Yes, vanilla dayz is still good and more than enough people still playing. I occasionaly play dayz origins which is similar to vanilla except new vehicles, dif map and has base building. It's fairly good and usualy a few high pop servers at a time.

If I'm held at gunpoint by more then 1 person I will let them rob me. I got robbed the other day and they told me to drop everything I had. They only took my sewing kit and gun and gave me back everything else and told me to walk in a certain direction. It's good at times if you don't resist because that will reduce the KoS mentality and keep banditry real and original. ;)

You're acting like the game was made in 2007 or something. Jesus. It was made last year. And DayZ is still alive and well, but just not vanilla dayz.

I agree, vehicles are way too easy, no strategy with them really, just get in a repaired vehicle, and off you go.. Maybe it would be possible to find automatic cars, though? :P

Hmm, I came to thinking, if zombies also used geometry, would they be equal fps droppers as players are ? A 50 player server is pretty performance demanding, but 3000 zombies or whatever the number is isn't really.

Yeah, the zombies are still able to walk through walls, but there pathfinding won't let them.

Breaking point did, but now overwatch. But overwatch owes breaking point a lot, overwatch is almost just a copy and paste of it. So I'm going to say Breaking point in honor of it's originality. B)

Oh my god that's yummy.

So, why do zombies walk through walls? Source from reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/1q8t9i/dayzdaily/ Rocket2guns: "The zombies aren't using the geometry to calculate their collisions, as this would be incredibly performance intensive. Instead they are using the "roadway" which are planes inside of buildings that say where someone can walk. Players use roadway + geometry, so this problem wasn't noticed. But basically, the roadways don't have sections removed for where there are walls. It's not a huge job, but we will need to go through and define the roadways properly to avoid these problems." What does Dean mean? Players use Roadway and geometry. Roadway means where you walk, and geometry, are basically verticle objects, walls? If the players didn't use geometry, we, like the zombies, could walk through walls. Dean is keeping the zombies at roadway only, for performance. So how to fix zombies walking through walls, if they're not using geometry? http://i.imgur.com/Jdjm7L0.png (Credit for Photodiode on Reddit) Once this is fixed, zombies should no longer use the roadway through geometry. Hopefully this was explained well. Keep up the good work Rocket and his team B) :beans:

Dean said Chainsaws in one of his posts somewhere. choo choo?

My bad. But being a dev is certainly new to him. And I think not knowing the map is the experience of dayz, like Max said. Getting lost, surviving etc. I guess we'll still know the basics though. (How to get to elektro, etc.)

Operation repo reference? Lol? Also, I think you need to put more bullets in him, he's definitely still alive.

Deans under a shitload of pressure. Respect his work, I want the standalone just as much as all of you, but remember he is an indie dev and in reality none of us 'deserve' the game. At all. B)

It's official, the only thing holding the release now is performance.

Cheers rocket B) Bad news or not, it's news.
