One of My Fav Episodes ever!! Yea i know what you meant with Virtual Reality or Augmented Reality. Personally the Oculus with that little walking thing the other company developed looks awesome, that would keep gamers in shape when it came to FPS and what not. I just wish that type of thing would get here sooner. I look at it like i look an green energy, it will more than likely end up like the 3D TV's. The big console markets would never let something like that hit the market without them being able to profit. Much like renewable energy driven vehicles. Sure we can make a mustang drive on Alge or what not, but why would we do that when the bigs have no stock in it. Obviously a big dif between the two, just my view on it. Now a VR Football Game, or Myst like game would be amazing!

I loved playing a woods-dwelling lone wolf in the Mod. Survival was difficult (pure Vanilla servers - no shonky loot tables or 1 million vehicles) and I avoided other players and the larger towns/cities unless my character needed medical supplies. My initial hope was that the SA as released in Alpha would be the vanilla Mod without hacking. I expected very little of the engine's issues to be fixed out of the gate and also expected some new problems because of the framework overhaul. Currently, I'm taking a break from the SA as surviving is not a challenge unless you get rubber-banded into a group of heat-sealing, teleporting zombies. As all player interaction is KoS, even when unarmed and backing away while communicating over Direct, I usually get bored of sitting in the woods all geared up with 50 cans of beans and go hunting people. Which I'm very bad at. My long-term hope is that the SA makes PVE survival even more of a challenge and fixes all the serious issues the Mod had without a PVP fest with 1 million different guns and helicopters.

Setting up a base in Epoch is extremely time consuming, and you cannot buy infinite building materials, as traders have stock. I also find an excitement in spending a lot of time earning gold and then putting it all to use in buying a small car or a cool gun that I wanted. Trust me, it is not easy to get gold in most servers. Just by doing missions alone, there is a 4/5 chance you will get either slaughtered by the AI or killed by another player attempting the same mission. It is very high risk in everything that you do, and losing your epoch character is actually worse than losing your Dayz character, because your epoch character has all the keys to your stuff, and there is an extremely little chance you are going to get them back. In many ways, epoch is much more harsh than Dayz. You can spend weeks preparing a base only for it to be raided and all your vehicles destroyed. I get much more angrier when losing a vehicle that I bought than when losing all my gear on a Dayz character.

Alright, Just by reading that opinion I can tell that you have no clue what Epoch really is. Do some servers have tanks and gunships? Yes, those are called "Militarized" Servers. However, you will find the vast majority of Epoch servers only have Vodniks or Humvees as the most powerful vehicles, and you will find almost none of them have RPG's. Also, Sky bases? Are you kidding? There is a thing called base maintenance and you cannot have gigantic bases, it is impossible to maintain because your base will disappear if you can't maintain all of it. I know many more people who like Epoch better than regular Dayz, simply because it offers more. With AI Island and Missions, the game is made sure to never get boring, as you keep raiding missions and competing with other clans, and base raiding is also the best aspect of the game. It sounds to me like you are completely ignorant of Epoch and have no clue what the actual game is. I am not being disrespectful to a mod, it just irritates me when someone who has no clue about a topic tries to shunt their ignorance in front of everyone else.

The server I play on must be different. No tanks, there are armored vehicles but mostly of the light APC variant. No gunships, just a couple stripped down choppers with a limited amount of middles. The zombies are roughly the same in number but are mean. Enough that they can be a real problem. And ya you can buy stuff but epoch is based a number of years after the outbreak. So vendors would be a reality. I do agree that the sky bases are silly and need to be tweaked to limit height. But the general idea is great. The reality is that IRL not long after the end of the world... I would be finding a place to lock down and secure. Randomly wandering and camping in the woods we be a bad plan at best

Yeah, acquiring things here (especially aircraft) is a challenge. The AI here are also pretty tough. Reaching the point where you have a base, cash, weapons and vehicles is a long process and adventure itself. Everything is an achievement on this server. And technically, no, you really don't need a safe or lock on your doors, but many (myself included) opt to use them anyway for peace of mind.

Thats not the debate here, there are legit uses for controller, for example i use G13 for character movement with a mouse on the side for aiming... Some people use a controller this way with a mouse to aim..some people have a controller on the side for vehicles in the other Arma's... if we want a controller VS keyboard/mouse debate thats another topic- but WSAD is not nearly as good as a joystick for character movement... One can move in 360 degrees and gradually change their player from walk to sprint..one can raid a house without toggling to walk..just push the stick less.,.it helps massively for positioning your character or when looting..So learn about something before you hating :D

I've recently set up a dedicated box for my DayZ servers. With the latest database changes that 1.8.1 has brought, it has made it difficult for me to figure out how to easily add in a bunch of extra vehicles to the server. I used to have a TON of vehicle spawn points in my old database, which would spawn a good portion of vehicles given their Spawn Chance. Currently, my map has zero vehicles showing on it. I'd like to do one (or both if possible!) of the following: 1. Implement a random spawn system similar to what Epoch uses so that vehicles are spawned evenly across the map, and a new vehicle is spawned upon the destruction of a current vehicle. 2. Easily add in about 100 static vehicle spawnpoints. Since I am now on a dedicated server and no longer using DayZ.ST, I am uncertain what utilities are able to provide right click spawn point addition with the new 1.8.1 database.

CCD Gaming currently have two Overpochins (Epoch, Overwatch and Origins) Servers on the Taviana and Napf maps info is below: Overpochins is a mix of Epoch, Overwatch and Origins so this adds some really nice features to standard Epoch or Overpoch that include Origins hero and bandit houses that you can sleep in, Strongholds for groups and clans and you can combine the Origins bases with Epoch building to make some really nice bases, Epoch/Origins and Overwatch vehicles and some nice AI Zones like in Origins. To play the Overpochins (Overpoch Origins) Servers you need to have Overwatch (0.2.5) and Origins (1.7.9) downloaded (you can use dayz commander to get these) and use the following Launch Parameters: -mod=@DayzOrigins;@DayzOverwatch;@dayz_epoch Just Search for ccd in Dayz Commander or Dayz Launcher We are looking for new players and clans to join us and are offering Groups of 3 or more a base building kit to get started.

Vehicles will most likely be pushed to Q4. Also, I am positive there won't be a patch tomorrow. You have to remember wednesdays are mainly just for maintenance. How does loot respawn make it more "survival" like? While, I know it's good, it does not make it more challenging. They are working on a fix though for the rubberbanding.

the clunkyness and negative mouse acceleration of dayz the mod made people less capable of zig-zagging around like bunnys on speed, it also was limiting the speed of the players more, though i think this will be adressed once vehicles are implemented my point is that making the game more accessible and easy to control will only reward the KoS bullshit going on, and more and more destroy the feeling of a survival game what do we have that is characteristic of an arcade style shooter right now? near instant turning sprinting like an olympic for an hour taking multiple bullets that would kill a bear and run away random bullet spread beyond good measure my f*cking problem is that they are doing the same stuff to DayZ right now, in order to satisfy a larger audience, that SOE did with planetside 2, which has good gunplay and its good moments, but absolutely awful metagame and looks like a battlefield 3 clone, though it should have been planetside 1 with updated graphics and bigger maps and more players, which would have been awesome i can only hope that they will rebalance the whole gunplay at some point, adding more sway, way less random dispersion, dexterity that will force you to take half a second aim before accurately firing after turning, and actual limited movement speed while prone or crouched you just can not hold people up at the moment because they can fling around and shoot you in an instant, or they run away like roadrunner on acid, you have to shoot them to get their gear

Bought the Standalone in February, played it up til April. Then BI had that 75% off sale on Arma 2 CO around late March, thought "heck $6 I'll give it a shot". Been playing mod since then, haven't touched SA at all. Way more variety, via the various submods epoch namalsk etc. More design features. Better game. If I get a hankering for pretty graphics I play Arma 3 mods. Might get back to SA in 6 months if any degree of housing / vehicles are ever implemented

I wouldn't expect vehicles or Barricades in Q3 in fact i have the strongest feeling that most everything presented in the road map has probably pushed back a ways, May was not a successfully updated month that means one content release dead line has been missed so far.

I think cars/vehicles will spice things up a bit. Apart from the NW airfield, I never run into player inland. Survival on its own isn't challenging if you're on a server that resets often. It remains to be seen what loot respawning will do; if they stop restarting servers every hour then it could get interesting. All this hunting stuff is great if you're into it, but I don't see it being required at all for survival. Basically, once you've stuffed your gut after looting the nearest town, you just need a Pipsi every 20 minutes to stay in good shape.

Well even though everyone is hyped for vehicles im not in the bit interested until they make the game hard in terms of the infected and making every day a survival challenge more than a death match. Cars will be just another nail in the coffin unless they get the other things nailed down first. Weather is still not hostile enough to call it a challenge even.

hi guys, i think the patch was supposed to get out last wednesday, but the devs didnt do that, because of the massive rubberbanding that everyone (except me ? lol :D ) is experiencing. now do you think experimental will become stable tomorrow on wednesday ? i dont really know but i hope so if not, well, i guess we have to wait more. but if im right, Q2 of this year Ends in 4 weeks, so we can expect the patch to be out at least at the end of june :) (and after that comes Q3 with vehicles and barricades&stuff :D ) tell me what you think/hope :) rotteck edit: oh, and by the way, does anyone know if the first item-respawn system and/or random doors are already in experimental ?

Hello there and welcome to the forums, as I can see it's your first post. Please make sure to search before posting and make yourself familiar with what is confirmed to be coming (soon) already anyway. Storage (whether that will be tents or fridges or stashes) will be accessible by all and won't be locked to anyone, not even when one dies. It will be specific to servers and will always be, same with vehicles. I suggest reading up on confirmed features. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/182275-dayz-at-rezzed-2014-dev-sessions-livestream-roadmap/

I just upgraded to an ATi R9 290 and I still get poor frame rates in cities. I can run Watch Dogs at 80+ fps consistently but I'm lucky to break 45 fps running around Cherno. That said, I'd prefer in game vehicles over graphics optimisations, so I am happy for now!

NEW*- Buildigns are tied to UIDs rather than character IDs so you keep parts over deaths.

Just wait till base building, vehicles and helicopters are added. Most fights will be clan vs clan, most likely north somewhere assulting another base. With the lack of transportation, its easy to just stick close to spawn. also 40ppl is not enough to keep the whole map full of action making a small part of the map used makes it so its easier to find action. In the mod, spawns was on the coast, between kamenka and solincity. but most of the pvp happend north of stary trader city. When someone died, or we lost a squad, we had someone patrolling the air. helicopter taxi for our clan, from the spawn, to base for gear and into battle. if you died you was geared up and in battle within 15min. I played on a server who was split in 2 teams or clans, sweeden vs russia (most players was from sweedish or russian) Its not like ppl was running and had deathmatches on the coast. nobody was on the coast, exept from solo players (untill they was contacted and joined a side if they wanted) Just wait, the deathmatches on the coast will fix itself once the game has more content. theres nothing wrong with neaf, or the spawns. theres just nothing to do once geared. theres no endgame,, no enemie base, no safe to stash full of gold, no base to build. but there will be! just wait =P
