Ive played DayZ since the early days of the mod, June of 2012. Im a huge fan and the game continues to be one of my all time favorites, if not THE favorite game. Ive played every version of it, from the broken release version of the SA, to .62 and the engine swap, etc. Ive played on experimental branch and provided feedback to the devs along the years. Ive been on the forums since 2012, providing feedback and taking part in discussion. Im happy that the game is getting more official content, but nobody should buy Frostline for 27e. Why? Bc its greatly overpriced. For example, I bought Arma 3 Apex for 19e and it didnt just have Tanoa, the map Sakhal is based on, but a co-op campaign, new weapons and vehicles, new MP modes, new separate standalone SP mode with replay value, other assets etc. A ton of stuff, much more than here. Most of the stuff in this map is already on my SDD. Recycled map, assets, etc. What is on offer here, cant simply be justified to cost 27e, even in todays market. If DayZ wasnt released for consoles, a 27e recycled map would be a thing of ridicule. But it is, so now the content starved console players are ofc defending it. Some PC players too, but Id guess mostly those who dont remember the broken promises of EA, the rushed release, Livonias addition to an unfinished game, what they did to it in the end, etc. Or maybe they just have low standards. Its common to see arguments like "but this other game has skins for 20e, so Frostline isnt so bad!!1". These kind of arguments are what BI want, so they can soon also increase the monetization. See what they did with Arma 3, after A2. To the console players: I know you guys are starved for content. Youve had to play on two summer maps for years, it sucks. But remember that its BI, their greedy decisions to reduce the dev team to a skeleton crew and to not allocate more resources for the dev't of DayZ, that has made you so starved! You want to praise and reward the hand now, that starved you? The 1.0 release of the game was rushed against promises, bc of the console market - Microsoft didnt allow a prolonged EA phase on their store, which is sth BI knew when going for the console money. There were even silly promises of how the console dev't wouldnt affect the PC dev't. The dev team was reduced to a skeleton crew. We are still missing legacy features. All of this is due to BIs greed. Some of you are willing to give them a pass, bc some other studios are even worse, with even greedier practices. Im not: if we wont uphold standards, they are gone. You shouldnt be either, if you care for the future of this franchise and the industry. Buying this for 27e is you telling them that a map for the og price of the game is OK. If you give this price a OK, it will keep getting worse from here and youre part of the problem. If you allow every studio to go down the same drain, they will all end up in the same ditch.

Youre the one being ignorant here, suggesting a mechanic that is easily, for free passed. You clearly dont understand even the most basic things about AC's! Valorant has Kernel level anticheat, which means that its more capable at spotting cheat programs than what DayZ has. Thats where its strength comes from! Ironic for you to call others ignorant and not knowing what a HWID spoofer is.. youre a joke!

Not true. HW-ID spoofers have been around since early 2000's.

If you look at the avg players online, this is not true. Why dont you just play Rust if thats more your thing? Base building is not even a vanilla DayZ feature, so dont expect it to be the focus for dev't.

No there is not. Modding is PC exclusive.

Why would there be C4 in Chernarus?

This is not the case tho. Its indicating the direction, as for example WOBO has shown in his video. This means that in situations where the player doesnt know the direction, he will gain this information on a silver platter. Its total and utter BS. I agree with you. Its ridiculously tone deaf from BI to even think of this. They are clearly looking for a more casual audience, probably mostly on consoles. Im gonna refund the game if this happens, its not a HC survival game anymore if this sort of feature is added.

Hello! Ive been taking a long break from DayZ. I personally think that BIs decision to launch DayZ in such a incomplete state was a middle finger to us vets. Anyways, I dont want to play a shell of DayZ, I want to have the vanilla features back. For example, are bones already in the game or does anyone know when? Im asking here as I havent been paying attention lately and I know theres people here who can answer this honestly.

As its a mod, there are combinations of different mods. Some ARMA 3 DayZ servers have the ACE medical system for example, which is way more profound and complex than anything DayZ SA has ever seen. I havent played any ARMA 3 DayZ mods for a long time though, so I dont know how the current ones work, but there were many pretty cool servers years a go so maybe thatll answer your question. Theres a lot more mods for ARMA 3 than there is for DayZ SA.

This is not Rust or some other fortress building/defending simulator. If you guys can have your wooden forts, the peeps who dont care for that kind of silly stuff can have their buried stashes. Why should you be able to find all the stuff other people have? Base building is not even a legacy DayZ feature. Its only there so that RP and clan players can have sth to do because they cant have choppers and theres no other "endgame". Its literally supposed to be a cool looking time-sink with some possibilities for modded servers and RP servers.

What made you think that some wooden walls and a padlock would keep your base secure? What made you think that it was supposed to be totally secure? OFC glitches need to go, but I dont think the bases were never intended to be raid-proof or even close to that.

You used to be able to, but as BI labeled so many things as "flavor features" this is not in DayZ anymore. It should make a return tho. I liked to leave notes for people to read and when they would read the poem I wrote, for example, I would snipe them in the head. It was good fun!

Its the true end-game of original DayZ. If you managed to fix and maintain a chopper, people knew you know what youre doing. I think you havent been there to see it, but it was not choppers zipping all over the map. There were maybe 2 per server. As there wasnt this base building included, but people only had tents, choppers were the easiest and fastest way of finding tents. For this reason and other more obvious reasons, choppers were very valuable and to get one or to shoot one down was truly special. Sure, some servers might have them zipping all over the map, but then again we have a crap ton of servers now that are super casual TDM arena servers, with loot everywhere and armor that can make you withstand crazy amounts of damage. The servers that you want to play on would have only 1 or 2 choppers. Trust me on this one, it didnt take away from the immersion or anything like that. Not to be a party pooper, but these items have been in the game for quite some time. The fact that they are there is not an indication that said features would be close to implementation. That sucks.. can you provide a source for this? I feel you man. Bows are not a "flavor feature" for me either. Its absolutely disrespectful for BI to make base building be an important feature with a big emphasis, but then vanilla features like bows, bones and choppers are forgotten. I will boycott BI from now on most probably. Theyve shown how they cant be trusted. Also, the ARMA 3 microtransactions are absolutely horrible and overpriced. The future for BI doesnt look good.

Are *legs* somehow different from legs? Is it simulated in a different way than it was before? Thats what I thought.. Im aware of the map and Ive played it in the mod too, I knew it was in the making but understood from what you said that its been taken as an official map. But yeah, looking forward to trying it. I saw a video of the chopper mod, it looks laughably bad, Im gonna give it a few more years. Hoping BI will implement them to vanilla, its pretty much another failed promise if not. I was not at home and didnt even have the game installed. Saw some reddit post about the game and thought Id just ask people here, as I know Id get proper answers, maybe even from like-minded people. So yeah, I knew how to get answers to these easy questions, even without the need to dig through 2 years of update logs and without installing the game. Thats exactly what I did. But hey, thanks for your input, it really made a difference!

Thanks for letting me know. Bones are the most important legacy feature that was missing when DayZ launched. Is Namalsk an official map? If DayZ SA doesnt have choppers in it, as a legacy feature, its not at the best state. Bones are 50% of what I wanted for the full experience and choppers are the missing 50%, but Ill give it a try based on what you said. I dont like mods. Most of the modded servers have way too DM like gameplay, theres way too much of everything everywhere and so on. HC vanilla is more to my liking. Thanks for your input!

Now this is what I call necroing! Boom, here we are, at a 5 year old thread! 😄

Im very disappointed. I was always hopeful and I actually still think that we might at least get some of the legacy features back, but for example choppers.. I dont think its ever gonna happen by BI. Bones and a more fleshed out medical system is of the utmost importance. Its ridiculous that the system was such a barebones version in 1.0 and even after, I guess bones were "flavor" as well, so the version was just "bare". But yeah, I think the real downfall was not with the engine problems and swap and not with all the dev't problems before and after, but with the release on consoles. Everybody knew that once 1.0 hits the dev't would slow down to a crawl, but the fact that BI went greedily to the console markets, whilst saying that "it wont affect the PC version dev't negatively" now they are saying how "we would like to dedicate more time for each update this year and thus will leave bigger gaps between the updates to make sure we have more time to prepare for all platforms". I know there are separate people working on the console versions as well, but things need to be clearly done in a certain way in order to get things working on consoles better. I think the shamefully barebones, "flavorless", incomplete 1.0 release is, in hindsight, proof of how that greedy decision made it worse for PC as well. Bohemia Interactive, I am very disappointed in you. I wanted to believe in this game but this new road map and redistributing of devs is just a nail on the coffin, DayZ wont even get all the legacy features back. Your company was thus added to the list of boycotted companies I have and I will recommend everyone I know to do the same. Boycott everything your produce or publish. You guys are one of companies that I regard as greedy liars now. Everybody who buys Livonia is also a part of the problem. We need to have the legacy features back before any more DLC.

Welcome to Early Access.

Yeah so the fact is, the things the player can do proves that we are not just some random individuals, we are people with a pretty good survival skill set. Probably military background. I dont know why you think were just random individuals when everything points in the exact other direction.

Ive been optimistic for a really long time now. The one month beta was a huge mistake as someone already pointed out. I think its time to change that steam review to negative now.

Hello DayZ forums! My name is Panu AKA p4nnus, Ive been playing DayZ since 2012, so a DayZ veteran here. DayZ is one of my all time favourites, if not my favourite game of all time. I only recently started to learn how to edit gameplay videos and this is my first DayZ video. I would greatly appreciate some feedback and criticism as I havent really got any yet for my videos! The video is mostly in Finnish, but theres english subtitles in YouTube. I felt that it was the right time to do a DayZ video after I read the most recent status report. This video is mainly for entertainment purposes, but it also showcases the current situation with the "newest" stress test build. DayZ is not gonna be launch ready in two months. Its not gonna be even ready for Beta IMO, but thats debatable. Release tho, no way. I hope someone at BI sees this video! I had so much fun testing, theres been so much improvement from the beginning of the SA, but I dont think that even the basic gameplay loop is gonna be in a polished state before 2019. There would be no shame in postponing the release for a few months more, I wouldnt care if you would postpone it for a full year tbh! The game needs to have the legacy features AND the at least somewhat (and greatly more than in the vid) polished core gameplay loop to be called a 1.0. It would be a huge mistake to release the game in an incomplete state. I still have a little trust and optimism left, I think the plan you have now could work, but you need to think about the PR and what promises youve made to the players. I hope you guys enjoy the video! :) DayZ 0.63 - Stressful testing

What about all the other legacy features you fellas dare to call "flavor"? As you can see most are pretty damn disappointed with this so we would like to know why wont you postpone the whole 1.0? Are we gonna at least get a roadmap that shows when the missing features are gonna be implemented?

Dont forget the growable weed! Ive waited for that feature for like 4 years.. what a bummer!

IMT put it to words so well that I dont have to do this in length. I am super disappointed. I would like to know the reasons for this, why wont you guys just postpone the release a little further? That would be way better than just releasing this empty world we have now. Theres been loads of progress, but as others have pointed out, were still way too far away from having all those features that makes DayZ what it is. Base building most definitely isnt for everyone, this isnt a legacy feature and I would take so many different survival features instead of that. I feel like youre stabbing the most loyal fans you have in the back and then twisting that knife a few rounds. Why? You guys seriously need to explain where this push comes from, so we can direct all this anger and sadness to whoever deserves it, if not you guys yourselves. We deserve explanations.
