codestargod 102 Posted May 28, 2013 What I am looking forward to is when some entertaining bloke sets up his radio in a remote part of the map and starts broadcasting a show regularly; becoming an in-game celebrity. Much like how DR Wasteland pioneered the whole medic thing.EDIT: Updating players with info, spreading rumors, warning for hotspots. The eyes and ears of Chernarus!Ho will this work if there are multiple servers?Chances are this will render popular servers extremely difficult if not impossible to log into, whereas less travelled servers dead, boring and unpopulated.Players will only want to venture to the servers where this kind of tech is being used...

Either that or suffer through playing on dreary, dead and boring servers.Why can we not have something like EvE's MMO? You have hundreds of thousands of people logged on simultaneously, with everyone having the ability to communicate and interact with everyone else.I demand we have something like this!!!

The persistent universe, because as of now... too many things poof on restart, too little incentive to stay on a server, and it's too easy to memorize everything. I hope later on, they'll be able to diversify the game map a bit (way way way down the road). Edited May 28, 2013 by Katana67 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought that was already pretty well known? Basically there's a small group of closed testers comprising of most of the mods here, Reddit mods Bis employees etc. and has been for quite a while. I think there's 30 - 40 of us in total, maybe more. The next stage is to open that up to a larger group, streamers etc. unless they skip that, who knows.Also, as far as I can see that interview just says they're reviewing the situation in June.

Fraggle (DayZ) 15720 Posted May 28, 2013 I can say it's looking good, more than that and I'll get beaten up. Looks like things are picking up now though so we should be getting some nice info over the next few days/weeks. E3 is one to look out for too, looks like they're planning to show some stuff off there. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
