I've stopped playing DayZ a while ago because of its performance issues and optimization. But I've looked at and read all the patch notes that came out. They would normally come out every month but recently there are delays. Especially with 0.56, it's been almost two months with no patch on stable, what is going on with the project? Have devs decided that it's no longer profitable to release the game since it's already sold out? Can someone enlighten me please? Thanks!

Well, I am glad the game is moving forwards. I just want to enjoy DayZ at 60 fps stable and no desync, rest is optional to me. Well after the initial alhpa release, DayZ sold tons of copies. I don't know the exact figures and whether I am correct on this or not, but I figured those who wanted the game would have purchased it back then and there is maybe 20-50% of gamers to capture with full release - please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks! I hope that's the case and I'll have a good read. All I am waiting for to jump back in are major performance and network updates.

Hey I stopped playing dayz a while ago after 120hrs because of the few players I would meet in the game. I know there were server tests before but does anybody actually know when player count will increase? to at least 60+? Thanks

Hello, is there any information out there about increasing player cap? I know devs tested different options and was wondering whether we are going to get them 60-80 man servers. Spawns are so spread out you rarely see any other survivors.. and tbh that is the only thing that would make me play the alpha over Arma 3 Breaking Point. Thanks and sorry if doubled any posts or asking obvious questions, I searched through the forum and nothing.

Nice!

Not sure if trolling or just stupid.

tbh the only advantage that the mod (breaking point) has over DayZ SA is smaller map and higher probability of encountering players outside of hotspots. That is something I really appreciate as I was forced to quit DayZ SA because it felt very empty and I dont enjoy electro madness as much..

I dont agree. In the mod you have TONS of weapons laying around, it takes 2 minutes after spawn to have a firearm of some sort.. it is stupid and ridiculous. In DayZ it is more unforgiving when you die because it is harder to get your equipment - better DayZ experience, less CoD/BF

I dont get it bro, you are saying that you play at night and Europe is ahead of America by like 6-8h depending on what coast you are on.

The game is unplayable, lag and all that kills it.

I am rolling with a friend, after couple of hours looting and adventuring we got to Kamyshovo in search of any bandits. Spotted one guy, held him up.. turned out to be harmless adventurer like us. Said "bye, bye" got out of the warehouse and all of a sudden I hear multiple punches "unconscious", friend behind me shouted it was a fresh spawn, all of a sudden he disappears and and he's unconscious as well (in an instant) - obvious cheater. Tried respawning.. well after 20 +/- respawns and 30 mins of killing myself I finally spawned into Kamyshovo, I can see the body but can't loot it.. loads of things on the floor but everything is ruined. Server was nearly empty as well.. For a moment I was like F this game.. Felt like sharing with the community that there are a lot of scrubs out there cheating.

Your responses reminds me of Battlelog and Battlefield community. What a shame..

Because I thought I could get my stuff back hopefully? Spawns are another thing.. I spawned about 20 times near Fing Berezino.

Falcon punch maybe?

OP is mad because he is bad.

After a while of playing as a civilia, I decided to go back to old school military play. I switched to HC and fully kitted up I was overwatching balota to spot hold up opportiunity. After 1h of waiting I decided to log, I was getting some hudge dsync at the time and decided to just run down the hill through the field get inside and call it a day. As I was cominng down my dsync eased and all of a sudden i hear "hello mate" coming from behind. I looked back and saw two armed guys.. I replied hello and turned around. Are you friendly? "Yea" both replied, one of them was a teen. They asked me to put my weapon down and so i did. I asked them if they need anything and they started speaking German and the youngster fired killing me in one shot. I was mad at myself that i didnt just run now that i think about it.. but i must say dsync didnt help as i clearly couldnt see them and they did see me - i ran past them basically. Damn shame

It's not really a player interaction but the first time I logged into DayZ I ran inland and died of starvation because there was literally nothing to be found.

Hello, Just wanted to salute and congratulate everyone that challenge themselves in the game and don't just kill on sight like weak masses do. You guys got on another level and that's huge. Trying to hold up and surrender armed players (especially in groups) is a very challenging task and those that are successful are the good ones. What do you do when you surrender a somebody? I ask them 3 questions. If they answer all correctly they get to live and let them go (without ammunition). For every incorrect answer they take one bullet to the knee. Some of my questions: What is 2 + 2 x 2 What is the second largest country in terms of territory. What is heavier, one kilo of stone or one kilo of iron. I ask them to explain why astronauts "float" in space. Out of maybe 10 hold up situations, one answered all correctly. What's your way?

How can easy mode be satisfying? Imo killing on sight is for weak. Is way too easy to just camped it out and spray people down. Real challenge is to get close and make the guy surrender and if he doesn't well, let the game begin.

Close threat pl0x

I tell you what mate. In my personal opinion your idea is the dumbest thing to be ever implement. This is not Battlefield 4, World of Warcraft or any other casual-friendly experience. This is a RAW and true game concept from 90's, where developers never cared about satisfying masses but creating a game that they really wanted to create. DayZ is meant to be a survival zombie apocalypse game and along with Dark Souls is the ONLY game that provides real "challenge" and "real gameplay" without any wheel carts for lazy gamers. This game is meant to be harsh and unforgiving, sure it can get you frustrated. I'd advise you to part with that old DayZ saying "If you got killed upon being seen, ensure you're not seen". And that's all there is to it. If you want to help people, the game does allows you to help. Are you encouraged by the game? No but there's nothing wrong with it.

^keyboard warrior It was a typo - happens.

(Payback?)

About the "paided" typo, I changed the title of the topic several times and didnt notice my mistake - still getting used to typing on a small tablet. Sorry to all that got butt hurt. About 'cemping like a fagit' even though I wrote that I was waiting there for 1h, I was actually down on the airfield 60% of the time stalking but missed my opportiunity as people either ran off or I lost them. Again typing from a tablet compounded by my lazy nature (...), my bad. Oh and I didnt log out at my post because people usually camp at this place and I rather not spawn next to them.
