>>388105816
>what is the first thing you will do?
Continue to wait for the game to be finished and out of early access.

>>388105869
Eugen said that there could be mod support in the next update, and there have been pics of a snow map in progress so it's possible.

>>388105816
game is dead, if i ever meat dean hall im punching him in the face

>>388105909
Will you consider trying the beta? It could improve the game drastically if they do it right. Hopefully we don't have a NMS situation

>>388105816
is it going to leave early access when it hits beta? can't wait to finally refund it

>>388105997
If they release a video detailing what the game will be like in depth in beta I possibly would.

>>388105964
It still has an active player base and community as far as I'm concerned

>>388106050
Not really in-depth and has some bugs but there is a Gamescom demo, (I think it ended now) and videos of it. There is an interview by a German company that i recommend watching if you're interested.

>>388105816
please don't shill for this game

it was a massive letdown and still continues to be after so many tried to replicate it and failed

>>388106360
It has really with every update recently. Beta will be a game changer. Trust me.

I bought DayZ during the fad era but only got to try it recently. The animations and character models look like such ass. Gameplay was dull as fuck too. I'm not expecting 'The Division' level quality but holy shit. I doubt the next update will fix that enough to make it bearable.

>>388106360
I guess the good thing is that it stays true to its core and doesn't take the arcade PvP shooter route

>>388106561
The next update's focus is the animations, fluidity of movement, melee, etc. Also some new character models.

The reason for no major updates is because they have been working on the new engine the whole time and it would be pointless to put out stuff that would have to be remade in the old engine.

>>388106665
The Gamescom demo killed my hopes for this game when I saw that its running at 5 fps again

>>388105935
source on the snow map?

>>388105909
Bannerlord will probably come out at that point.

>>388106801
It's a demo. The last update got some decent optimization, and hopefully beta will too.

I assume he is talking about Namalsk, the devs ported it internally 2 years ago as a modding test. It could be one of the first maps available when they unlock modding.

>>388107073
That's it. I forgot the name. If they are going to add a new map it's probably this.

Fuck off Dean, you had your chance and you blew it.

>>388107005
That was in the mod too and it was amazing

>>388105816

DayZ is fucking awesome

Given up on it.

Whatever they add now is too little too late.

When will they release that patch?

>>388108105
No date yet. I'm guessing that sometime this year or early-mid 2018.

I loved Day Z but there is no way it's ever coming back, they've had years and still can't seem to figure out that they need to fix the core mechanics people wanted done and not add frilly shit no one asked for. With PUBG essentially being a boiled down Day Z experience it's over, no chance.

Are you serious? a feature that has been in the mod long before the standalone even released? Jesus christ

>>388108209
It's pretty obvious at this point they don't care about being as popular as Jeff Goldblum's Shekelgrounds, they want to stick to their simulation roots and make a game for the core fans.

They haven't added it yet.

>>388108207
wtf dude
almost another whole year
what have they been doing?

>>388109875
Making a new engine. Mid-2018 is the worst case scenario.

>>388105816
this is one of the most unnecessary games i have ever seen
pretty much every other open world, suvival crafting, early access game has over taken it in terms of development

they add the anything in their semi or annual updates and every dayz mod has adds it 1-2 weeks later with a full games worth of content

how are they this fucking incompetent
I haven't even bought the game and i'm fucking upset

>>388109939
and best case scenario is January?

>>388109939
too bad the new engine is still a clunky piece of garbage. why didn't they just use the arma 3 engine in the first place? sure it's not that good either but still better than the shit they've come up with

>>388109589
anon their not releasing blood suckers, blood suckers were ripped from stalker whole sale, and adding a unique enemy with "complex" of mechanics and ai as the mod would probably take them another year

>>388110023
Nah, I'd say December

>>388110078
Because it will be the engine they will use for Arma 4 apparently.

>>388110112
thats not too bad
also how can I find a populated server?
every server I see is literally 0/50

>>388110334
filter empty servers dumbass have you not used a server browser before

>>388110334
They recently changed the server browser, there is an "official" tab and a "community" tab, make sure you select community.

After that if no server is populated, there should be an option like "Sort by population" or simply clicking the "x/60" tab.

(Sorry I don't know the exact button, haven't played in a while)

> refund me-me
Face it, /v/. You have no reason to dislike this game. You're just hopping on the bandwaggon.

DayZ will likely return to the top 20 played list once it exits alpha. The Developers have worked tremendously on the engine. Sorry the early access you paid for wasn't the polished game, the disclaimer was obvious but you guys can't read.

>>388105816
There needs to be a class action lawsuit against these people.

>>388111802
This is what I don't understand. There is a disclaimer on the Steam page AND when you enter the game. You can't miss it, the devs warn you and people still complain.

DayZ is the best game ever made

Its the ultimate stalker-online.
It's the ultimate casual-filter
casualn00bs can't handle the permadeath lololol

>>388111802
The disclaimer never told me the standalone would be worse than the mod I played in 2012. I learned my lesson though, first and last early access game I ever buy. Nothing is going to save your garbage game

>>388111802
>being this fucking delusional

>>388111802
>once it exits alpha

So never

>>388112578
It did tell you that the game will have major issues and it did tell you not to buy it unless you want to actively support development.

>Last 30 Days Average: 2,745.5

It's fucking dead. I hope they eventually leave beta so I can get my fucking money back.

>>388112249
There is a fundamental disconnect between consumers and developers. Consumers have no clue how video games are made, and developers have no clue how to effectively communicate that.

>>388112659
le funny DayZ will never exit alpha meme

>>388112868
The meme is justified when even the mod creator abandoned it and it's been stuck in alpha for 3 fucking years you shiteater

>>388112930

Most games of this caliber take that long to develop, the difference is most developers choose not to release them mid-development.

Because taking time to recreate the zombie AI which will be replaced because they are making a new engine is a great idea.

>>388113586
You know, I didn't play too much of the mod, although it could be kinda laggy at times at least heading towards the inner cities without enough gear was dangerous because of the sheer amount of zombies, seriously dozens could aggro if you made too much noise shooting. About two years ago when I played retail zombies were a joke.

>>388113968
The zombies got a new spawning system which spawns more zombies the more people there are in an area. Don't know about AI though, I didn't play 2 years ago.

That was the case two years ago. They have an actual demo at Gamescom which shows some of the core mechanics.

I can't wait to refund this piece of shit the second it leaves EA.

Thank you for the detailed explanation. Much appreciated

Pretty much this
If this game would've reached half its potential back in 2013/14 it would've been fucking revolutionary
What we got was another wastedpotential.exe

>>388115551
Honest question. What if the game turns out to be great outclassing every other game in that genre? Will you refund it or try it?

>>388115575
I'd say it's gonna be good for today's standards after they implement the new engine.

I do agree that they wasted their potential but at least it's going in the right direction now.

>>388110563
>>388110543
I did. this was about a month ago and it still said 0/50 for all of them
even restarted my game a couple of times

>>388115681
not him but im still gonna refund it and then get my 2 hours to see if its good

>>388115870
I have no idea why, I guess maybe try now? Could you join the servers? Every Wednesday all servers are closed for maintenance for a period of time.

>>388115681
DayZ will never outclass anything, it's a great concept with failed execution. They'd have to start over. PUBG is basically the gameplay people wanted from DayZ, not the retarded zombies and survival.

>>388115969
But the price is going to increase after full release, or so I heard.

>>388116067
That's probably why people hate DayZ. The majority prefer fast-paced arcade combat rather than simulation-tier survival. I guess I'm in the minority.

The good thing is that the devs stay true to the core instead of moving to a PUBG styled game to rack up sales.

>>388116067
They are also basically starting over since they are making the new engine. The gameplay will change completely with the new player controller and animation system.

>>388115996

>DayZ shiteaters forgetting that people have the mental capacity for memory and negative association

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. It doesn't matter how much the devs stick to their 'vision' or the amount of time they spend trying to polish their turd; DayZ is always going to be that buggy piece of shit unfinished game they wish they could refund that spent 3+ years in alpha and that its creator abandoned completely in everyone's minds. It's a PR disaster and no amount of shilling is going to change that, especially since PUBG is on its way to being the most played game on Steam

>>388116912
Dean Hall is a faggot. I don't know why they didn't allow mod support but it will likely be in the next update. Those broken promises were 2 years ago, we have a gameplay demo of the next update now.

>>388116968

>PUBG

DayZ and PUBG are two completely different games and people shouldn't compare them. PlayerUnknown himself said that the hate towards DayZ devs is not deserved.

4chan won't let me paste the link so I will just paste the interview

RPS: It does feel as if there’s a lot of people frustrated though with H1Z1 and DayZ, that they’re games that never seem to be finished, and they’re in early access and it’s been years and there still bugs.
PU: Game development is hard. What makes it hard is, we work with Unreal, which is a joy because they have a company that is focused on making an engine. So there’s 40 people just working on code for the engine. You look at Daybreak and Bohemia, they’re working on their own engines, and that’s just infinitely harder. I think the ForgeLight engine is a ten year old engine. Now, they’ve improved it considerably since then, but it’s the same with the Arma engine, it’s 15 years old. Now DayZ are making a new engine, and that’s just something which takes time.

>>388117460
Link to reddit post:

https://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/6lkgn4/at_least_player_unknown_seems_to_comprehend_what/

>>388117460
It doesn't matter if they're different games, they're still early access games where you're dropped onto a map with other people and expected to survive. The format's different but PUBG is where people are getting their fix now and nobody's going to spare a second thought for the disaster that is DayZ

>>388116968
What I can't understand is how hard it is to get this goddamned formula right. Every attempt at this type of game so far has failed miserably; DayZ standalone, H1Z1, The Dead Linger, and another half dozen shits that never got off the ground.

The mod version of DayZ circa spring 2012 got it more "right" than attempts with actual money behind them and years of professional work, it's boggling.

>DayZ and PUBG are two completely different games and people shouldn't compare them.

They're both games where you have one life, you must loot, and getting into fights matter. One just days all three things way fucking better.

God, I'm so fucking bitter about this game. I've been playing since the early days of the mods and it was some of the most fun I'd had in my life, infuriating bugs and all. There was no better feeling than touching off in a huey for the first time ever with all your friends losing their minds on teamspeak. Then standalone came and it went completely to shit. What a disgrace. DayZ honestly could have been one of the greatest games of all time, but instead we got this hot turd.

>>388117809
DayZ is a survival simulator where your progress is saved, with diseases, managing your food, etc.

PUBG is an arena deathmatch game where you loot.

PUBG is great but it's completely different.

Wrong. PUBG is all the fun of DayZ taken out and compressed into 30 minutes. The stakes are still high because of perma death. PUBG is basically DayZ without looking 6 different kind of boots and a pistol with no ammo for two hours then being shot. Dare I say, PUBG is DayZ, but actually fun.

It STILL doesn't have base building? Base building was in the mod like 1-2 years before standalone came out.

What in the fuck have they been doing all these years?

It has not been implemented because they are working on a new engine. It would be pointless because they would have to remake it all over again for the new engine and development would be much longer.

There was base building in the mod? I thought it was just limited to putting down tents, barbed wire, tank traps, etc?

No, toward the end before the mod went full dead, they added base building which enabled players to create full on complexes made of sandbags and shit.

I have said this too many times in this thread. They are working on a new engine. Which means new zombies. New everything.

>>388123118
So 4 years of alpha, another 4 on beta?

>>388123202
I'll try to answer this seriously. I'd say 6 months to 1 year of beta.

>>388123201
New bugs, too.

>>388123290
Why should they follow a neat timeline now when they didn't give a fuck for 4 years?

>>388123419
Exactly, except after they implement everything they will focus solely on fixing bugs.

>NEW EVERYTHING
You really believe that retooling their old engine means something completely new? At the veryy beginning they already talked along the lines of "ripping out anything useless" from the old engine but for years later and the game hasn't made much progress.

They have been working on a new engine for most of the development time. Now that they won't have to worry about a new engine they can solely focus on the game itself.

>retooling their old engine.
No. It's a brand new engine. They are making a new player controller which will completely change the gameplay. Also new assets, models, etc. So yes, most things will be new.

>>388123902
can you show us some footage the devs have provided of this fantastical new engine and assets? or even a post where they claim what you are claiming?

>>388124397
look up dayz gamescom 2017

>>388124397
Just look at the status reports if you want to see them making the claim.

If you want to see some gameplay (WIP), there's a gameplay demo at Gamescom and a German company did an interview with Eugen.


I also reccomend looking at the subreddit. Has some good info there.

It's the exact same shit. I played DayZ since the early days of the mod and bought the game day 1. I've clocked in more hours than should be reasonable and I can safely say DayZ is dead. This shit is literally nothing, we aren't ever going to get the game we were promised and we still aren't even as good as the mod was day 1. DayZ has been the saddest shit show I've ever seen.

People still shilling this piece of shit. Go play your sequel to this, the casual magnet PUBG.
