Bit of a stretch from the original "WILL HAPPEN!" 2012 release

Understandable ofcourse, warz flop gave them that time, even if dean hall's "emotional" responses are getting a bit old.

I notice that in my morning posting glory that came off a bit more cynical then it should

 

[Mabs]

April, not that far away really but honestly I he should just say it will be ready when it's ready, and they had better sort the cheating out as that is the only thing that could ruin his 10mins of fame.

I'll be likely renting a DayZ Standalone server for FH feel free to chip in when its live.

 

[Coldbeard]

Finally some news! Something to look forward to while I enjoy playing on private hives.

 

[Aada]

Those of that have played recently whats the deal with tents? can you destroy them or do they just respawn when the server restarts?

Think you can drive over them with vehicles to destroy them. They should remain during server restarts, but will be auto-removed if inactive for a certain number of days (depending on server settings afaik)

Day Z and the Arma 2 engine were a really good match actually, unless if it wasn't for the terrible lag/desynch making it harder than it already was to actually hit people 400+ meters away.

I agree there were some problems but overall the clunkyness was part of the charm.

Looks ropey as fuck.

I thought the final DayZ was on the ARMA3 engine? Just looks like standard DayZ but with a guy with a crash helmet.

Ropey as fuck?

What do you mean?

Dayz Standalone is on ARMA 2.5 basically, not ARMA 3 yet..

No, it uses Take On Helicopters engine which is part of Arma II: Operation Arrowhead that has been heavily modified with added Arma III coding. As for it looking "Ropey" thats because none of the new textures etc have been added yet, what you're seeing is basically an unpainted version with bits left out because they're either still in development or waiting to be implemented - in short not even worth being called an Alpha yet.

The new video was ace, new zombie pathing is amazing and I love how items are placed now, means you really have to look for items now as opposed to always finding them in a big pile in the middle of a building.

All that said I highly doubt they will meet the April release date they promised us, I can see it being knocked back to May/June.

In short, he's fucked off on holiday mid development to a place with high mortality rates, basically said it'll be 2 months before he's back.

Won't be seeing DayZ until the end of the year then at a guess.

You sound concerned..

Fair play to him, bet it's been hectic

 

[Aada]

lol fair play to him for saying fuck it and up and leaving for a while.

 

[BloodOmen]

Oh don't get me wrong, great that he's going on holiday and all that but he could have went somewhere safer lol.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Another pushback on the dayz standalone? Now who could've foretold that

 

[fettoken]

Ah, might as well wait.

Hey Toht, have you seen the kickstarter project in making by the same team who made Planescape torment?

That is some hot sh*t, if you are into BG:ish gameplay.

 

[old.Tohtori]

You mean the tides of torotoromenatwork? Then yeah, but i'm waiting for wasteland 2 a bit more
