Switching from 1st to 3rd person instantly should stay in the game,in fact Rocket shouldn't even be messing with either of the views as they are just fine as is and nobody really asked for that change except a really small group of 1st person shooter fanboys.

Rocket doesn't have to always do video updates of the game itself. What Rocket or someone at Bohemia interactive should do for blog content is to do videos about introducing us to the team of people working on the game (Artists/Coders ect.) I love how Rocket is so hands on with the game updates but they really need someone over there just for doing updates every week,so Rocket doesn't have to be bothered doing them himself and he can focus just on the Day-Z Standalone.

Yeah,a Character Creation System With a Day-Z Theme.Think Book Of Eli style or whatever your favorite end of the world movie is,exactly.I think people should have the choice to make thier character ugly or not though... lol.

It really is amazing. Something like that with a DAY-Z Theme to it in Day-Z would be epic. The Character Creation System doesn't have to take you an hour to make your character, a person who doesn't care about what their character looks like could just hit a random selection button for a random face and they would be on their way to zombie killing in less then a minute. A person like me who cares about the detail and what my character looks like would have all the options in the world to make my character unique from the others. Also, the face that you make ideally would be kept as your character's default face if you die (like how in DAY-Z mod when you die you have the same stock face you used before), you wouldn't have to redo your characters face over and over again but you would always have the option to if you wanted too. I know something like that would take awhile so i wouldn't expect it at launch,after all Rocket is using the Minecraft model. But it would be nice to hear Rocket say he has plans for something like that in the future. Either way Day-Z is a day one purchase for me.

Yeah, Rocket was right on player textures.I don't really care about players uploading their own textures either, forget that. What i care about is Day-Z Standalone having a basic face creation system at launch or after launch, there really is no reason why it shouldn't be in the game. How small is Team Rocket/Bohemia Interactive Dev Team for this game ? I know Bohemia isn't Bethesda but come on, little things like a basic character face creation system (it doesn't even have to be as detailed & complex as EVE Onlines) should be in the game. For those who aren't familiar with Eve Online Character Creation system here is a vid, imagine this system with a Day-Z theme, it would be epic.

I don't know why Team Rocket didn't go for a EVE Online style of character/face creation, where you can basically make a character that looks just like you because the EVE character creation system has so much detail.I don't like the idea of Team Rocket making faces for you to choose from. Let us make our own character faces.

Yes,that was a real let down for me also,i really hope Team Rocket/Bohemia Interactive pays attention to Animations.That is a key thing they should've learned from the Mod, the basic Animations need to be up to par when Day Z goes live.It's probably because this is a early build for the game they probably didn't add the animations yet.Hopefully they will sort that out. Anyway, i loved everything else about the vid ! Looks like so much work has been put into this already. Can't wait to get my hands on it.

Now that was excellent, very well done.Quality acting,the locations they chose were spot on, wow. Best Day-Z Short film so far

Yeah,i went overboard with perfect but yeah, both views work as close as intended.I just don't see the point in totally doing away with part of the game that so many people use just to please some who want an all out 1st person experience. Yeah, 1st person only servers are the way to go for the people who love Day Z in 1st person, not changing the whole game just to cater to a small crowd.

I hope 3rd person view isn't restricted at all. In fact, i hope Rocket and the devs leave 3rd person view as is for the standalone.If people want to play in first person view so much, there is a option for that, don't ruin the game for people who prefer the 3rd person view play style.If the Dayz Mod didn't have 3rd person there is no way i would have kept playing for as long as i did. People always find ways to ruin the game for other people, i really hope Rocket doesn't mess with 3rd person or 1st person views of the game.They're both perfect as is !

I wonder how many people are working on the Day Z SA Dev Team ? With all the work they have to do(rag doll physics, animation & artwork, new buildings,player built buildings and cars ect.) i hope Bohemia gave team rocket all the people they need to get this off the ground soon.Plus they're working on Arma 3 so i wonder if that slowed the process down as well. I'm sure Rocket will have everything sorted out in the end.

Awesome, glad they are finally free !

Yeah,spray paint is a better idea than a note pad imo,writting on walls to let others know of the dangers in the area would be cool.

Loving the new screen shots !

I love you Rocket and the dev team ! Keep on working hard,the new sreenies are looking great. I hope you guys can include a nice Character Creation system, something like Eve online has for detailed/original character faces and bodys. My money can't wait to be spent on this game ! Go Team Rocket !

I can see why Rocket doesn't want to release any new screenshots of the SA or even talk about the SA until it's ready.With The War Z stealing ideas from Rocket/Bohemia constantly, i would be paranoid too about giving away the beans to early. Can't wait for the standalone ! Hopefully we'll get a new screenshot or two just before release

Yeah, Day Z wouldn't be as awesome if it was just a single player experience imo,

Nice, glad to see it will be on Steam as a alpha game ! If team rocket does what they say they can do with higher player numbers in game with the new engine it will be amazing. I also hope the Devs/Rocket put a robust character creation system in there so everyone doesn't look the same in game, and i can't wait to see what they did with the new buildings.This is a day one buy for me

So if i want to update and play 1.7.2.5, i can't use the Six Updater and Launcher ? I have to download the new Play with Six to play 1.7.2.5 ?

Congratz to Rocket ! Whenever the standalone game comes out my money will be there for you to have.

That's awesome ! Good work

That sucks, did you run Arma 2/OA and play both atleast once before DLing Six Launcher and installing Day Z ? Did you manually update your Battleye before installing Six/Dayz ? That's the only things i did and never had one problem.Hopefully someone here can help you get your problems sorted out so you can get it working too.

Just wanted to say i love the SixLauncher, really made this whole process so easy.Didn't have any problems installing and playing dayz at all.
