is, how good your headphones etc and overall reaction, "skill" of spotting people etc like knowing where to look. - Camo Rendering is good concept, but even better would be just render damn grass atleast in 1km distance ( optimize somehow ). Highly Dislike: - Wallhack Outline

https://gvepvp.com/ Most popular PvP server atm.

Not bad idea, I think it should regen Blood only like 3 times faster if you're healthy ( energised+hydrated ), so players will still have to travel and look for supplies.

Well, the "Focus" is great feature, imagine youre with high FoV and someone is playing with low one, without that focus feature he will see you more clearly and u probs wont see him at all, that "Focus" feature prevents from getting the opponent an advantage on you also u dont need to go to options and slide it back and forth based on your situation/location. No matter whats ur FoV the "Focus" feature will end up at the same magnification so everyone has equal visibility i mean zoom amount. Also it's classic and unique Bohemia's feature, removing it is like removing the Suitcase in Hitman Game which was really bad idea or removing the MP5 from Counter-Strike.. w/e.

From Meele obviously fists, usually knocks out players in single headshot w/o actually hurting them but is deadly on knocked out players. - Fun to troll friends ( especially new dayz players ). - You craft everything with it, eat etc. Just kidding, Firefighter's Axe is my fav, multipurpose, doesn't take inventory space can be sprayed to fit camo.

Bad luck but you should've known that Zombies can onetap you, especially wolves, so u need try not to mess with them so much. Suppressed pistol is ur best friend.

True, but still since u stick to the roads u would not bug. I've always avoided areas that has lots of buildings due to glitches and security cause of the noise that vehicles make.

Agree. Since irl u can push ur car. But u need to learn to drive also, i've never had issues with vehicles in dayz. Probs u went full speed and lost control then "slided" into a tree or something, some cars handles pretty bad at full speed.

You are exactly one of the people that i have mentioned in my last paragraph. Add microtrasactions of Steam Market -> Devs will have enough $ for Server and Communitiy support or whatever they will need or want. Also yourself you will make some $ for your new Steam game or dlc purschase. Atleast try to argue and give some facts why microtransactions would ruin DayZ instead of saying "No.". Maybe you don't want it, but of the all DayZ players i bet atleast 80% would love microtransaction ( Steam Market ) idea. Dean Hall said that DayZ will never have microtransactions, but it was long time ago when microtransactions wasn't even a thing like its now in CS:GO, Dota etc. And overall i guarantee he was about "Buying weapons etc." for the spawn.

That makes sense, but again look at the statistics.. Top 4 playing games right now: PUBG - Microtransactions: Not Pay to Win Dota 2 - Microtransactions: Not Pay to Win CS:GO - Microtransactions: Not Pay to Win League of Legends - Microtransactions: Not Pay to Win If you also go on Youtube you will see that thousands of people enjoy watching even the "Unboxing" of virtual skins/items rather than the game itself. There's countless ways of implementing microstransactions into DayZ without hurting the oldschool gameplay and no im not talking about "Store Ingame" with all the game content. Something like finding a marketable "Loot Box" ingame and opening that would require a key for e.g. 2.49$. And if you're not willing to open these boxes u could simply sell them on market and save some $ in ur steam wallet. Or even better.. Don't like custom skins/items etc? - Modded Server with them disabled. One of them could be just simply some clothing that does not spawn or even some kind of extra characters like with different body builds ( Fat, Muscular, Skinny etc ). Obviously DayZ devs then would have more work and microtransactions would not increase the player count that much, but obviously it would reduce the hacking and would make the game a lot better. + They would earn ALOT of $. You all oldschool DayZ fan boys instantly reject the idea of "Microtransactions" without even thinking how it could be done, probs u imagine it like it was in "WarZ" where u can buy all weapons ammo armor etc and spawn. I am oldschool dayz player myself and i fully understand that DayZ is about survival simulation and what u loot ingame etc, but also i dont see the microtransaction problem for meaningless things since majority plays dayz for fun and not the simulation ( i play more for sim ).. Just go see what happened to DayZ Mod, its waaay worse than microtransactions would be, last time ive played Mod it was complete Trash full of kiddos and these base builds that reaches sky and extremely lags whole server. Arma 3 Exile ? Trash mod also, looks like h1z1 on such amazing engine. ( There's some exceptions like Oldschool servers w/o all that bs )

I could agree to OP, you can even barely find a full server, even DayZ Underground is offline. I've also checked DayZ player statistics and its now 2k players peak at a day which indicates that dayz is already a dead project, no matter how much i would like to dayz be the top playing game, but it will never happen, never ever, it will be dead forever, devs is just wasting their time if they're not about to change some rules. DayZ must have microstransactions.. If not just cancel this project and keep the earned money, nobody will ever play DayZ. The most popular Games has microtransactions system e.g. Box/Case opening, if DayZ wont have any there will be no players. Times have changed, now people trying to make profit instead of playing the games also such systems prevents from hacking, since if you hack and get banned you lose all your inventory $$$$. It's not so hard to separate skin addicts and veteran players, just do a fkn different hives where skins exist and where they do not. Overall if i were a Director at Bohemia i would choose to lose all loyal DayZ fans and gain 50x more new fans rather that keep on Rocket's promises.

Why did you deleted your work ? I suggest to keep all your work you done, someday you may love to look back, set it to private instead or something. And youtube is a perfect place, since u never know when your HDD dies or u just lose it. I have made alot of videos in the past and i totally regret deleting them.

Not bad, interesting atmosphere, probs u should work more on the color grading/correction ( more like on the pics/footage u used ) Reminded me this one:
