I love night time. I don't see how it could be so discouraging. It's just like how it is in real life. The only problem I have with it; the zombies seem to see in the dark when you're being chased by them. You should be able to lose them depending on the lighting and how loud the sounds are from your footsteps.

Graphics Optimization and the Renderer -Work has commenced on disconnecting the renderer directly from the simulation. This would then free us to change (or even replace) the renderer much easier, allowing greater optimization and new functionality such as better particle effects. We have no timeframe for this completion no any specific goals beyond preparing it for future goals, but it’s exciting for us to start this work. This work will offer us the potential for future very significant client FPS optimizations, such as better scene management, to solve issues people experience such as low FPS in cities.

I understand where you're coming from. I assume there's just a lot of planning and ideas that have came up and I think it's all based on scheduling.

This was discussed before and it does seem logical to be more dependent on the forums for sharing information about the development. From what I've heard, Rocket mentioned that Reddit had a more "mature" community than the forums (Please correct me if I'm wrong) I hope to see more varieties to wildlife :)

2M milestone for awhile now, any ideas on a new dance move? ;)

Perhaps there could be a way to add a timer on each respawn time (Such as half an hour before doing it again)

I agree. At this phase, I believe we shouldn't be playing the game as if it doesn't have any flaws so I think having a respawn feature would be great since there are issues where players can be stuck in objects around the map. (Such as rocks.. They're a nuisance)

Taking a blood shower, does this count?

Moments like these make me wish grenades or handheld explosives were in the game.

Yes please.

I think good ragdoll would be a more friendly substitute over gore if restrictions were really an issue. I personally think gore would add in some more authenticity to some elements such as a more horror scenario in a survival game.

I assume the same applies to the mod.. Holding items that are exploited would most likely get you banned and that's putting it lightly.

I can't wait to see the accelerated time in action. I just wonder when we'll be seeing the increase in player count?

I'm somewhat having doubts about it being released.. It's all on Musty now.

I'd like to have some experiences to be terrifying.. Such as adding those haunting screams when you were unconscious and being devoured by zombies from the mod.. They really need to add that again. Imagine at night in Elektro with your flashlight and all you hear is zombies growling and groaning then a loud scream that could attract more zombies and other beings alike.

I believe it'll be implemented depending on what material the wall is. To an extent, this is currently in the game as it is in the mod. Such as shooting wooden or metal objects may go through depending on how thick they may be. As with Bohemia Interactive, we may see possible influences between ARMA 3 and DayZ swapping features so we may possibly see something similar to this:

I hope it's dependent on server location around the world like it is for the mod ;)

That's right. I believe that could be the case. I can see the standalone having a lot more potential now with a bigger development team than the mod and decreased limitations within the engine. It's been 4 months and the only way the standalone is going is up with it's content and bug fixes.

I don't care. Longer the better.. Means that we'll probably see more content, bug fixes and other goodies to come :)

Great updates.. I can't wait to try them out when they're released, I haven't played for weeks now..

Burning bodies would be a good idea. There are many possibilities to use dead bodies.. Here's an idea: Dragging bodies to an area that's populated with zombies, use that body as bait for your escape and easy disposal. Burning objects could be used as a distraction as well.. That's if smoke and flames will be apparent for zombies.

This may help for some like myself: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/154330-possible-fps-enhancer/

Depends on what you're wearing. A lot of clothing provides different protection statistics.

You'll be welcomed to No Man's Land.

Interesting to see a DayZ server based in Hawaii. :)
