Just want to point out that next Wednesday (November 2nd) is "The Day of The Dead", which would make for a fitting date! I also had a question regarding light rendering, and whether or not the viewable distance of light sources will increase to match the distance at which we can see objects (1km or so?). Being able to see a campfire on a hill at a 1km radius would make an excellent Bambi magnet. I had a few other questions but they are not .61 related exactly. I was wondering about internal time estimates on vehicle permanence, and also on Aircraft. I do totally understand why making any sort of promise, or anything that can possibly be misconstrued as a promise, amounts to a massive headache waiting to happen when un-forseeable obstacles arise, but perhaps you could tease us with some media or how many milestone updates we are away from possibly seeing the first aircraft iterations? As an even more unrelated aside, the most recent dev report dropped a hint at "upcoming large scale changes to the map" which has me really titillated. It promised more on that in the future, but could you give us a more specific hint? :D 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woody188887 21 Posted October 26, 2016 Think the dev team should devo have a look at implementing the star citizen network bubble tech (the one that allows players to walk around huge ships without flipping through) into Dayz. Imagine being able to run around the bus while someone drove. Shooting infected as you go. Or driving a vehicle into the back of cargo plane etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't even get so much as a link to a written list of Eden features and functionality. I'll assume that someone just forgot that this was the .61 discussion thread, and that my specific questions were asking which of these sound behaviors for gunshots we should be expecting to see in .61. I've googled it, I've searched these forums, and I've asked directly. The best documentation I've found to explain Eden at all was this ambiguously worded promotional page, and it makes no mention of whether reflective amplification will take place, such as would happen in long, steep valleys or large industrial buildings. Is there any way I can get an answer on this? It would save me hours of trying to convince my friends to do frustratingly tedious and dangerously loud physics experiments on jam-packed full experimental servers on day one. I'd much prefer to hit the ground running in this respect. Thanks. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skadefr0en 61 Posted October 27, 2016 I just want to throw in my deep respect and appreciation for all the amazing work the devs are doing to make this game interesting on so many levels. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hope you enjoy it - I will swing by after the SR to catch up on questions and comments! So does this mean that the infected will have a chance to spawn inside buildiings in .61? At 53 seconds there is a house with some infected in it. Did those things actually spawn in there? Also, WILL INFECTED HAVE FOOTSTEP NOISES?!?! I missed it the first time I watched the video on my cellphone, but when I put on headphones and turn it up, you can clearly hear footstep sounds coming from the infected guys in the house. Whenever they get near you can actually hear their steps before they get to you! My only question is about the dynamically positioned sounds, especially infected groans. Will that be in .61? It was hard to tell from the video. Looks and sounds great either way, and I can't wait to try it! Edited October 27, 2016 by JBURNS489 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hicks_206 (DayZ) 4297 Posted October 27, 2016 Hey guys - heads up for you. We are at a point in which we need to gather some more data in order to continue improving server performance, so we're going to try and get some exp .61 servers up today for that purpose. Will post some more about this shortly, but I have a few meetings I need to make. 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hicks_206 (DayZ) 4297 Posted October 27, 2016 Alright - to elaborate a bit more.. The goal here today is to generate data (via internal profiling tools and logs) for the gameplay programming team to continue their work on improving those two blockers listed in the Status Report. We're currently not certain how *long* the servers will be online, but we're aiming to get them up today. So - temper your expectations. This will be the first time we've seen it operate under a larger userbase - so if possible, make sure you are recording your gameplay and can either open tickets on the feedback tracker, or make posts on the forums detailing any issues you encounter. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keep up the good works and good luck with the last blockers ! Ohh! I don't believe so no, unfortunately the .61 timeline does not line up with an opportunity like that. While I will be at PAX Australia - the infrastructure we have set up there does not provide us that chance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will flares do this with the light render upgrade in .61? Look how far away that is :D BTW: keep up the great work, I love how everything is coming along. While we have setup functionality for customizing rendering distance on objects in script, I don't expect to see any of this setup in .61 specifically. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
