Minecraft is a very good game to follow :)

No more gamma exploiting :) Will Line Of Sight also be handled server-side? I imagine that is going to to make cheating a lot more difficult. How will these architectural changes affect things like hit-detection?

I think Rocket posted on Reddit that with the new architecture a server that currently supports 40-50 players would be capable of supporting something like 100-300 now.

From testing with 175 player DayZ servers we believe more than 150 players is too many for a map the size of Chernarus. While ChernarusPlus does have slightly more usable space, I still believe our current design will likely peak at 150

Excellent and exciting news. One question: Squad/Clan logos on clothes?

Duuuude. Imagine that. Killing a clan member, swiping his jacket and stealing from their supplies without them knowing? o:

[WargameKlok 166]

No Gold Coins? No Pay for Clan feature? Best of luck.....

Currently loot spawns in a wide radius as a player enters a town (loot area), Wouldnt it be far more benefitial server wise and player comp wise to have loot spawn inside a container (ie- wardrobe,chest, locker) when a player engages with it?

I'd like to know the answer to this too!

All this talk about steam makes me sad about not getting a box release. Would buy a special collectors edition, with a cool map, dogtags, some beans... As well as morphine and a bit of flesh from an infected. Vacuum sealed of course.

It's all that crap or the game, really. We'll do that stuff later, once the game is finished and some uber special boxed edition is done for the Xbox72000 and the PS^5 or something.

[finkone 320]

Ahhh - fresh air. Even if no pics or videos have been posted, I must say its nice to be informed for a possible slip, what to expect, how it will be released - and just see that they are all still alive.

Ty Rocket.

Bugger the uber special boxed edition, a plain old XBLA release will do just fine! ;P

VAC for dayz will only increase the amount of cheating
