DayZ Standalone

[Mabs]

the zombies run sideways atm as they use soldier AI, and try to flank, essentially
if thats fixed, so they go BLEERHGH and run AT you... then jump.. thats fine, time to shoot

prob atm is they move so erratically its hard to hit them as it is

The problem is, with the zombies coming through doors so quickly you can't get hold of a weapon, even an axe, before they are on you. Last night the road between Cherno and Elektro was littered with bodies, all fresh spawns. Never seen it like that. Also when you are surrounded by zombies and you're dodging to get away, they can now knock you to the ground and you have to get up, which obviously increases the battering you recieve. And all the time there's a bandit like me watching you and waiting to finish you off

Could be people just suiciding to spawn another place

Big ups for saying that if you're a reluctant player, don't buy into the alpha. It's a kind of admission that "we're not done here, it's not finished, wait for it more".

This whole q&a puts the whole project into a different light and i'm actually kind of in the "waiting to play it when it's out in 2014" camp

 

[BloodOmen]

They really need to get that Alpha out the way they keep trying to sell it with "wow new features" is going to make people rather disappointed when it comes out and not what they expect.

I'm playing DayZ Origins atm, that patch pisses me off.

From Mister Rocket;

"I guess the big question that a lot of people have is when we're actually going to get [the retail version of DayZ] out. We've set a date now ... like a window of about a week. And we're not going to say when that is because originally we were going to release [the game's keys] in 50,000 key increments, but we've kind of decided to do everything kind of all together. We really want to focus on making sure the architecture is good, so that we can get feedback."

Bit facepalmy.

I found this on reddit: an update from rocket.

''on friday I removed all the legacy weapons as all weapons coming into dayz are custom made and configured to support the entirely new attachment system. this broke the build completely until today. We also have a very nasty crash, associated with the client/server architecture, that needs to be fixed. We're also auditing and improving security at the architecture level.''

So basically they have fucked it and it could be any time this side of 2020 that it is released!

Every month that the delay this game I lose the will to care.

Yep, the more they delay while at the same time continue to rub it into peoples faces people will just go /fuck DayZ

Also, what the fuck is it with game devs and fucking reddit? do they honestly think the entirety of the internet posts on reddit or something?

Don't forget no vehicles in release either wtf?

Sounds like this attachment system has took up all their time.

They should have just released it without attachments and worked on the attachments while people were actually trying their fucking game >< /stupid devs.com

The thing many people have said about the dayz standalone is that they don't want a lot of new things, fix the security issues and release stuff over time, doing all this at once could really hurt the game.

Dean Hall could very much be a victim of his own success, i imagine him running off to climb a mountain raised a few eyebrows from investors.

Aye, it'll be sad if he fucks it up because it has so much potential but if he keeps fucking around with things and adding more things that simply were not asked for he'll be the victim of his own success like you say.

For his own good I suggest he just comes out and says "look, we're probably looking at a christmas or early next year release" rather than going "within the next week or two" over and over and over continuously pissing people off.

 

[Raven]

They could have written the engine from scratch in the time they have been dicking about with it.

 

[throdgrain]

Indeed, I play the alpha most days and like it for the main part, I don't need so many changes at once, just for the game to work properly in the first place.

 

[Mabs]

on the other hand.. lol

When i saw a new post here i thought it was a post with info fuck you Dean!

Get your game out.

 

[MYstIC G]

yea not really sure why they added a jump to zombies, already bad enough that theres so many of them without having them potentially bugging through walls by jumping.

I didn't understand who would car about taking the door off of one car and putting it on another, that would mean all the cars would have to be the same or look stupid and what would it add to gameplay?

Yea but... jumping zombies? come on whats next? relay zombies that run faster than other zombies? or zombies that use guns? or perhaps zombies that sabotage your camps

 

[Aada]

The jumping zombies knock you down = you dead so annoying.

Its like zombies that randomly knock you out with a single blow, it encourages group play but not everyone likes to walk around holding hands with people, I enjoy lone wolfing myself.

Exactly! as much as i loved rolling with you mabs and Osy although Osy was a liability but he was a comedy It doesn't compare to you vs the world on Dayz.

Here lies the problem the game is becoming more and more bro shooter.

Yup, if it becomes more bro like before release I'll just not bother, cannot stand squad play in survival games because I don't want to put my characters life in random peoples hands.

DayZ has just come out on Arma III

Well, a team called Zoombies has imported it.

You played it? Any good?

 

[Aada]

Apart from being a little buggy but what's new with Dayz? I like playing it on ARMA 3 looks flipping gorgeous I like the view distances, you can see much much further than on ARMA 2.

Also just been on reddit and read a really long thread from angry people telling rocket to stop giving vague dates because he's missed a few predictions already. The latest being E3 when he said it was "imminent".

His latest tweet today I think said that the end of month assessment was about to start. He has mentioned a few times in posts about how he will be upset if it wasn't out by gamescom.

Take it with a pinch of salt though

 

[old.Tohtori]

Thing is that it would be fine if he said "It's done when it's done", but he's not a game developer by trade(quite new to it to be fair) so he's trying to please people. It's understandable, but with a project that is up in the air he really should be a bit more of a dick about it.

 

[Aada]

He should just go silent for now because nobody believes a word he says any more regarding release.
