amazed

Anyone else got stuck in throwing animation (with ice axe) and when canceling simply entered unconscious state while still being able to perform all actions apart from getting up and moving? Also the screen did not black out. Already reported on feedback tracker. Sadly couldnt log out and back in to check if its resolved that way. http://feedback.dayzgame.com/view.php?id=21008

Whats the new scripting language?

Glad to hear news about the successor to SQF. I would love to hear more details about this new scripting language. What interests me most though is if you created your own or if you went with something existing. In case of the latter what language are we talking?

Absolutely not! But its definitively a funny read. Just the amount of occurrences of the word piss and shit alone... :)

I am a sucker for realism in 'games' (this is serious god damn it!) as well and last time I checked DayZ is supposed to cater to a very specific group of people that like their games brutal, unrelentless and unforgiving. In short they are expecting a hardcore gaming experience. So with that in mind I absolutely think that realistic gun part mechanics beyond 'press R to reload' should be part of the game. Make it a server switch so server admins have the choice if you must, but do implement this. Here is a more concise clip demonstrating the receiver gun part mechanics:

Wasn't sure where to post this: I am not sure if this was suggested before but after playing Receiver I feel DayZ should feature realistic gun mechanics beyond 'press R to reload' in a way that you can manipulate every/the most important parts of your gun independently. Have a look at this for clarification:

I fear that might be detrimental to your goal because running a sophisticated google search uncovered that bodies in water in fact take longer to decompose than when left to rot over ground in an air-rich environment. :rolleyes:

Well according to Matt SA servers won't be needing restarts to maintain performance so there will have to be a different sort of (perhaps temporal) trigger for corpses to disappear. Matt Lightfoot: source: http://dayzmod.com/f...80#entry1324260

After glancing over your suggestions it in fact appears some of them have their equivalent in the paper brought forward in this thread but I wouldnt exactly make them out to be 'many'. :) Though true enough all intersecting points are fleshed out in much greater detail then they are in your thread. I also agree with you that all issues raised are worth a careful consideration by the makers of SA and in fact lets do hope Rocket takes his time to attentively sift through this amazing compilation of goodness. :beans:

Wow guys you have done some amazing work on this. I really hope rocket takes his time to carefully read through this. I am only as far as the physiology/medical part but I am entirely absorbed!

Rocket never wanted the DayZ forums to happen in the first place. He had to be convinced. He also feels reddit is a better place for a discussion to take place. Rather then to complain and feel entitled be grateful it exists at all.

@matt Thanks for this devblog. What I was wondering now for a long time and that hasn't been answered anywhere: Will SA servers require frequent restarts as in multiple times per day (24hrs) ? Thanks for taking the time to read this.

I like beans.

Apologies for my (potential) ignorance but will there a dev blog tomorrow?

I am a trainee (very soon to finish yay ^^)in a small company selling PCs, Notebooks, other IT-related stuff along with providing IT-services to end customers mostly and I see a lot of those cheap ass PSUs getting returned after they blew up and f'ed up other parts in the process. Buying that kind of component might have a happy ending but chances are it won't. Anyway I am not disputing that you are within my provided specs. But I must admit don't like AMD CPUs much. Kind of a blind spot there for me. :)

Admittedly that system of yours is ahead in raw computing performance but things like power consumption, power efficiency and quality of the components is a concern. I have never heard of the manufacturer of that PSU and I wouldn't be surprised if it blew up in your face sooner rather then later potentially destroying other components. A quality 420W PSU should be enough even with that power hog of a CPU. Apart from that it will do just nicely for gaming and office stuff.

Either tell me plausibly why, build me a significantly better one (the 500€ one should do) or zip it.

Even though this is in German you might find it useful since its both pretty self-explanatory as well as it is using a price search engine thats valid for the whole of Europe: http://www.computerb...405#post3300405 This post includes compilations for these price points: 350€ ~ 300 GBP 500€ ~ 427 GBP 675€ ~ 577 GBP (+ SSD: 775€ ~ 662 GBP) 800€ ~ 684 GBP (+ SSD: 900€ ~ 770 GBP) 950€ ~ 812 GBP

With this many people playing DayZ and anticipating the SA you will always get moaning. You can't please all of the people all of the time. Once you realized that you see how fruitless it is to even try and change that. I can guarantee you should SA be released today there will be a group of people moaning. And there moans will go along of the lines of: "You released it too early because the game is not ready" Anyway where was I? Ah yes breakfast!

Seems you are not so much focusing on the clinical side of the virus rather then the reasons why and how the infected crushed the modern world. Well you might want to read the "World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War". This tells one possible story and tries to be very scientific and plausible. At times its overdoing it a bit with the shorthands that people could have come up with for certain phenomenas in order to sound more believable but still a good read never the less.

Yup thats what I do. Professional dream crusher here. Because what is more heartwarming than someone in pain - knowing you are the reason; awesome! B)

While that has been decided you as the player will still remain in control of providing your own stories and notes to the game. That said I probably wouldn't waste too much time on coming up with your own story for the virus. :rolleyes:

See thats what you get for trying to be creative and avoid overstrained terms such as shitstorm. Also I like your picture. Whats the context ?

I have to agree. Don't tease if you can't deliver. Thats just bad form and asking for an interwebz riot.
