This is stupid reasoning. How do you get to make the claim nobody cares? Obviously we care or we wouldn't post about stuff. What your post actually is saying is "I don't have a good argument so rather than offer anything substantive, I'll just resort to name calling"

If that's all the updates then I don't see how anyone is defending this as acceptable LOL. However, every group has it's Trump supporters (or Hillary supporters), diehards who always support the system but nothing new, in over a year, are you frikkin kidding me?? I already posted 3 games made by 1 person, not the same person, which will show just how awful DayZ progess has been. I've been massively patient with the game but the thing is I handed my money over already. I already paid for my game along with millions of others. Where did our money go? Where are the updates? Where's the progress? If we ignore the lone developers and look at the tiny teams that are making games (7 days to die, Kerbal space program, the forest, etc, etc, etc) then these guys just embarass BIS. 7 Days to Die went through an engine update - they've added in NPCs, there's tons of zombies, you can grow food, you can PVP, you can have a PG generated map, you can mine, make weapons, clothes, and more. What's DayZ's excuse? Remember when they said "We're bringing in TWO TEAMS! One to make the animal AI and one to make the Zombie AI!" Where did they go? Going on to the zombies - how easy are they to get around!? First you can seemingly just walk by them without being seen. When you are, you just circle strafe, just like the mod, easy peasy mode and head shot them with an axe. There is nothing hardcore about this game and anyone claiming that needs to show evidence of such claims. Meanwhile, I guess I'll wait another 8 MONTHS to get an update LOL

This is the best post so far in this thread :) You're right in a lot of ways - nobody is going to come back, there won't be a resurgence, that ship sailed years ago now. I'd argue that as a "Hardcore Survival Simulator" DayZ isn't even close. Has any development been made on the "survival" aspect? Have new diseases been introduced? Is there a complex medical system? I ask this because I got back in the game the other day and drank from one of the 1000 water pumps spread across the map, ate a bunch of apples, killed some chickens with ease - ate a few cans of stuff - if this is "survival" then I'll invite you all to go spend a weekend in the wilderness somewhere with nothing but a wrag and a flare and see how you get on. This game is easy mode. In fact it's so easy to "survive" I'm wondering where the "hardcore" element is? Don't get me wrong, it's a lot of fun but I can't say it's hardcore since there's food and water everywhere. As for a console version, that might make a console community but PC players won't be coming back because of console players so presumably the PC version is pretty much dead which would explain the incredibly slow dev process.

Rogue System Banished Evochron Legacy...

I'm not sure how moving things along faster means anything other than quit taking so long. This excuse for the slow pace was fine 2 years ago, now it's becoming a joke. I can point to a host of games made by ONE developer to show just how slow things are advancing. Keep throwing out the old "they need to take their time" - no, what they need to do is take some of the millions they made and invest it into the game. The fact that I have to wait 8 months for another update is ridiculous. Like I said, the release date is set for 2030 is it? By that time gaming will have moved on and DayZ will have no players.

They were a year and a half late on the new graphics engine. It seems not much has changed since then either. Given the fact that BIS made a huge ton of money from the MOD and then again from the SA, what's taking so long? How about moving things along a little faster?

Aah I see so I should just shut up then and go away? That's your answer? Just shut up and uninstall the game who cares if you have to wait another decade? With attitudes like yours, yes, there's nothing that we can do to change it.

Judging by the 3 people posting on the forums here, I'd reason that other people find it unnacceptable too.,

1) Obviously you don't understand sarcasm. 2) Where did I say I didn't like the game? The development time is atrocious! 3) I gave 2 examples of unfinshed buggy games. 1 of those examples is selling as a release version. I hold BIS to a higher standard because they're a better dev company. You seem to accept any old rubbish thrown at you. If you can't recognise these things why are you posting here? I'm not sure how you can't see the issues but I have to wait 7 months before I'm going to see improvments? That's unreasonable.

Patch .063? So the release date is set for 2030? Bit disappointed with Bis tbh as they raked in a ton of cash over the mod, so much so they increased the price of Arma 2 and this is how they repay the community and their fanbase by this ridiculous pace of progression? By the end of the year I may have uninstalled the game. I would never recommend anyone to buy it now. I was going to buy Take On Mars but it's the same story there. Unfinished rubbish. BIS are seriously going downhill :(

I'm not really sure who decided on the colour of the tents but it is an established facts that as the only place to store items indefinitely, we obviously require the ability to hide our stashes. Given the state of the graphics engine and knowing how anything sticks out like a sore thumb passed 100 yards, having a better colour tent is paramount in trying to hide our gear. They need to be re-skinned and made green and brown.

Can you honestly tell me if the medical/survival system has been improved upon since a year ago? The same for hunting (remember they brought in a dedicated team for that as well as...) Zombies, what's going on with them after a year?

I understand your point completely however it's wrong. You can do anything you like in COD with your argument which is why it's a bad argument.

So the renderer is now a year over it's expected release date. Well done BIS! Well done!!! Now you're taking the piss.

I've got so bored waiting I've almost forgotten I have it installed. I haven't played in months and if after all this time the devs don't deliver something fucking amazing, DayZ SA will go down in History as the biggest disappointment ever and an embarrassment to the original.

No you are being too literal when you say "you can do anything you want". It's a demonstrable FACT that you can't do anything you want and the fact that you think I want to go surfing just shows you have no clue what "making a point" is. You can do whatever you want in any game according to you as long as it's in the limitations of the game. That's called an oxymoron.

LOL no, no it doesn't. Go build a surfboard then. I won't wait for you btw.

(Christ this new forum is SHIT!!) Anyway, I thought the OP was demanding the graphics get fixed lol - now I can't sarcastically reply "Yep, OK, we'll get right on that for you!" Other than that, great to see some fresh YT content going up about the game :)

The game does not allow you to play however you want - what does that even mean anyway? Go surfboarding then. The game is about survival and surviving the apocalypse which includes shooting people at times and having stats showing of survival numbers should be the first things to be shown.

Errrr no it's a survival game - therefore, quite unsurprisingly, the focus is about surviving. (ffs please wait 58 seconds before posting? I hate them even more now. lol) pps - it lied too - I waited 15 seconds and it let me post. So not only is the new forum shite but it lies too ;)

Given that the game is about survival (and btw I just have to say this new forum is SHIT!), the score boards should reflect the goals of the game and not kill stats. Why aren't you interested in seeing how many footsteps you've taken - why is there a need to see how many people you've killed. isn't that a rather weird statistic to want to see? Especially when there are far more interesting statistics that top kill stats (which are meaningless). How about Time Lived Distance traveled on foot/vehicle Animals hunted how many times wounded how many times you healed another player how many crops you successfully grew how many camp fires you made What is it about how many players you killed is more important than anything I just listed?

I know I've been away for a while but if my memory serves me correctly, I seem to recall DayZ being a game about SURVIVAL. The OP is entirely correct - can we start seeing stats that support the gameplay and not the usual shit for dickheads which is kill stats? Oh and bring the beans back, this heart shit is not DayZ!

You can't do anything about map hackers though I did used to place tents in ponds lol. After that I'd check every pond I went by and then a month or two later everyone was hiding them there as well. If you have a real hoarder group, finding their stash can be fun if you only take a few things they have lots of. They can't keep track of it all, especially if they're a group so one AK47 missing and someone must have took it or they miscounted or whatever. Do this and they won't know they've been compromised :)

LOL whoa there cowboy. Before you make everyone think we had camouflage tents, you should also remember how they were bright puke green with brown poo slung over it and practically glowed LOL ;)

Are you kidding??!!! They can't wait for my posts. Every single one of them has the entire Dev team either on the edge of their seats or in stitches as I entertain them with hilarity. They keep emailing me for my autograph which to be quite frank with you, is getting annoying now. On a serious note, they have a suggestions area for a reason. To think that some ideas haven't been incorporated or some things tweaked or changed a little is probably erroneous.
