It's been forever since I've played Day Z. What has changed since 2013?
>>344561908
Well, the game actually runs okay now.
Other than that, nothing.
>>344561908
More guns
Cars
Tents
Camping
Animals
Hunting for food
Foraging
Fishing
You can wear school girl uniforms
Still more fun with friends
Runs well
More melee weapons
Helicopter crash sites
NEAF is now civilian loot
More towns
Slightly less cheaters
>>344565168
Is the hit detection still shit?
Is stamina still unlimited meaning you can sprint zigzag non stop as a cheap way to avoid getting shot?
>tfw I play DayZ on empty servers
>playing DayZ a couple days ago
>my Makarov disappears from my hands
>check inventory
>my Mosin is gone too
>>344565168
is there actually zombies now or naw?
The earlier days of day z may have been buggier but they were also a lot cozier
>>344567137
Friend of mine played it today.
Zombies are in the game but not bulky.
He played approximately 1 1/2 hour and encountered not more than a dozen
>>344567538
Yeah they spawn mostly near big towns and the odd nearby small village. I think it's like 250 max per server restart.
They're non-existent out in the wilderness.
>tfw no friends to play DayZ PVE with
>tfw you'll never go fishing together
>tfw you'll never loot the military bases avoiding conflict at all times
>tfw you'll never have a cozy campfire in an open field
>>344567925
>add some guys I met in game to play with
>literally all they want to do ever is to camp NWAF
Anyone up for some DayZ?
>>344568125
That seems to more or less be the endgame for everyone though. ;_;

EU/eastern NA, 18+ only, no grills/traps. Not really interested in PVP unless it's self-defense.
>>344568125
My group used to do that, they eventually got tired of it now we're all maintaining a tent with supplies in a more out of the way location on the map. It's pretty fun.
>>344568427
are you down to fuck as well?
>>344568639
No!
>>344565563
yes and yes

Why did they remove zombies from a zombie game?
I know it was always more between player interaction, but removing the key premise is just weird to me and is why I havent returned since Arma 2 days
>>344568776
I've played enough PVP Anon. I never got to try the other stuff so I want to give it a go now.
>>344568427
>That seems to more or less be the endgame for everyone though
well the best part about DayZ for me is to meet random people on the coast and see what kind of retarded shit happens, unfortunately most people just want to PVP. The social interaction in DayZ is great as long as you don't run into fully geared guys who kill on sight just because they're afraid of losing their gear.
>>344568783
>Why did they remove zombies from a zombie game?
Wasn't that in the early development of standalone? I guess the AI for zombies wasn't ready yet. Not sure anon.
I suggest playing Arma 3 exile mod on a server with zombies, it is way better than that shit that is Standalone. It has all the features of standalone and more.
For example
>it is already better optimised than standalone is
>has more graphics tweaking options,
>Heli crash sites have actual helicopters crashing to spawn them
>Server events
>NO CHEATERS (on official servers, meaning if you are playing pirated game on a pirate server pe prepared for anything),
>Base building actualy worksfuck you todd howard
I am playing since late june and actualy having the time of my life.
>>344568783
Zombies haven't been worked on much yet but the producer talks about their plans for them here if you're interested https://youtu.be/6UsvemwcRQ8?t=16m56s
>>344568961
Arma 3 has some good PVE servers.
>>344565168
>All this time and they still haven't fixed the one main feature of the game, zombies
I'm not asking for 12,000 zombies on the map but in general their AI needs to be functional. Even if you keep the number of zombies low they really need some sophisticated AI to make encounters interesting instead of everyone just sprinting through towns at max speed looting as they go without a care in the world.
That and the fact that playing the same map for 5 years gets boring, at least the mod brought in new ones now and then.

>Ryan Zombies
oh damn, I damn near pissed my pants when i first herd the scream they make when they leap.
>Also fucking zombies laying prone and get up when you are near them
>>344568961
>dayz
>the other stuff
like fucking what? the game is literally "gather gear then go pvp people"
>that feel when you get the firefighter clothing
>>344569974
Like fishing, hunting, experimenting with the tents and stuff which is something I never did.
FOUR MORE YEARS!
>>344569572
thanks anon
>>344561908
Its already getting near retail levels of goodness in my opinion. If you havent played this game yet in a long time, I would suggest waiting some more until 0.61 though. Where they add wolves. Right now I once encountered a group of deer running through the forest, that was pretty cool. Other than that its still the same old DM on a large map game mode. Cars are in here now, some tents as well, a few bases too but there aint that much to do really. Then again I played alone and apart from DM there aint much else to do.
>Working dupe glitch
Does anyone actually play this walking simulator trash? I've never played a more boring "game" in my entire life. Even the mod was shit but standalone is easily 5x worse.
>>344571461
Well id suggest that you get some friends to play with
>>344571556
If a game needs friends to be played with that means it's shit. And I played the mod with friends it was still awful.
>>344568461
Holy shit im doing excactly the same with my group? You part of us?
nothing, there's still fuck all to do, you run for an hour or two and either starve or get shot from the forest somewhere, then kill yourself 10 times for a decent spawn, end up by a construction site or something and end up glitching through a wall and breaking both your legs
>>344571709
Even with friends it probably will get boring kinda, if you have a group of people, the only thing you can do with other people is kill them.
There are no non lethal weapons yet, like tazers. So even with people, its either TDM, or without them its DM.
Or some le funny meme video's when someone catches a freshspawn.
>>344571461
It's more of a hiking simulator.
>>344571709
By this logic all co-op games and gamemodes are automatically shit because you're not going to have any fun in co-op by yourself. Retarded argument.
>>344572161
Retarded argument for a retarded game. Don't see the problem. Co-op oriented games are obviously different you fucking retard. DayZ is an abomination and easily one of the worst of the genre.
>>344571556
this. it's been a bunch of years since i last played but it was super fun with friends
>>344572280
Its not that bad anon, technology wise its doing far above the mods. The open buildings, the spawns, the large terrain has huge potential for future goodness.
The problem is of course the word future. As it is right now, its kinda boring. Too few zombies, no predators, outside cities its mostly empty. Too few vehicles for my taste. The meta game slowly becomes serverhopping near the mil bases with everyone. The timers dont help, even if the timers were 5 minutes people would still be doing it.
dayz is basically just a painting with a nature background somewhat roughly painted in, but its far from ready. Though the nature background in itself already kinda is pretty.
>>344572280
Not different. You specifically said if it needs friends to be played with it's shit. Don't move the goalposts, now.
>>344569920
>>All this time and they still haven't fixed the one main feature of the game, zombies
they are terrible about work prioritization, that's why its been years and the game is still basically the same
