Need me a Wild West themed dayz (with or without infected). And then some medieval mod (awesome). Someone make it please !

Honestly I don't see grinding being an issue in this game ; if people wanna spend their time doing that let them do so (as long as grinding up soft skills isn't too easy). I don't know if I like how they have made the new system though, what I want to see is people spending hours on fixing cars to finally become a reliable mechanic , one that's needed to fix a car in less than ten minutes (as opposed to someone without mechanic soft skills in which it could take hours to replace an engine or what not). This game needs soft skills , we need to make it work but we can't be too hung up on certain things like grinding abuse , this games end game isn't about being the best mechanic , it helps but it isn't the end game so my point is the grinding abuse (if there is much) won't hurt the game in such a drastic way that people think it might (IMO).

Great work over the 2k16 year devs ... now a pushy question : do you have a time frame of when we might see new animation system / player controller ? I can think of a dozen things that I want so bad that is tied in with that ....

I disagree , dayz devs have been putting in lots of cool add ins (most specifically aimed at survival) and I don't see why they couldn't have their art guys work on some new models of crafted items while they aren't doing anything , then the coders just have to slap it together before one of the big stable releases (like we normally find good stuff after a stable push that didn't exist in experimental ). I only say this because I don't want the devs to make a lackluster roster of craftable items and expect the modding scene to make it better , and also I say this because , like I said above, I know the devs are capable of adding such items in with ease .

I have to say .61 experimental has the best performance (server and client wise) of all past builds . Not only are the servers up almost all day which is a big thing for experimental, but the client gets great fps even on low end rigs . I know because my awesome computer broke two weeks and ago aand I've since then been playing on an I-3 intel onboard 5500 graphics laptop but yet I still get a solid 30-40 fps in cities-rural areas . if you haven't played dayz in a long time and are especially waiting for a little better and scarier survival experience : try .61 experimental , I believe it will impress you immersion wise (lots of scary moments with the wolves and dynamic zombie spawns , only issue is how slow zombies are and how they push you , also no vehicles right now but not for long).

Awesome status report , in regards to making more visual representation of humanity's struggle to fight against day zero I suggest implementing things like : quarantined zones with lots of trapped zombies somewhere infirmary camps settled just outside of cities in fields or in woods (obviously abandoned and wrecked) gymnasiums of the school buildings could have cottages and sleeping bags along with loot spots to represent an emergency community shelter (could also have zombies spawn in here to represent people turning in the shelter instead of all zombies being outside). also please please please consider adding a pier with carnival rides on the coast , maybe even add a ferris wheel :)

The devs showed off one of the builds loaded into a namalsk map (instead of chernarus) about a year ago to show how easy it could be done for modding ... hopefully someone can find the status report it was in , there was snow and sniper towers everywhere it was awesome . Can't wait to check out new maps with the modding scene . edit : I think it was around one of the .55 status reports. This link shows a picture that was taken from the status report (scroll down the page a quarter to see a lone picture) http://www.dayztv.com/video/dayz-status-report-highlight-03-march-2015/

Lol youre just not happy with anything ... First of all you should probably research a bit before posting becuase you look uninformed. Secondly , wolves howl for various reasons although hunting isn't really one of them , it would be silly to include the wolf without the howl - it just makes for better gameplay. Lastly , this is not even the first iteration of the wolves to a public setting , it's simply a dev test in that video with the church , so I'm sure the sync of the wolves and the glitchyness will be improved as they get released to public branches and get worked on .

Got room for two players into your clan? Me and my cousin are active dayz sa players looking for a group to have fun with. We are Na and in the EST time zone, with mics and teamspeak.

No one has to accept your frustrated opinions as fact . Real fact of the matter is dayz isn't even released yet , and won't be for some time , when it IS fully released then maybe you can have a childish rant , like you did above to get a warning point . Constructive criticism is allowed but all you did was say "this game is crap , the project is shit , I know way better games than this with more players". No one in their right mind would allow you to spew shit like that on the forums without at least warning you that you're being disruptive and generally a dickhead . Ark is arcadey as fuck and only retains young kids for a little while until Chinese people Infest their server and destroy everything they worked so hard for in under a minute . Rust is the same way but seems to be trying to balance the game , and Unturned ? I can't believe you just mentioned that game , it is in NO WAY near the scope of dayZ and never will be , mainly due to the ridiculous mine craft graphics and joke like ambiance of the game . All these games will die out in popularity when people realize games aren't just about spending months to tame a dinosaur or build a base just to get it rocketed down the next night . The vision of those games are all wrong , dayz has one that will be fulfilled in time , and this will go further than any of these silly games that encourage 24/7 play to build a massive base which is the only point of those games . Give dayz time and take breaks , because it IS going slower , the devs even said it would during the "crunch time" right before beta . We're about to see dayz change drastically with many new systems , so although it will be incredibly frustrating and bug ridden , those who wait it out will be rewarded with a greater game than we have now (and im sure a lot of us have logged thousands of hours in , im at 1,690 myself , and it's an early access game ! ).

You haven't even played this game since the first few weeks of its release ? Get outta here you joke .

Make the animation 5 minutes long , max , and we will see if it even has an effect on breaking down camps . I guess if you found a military survivor camp it would matter , as it would take a while just to take down ten tents so it could be much more intense trying to break down all the tents in time (of course the animation could be cancelled).

Yea im not gonna hold my breath for this week , even if it does come out it's gonna be like this : broken vehicles (maybe non at all) maybe wolves (probably not) "dynamic zombie spawns" that is supposed to bring bigger numbers and better spread of zombies , which seems like the only thing that will actually be exciting for the next update . Maybe the new sound engine will be in , overall I just want to get done with .61 so we can go back to at least having vehicles work (big bummer that they are all fucked up for sooo many patches now).

Yes I also would like to know , devs is it weeks or more in your opinion .... Less maybe ? Thanks for the work and answer .

I'm not even gonna speculate how long Cuz at this point we are gonna go well over 3 years (just for alpha , not including beta). some things me and my team have been waiting for since day 1 that still need to be added : Predators barricading base building advanced vehicles dynamic zombie spawning shooting from cars (mentioned b4) electrical generators fridges w/ persistent storage LTL weapons (less than lethal) Wounded/limping animations dragging animation many more things that I can't even rememeber anymore . I just hope the pace is picked uP soon so to speak .

Well looks like im sitting out .61... I hate how the vehicles are suddenly broken again , it just makes a terrible play experience for me as that is my first goal as my team is always driving around instead of walking (not enough time to walk everywhere when we only have a few hours to play together ). heres to hoping they can fix the sync issues with vehicles for .61

Oh please Jebus , make the vehicles actually persist properly next update , these vehicle bugs really ruined .60 for me ! Haven't played in over a month ! Otherwise looks good , I hope they don't cut wolves from .61 seeing we are already incredibly far behind but oh well do what you gotta do .

Three ideas of mine that I think would be really simple to make into mods but could become so popular as to have their own stabdaloNe eventually. 1.) Dark Dayz - medieval themed dayz with or without zombies ( Id keep them but make them just a common enemy among many) . 2.) wild dayz - wild Wild West themed dayz with no zombies , just humans creating madness in the good old wild west of the frontier North America period . Imagine having to kill the sheriff (whomever had amassed that title in the specific town) to break out your buddies (also real people) of the local jail , then riding carriages across the dusty west with dayz graphics , im already sold . 3.) Dino dayz - dayz with no zombies , but dinosaurs . Set in chernarus as a jurassic park dinosaurs escaped a park theme or the typical make a foresty island map and make us the players as cavemen and women (awesome). someone please make one of "my mods" a reality. Preferably the Wild West one now that im thinking about it .

I agree there seems to be so much to do before beta is supposed to come out ... I'm guessing this three year development cycle is gonna be pushed to a 4 year cycle :/ . But I couldn't even remember how dayz mod looked until I watched that video, god it was so clunky and the fps was sooo choppy , good thing people made theatrical trailers in small coop missions to make it look badass , but bad thing is people remember it with rose colored glasses because of those silly trailers . My experiences with dayz mod over two years of playing it was soo much more plain than those ridiculous theatrical trailers haha , that's why I was ecstatic when I heard stabdaloNe was coming out (and was to do everything better than the mod) but of course perfection takes a looooong time :/ . when standalone is complete we won't even need to post edit it's videos to make it look appealing : it will have everything it needs to be a badass game and make a sweet trailer using everything in game online (as we all know most of the dayZ mod videos were edited with special add on mods that were played in small cooperative misson scenarios as opposed to online servers open to the public).

They were removed a while back due to the fact that you couldn't use them as melee weapons attached to a gun . I believe the devs stated they would be back with the completion of the new animation system / player controller .

Lol I always wonder that too eno, why da fuq do most ppl crave modding for this game if they are just going to make the same old pvp bullshit gameplay from arma 2 ? This games only repetitive when you make yourself do the same thing over and over again , adventures are always much more spontaneous and interesting in the SA then ever was in the mod .

Well those pictures might have been from dayz TV but the original image of the generator was shown off on a dev Twitter (I believe Peter Ns, or Eugens Twitter) so that was an official showcase . It would be nice to hear a game plan on all these features , as we have less than 5 months to reach the 3 year mark . I'm starting to doubt being able to see all this content before the 3 year mark (we haven't even hit predator animals yet , which was originally planned for last year !) so I'm hoping these things like generators won't be pushed off until after full release because we need some content before releAse.

I believe tbis is just a huge paragraph of regurgitated opinions, just put into a nicer package. My stance has been stated too many times about this discussion but I will say it once more In a simplified version : they DID make the engine for what they had in mind , which is why it's taking so long (they aren't just fixing the arma 2 engine ) . The next point is moot seeing how most balance is made during beta (hate to break that to most people , but it's true to typical Alpha game developments). Lastly , if you haven't noticed the dozens of new things added (not talking about items , but pure content / geography / mechanics being added that expand gameplay , immersion , fps , and so on) since dean halls departure , then you truly haven't been paying attention. Thanks for making such a civil post, regardless of how previous arguments of this exact nature were always started with negativity and ignorance, but I do wish someone like Tatanko could come in here and list off EVERYTHING that has been added / changed since deans departure , but I believe that would take dayz and wouldn't be worth it considering another thread just like this one will pop up when people are bored of .60 and want more .

Can't wait to see that dead body stuff mentioned , it's going to be so story Iike and intense !

Yayyyy finally an update on predator ETA .... Good work devs .
