The only reason people buy this game is because of streamers, don't bother.
>>321098428
Why bother when you can get ARMA 2 and Operation Arrowhead, and thus the DayZ mod for 5 bucks and have a much better and much more complete game.
Like, one that has actual zombies in it. And a better medical system.
>>321099187
Just drawing attention to the fact that they're kikes.
>>321099187
I still have the humble bundle Arma 2 codes. Should I give it a try or just fuck it?

Do you not think the game will be good eventually? Do you not think there's a reason for the delays? If you played the mod in 2012 then you must have some experience with ArmA, and Bohemia as a company. They don't abandon their games.
>>321098428
H1Z1 is better.
Is it worth it? Or should I get the DayZ Mod?
Dead old game that made a brief revival a year ago but then died for good.
Introduced paid advantage ',cosmetics only for now guise, promise' options on private servers and the last few fucked off.
Install Arma2 instead and crank the graphics options upto max
>>321099187
>Why bother when you can get ARMA 2 and Operation Arrowhead, and thus the DayZ mod for 5 bucks and have a much better and much more complete game.
Is there any difference between getting the standalone version and that?
>>321099945
Lots of differences that you should look into for yourself, but in all honesty: just get arma2, for now. DayZ standalone if it is ever ready, won't be for a long time yet
>>321099828
I thought Deano had some other team of his own working on the game now? They keep spending their time putting in useless shit instead of fixing core issues. Most recent update I read about was roaming wolves that can attack you even though zombies still don't properly work and the framerate absolutely tanks in built up areas. Tanks worse on my SSD and R9 290x compared to back in 2012 when I used a mechanical HDD and a 6970

I find it hilarious. The game barely runs on high end rigs
>>321100220
Rocket was contracted for 1 year as DayZ SA's project lead, after it expired he left and formed his own studio. They are fixing the core issues by developing a new engine based off the ArmA one, but it takes a long time to make a new engine. You can see some of this progress by adding -newui as a DayZ launch parameter in Steam; the new tech is even buggier and broken than vanilla but it has doubled the framerate in cities, and that's without the new rendering module. It stays at about 40 FPS for me which is still pretty shit, but it's far better than 20.
Looks like a fellow /v/ poster already got banned on the forums

Implementing tertiary features while major issues remain unfixed. Who gives a fuck about horticulture when you still can't consistently hit any of the thirty or so zeds on a server?

The """""sale""""" price is just 20 cents cheaper than what the game cost about a year ago, they jacked up the price because the game is getting closer to being done supposedly.

But for real, don't buy DayZ, ever. The dev team is criminally incompetent and the lead guy has already taken his 47 new lambos and left.
>>321102058
Yes. A massive patch just rolled out which fixed a lot of shit and readded fuck tonnes of zombies and other stuff.

Why doesnt a larger company take the idea?
Theres been 500 attempts and shitty spinoffs by small devs. Its obvious people crave it, why wont someone take the reigns?
Guarenteed billion copies sold
>>321103440
Isn't that what Sony did with H1Z1?
Although that game seems pretty shit too so far, I'm not even going to touch it until the full version is released for free, as promised. (Which will probably be never anyway). I've already shelled out $30 for DayZ and that was a total piece of shit, I'm not going to make the same mistake twice.
>>321102761
I'm not too familiar with these games is last stand considered battle royale in h1z1 or is it something different?
>>321103091
>THE NEW RENDERER AND ENGINE R CUMING
Because they are you fucking retard. Literally no evidence to say they're not. You think the devblogs are all elaborate stories to fool the 5 people left who care about the game? That the devs are paid to post on the forums to keep these same 5 people interested? And the opt-in UI tech added in the last patch is all smoke and mirrors? Keep on with the baseless hate circlejerk.

Wrong choice of words. Sure the game is shit now, but to say the engine is not coming and that Bohemia are liars is ignorant.
>>321103091
Thanks.
>>321103440
Because a shitass mod for Arma does it way better than they can hope to. Arma 3 mods blow any of the competition out of the water.
Simple fact is, modders are more dedicated and better at their jobs than proper devs are. Why, I dunno.
>>321100887
What the fuck possessed them to base DayZ Standalone off of Arma 2 (and one of the wonky forks for the helicopter training sim expansion at that) instead of Arma 3?
It was time for an Arma 3 explicitly because Arma 2 had outstayed its welcome and was a buggy piece of unoptimized garbage, and they tried to pile a full scale zombie apocalypse scenario on top of that?
>>321106138
I don't know, I guess because when they started working on it the arma 3 engine wasn't finished. There's not a huge difference between 2 and 3 anyway, the controls are smoother on 3's and it has some DX11 capabilities but that's it.
>>321106491
>the controls are smoother on 3's and it has some DX11 capabilities
That's a pretty big deal. Especially the controls. Trying to play Arma 2 after 3 is fucking painful.
>>321098428
good it'll prevent more innocent souls having to suffer this garbage game
>>321099945
Better medical system, more zombies, more weapons, more vehicles, better combat, better UI, better inventory in some cases, better atmosphere due to music if you do more of the actual survival horror route.
Only thing that DayZ standalone has over the mod is some graphic updates and a more fleshed out hunger and thirst system.
>>321100907
>Who gives a fuck about horticulture when you still can't consistently hit any of the thirty or so zeds on a server?
When have they ever had double digit zeds?
Last 20 hours of gameplay I've only seen one glitched out zombie that probably wasn't supposed to be there.
>>321107216
The way zombies work now is that there's a few around the place but if you shoot a gun a ton of them spawn near you and come towards the sound.
>>321103091
Yeah, even the DayZ mod at it's worst would still have 200-300 zombies running around.
One of DayZ's problems is that it never figured out how to make zombies work in the game.
>>321103785
>Literally no evidence to say they're not.
It's trying to prove a negative.
I won't believe it until I see it, because so far, the devs have crushed any idea that they're competent enough to actually make this thing work.
>>321106075
>Arma 3 mods blow any of the competition out of the water.
Pretty much this.
There were ARMA 3 mods that came out within 6 months of release that were 10x better than anything DayZ SA has shown thus far.
>>321107510
MEANWHILE THE FREE MOD FOR ARMA 3 IS MILES BETTER
>>321107510
That's stupid.
Again, this is removing a feature from the mod (zombies come at the sound of guns in large numbers), then polish it a bit, re add the feature the mod has had for 3 years now, and act like it's some sort of accomplishment when they could have done little more than copy and pasted some code and gotten the job done.
>>321107510
That is retarded.
Give me a wandering fucking horde that I have to avoid, not a single zombie with x-ray vision and Horton's hearing that suddenly spawns dozens of zombies from the fucking aether.
>>321104313
The engine may be coming, but people need to stop acting like this single act will save the entire fucking game.
Unless theres a massive uptick in the rate that content comes out, this game is more or less dead in the water.
>>321108773
The issue I think is that Bohemia prioritizes the development of the engine (for ArmA 4) over the development of DayZ.
>>321108648
Pretty much.
You need those big wandering hordes in the thousands to lay siege to camps or whatever, and/or something like the AI Director to help distribute zombies and shit in a dynamic fashion.
>>321103785
>New engine
Stop using words you don't understand faggot
Rust and The Forest deliver exactly what Day Z do and better.
>>321109613
Oh sorry I meant "the replacement of major legacy RV modules and the overhaul of the shit that's left"
>>321100959
if that's all you play, sure. survival is really fun on h1z1.
>>321109725
I've played the Forest.
No, it does not.
What's actually really tragic about DayZ, is that as shit as it is, it's still the closest thing there is to a no shit Zombie Apocalypse survival horror simulator.
It's a mess at best, but everything else that's tried it is worse and nowhere as engaging, H1Z1, Project Zomboid, The Forest, Rust, ARK, ect.
>>321110148
That's because none of those games have a map even half as large as DayZ's and they aren't actively trying to kill the player as much as possible (through bugs or not)
>>321110087
All H1Z1 survival is, is casualized DayZ. It's just super easy. It's way too easy to survive.
I've put like 50 hours into it and I literally have never died. I'd even venture that I'd never had my hunger, thirst or health drop under 50%.
go go dayz shilling
>>321099559
About refunds, can I refund a game without giving a reason?
>>321110561
i can't measure survival without player interaction, not just the upkeep elements. and i usually played on big servers because it kept competition lively. i haven't logged on in several months, but i had clocked a good 180 hours on survival alone with a handful of BRs.
>>321108136
which one i've seen a few dayz clones for 3
>>321110437
>ark, rust , and h1z1 take a shit on it
Maybe ark, only in the sense that things literally shit on things in that game.
That's all it was. Farts and shit the game.
It was a garbage game.
Same with H1Z1. It's just DayZ super easy casual mode. It's DayZ after you remove everything that made it remotely interesting.
>>321101749
I never understood the hunger and thirst shit. Or the setting in dayz for that matter. Just make a true open world stalker with (actual) multiplayer and we are golden.
>>321111042
stalker had thirst and hunger
>>321111240
they were gimmick mechanics that were incredibly forgetful
>>321110759
>i can't measure survival without player interaction
I've come across players before. Half of them just were helpful, the others just sucked at aiming or something.
But part of that is because the actual gunplay is so much less interesting.
DayZ, being based on ARMA 2, there was a lot more of just getting sniped out of nowhere by a guy in a ghille suit you never saw.
H1Z1, no one shot me at a distance over 100 meters.
So, even the PVP is hurt because of how casual it is. Especially since there's no real meaningful medical system, no broken bones, pain status, getting knocked out, bleeding is a joke, you can restore all of your health by putting 4-5 bandages on for gunshots, ect.
The game is just super easy mode for anyone who's played an FPS and/or DayZ before, it's a night and day difference.
>>321111240
They also had invisible creatures that were no shit horrifying and could wreck your shit instantly if you weren't careful. Zombies are boring as hell comparatively.
>>321111042
>I never understood the hunger and thirst shit.
It's survival horror.
I do like the hunger and thirst stuff, as well as the medical shit. That's probably the only thing that the DayZ SA might have over the mod is a more in depth hunger/thirst system to play into the survival aspects.
>Or the setting in dayz for that matter.
It's lifted right from ARMA 2, Chernarus, former Warsaw Pact nation in Eastern Europe bordering with Russia.
I'd love to see a true open world MMO Stalker, but I'd want that to be a very different game than what DayZ is, they're too different, only having similar settings and maybe like tone and moods, but very different approaches, mechanics and circumstance.
>>321111712
>Zombies are boring as hell comparatively.
They could work on it to make them terrifying again.
Like how the Xenomorphs were pretty much a joke, and then Alien Isolation made Xenos pants shittingly terrifying again.
>>321111712
well, stalker had zombies too, remember. thats what the brain scorcher did
game is a piece of shit, no one should play it
bought it before steam refunds and regret wasting money on this garbage shit

>>321112250
...which is what zombies are. shoot them in the head? now, if your gonna say headshots are spongy, thats why you play it on master, the only difficulty that scales the headshot multiplier the way its ment to be. sure, you will get one shotted, but anyone NOT wearing a helmet will too. none of that stumbling around and taking tons of bullets.
really, if you didnt play on master, go do it
>>321103091
>400sq km map
the map is 225sq km you fucking retard
goes to show you're just here baiting
Isn't there a way people could call them out on their bullshit? Like a petition or something to at least get refunded?
It's obvious that this isn't getting seriously worked on, they never met any deadlines.
People just seemed to forget about it, they shouldn't, they should be mad.
But then again, every time an early access survival game comes out on steam it's instant best-seller so I guess people are just retarded.

They don't want to make a PvP shooter. They are pretty open about it be fair. They want a survival sim first, any combat a distant second.
Just a shame they've taken your money on the basis of a totally different game from what they are trying to make,
>>321098428
Were these cunts not supposed to release the official 'beta' version in December 2015?
What the fuck are they doing?

Well it is still in alpha. Sure, they're taking their sweet time with it, but nonetheless prioritizing optimalisation when you're still adding features is pointless.

There is no reason why an older game should be cheaper.
