What it is meant to be..... each of us has different "what is it meant to be concept", for me what is it meant to be would be the gameplay of DayZ 0.5x, with the tech side of DayZ 0.6x, and with the content which has been promised for nearly 30years alread... gosh.... bwoah..... I hope new player controler will be good for gameplay, and won't be too complicated and flow braking. Even if DayZ is quite dead, I hope lots of people will give it a go one more time for 0.63. Maybe. So less sprinting will have to be compensated by something. Epic gameplay ? Bicycles, can't wait to see. What DayZ DOESN'T NEED the most - is uncreative players ghoasting from server to server, all hidding from each other. In other words, no action, interactions and loads of KOS. At least having to save stamina will decrease chance for players to run from one another, which sometimes gets ridiculous in DayZ ATM. :) But long distance traveling has to be compensated. Just has.

like it doesn't Edit.... sorry confused stamina with hidration and energy this time :/ There better be bicycles. Otherwise.... another thing to the shelves for modders to tweak for sake of gameplay.

I wish it could be compensated by bikes and bycicles. But I guess, knowing that this is ultra hardcore game, there will be like 5bikes and something like 10bicycles all around the map lol, and within first day all will get hidden in some secret places of the map.

I don't care about consumed energy and hydration, as long as it is still somehow possible to get it in DayZ, at least it was when I was playing the last time, hardly possible, but still possible (if you still care to continue on to play when you can't get armed even around NWAF). So I sprint almost all the time, to save my real life time, and then go jogging in real life. Profit.

Yeah... maybe slightly on a sarcasm side. Both FOV states are necessary in DayZ IMO. Large FOV is necessary for getting realsitic peripheral vision, and small ( aka zoomed) FOV is necessary for vision in distance. While some has used an arguments about other games not using this feature and being alright. It has to be said that DayZ having huge map and relatively very low amount of players per server will harm the gameplay by taking out so called eagle eye. Eventually we will get a bit less understanding what is happening in larger distances, eventually we will feel even more lonely in DayZ than we are now. And this is exact reason while DayZ is dying, it should be all about meeting various people, friendly not friendly, neutral, psychos, helpers, multiple nationalities, differently looted, in different situations and places (though map is too big to have frequent interactions at any place in inlands). DayZ didn't have had very much of that lately. Stripped out social aspect of DayZ also results in severe KOS, non-creativity among the players....... Removing "eagle eye" will just add to the problem. No sarcasm, no stupid jokes, it is serious. What has been done, and harmed social aspect of DayZ already: Next to none loot at the coasts results in players scattering through the map, and making interactions more rare; Too many points of interest results in players getting all around the map and making interactions more rare; Now removing zoom will reduce ability to spot one another and it will also add to the issue.... All three are developers choices, and it is getting clear that making interactions more and more rare is the vision. Maybe this is really a game which has been funded by millions just for a few thousand niche players who likes to be pretending to be hardcore survivors running around for five hours a day while their spouses are doing all the work around the house lol I have a feeling that this will stay that way. Modding where are you, will you happen ?

lets use scopes to achieve realistic fov, hooray

Dots are easier to render

People with small monitors are going to suffer the most from this. Maybe just make the correct FOV aka iron sight, aka eagle eye, aka bionic eye as default. And ditch the stretched out one, as that is less realistic, at least mathematically. But oh welll.... performance. Sometimes it looks like gameplay is at the very bottom of things in DayZ.

A game - find a smart post in this thread, and quote it (there is probably only one) http://forums.joinsquad.com/topic/9574-zoom-focus/?page=3

Isn't it just realistic FOV within a click of RMB, which you call robo eyes and everything ?

No the fuss is not about Gews, it is because of me posting a tiny bit too energetic, not politically enough to these days standarts. I have posted a post what more could be nerfed in this game in order to save more performance, which was a joke more or less.... and this social justice war begun from there also fanboys sesnitivity value risen, no point to do drama IMO Totally nice posting by Gews, makes me happy. But I guess thats fighting the windmills unfortunately.

Back in the day fog worked in different way perhaps ? Nowadays it doesn't hit performance, at least it seems so to me. DayZ has a beautiful fog, which works neatly trapped in the coast between the mountains.... Tooo bad lately haven't seen any rain or fog, IDK why, perhaps because people are too simple, and likes only sunshine and butterflies. Again, AFAIK, I'm not sure about that. But, AFAIK, zoom is the way to simulate correct FOV. Naturally screens are too little to have enough vision and proper FOV at the same time. So it compensates that, and correct FOV is better when you have to look far ahead. Obviously. So it is like zoom. IMO it is good feature. 0.62 has rather annoying issues with trees LODs switching, just doesn't work very well, this is probably related.

So excited about this :) Current DayZ is so much off my taste, if it is not going to improve, then it is all about modding from there. I hope modding will take immersion into account and will not introduce ridiculous content, also quality over quantity all the time ! Big hopes for gameplay changes. Would love various features comming from modding to improve gameplay, first of all more interactions ! It could even be a smaller map, or just a few points of interest in the map.... countless possibilities Basebuilding is comming, to my mind it will not make any sense in default DayZ. I hope for "clans" mod or something like that, where players would spawn in opposite clans and should build theyr main bases, and play capture the flag or something..... I'd hope for such things from default DayZ, but the struggle is too big, I guess. But gotta keep expectations low, in order not to get hit in the head if something is not going to be too great immediately. Whats immediatelly ? I guess whole 2018.

You make me sad, @exacomvm.... There is a difference between fog and dust. Fog and smoke works very nicelly in DayZ btw. Fog doesn't hit fps, AFAIK, it also reduces drawing distances, so it should increase fps. Furthermore, it was a joke. I was not serious, I was exaggerating in response to the Zoom being taken out, which is not even official or anything.

Constructive feedback in a nutshell: My forum tactics are politically suicidal, thats for sure. But all I said was that I dislike good features being taken out of the game, and thats not the first time. And then fanboys attack. Zoom has always been a very useful feature, especially when I used to play with a laptop, then I used that function all the time. Without it it would have been bad. Having a good sight in a distance in DayZ is far more important than in any other game. There is no point even to compare with any other game. It is super helpful to press RMB and have a natural FOV for a few seconds. If the issue is to save the performance, then perhaps the game should be delayed at least 5 more years, and perhaps then computers and serves and internet connections will be more powerful, at least a bit more powerful to pull this game which requires very good performance in all departments. This is game for the future, I guess. However still looking forward to 0.63, hopefully there will be many great things to outweight loss of zoom (if it is true) and the wait, I've seen in a previews than player finally is able to run uphill, thats awesome :) Someone has started the rumor that it could happen this tuesday aka today, I hope.

Aaaand welcome to ignore list, Squeez, tired of your semi conscious mash up of thoughts, visions and whatever. Go spin a fidget spinner. Anybody who dislikes me, can ignore anytime. I'm not for likes, and making friends with everybody. And my idea was that DayZ is being stripped out. Those little details, like zoom, are important parts of DayZ for me, it is used very often to adjust FOV and focus in the distance when needed. If it is going to be removed - thumbs down.

How to save more on performance. Make corpses disappear in 10 seconds; Make it to be always foggy, very very foggy; Remove third person view completely; No... make corpses disappear in 5 seconds..... Remove stupid things like night and rain, no servers are using that anyway (because people only likes sunshine and being comfortable, even on dayz (I know it is sad to me too, I'd like to play in rain and cold nights too); More LODS, like new LOD every three meters; Reduce max players count to 30, because there is no difference anyway when they all gets all through the map; Reduce capacity of inventory; Cancel Base Building, because there is no room for it performance wise anyway. Cancel vehicles, whatever lol; Strip down the physics, kids will not notice anyway; Actually there could be even less loot around. Reduce the map size - now this one is real idea, no sarcasm here. I don't know why DayZ keeps removing nice things.... Ohhh, performance.... Anybody remember times when after death you could still hear and see a bit..... Or when corpses lasted something like 30minutes..... It was cool.

relese siksti tri pls

Beses are going to be weird at first

Yes it is relative, it doesn't mean actual sequence 1 by 1 in between. But traditionally it has always been a 0.01 step. Those steps could be made in: ages,or centuries, or decades, or years, or months, or weeks, or days, or hours. No, hours would probably be too fast :D In this case iterations might be blended. But it would break the tradition. So if the tradition goes, there will be 38 iterations left for the rest of unknown time span.

It actually should be something like 0.7 before christmas, because the hard tech work should be done, and the fun part should begin - implementing all that content which was prepared in all these years. Should

That should be 0.64 at least

@sneakydude You are right, except that I get frustrated not geting any interactions, it was somehow alright before 0.6. or 0.59. PVP is also nice, but what I enjoy the most is just having friendly interactions. you just don't get to meet as much as you used too... basically thats all what this game is missing for me, and it had it a few years ago I agree it is best to play between the itterations, and thats exactly what I do. But my whining is trigered by fear that this is actually what this game is going to be about - having interactions with other people might continue to be super rare, I see some are enjoying that, and even started to think that this game is going to stay for them "hardcore survivalists" as they say lol They probably haven't even played DayZ a few years ago, when you really had a lot of struggle. Thats it, I just hope that this kind of game will come back. I agree about playing in between patches, but the game is going away, and there might be a divorce, thats it, no problem. And I don't whine all the time, just most of the time :D can not wait for 63 !

If thats going to be not months or even the weeks, then we are going to be able to check it all ourselves. Right ? I may not need DayZiagra. It is getting up.

It might be truth, but I wouldn't be so certain. It might become much harder to stay alone in future of DayZ, just guessing. It is not like few million people funded the developer to make an epic game for a few "chosen ones", is it ?
