Judley

Im a console player so sadly dont have access to all of these cool features.

Once an ingame day you can choose to sleep and restore energy. Downsides could be intermittent blurred vision and loss of stamina.

You see this on some hardcore modded servers and i think it would be a good addition to the base game. It would make the dynamic of gunfights a lot more interesting as you have to prioritise your shoulder slots and cant just whip out a gun from your backpack. I think it fits into the more realistic approach the game has been taking.

Those river shots like amazing

Hello devs! Hows the work going on the hud toggle for console? i assume youve been working extremely hard on it? I was expecting to see it in the latest updates patch notes but alas it was not there. Perhaps its a secret addition youve chosen not to disclose? Its an incredibly simple update, a feature that pc has, so im scratching my noggin here trying to wonder what the hold up is. You must have encountered an issue during testing i assume? Anyway im waiting here patiently, we will all benefit from the cinematic enhancement that a hud toggle will provide, especially for your up and coming dlc! I was hoping to enjoy this feature on sakhal but sadly to no avail. Anyway please fill us in on the development and how close you are to getting this incredibly simple feature finalised!

Perhaps its down to the person that makes the maps, but the modders are limited to the assets and they dont usually sit naturally. Of course the official maps are guilty of recycling assets as well. I know nothing of map making but from what ive seen, there are a lot of imperfections in modded maps and the ground textures always look bad atleast from a distance. There are exceptions to the rule. Namalsk, Deer isle perhaps, Hashima is probably the best urban design ive seen, theyve captured the high density japanese streets really well. When you look at a map like sakhal it brought with it new weather dynamics and snow textures, this of course is superior to something like winter chernarus. A new desert map will bring with it new features that the community map creators do not have at their disposal.

What are your thoughts, expectations and has anyone managed to geolocate the location of the teaser yet?

You cant compare modded maps to official. For a start the loot progression on takistan was an absolute mess, i would have the official map would not have these problems. Although sakhal loot progression isnt perfect. Official maps will be superior to modded in every way.

I agree and i hope whatever map they use they alter it. I think forested areas are still needed. The idea of an all exposed desert sounds like it would visually get boring quick. Theyd have to make sure theres some variation there to keep it looking and playing interesting.

Wobo has a new video up about it go check it out

On dayz official twitter

Im only a console player but ive watched people play servers with the gunplay mod and the movement and such looks like a vast improvement and would give combat more impact. I think vanilla could do with it.

Tundra and ak74 is a realistic setup because ak mags and ammo is common. But tundra and m4 is the ideal scenario

?

Never mind. It told us nothing

All you do is moan

Happens for me too

80% disagree. Boats are part of the map and the map, consisting of islands (albeit empty are pointless ones), require a boat to get around. It is part of the experience. If you allow a squad to stash a boat and then dont return to the game for a few days, that is a negative experience for everyone involved. I understand what you say; in reality they would be hoarded. But you need to find a good balance. I think 48 hours is still too long.

In a recent interview Thales said the hope is for pc and console to have the same experience, Thales was also optimistic that console dayz will eventually get mods in the ''near future'', and that progress is being made in talks with Sony regarding this, as Sony have generally been opposed to modding in the past. Now all this sounds generally positive, does it not? It wasnt wishful thinking like "maybe one day". The statements made clearly showed there is work being done, or an aim to eventually get mods on console Well in the livestream today Marks said theres no plans to have modding on console. So we have Thales saying they're in talks to hopefully get mods on console. Whereas Marks is saying theres no plans. These statements clearly contradict eachother. The interview was in recent weeks, so unless something has changed in that short space of time? Can we get some official clarification from the devs please? I need closure. Thanks

Anything to say devs?

Hi devs im surprised to see this didnt appear in the patch notes for 1.27?? Perhaps you ran into technical difficulties, so we should probably be seeing it in the following update? I imagine its all hands on deck in the offices, your brightest and most talented minds working together, night and day, to craft a revolutionary feature of a HUD TOGGLE FOR CONSOLE. As always we await with great anticipation. It must be a monumental undertaking to develop because its been a while since myself and others in this thread have demanded its creation. But i have absolutely no doubt that you are all working hard on it. So for that, i thank you.

Smoking can temporarily reduce sway when aiming down sights, and heat buff, and perhaps give you quicker stamina drain, or something. Theres definitely a cool feature that can be done with it

I think they just dont have the manpower to make significant changes. Which is a shame because looking at player count breaking records all the time, dayz needs a little more attention and a few more staff. DayZ 2 wouldnt live up to the hype imo. It wouldnt have the soul that dayz has, and looking at reforger with the goofy character models somehow worse than dayz, we just need an engine upgrade but itll never happen.

Never gonna happen. We'd get dayz before this. Maybe in about 10 years

Now that the dust has settled. How do you guys feel about Sakhal? Does it offer the quintessential dayz experience for you? Does it have that same magic and charm?
