rainf 76 Posted January 8, 2013 That's the best thing I've heard this far. Players are always going to be catalyst to our emotional choices, the zombies will finally be the ever threatening backdrop to our struggle to survive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frankenstein's Monster 11 Posted January 8, 2013 (edited) So the question is : how's it goin with anticheats and all that stuff to protect legit players from all the hackers\cheaters\scripters?To bring the old news to you. The SA is using Steamworks and therefore be enforcing VAC. Edited January 8, 2013 by Frankenstein's Monster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OhDan 39 Posted January 8, 2013 Looks like zombies will be more of a threat in this game, I'm too excited Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dagyr 16 Posted January 8, 2013 (edited) Can't wait for the SA. Any news about how long this closed test will run? Edited January 8, 2013 by Dagyr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fraggle (DayZ) 15720 Posted January 8, 2013 (edited) The only thing that scares me is all the script bugs\hacks just like in mod right now.Will there be security improvement?Cuz the most major problem is hackers that ruin any multiplayer game of any type.I even managed to play some warZ while waiting for standalone,first few days i was hating on the game but right now i kinda enjoy it except the time when i meet an aimbotter guy.So the question is : how's it goin with anticheats and all that stuff to protect legit players from all the hackers\cheaters\scripters?Read the Dev Tumblre where all of your concerns are addressed by Rocket.I can't stress enough how important it is for people to read this: http://dayzdev.tumblr.com/ and listen to this : http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/116479-interview-with-matthew-lightfoot/ before asking questions, it saves a lot of typing :) Edited January 8, 2013 by Fraggle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zombie123 (DayZ) 18 Posted January 8, 2013 So, closed test can be any day now? I thought It when I read that Rocket twitter: Today I load up DayZ Standalone. FPS is stable... world looks good... zombies chasing me indoors... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cdrive 60 Posted January 8, 2013 (edited) So, closed test can be any day now? I thought It when I read that Rocket twitter: Today I load up DayZ Standalone. FPS is stable... world looks good... zombies chasing me indoors...Pretty much... but I think it's more of a test of the game's systems integrity than an actual playtest.

Mos1ey 6301 Posted January 8, 2013 This closed test is actually mainly for stress testing the new server archetecture rather than giving feedback on game features, that stuff will be taken care of post-release in updates. I'll post it in the Suggestions sub-forum if it hasn't been added though. ^_^ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dasd2516 87 Posted January 10, 2013 so we were right? rocket had to wait until steam sales were over so BIS could make some more cash Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TruckingBucket 10 Posted January 10, 2013 What i want is the dancing from Arma 2 and Perks: Such as Wild Wasteland ( Like in Fallout: New Vegas) where there would be random events where a horde of zombies ( Like hundreds show up) And then the benny hill theme plays, And maybe a circle of zombies will surround you and do the thriller dance. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

amroth 27 Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) If they're adding new animations for the zombies, it would be cool if the hungriest zombies, in their eagerness, sometimes tripped over while lunging at you, and if there was a zombie running right behind him, he falls over the first zombie.Then zombies who have just feasted on another player might not be that desperate to eat, so they could be a bit slower and have fresh blood dripping from their mouths.Probably not easy to implement, but would look pretty cool!

Kra 151 Posted January 10, 2013 Sounds like he might be keeping true to his roots with the game, where it wasn't meant to be a game at all but a terrifying experience. And I'm all for that :] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maar (DayZ) 0 Posted January 11, 2013 1)I am thinking about DayZ and what interesting features could be implemented in the standalone version. An Idea - barricades - This skill will needed crowbar and some kind of skill of course. - There should be both, unlocking and breaking the doors. Just some of houses not at all. Also lockpicking tools should be ussed for chests, drawers and so. Let me know What you think even rocket himself ?2)How to recognize I am medic like - add possible loot helmet sanitary skin (red cross, white background), also the bag colored to red/white ?
