They should have just charged for 1.0 of the mod and run making the standalone in parallel.

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


Pretty much this - the fact that some modders have ported DayZ mod over to Arma III should send alarm bells ringing for Dean Hall because if they continue fixing it up on the Arma III engine and Dean keeps delaying Stand Alone then DayZ Standalone has some fierce competition.... with itself.

If I had to be brutally honest i'd rather see the Arma III DayZ Mod succeed at this point.

Thing is, personally, I have pretty huge performance issues on the Arma III version ( I know my PC is shit ) but I'd like to think the Stand Alone is focusing on performance since Arma isn't really known for it's performance.

God knows what Standalone is focusing on, at this point it may as well be focused on helping Dean Hall climb another mountain because its clearly not coming out any time soon :p

To be quite honest...

The guy brought a mod out on a game, and then quite quickly decided to make it stand alone, think how long these massive titles are in production for prior to your average joe having knowledge of their existence, I mean, when you see a film being made, you're not like OMG WHERE IS IT RAH RAH...

I think the reason he's vague is because he doesn't want people to anticipate it's release, he wants people to know what he's getting up to... He wants it to be perfect on release, doesn't want to it to hit a perfect time for the optimum amount of sales.

I respect the guy 'cos of it.

No such thing as perfect at release, especially when he's added shit what people simply didn't ask for :p

Dayz looks absolutely gorgeous on ARMA3 animations are all very smooth and the inventory is based on ARMA3 too which is pretty good. A new patch is being released today fix some stability issues.

I can imagine, this is what I'm saying if it turns out to be better/more fun than standalone dean will have fucked himself royally for A) not releasing Standalone sooner B) Dicking around telling people this and that this and that and C) Taking feedback from knuckle draggers on reddit rather than listening to other sources, for some reason they seem to fucking bum reddit and I really cannot fathom why.

New patch came out today for ARMA 3 Dayz, game is a lot more stable now, they have even added a jump option that you can use when running, you can't bunny hop or jump on the spot so implemented nicely.

Stole my first vehicle i found in the woods just now :)

About 6 months for a title like this. Tops. Or someone f*cked up.

Arma 3 is a fantastic game on it's own though, tbh :p

Thing is, I think Boheima over estimated the sales they'd get from Arma 3 cos of DayZ, and it'll probably hurt them.

I guess because ARMA 3 has a editor it could still be possible to cheat a lot of servers these days use other anti hack programs along side battleeye, usually before you start playing on a server they scan you for scripts and a box comes up before your character loads in saying "no scripts found".

Doubt its 100% full proof though.

No, Arma 2. I've changed my mind tbh, you spawn with a G36 and all sorts, it's like deathmatch, not sure I like it.

that does sound wank like, defies the whole point behind DayZ if you start with that sort of gear.

Yeah, I liked it at first, I spawned and a car drove past, so I waited, they got out the car and I killed them both with me G36, then got in the car and drove off, but then there was another car, and so on. However, it is popular, 80 man server always full...

Yes yes the servers with 800 vehicles are totally pointless ugh a lot of people play them though which IMO speaks about the mentality of them.

Vanilla Dayz was the way it is always meant to be played ie start with nothing and vehicles are hard to come by unless you go looking.

Yea, i wouldn't mind servers with lots of vehicles if the maps were made properly, having maps where its guaranteed the survivors will spawn at the coast tho just prompts the bro-twats to patrol up and down the road in vehicle convoys :p maps where you have random start locations are the best ones, you could start on the coast, in the woods behind a tree or in the supermarket - totally random.

Found a big Ural..earlier after about 30mins i found a clan at the NE airfield with a bus and 2 cars... hilarity followed soon after as i rammed their cars and bus setting them on fire, killed one of the clan the rest ran into the control tower and logged off.

Couple of screenies.

And fuck off to the first person that says "To survive ho ho ho ho ho!" :p

They probably never got griefed so much in their lives I was driving around that control tower for a good 20mins honking my horn as I smashed their cars and bus up. The explosion as 2 of them blew up was fucking sweeeeet.

When people start acting as sensibly(and/or the game allows people to act the way) as people would in a real zombieb survival situation, i'll start using the "simulator" like it :p
