***Dayz: Stand Alone Thread***

I don't think he should allow publicly ran servers just yet until a lot of issues have been worked out. You just know people will be rebooting their servers to get fresh loot/change time to their advantage.

Textbook? It is an alpha. You're making yourself look like an idiot. Seeing as you've bought it knowing this. There is a **** like you on another forum I browse. Dance about with other gamers trying all the latest casually but not having a scooby what they're actually doing. Quit whining, if you don't like it, bugger off :)

I have to agree, but I do think we need some Euro based servers that are not night time when most people play (after 7pm UK time), maybe allow admins to select a timezone when setting up the server and leave it at that.

It makes no difference whether its privately hosted or rented, you can rent them now anyway and reboot them when ever you want. That cat is already out of the bag.

We have a 24gig 16core dedi box sat in a data center waiting for for this and we don't want to have to pay a GSP more for something that we can already host.

Urgh, that's not good news. Should not let the pubic host during an alpha test. Hopefully he gets a system in place that locks loot spawning so you don't get fresh loot on respawn or this is going to be abused big time.
 
Yeah, but thing is it does not really matter. People will do as you say maybe 3-4 hours night. When they allow private hives it will just be a matter of finding the community that suits your gameplay cough "CPC" cough

So...

Not read much of this thread (or the official forums for that matter), but loot is extremely scarce isn't it? I fell unconscious as did my mate in a matter of 20 minutes. Between us we found a rotten banana, rotten kiwi, a wrench and a motorbike helmet lol.

Awesome.

Two things I've noticed on the technical front.

- No SLi support yet

- Tragic frame rate when looking at, or in large towns still

- Green cap would stay at feet when worn

Also
- Get stuck walking and key strokes will not change it without restarting

- Flashlight beam stays in last point when putting away (leaving behind a light stain to tell people you were there)

(Yes I know it's an alpha but brings back memories of the the mod)



I've not played the mod for a good few months, possibly half a year. Yes this version feels empty, but in the same breath it also feels more like a game. The character models, the lighting and general feel of the engine is coming together nicely. After the warnings they've put out that this is an alpha and that people should expect the game to be sparse, the fact people are still moaning is quite funny really.

With the mod my general feeling after I stopped playing regularly was "ok that's enough now". There are a lot of varying servers and it was becoming difficult to find a well balanced one, with the addition of scripting and admins taking advantage server resets constantly. I'm sticking with this. With the public having access to it now, give it a couple of months and it's going to come together.

Have posted this before but it is worth repeating.

Use nvidia inspector and load arma 3 or arma 2 operation arrowhead profiles apply dayz to this profile and instant sli
 
Hopefully something like randomise in-game time on a server reboot gets put in at least. That or they can figure out a fully working way to have an increased speed for day/night cycle. Needs more (one?) mercenary difficulty servers also. Non of this 3rd person sit behind cover nonsense.

3rd person cant be expoted like it used to ;) watch the camera when you go behind walls for eg .
 
The problem with 3rd person is seeing people around corners which you can still do. They should have locked it to 1st person then 3rd person for vehicles.
