do you seriously believe that this game is in a better state than titan fall ?

more content the better , bring it on only faster :)

right what do we have ???? Zombies - ( no better than the mod , about as threatening as a lamp post , except now in the experimental where the speed up slow down method seems to have been introduced again ) Loot - ( No viable solution to the loot re-spawing , servers restarting every 2 hours ) this is a shambolic situation and all other development should be halted until this is implemented. even the cleaners should be working on loot. Vehicles ( not even a bicycle to get about on, its a big ass map. ) Combat mechanics. ( aiming a gun on Dayz feels like its attached to a barge poll , spasticated movements no real accuracy ) Player numbers , stuck on 40 , how is this not worrying that the servers cant run with more than 40 even with zero content. Adding new clothes . its like the developers are stalling or taking the piss , Here have 3 different colored duffel coats but sorry the basic mechanics of the game are no where near fix. Engine . this is the arma 2 engine , it looks like Arma 2 plays like arma 2 has all the arma 2 bugs etc etc , its the arma 2 engine. Experimental servers ?? why like the OP stated are they not trying all sorts of things , FIX THE GOD DAMN LOOT OR AT LEAST GIVE US A GLIMPSE ON THE EXPERIMENTAL OF YOUR PROGRESS . I loved the mod had 6 servers running at one point over 20 active clan members , nearly shat myself when the standalone came out , but its almost MAY now 5 months and lets be honest what updates have we seen. I think this game is in major trouble and its heartbreaking as it could have been sooooooooo good. the single biggest disappointment for me was in the dev blogs dean harped on about how the Zombie Ai would be dramatically reduced and this would give a big performance boost , but low and behold the game has hardly any content and it plays like shite. absolutely shocking FPS , STILL , exactly the same as the mod and every other Arma game

people are angry because the game is moving at a snails pace. they've probably made near 30 million of this game. if you suppress our opinions you are committing more than slander you are promoting a false representation of the game.

Yeah the mods are chronic on here , closing anything that doesn't praise the game.

No sorry the engine is god awful full stop. You need tony starkes Jarvis computer to run the game on high. Coop maybe and that's all they focus on . Ive never understood Bohemia they seem hell bent on appealing to a niche select few and not realizing a games full potential. Arma 4 will be the same to , CPU bottle necking GPU performance , poor graphical optimization etc etc. Arma 4 fix , max GPU render ahead 0 bla bla bla , you have to make the game loo like shit just to be able to aim right. its a disgrace.

I have a r9 290x overclocked 16g ram , 17 @ 4.5 and i get 30FPS on Arma 3 , that's not talented. they need an engine overhaul , its embarrassing. they still haven't addressed the CPU issue from Arma 2

FANTASTIC POST , unfortunately there are still many drinking the Dean Hall koolaid and cant see the wood for the trees. I feel ripped off by Dean hall , this isn't a new engine its a shoddy remake that is still 2 years off having the functionality of the mod. But we will both be called worse than shit for our comments , your not allowed to criticize the game. Dayz Had its day. Dean promised more than this , he didn't deliver and yes the engine is garbage and will be the death of the game.

the spawns are being removed to slow the pace of the game down because there is literally nothing to do after you get a decent weapon.

im taking the piss , its the response i get to any post i make so i thought i would join the club

you do realize this game is an alpha , its an alpha this game did i mention its an alpha , this game is in fact an alpha.

Seriously........ Did anyone expect the game to be in this state 3 months after its release? I want to love this game so much but I feel its slipping away day by day as no real update of any significance are applied. And so it remains, Zero loot re-spawning, no method of storing items other than on ones person, limited zombies etc etc I just don’t understand why we were told that the loot would be handled differently but they clearly didn’t have a clue how to achieve this. Were were told that the standalone would be hacker proof …..WHY ????? The FPS are god awful now with not even 10% of the game content Vehicles end of Q4 ? really……. Why can’t they give us a mountain bike or something? I know 99% of you will respond saying ITS AN ALPHA BLA BLA BLA , but come on WE ALL EXPECTED MORE THAN THIS. The Basic core elements of the mod are not even realised at this stage and Dean leaves in 9 months.

The weapon play for me feels like my gun is attached to the end of a very long stick. Its fucking chronic but it does add to the suspense of the game because everyone is a shit aim lol

Anyone else completely bored with the standalone? YES I know it’s an alpha for the millionth time!!!!!!!! I’m looking for a sensible conversation around why the game is not boring at this point. What do you do to keep the spice in your relationship with the standalone? I for one am bored shitless and think unless a major patch by April fixes the loot many will stop playing. Why can’t Dean release an updated progress report on the state of the Loot? It’s a massive part of the game which is fucked.

I just had such high expectations for the game. I think I need to take a break from the for a while. I just have a few questions and again these aren’t insults there just questions. The standalone was made because the standard arma engine didn’t have the ability to realise Dean’s ambitions for the game so….. Why is the standalone more tasking on ones PC ? and this is with zero loot re-spawns and minimal zombies etc Why cant the updated engine / code manage loot re-spawns , isn’t that a step backwards. Why can’t the current system manage zombies? Why can’t the system manage animals? The whole thing bar player animations / graphics seems like a step back 2 years I just don’t get it. I just worry that im getting 30FPS yes on high I could turn it down but thats 30 FPS with very little in the game. How is dean going to get it to run with loot , vehicles , zombies etc etc. I think he’s dropped a bollock TBH. These are valid questions and need more attention that it’s just an alpha.

140 FPS urm Yeah. at what settings ultra low space invaders.

I think it’s embarrassing at this stage the loot isn’t sorted out. 2+ years and no concept of how to get the loot to respwan. Fix server hopping which was a player’s only real method of making the game anything other than a bore fest before fixing loot. Combat logging YES massive issue. Server hopping a result of the most fundamental aspect of the game still not being resolved. How can you have a survival game when there is no loot lol. Now I join a server and spend 3+ hours running about for nothing. How about instead of putting pretty coloured hard hats into the game you fix the loot. If the loot isn’t fixed by April the game is lost. Rust is already taking Dayz players by the shed load and that will continue as people become bored to death.

Crafting is a necessity for the longevity of Dayz. And I would like to see a monetary system like Tackistan life adopted. People would still trade and work to restore some normality as they naturally formed relationships and trust was established. The map is big enough to accommodate this as well as keeping the traditional PVP aspects of the game. However seen as there is no facility to even respawn loot and no clear indicator as to when this will happen crafting / economy seem like a lifetime away and I don’t believe at the current rate of progression people will still be playing this game in a years time. Our clan lasted 3 weeks. It’s nearly March.
