Devblog update: Where is the Standalone?

Recommended Posts

What are you talking about? I was out for 2 days from this forum, tell me what is going on? Is the test going to be tonight with streams everywhere?

EDIT: How can I get to the test? Will I need to buy from Steam?

Most likely no. You folks shouldn't really get all hyped up just because some forum user said something random like that, unless that forum user is Rocket or at least someone of moderators or something.

EDIT: How can I get to the test? Will I need to buy from Steam?

The testers will likely just get hand-picked by the staff and you probably can't influence that too much I guess. That also doesn't involve buying anything from steam.

But those animations are also high-speed-low-drag-tactical-ninja-advanced-operator moves, so I don't know how well they fit in to the narrative of the player being some average dumbass waking up at the beach.

Maybe the strongest argument about the tactical animations. But as i said at a previous post you can "unlock" stances aka animations as you go with fire fight experience. But i dont have any thoughts of what happens when you die and your retarded survivor is again at the beach :D

The devs creating Suvarium which was basically supposed to be STALKER 2 asked the community how they should make their game, I said...

Copy Stalker: Shadow of Cherno/Call of Pripyat as far as setting. Keep the dark eerie music and sound effects. And smash all that into DayZ! lol.

Hi,

In regards your post, I've also noticed quite a few other people want to see a more STALKER vibe, so with that in mind check out my dev blog, where I'm doing just that:

http://meshcarver.blogspot.com/

Hopefully, sometime in the future Dayz SA will allow custom maps, and then this should be ready for that happy day..! :D

Either way, you'll get the best of both worlds, as this map I'm doing will be so post-apoc and filthy it should put a smile on your face, and you also get the new Cherno+ which from the screenies looks amazing imo...

Anyway, feel free to leave some crits and comments too on my dev blog...

Looking forwards to the SA..!

Marc

Good work on your 3d models.

The rumour has come from one guy just saying "streaming starts tonight".

I don't see how it's possible :)

It was talked about at length on these forums a while ago by Rocket. In short, lot's of work is being done to prevent scripting, VAC is just one of many things that will protect the SA. It makes sense that they don't really want to publicise or go into any detail about the measure's being taken.

I can live with that. I believe the mod in it's current configuration taught many lessons on vulnerabilities.

The map needs a nuclear power station. Everyone knows radiation = zooombies.

I hope and wish that the devs manage to find ways for more "positive" player interaction. There must be much more things do do with other players instead of just killing them, give us options to achieve something together without loosing the philosophy of player driven environments.

I hope that the increased difficultly with zombies will lead to this. If people have a really hard time just surviving the zombies, then it is most likely that they will start trying to work together.

Very happy that some people actually understand the philosophy that Rocket has stated many times. Instead of PvE servers, "balanced" weapons, and listening to people complain about bandits.

If systems are implemented which create tension and constant threats, then players will have less time/desire/capability to go just willy-nilly killing fresh spawns and the like. That will sure as shit still happen, but it will be far less frequent if players are given things to occupy their time. Things like managing disease, wounds, defending settlements, actually foraging, an effective hunting system, a more robust and complex vehicle repair/customization system, zombies being more of a threat... will all occupy the player's time and resources for the better.

Some people might call these survival aspects boring and tedious, many including myself do not.
