Great work, love the ongoing work you guys do. :)

But can we have some more informations about the "Balancing of player spawns"? 

I have read alot about it, but no info what is intended by balancing the spawns... you guys wish to make sure that new players never spawn next to each other/far north/not always near the coast or is the balancing more like "make player spawns fast/less clunky"? 

Personaly i would love to see some big change in player spawning (like far north-west / north-east etc.) but thats another thing. ;)

But.. Inventory organisation simulator 2013 is half the fun of DayZ D:

Many of long runs in the country side are kept interesting with it. ;D

Finally. I hate tetris.

Design: M9130 Bayonet can now open cans

 

 

 

serious is that this would be a significant upgrade?

 

is much easier to find a knife or can opener than the bayonet ....

 

I'm starting to get scared of the priority of the developers

I guess they are just doing this cause changing this is just one single line of code ; easy done, maybe less impact on the game... but its a positive change with no need for further work (wont need tweaks/nerfs/buffs) ;

And the rest is just ongoing / w.i.p ... i am exited that the devs have an eye on little details in these early state, as long as they dont focus on those little things. ,)

What about some spawns on the northern airport? Good udpate though +1

- Server: Dead player cleanup (time based)

 

So, how long? While it may be for stability issues or so it's also a huge gameplay aspect.

Server: Dead player cleanup (time based)

 

 

 

I just have read this part on wonder how you guys would want to accomplish a proper clearup. You guys want to have it time-based like "120 seconds"? Because this would be kind of bad if a long range snipe kill happend (or similar).

Maybe you could add a value to each item a player has (the moment he died) and multiply this value by 5 seconds.

 

Basicly like :

 

Player A has just a flashlight (2), batteries (1) and a shirt (1) : Corpse would stay for 25 seconds   : (The typical fresh spawn would be cleaned up pretty fast, suicide corpses will despawn quick / less load on client/server)

 

Player B is basicly fully stuffed with gear, has a value of maybe 100, corpse will stay for 500 seconds, cleanup time will decrease with each item looted off (itemvalue * x seconds). The sniper has enough time to get to his target and if the corpse gets fully looted it will despawn in almost an instant.

 

Just an idea :)

Lets pray this update has some decent optimisation thrown in! But so far so good! :) 

[myzreal 9]

LoL Hicks, are you alone in the office making those changes or some of the team came back already? :P

Really?

[jSharp 14]

This is the kind of fix I like seeing. Fixing the rubberbanding issues (gamebreaking) and long load times for inventory tetris (lower priority, but still part of functionality) updating spawn locations / balancing (high priority), and fixing server-side issues (top priority).

 

Keep up the good work. These are the types of fixes we like!
