purepassion 383 Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) So anyone has an idea where this new town is located?This new town, "Novoselki", is situated north from Chernogorsk.Compair this to the reference picture I took for you :) Edited February 15, 2013 by PurePassion 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mitor 176 Posted February 15, 2013 For me, one of the most interesting parts of this update is the fact that they are attempting to change the lootspawn mechanics so that making loot tables will become impossible. I hate loot tables and I know many players rely heavily on them (or did when they were learning) and it takes away from the point of the game which is exploring and discovering.Absolutely agreed.

Max Planck 7174 Posted February 15, 2013 This new town, "Novoselki" is situated north from Chernogorsk.Compair this to the reference picture I took for you :)Well spotted.I like this:"If your car has a missing or damaged door, take the door off another car. But of course, if they are different colors, you’ll see that. Each part also has various damage states, so we end up with GTA-esque damage visuals."and this:Q: Do you have any malls, hotels, prisons or bigger hospitals planned for the standalone? A: Yes! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maxgor 2314 Posted February 15, 2013 and this:Q: Do you have any malls, hotels, prisons or bigger hospitals planned for the standalone? A: Yes!I like this alot, I want to see if factorys will be included, as I think very large structures that you can explore would be so awesome, since there aren't really any like that. The construction sites sorta are like that with multiple floors, but I'd like to see a massive factory/warehouse district that could lead to good places for exploration and possibly good ambush locations :D So big, you could possibly get lost or turned around in them.

Meeshe 170 Posted February 15, 2013 Can't wait to hear more about the crafting system. Most MMO's crafting is so boring. Would like to see how BI works it.Modifying your vehicles sounds cool. I can't wait to turn that beat up old compact into an armored death machine :D Hope we can run around the area scavenging parts for stuff to help survive in the Zombie apocalypse. I mean like getting a generator working so u can hook it up to some scavenged flood lights to illuminate the area immediately around your survival camp. Or scrounging a factory for some metal poles and with a tarp create a water catch for when it rains. Or hell find parts to create a still. Let you be the Absolut of the Zombie apocalypse.The possibilities are endless, will be great to see what ya'll come up with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattbrockman@ymail.com 8 Posted February 15, 2013 pretty disappointed with those screenshots.. it looks like a bunch of apartments stuck randomly in a town on a hillside.. also, none of those residential buildings even look enterable...the Q&A was great though!

Meeshe 170 Posted February 15, 2013 pretty disappointed with those screenshots.. it looks like a bunch of apartments stuck randomly in a town on a hillside.. also, none of those residential buildings even look enterable...the Q&A was great though!To be fair, I didn't see any of the houses at an angle where we see the front of the house where the door will be. Also look at the sheds, in the mod they dont have doors that can be opened thus they aren't enterable, In the new screenies, they have open doors! I know its silly to be excited about that but theres 2 more examples of more structures being open to explore in the SA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fraggle (DayZ) 15720 Posted February 15, 2013 Well, I think they're currently at the point where around 80% of the buildings on the map are enterable so the change in gameplay are is going to be massive. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted February 15, 2013 Great Q&A, and the screenshots, as always, very beautiful!Regarding the crafting... I'm expecting to see something on the lines of options becoming available as you have the necessary parts.The most recent game I've seen with this system is Teleglitch, where, for example, if you have explosives and nails, you can craft nail ammo (so you don't depend only on real ammo)...Example of this, in about 2 min in: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bat (DayZ) 230 Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) So basically they're making cherno a proper city with a brand new suburb area, and those appartment buildings are twice larger than the ones from the actual game....I'm amazed.

drouz@netti.fi 57 Posted February 15, 2013 We’re hoping to begin our first large-scale capacity testing next week (assuming we have a stable enough build).This was best part for me in this blogpost. Does this test include youtubers,streamers, forum moderators etc. ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
