Absolutely. It used to be running around for 20-30minutes, in the mean time finding a gun and bullets for it. And then you could either protect yourself from bandits, or be a bandit. It wasn't necessary a pvp action as soon as you get ammo. There used to be so much more interactions. I miss old Novo map. So much fun happened there. New one does not associate with any fun for me, because nothing ever happens there. New Electro have had some fun in it, but also much less than it used to be in old Electro. It was a real survival feeling. And zombies were much more "safe" then. With current zombies and performance DayZ would be epic. Steamcharts numbers says it all. Now you run for 2-3hours, and then you shut down the game, or get snipped, or game crashes itself - come back later.

Paranormal Noobivity However, I miss those times when there were a bit more loot in the coast. Now you are forced to go inlands. And players gets scattered accross the map so much more, and there are so much less interactions as a result..

I have turned into albino once. I also experience a lot of crashes. Sometimes player starts stuttering when inside the house. Maybe I should play in 64bit mode ?

Imagine how he speaks in game it must be like one big sentence and with no emotion in a quick manner like psycho computer controlled killer robot insane

Psychos has more entertaining time for sure :D

Whatever... people are not playing in night servers anyway. Seems that all the core players, the most creative ones, are just having DayZ dusting on the shelf. Maybe till 0.63. Night Vision will not spoil anything, because ^^^^, also because you will not find it.

Woods are awesome ! But nothing is really happening to me, maybe its my fault. Just saw one guy bleeding wanted to bandage him, but he was actually dead. Somebody driven past me, but all I see was an empty car with nobody inside it. Still waiting. Maybe this game really just shouldn't be played alone. Even in full server.

Oh shiiiiiiiyyyyy eats on stable ! DayZTV.COM sucks like always, found the post in official DAYZ Hatebook page, 24mins ago

I actually don't know if there really going to be wipe, but I guess every major update had it. However if this is only graphical... IDK

Awesome ! Finally an actual reason to launch this game once again. Too bad probably will have less than hour to play, so it means that most likely will not meet anyone. However, playing after wipe usually is more lively, as less people are up in inlands camping in bushes with their precious loot already.

In latest QnA senior map designer said that underground structures couldn't work properly because of tech side, and that it would take a lot of "rebuilding from scratch". And I don't understand any part. DayZ has multiple light sources, incredibly nicely working internal building shadows, and superb shadows overall, day and night transition (from daylight to darkness). What else would you need to have an underground place ? As for rebuilding from scratch, I don't understand that either, as it would probably require nothing much more than entry/exit points objects on top, maybe some ventilation, or escape points here and there, how would it need redoing any area from scratch ?

Have you guys ever played DayZ at night ? I'm aware that there are different kinds of darkness. I have had a bit of life some years ago, and being on foot after midnight, sometimes in forest wasn't really unusual. And it doesn't take very long to start seeing in dark. Of course if you have been using flashlight, and you have to defend yourself you have no time to get used to darkness. Thats why you shouldn't use flashlights in the first place, unless its very necessary.

If you don't use flashlights in dark, during the time eye gets used to darkness, and you begin to see. If you use flashlight you see only where light is projected, bonus you make yourself visible as fcuk. So who the hell uses flashlights in situation like this ? Is this slenderman gameplay ?

Who the hell uses flashlights in situation like this....

Doesn't make sense. It shouldn't be much different from multi stores building, or bridges...

Whats difficult to make there ? You model an object, and model an entrance, thats it. My guess is that there are problems with lighting, I guess there would be too much light in those closed areas during night. I guess Night/Day is simply a global thing, and as it would be day, it couldn't be night in a cave like it should be lol This screenshot by Oliver just proves that, that basement should be deadly dark. Would love underground structures anyway, ofcourse it would trigger endless wishlist for darkness in those places, maybe someday huh totally not a priority

must be solving difficult stuff

Only somebody who has absolutely zero knowledge about DayZ development, and perhaps game engines, can create thread like this. You know that devs spent incredible effort to create their own engine ? This thread is somehow insulting. However, this must be just ignorance.

Lol going to get bored of game before it is going to get finished haha

Don't go so far (as back seat dev).

Thats because there is none. There will never be any logic in building a base alone, you'll have to have big group of people. Ideally server with clans system, which is not presented in DayZ (hopefully is visioned) and exists only in my imagination now.... So there are always somebody from the "clan" at the base, or at least online. Hopefully. Theoretically it would be possible to set up clans in passworded servers and have same thing, but this requires successful server with a decent traffic, and serious administrating, so nobody will ignore "clans" thing, or do funny things... To put in short - without game mode, it could be done only by trusted players. If you want to do solo or small group base, there will never be a better base than few smallest tents and barrels placed wisely and placed in decent distances from each other in order to be difficult to spot, or even only few barrels, as tents doesn't have "ghile suit" on them and are always easy to spot.

I would love to travel by bus from own clan base to other calns base and do a massive fight lol Of course it would be possible to do, even only by setting a server rules. But you have to have a server, and that servers community with a lot of regulars to get things going.... It would really work only with specific game mode. I will never be interested in building a base for myself, but would be interested in building big base with other 10-50 players. Imagine 100 people server with two specific calns in that server where each would be building huge bases, or fortifying entire towns, and attacking each other. Yes, exactly that. I don't know about smokes, pictures on the windows, ownerships, trades through windows.... but having whole town under control, or some secret forest place, or both would be epic. It would be weird to never get that from DayZ, it should happen.

Hmm, never thought about that... I agree with everything. @scriptfactory What about situation if you log into a server, you appear in server together with your base, and you stay in that base for few hours, get crazy mad because no one ever comes, you leave base to look for "gameplay", and when you come back after some time you find that everything has been cleared out ? :D Or you come back only to find out that your base is no longer yours ? Or you spawn at one part of the map, but your base is at the other end of the map, and till you travel there you lose it ? You would be motivated to go offline only after coming back to your base, so, I guess, it is good thing, unless you would be forced to run there for 30minutes. Mechanics of bases are unimaginable. Solo bases will be so useless I can't even... Even small groups bases will be very useless. Ant Hives type bases would work if there would be two-three player "colonies" in the server. Of course it would be totally different game then. It wouldn't be DayZ randomness anymore, it would remind war a bit more. You wouldn't need to ask who is friendly anymore, friends would be obvious. It would be obvious where to go to meet your people, and have a shared goal build and protect main base. Map is big enough to have immersive distances..... There would be so much to squeeze out of that... I don't know maybe someone is already thinking of something like that, maybe there was a mod like that, I have no idea... Obviously it wouldn't be really DayZ anymore. If not in DayZ then in some other game such gameplay mode will appear and be very successful. But DayZ would be ideal for it... who knows... if not official then maybe mod ? I have a bit modding experience from Assetto Corsa, have been modeling some stuff, looking forward for modding possibilities of DayZ. Would really love to participate in modding something as described above. I'm not sure if there ever has been game type like that, it would be awesome.

And what would be "unrealistic" base building ? How it would be different from regular base building ?

I speculate that bases will need completely new game mode, otherwise only few greater player groups will make use of them. And at the end of the day game will be worth playing only if you'll have a bunch of your friends with you, being lonewolf already feels pointless. LIRIK once said in a stream while doing pvp in old NOVO map: "It is F***ING 10/10 map", and then he said "Who the F**K plays DayZ alone" :D Wise guy. And novo is not 10/10 anymore and everybody are playing alone lol. However, I might be wrong about NOVO, nothing really happens there, so hard to say.
