apparently it is just more hot fixing...sooo ya. At least thats what i got from the dev tracker

is that it? well guess theres no reason to play then.

ATLEAST ON EXPERIMENTAL Its been almost a month now since they said their next bunch of features will be hunting cooking and persistent objects. I am honestly starting to get the same feeling i had with planetside 2 and its development, with dayz. If you dont know what i mean well its simple they said last year spring a new map would be out for that game around summer last year then winter, i hadnt played that game in months and a buddy told me they still hadn't added it. Not saying i think dayz is going the same path, its just once they start missing deadlines i notice it just goes downhill from there, but of course we dont know their deadlines unlike planetside which gave a roadmap...that constantly got content shifted around and pushed back by months...so either way it doesnt sound like we will get a clear picture, so the best to do is wait, they have added other things into the game it just feels like the cooking hunting is behind schedule or atleast will be if not released this month.

This isn't what im used to seeing from this game, usually they do a patch then give a changelog, ive seen 3 patches in varied sizes all less than 200megs and still no word. I don't lurk the devtracker much, is there something on there?

Answered what I was asking Weird I just find it odd considering they just started this like this month I haven't seen these hotfixes in the previous months, or at least not so many. Also does anyone know why the experimental servers are down? I checked about 3 times on different days, and there is just never any up maybe like 1 or 2 empty European or Australian ones but thats it

...... wow read my post again Ill just point it out to make it quick. First off you linked me the stable patch...experimental had that stuff for weeks. Secondly, im asking about patches that came AFTER that patch. Third and finally, i clearly stated experimental....tell me what branch does it say in the very first line on your second link.

Everytime i check the exp servers i see nothing

The "new" update has honestly been out for a almost a month maybe more i forget, its a bit crazy how slow they are moving considering the success. I speak of the experimental of course where they have had this "new update" for that long. I give dayz another month, month half max, for it to start showing an increase in development speed or else im gana consider dayz a partial scam since they aren't using the money to expedite development and improve it even further and instead chalk it up to them soaking up the profit and keeping the quality mediocre compared to what they could be doing.

Its so cute how much effort they are putting into an utterly pointless activity, since: 1. There is no reason to bother doing this except in hopes of bandits trolling the event 2. Nothing will have changed since once they all log, or die there will be no evidence it ever mattered.

Guess what i do...i just Play...another...game GASP Honestly

about dev size and quality you should look at warframe and 7 days to die....granted 7 days is way too expensive for it stage but they are impressive considering their team size, dayz was too, both should have been 15 not 30. anyway ya a game the scale of dayz should have more people working on it...but then theres the fact bohemia simply used the IP of dayz to give it self much needed profit so its mo big surprise they are trying to spend as little as possible with a game that sells itself with all the fanboys gushing to the internet. Its good business when the corporation gets the most they can for as little as possible which leads to the consumer being shafted so to say dayz is a scam is not far fetched

...what, all i saw was a slow mo of a guy on a hill and a desync at the end, a real tper wouldnt be running i saw a legit tp vid and ya this just idk looked all normal

So i played zomboid and a couple other zombie games, and honestly zombies are only threatening/scary, if in one or two cases. 1. You can't outrun them or they can outrun you. 2. Huge numbers in small area, no possible way to kill them all. Will there be a stamina system, cause i don't remember them ever confirming this. If they want to make the zombies relevant they need to. I know they want to do hordes, but again, who cares if we can just run by them laughing.

ya its called vehicles.

2 new clothing items 4? guns and they added the meat...for animals So no actual animals, or hunting, or way to light a fire, or persistent containers, or well anything that would justify the huge file size....WTF? * I clarified the branch since we have a few ignoramuses coming in here bull shitting and one moron who even posted the entire changelog thinking he knew what he was saying, when in fact he doesn't even understand that changelog has been posted weeks ago and is EDITED with a FEW new stuff each patch. Now that you know this is for experimental lets have only the people who know what that is and play on it and understand how the change log is updated reply to this... ================================================================================================================================== Things I believe are the NEW 700 megs worth of data: Crafting: SKS paint recipeCrafting: Firefighter Axe paint recipeCrafting: B95 paint recipe Gear: added black and UN ballistic helmet variantsGear: Wool Coat red/black/brown/blue/green/grey/check variants added Gear: Rabbit leg, boar steak and chicken breasts addedGear: Flat Cap red/black/brown/blue/green/grey/check variants added Gear: Long wooden ash stick Spawns: Sporter 22, CR75, Amphibia S, 1911 and respective magazines and ammo (22LR and 9mm) added to spawnsSpawns: Wool Coats and Flat Caps added to spawns A couple fixes most notable Network: Dropped items appeared only after a delay (now instant)Network: Inventory items causing desync due to non-guaranteed update spam (hotfix currently until guaranteed message change is complete)Network: Optimizations to network messaging updates should result in reduced bandwidth and some increases in FPS for clients/serverSound: subsonic projectiles no longer emit supersonic crack Now that may SEEM like a lot but all that really was added was 2 new clothing items, and i guess 4 new guns...which honestly i could give a fuck about since they said they were supposedly working on SURVIVAL aspects not improving the CoD catalog. The network fixes COULD justify the patch i suppose...next to the 6 new items and varients, but IDK, hopefully next week is the hunting/cooking, and i hope to god they allow us to cook with matches and firewood, cause finding gas stove, gas, and pot is the most ridiculous chore.

Even so this game could easily turn out like planetside 2, which they just FUBAR'd hard even though they made a roadmap every "major update" broke the game even more and they never even got to adding new content, I just don't want dayz to be similar in certain regards. Like zombies going through buildings, and other such game breakers that may exist in future features.

HA

Your not thinking of the possibilities. Having food and compass out, having 2 one handed melee objects, gun plus flashlight. flash light+ melee weapon..... the need to have both hand for some things and the ability to multi task with others, it would be very nice.

Cowardice and fear, you play with no challenge.

ya this is a thing i dont understand...tons of valve games have "betas" for games chivalry dota2 TF2 etc. Why dayz and hell ALL alpha games who wish to have don't have "betas" I don't get. But honestly I don't get why we need the separation FFS, we are playing ALPHA games, why do we need a beta for the alpha....it just...

sorry no no, that is just but one part, the best is this

The magazine looks like a half eaten donut...so i give it a 4/10 because it made me chuckle

Thats like saying crying or yelling doesn't help let it out, bottling up is not healthy either buddy. I think its being vented in a fairly non rage way, except the response to the people defending what they don't understand, like the guy posting the changelog like LOOK MORON, when i just sit there face palming like oh yes ive looked, looked at it weeks ago before you even knew what it was. But aside from that, its just dissapointing, and as a person who rarely buys games when i put faith in a product and not see it be all as expected and maybe even starting to flop, expression of concern should be paramount.

Steam does no refunds.

Maybe, but they really should become better at conveying info, honestly the way they update the "new" stuff by lumping it in with the already updated, its kind of annoying, its like "oh lets go pick out the ACTUAL new stuff" the least they could do is divide it into NEW NEW and over all, as well as explain the framework prep as: *NEW* Added framework for new cooking system *NEW* Added framework for new hunting system (This means we prepped it and next update the new systems will be implemented in full) Would that honestly be so hard...cause I know people that work in documentation and im just saying they could be better at conveying info to people waiting for it. Im not saying they are half assing it, im just saying they could convey more considering updates like these where not much was actually added but the patch size was almost a gig...
