L0G!N (DayZ) 149 Posted July 22, 2012 @Max, could you please remove your line of text: "I'll start out with a few", as this is pretty outdated by now and a tad confusing, in a sense that people might get the illusion the list is not updated or just yours ... second, could you please move the comment Rocket gave in relation to this thread into a [ quote] [ /quote] and put it pretty much where "ill start out with a few" is now; that way people see that there is atleast some likelyhood that their question may be answered, which may promt more people to ask good questions.Tnx for your understanding and your efforts to keep this thread up-to-date :) ... i sure hope Rocket takes some time out of his day to answer them 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

L0G!N (DayZ) 149 Posted July 24, 2012 No problem :) ... do you have any idea in regards to when this thread is 'done', maybe a week of no questions added or something?Anyways, the list looks cool, some questions are a bit more like suggestions with a ? behind them, but i guess thats not to much of a problem. Looking forward to the answers, and ehrm, i'll try and come up with a few more questions :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NFK 102 Posted July 24, 2012 Can we get an odometer added to the debug window? I would love to know how much distance my character has traveled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A Bush killed me 189 Posted July 24, 2012 Q: do you plan to add more character depth. This could add to some kind of endgame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rocket 16567 Posted July 24, 2012 Q. Actual supermarkets with a lot more items instead of the tiny corner stores ? For instance you could change to hiking boots and grab a proper outdoors jacket to combat the colder conditions at night.The addition of clothing is a key design feature I would like to expand. This has significant programming implications, but I consider it one of the main design priorities.Q. Chances of an overflight by a military plane..just cosmetic for atmosphere.I would prefer all this kind of thing to come from players. I just need to give them the tools to achieve this.Q. More carnage in the cities, the streets are too clean?Absolutely, 100%. This is a key art priority of mine. But not in the short term (content issue: standalone)Q. Are you planning to add some type of armor at some point?Body armor would form part of the clothing system, most likely, if it got implementedQ: How long before we have more large fortifications (log walls, etc)? We've got the code precedent and models for them...A: It will be underground bases. Grow your own food in underground bases. He'll try to add farming in the mod, before the stand alone.I do still envisage some for of above ground fortification. But as noted, I see us having the elaborate, large scale building over months (years) using below ground development.Q: Do you have any plans to turn off name tags across all server difficulties? (I believe name tags / distance markers have no place in a game which is trying to be "authentic").This is the sort of thing we would deal with in standalone. Come up with a standardized method and apply it to everyone.Q: Is it possible to force all servers to update to the latest DayZ release within a certain amount of time or risk being blacklisted? (having such a fractured server base due to running so many different versions is not helping anything).Not really.Part two continued shortly.... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Max Planck 7174 Posted July 24, 2012 (edited) Updated with answers and new questions, I took the liberty to exclude questions that are not game related to keep the OP uncluttered. Well, less cluttered at least.No problem :) ... do you have any idea in regards to when this thread is 'done', maybe a week of no questions added or something?Anyways, the list looks cool, some questions are a bit more like suggestions with a ? behind them, but i guess thats not to much of a problem. Looking forward to the answers, and ehrm, i'll try and come up with a few more questions :)I think the thread will be done when Rocket has answered the next batch of questions, as I'm afraid we might be running out of space in the OP. I might start a new one by then and link to it from here. Or maybe someone else would like to? We'll see.Can we get an odometer added to the debug window? I would love to know how much distance my character has traveled.Great, now I had to look up 'odometer'. Added.Sweet, sweet answersThanks, we appreciate it.Would it be possible for someone to sticky this? A bunch of these questions get their own threads on a regular basis, it would be nice if people could find the answers.
