Grabarz (DayZ)

Interesting, I didn't catch that. Someone should post about this on Reddit. They already got the perfect solution in Arma3, so I don't understand why he is that helpless.

Making night brighter would be a bad solution IMO. I've always been hoping they'd change the way the video gamma/brightness settings influence shadows at night. It would be better if the black level would clip at a certain distance around the flashlight, where the light dropoff is sort of passing a threshold level of what the eyes perception would be. This way you could influence from midtones upward, but everything too dark for the eyes would change from black to grey (or stay pitch black), without showing more detail. Would be awesome if they could make it work like in ARMA3, although I haven't seen it for real, it seems to be perfect. Just look at this post by SmashT: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/139346-remove-gamma-and-brightness-settings/?p=1366832

Gaddamnit, as brainfucked as they seem to be? They're either on coke or your fucking right. HAHA Pepsi, pfff ;P

It better should. Maybe they're just enjoying fucking with our brains... But serious bugs? Oki doke, enough time wasted due to BI's fucked up public relations. Now we're down to just random excuses for further delaying a release. See ya'll in 2014.

He's totally avoiding an answer regarding release date. Now that's pathetic.

It's truly awesome. But it reminds me of something. I've always been hoping them to change the way the video brightness setting influences details at night. Because in the mod, it isn't actually necessary at all to get the nightvision goggles. You can just tweak the brightness. And if you don't, others probably do (guess most do it) which makes playing at a realistic setting senseless. It would be better if the black level would clip at a certain distance around the flashlight, where the light dropoff is sort of passing a threshold level. This way you could influence from midtones upward, but everything too dark for the eyes would change from black to grey, without showing more detail. Would be awesome if they could make it work like that. Or maybe it's implemented this way already...does anyone know?

Stream doesn't load for me. :(

There were 4 German servers 3 hours ago and now the count has tripled. Have patience :P

Right, the count is steadily increasing. Wondering if they need to be updated to the latest revision in order to be ready for the release. Anyway, the hypetrain is frozen and needs a LOT of coal to get started. And I still think (and hope otherwise) that they won't do it on a Friday.

New server revision, Steam app update and the locomotive is full up! 1. Hicks_206 0 08:10 1. rocket2guns 0 23:45 1. MattLightfoot 0 08:10 CHOOOOO CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

They just updated the server revision to 113626+ and the map doesn't show the MissingItemBug anymore. Stonerland happening?

Wouldn't a Friday release be a bad idea? On the weekend there are too many people, with too much time and everybody wants to get into the game at once. Even if the game would be ready now, I think they are going to wait until Monday.

Missing Object Bug? And WTF, what a bad joke, haha...

Apples and oranges. Quote from the Rust website: "It became very clear that one thing DayZ had that we didn’t was a huge populated world. We could not justify spending the time to create towns and cities full of enter-able buildings full of furniture and lootable goodies. We decided that the world should be empty – and the user should build those buildings. Joining a different server would be like entering a different world – because it will have evolved completely differently. After adding this feature we released an early alpha version. This ended up being a million times more popular than we expected and left us satisfied that we had chosen the right direction. Around this time we came to the conclusion that we were sick of zombies, and after taking a look at the game decided that we didn’t even need them. There are already enough ways to die. So we removed them." Totally different scale.

I'm impressed. I agree, this is the IDEAL way to do it. Making the project tasks more transparent like this indeed doesn't leave many questions, does it. Love how you can view the content of each task. But something like this is the exception rather than the rule...sadly. To BI's defense, although looking pale in contrast to this, there is to say that they are doing alot better than most developers. And, I don't know about the Rust developers, but I'd prefer a mix between communicative style through forums, reddit, twitter and such a task schedule. However, THEN they'd invest too much time with blablabla instead of writing code and getting sh*t done. :D Conclusion: WHEN Rocket communicates like in the past weeks, all is fine!

If this is another cocktease, I'm gonna play german piano in this very room..., Sir!

We'll get ragdoll soon! Ragdoll (almost) confirmed! WOOT! [–]VvanderfellI DON'T NEGOTIATE WITH BANDITS -1 Punkte 4 hours agoI really don't see why the ragdoll physics are important. In every game I've played with ragdoll physics, including Arma 3, it just looks and feels like the bodies are just falling 3D models. It's hard to describe, but the clothes don't move or ripple. They just fall lightly and it's a huge turn-off for me. Sure the movement in a game isn't as detailed as it could be, but at least it looks like a conscious decision made by the character I'm controlling. The animation is based off of real human movement. Not a really solid body falling to the ground like everything was plastered together and then given perfectly frictionless GI Joe action figure joints. Regardless of my opinion on how it LOOKS, I say that this should be one of the last things that should be implemented. The actual functionality of the game is much more important IMO. [–]rocket2gunsRocket [score hidden] 43 minutes ago The main reason for ragdoll in DayZ is not bullets (objects don't look that great when shot, the bullet doesn't move the body much) - but melee based death and hits. With our melee hit detection, we can move the body and its skeleton in very cool ways. So the ragdoll looks beautiful in this scenario.

Oh oh, note the frownie: caleb barger ‏@calebbarger1 58m @rocket2guns @Orcon what part of the game you workin on now? Dean Hall ‏@rocket2guns 14m @calebbarger1 @Orcon bugz :(

Wouldn't even eat Marmite if it meant immediate release. :D Hell yeah, they are working hard: 7 minutes ago Changed changenumber – 350480 › 35050043 minutes ago Changed changenumber – 350431 › 350480about an hour ago Changed changenumber – 350429 › 350431about 2 hours ago Changed changenumber – 350413 › 350429about 2 hours ago Changed changenumber – 350353 › 350413about 3 hours ago Changed changenumber – 350348 › 350353about 4 hours ago Changed changenumber – 350082 › 350348about 8 hours ago Changed changenumber – 350054 › 350082about 9 hours ago Changed changenumber – 350017 › 350054about 10 hours ago Changed changenumber – 349463 › 3500172 days ago Changed changenumber – 349447 › 349463

It will release when everybody is happy and the game is ready, which could happen any time from now. :o Seems like they are testing the fixes for the last showstoppers? Perhaps, if it all goes well, it will release without a warning? EDIT: Tuesday, 10th December 2013 will happen in Czekoslowakia in 35 minutes...

I'm impressed. Kudos Rocket and team. Love the new Cherno and all the various loot items. And that broken scope looked amazing. Best game ever. :beans:

Good to know that I'm NOT alone. Thanks so much. Let's hope they are just creating all sorts of items for their own amusement and we won't see (at least not too many) Payday masks in the SA.

It's wrong IN MY OPINION. I think I made that clear in my post. I don't understand why you are accusational and offensive, but your insultive manners speak for themselves. You're acting like a baby, because you seemingly can't tolerate other opinions but your own. All I wanted is to have a constructive discussion to see where I stand with my opinion and because I was curious to see what others think, but apparently that isn't possible. I'm done wasting my time here.

Again a logical fallacy. Just because it's fictional and because we don't know the back story means that we should allow ANYTHING? Wouldn't you agree that there should be limits as to not adversely affect plausability and turn the game into a silly and pathetic phantasy shooter? For me, putting Payday masks in is a dubious decision, as I couldn't take the game as seriously while being surrounded by Payday robbers. It starts with a Payday mask and ends with alien weaponry, UFOs and exploding super tank zombies... IMO there should be more things to which you can relate IRL instead of letting fantasies run freely. There are plenty games already that allow for that. I think in the end it all comes down to the question: How much fiction can we allow, before the game can't be taken seriously anymore? Am I really that alone with my opinion? :o
