they are neither. they are ghosts. scratching, leaping, ghosts.

"companion pets" "animal husbandry" "farming and harvesting" "medical system" "weapon degradation and repair" "item degradation and repair" "driving and piloting" and now "gunsmithing" the mmo crafting experience tiers are almost here...

stopped there

agree. and to answer OP: after 250 hours of the SA alpha: NOT WORTH BUYING/WASTE OF 30$

ooh, another thing to make chernarus's (insert personal favorite RP/Survival/Terrain feature here) sooooo much better! flashing up dayz to go for a hike, spot some wildlife and have a picnic at green mountain. jesus wept. he wept because zombies are broken and nobody gives any fucks for them.

no shit eh?

dayz mod is still technically in alpha. it is more fun, competitive and stable than the SA. the SA runs on the same engine, using the same code, with the same textures and the same objects and the same items as the mod. no leap forward. dayz SA being shitty is subjective opinion, which mine is. dayz SA being underwhelming is pretty damn near consensus. this alpha was released too early to be considered a playable game. it hasn't reached playable status, no matter how you internally rationalize it out of fear for the future of the game or defensiveness for being told you wasted your money, just my 2 centz

i think the beta will be delayed. it is taking a week to figure out how to make the in-game clock go faster. don't get your hopes up kids!

ummmmmmmmmmmmmm nah i think they'll cop out and stick with the system they have now which isn't good/is a COD ripoff for TEH SCRUBS who bought into the hype

the next few patches: GUNS GUNS GUNS MAYBE A BOW GUNS CROSSBOW MAYBE GUNS GUNS GUNS SOME MORE GUNS AMMO TYPES FOR ALL THE GUNS GUNS oh and maybe cooking lol jk JUST MORE GUNS

waking up in a house that's trashed, wearing worn civilian clothing... very cool and RP/lore friendly we dont know how we ended up in cherno but we should either be shipwrecked survivors or chernarus natives. or both.

too complicated bro the devs will never go for that shit i like the idea tho

sawed off shotgun: super inaccurate unless 10m or closer. recoil affects your aim massively, both barrels fired at once causes me to shoot above the target 99% of the time. the cone spread of the pellets has to be broken in some way, either such a random spread or the pellets don't register individually. the shotgun doesn't "ricochet" at all. only two shots with massive recoil and you have to reload with a speedloader that is slower than all other rifles. verdict: useless trash weapon, avoid at all costs, unless fixed by devs will always be trash i'm waiting for a pump action shotgun so i never have to witness a double barrel again

the attachment system is fundamentally flawed. i'd rather have ultra-rare variants with permanent attachment slots. ie: your m4a1 has either an RDS attachment slot, or an ACOG slot. not both. m4's with all magpul or all cqb or all stock no switching around not "realistic" but more balanced in terms of gameplay. "realistic" would be super customization on an individual level

overall, shitty and slow and underwhelming not quite the "great leap forward" that i thought the SA would be. we have the mod on steroids and getting organ transplants and facelift nothing's really improved from 3 years ago just being real peace and love peace and love
