GhostDivision (DayZ)

Nov 2013 - almost a year and there's very little in the way of change. If someone uploaded this video today you'd probably think it was brand new.

I think comparing Dayz devs to AAA developers is a bit of a stretch as they've proven to be anything but "AAA". Look at the game "Insurgency". Made by the indie company "New World Interactive" - aka couple of guys making it in their spare time - the game has advanced LEAPS since its early release. It's basically a whole different, polished and functioning game. Stop making it out as if DayZ is using some brand-new shining engine... It's based on the same old crappy (sorry but true) unreliable RV engine that has always been plagued with problems. Yes the engine is now heavily modified, but, it is not a brand new thing.

Money does actually change quite a few things. For one, more staff can be hired. Also, don't forget how much of a psychological effect this relatively large success should have on the developers - should be motivating as hell!

People expect more because of the additional funds that have become available you know, Not entirely unreasonable

The huge success of a relatively unheard of game raises expectations though.

1. Performance up to par with modern games 2. Server stability resolved 3. Zombies 4. Vehicles 5. Bugs fixed 6. New studio

DayZ has been riding a huge hype wave that's pretty much dead now. If you look back at some posts even two months ago, you'd see glimpse of enthusiasm and hope from players. Now a lot of them have realized the game will never reach what we were all hoping for it to be. I'm disappointed but what can you do, the hype was always too great.

Likewise, you're pretty brainwashed.

Steady progress it may be, with the ETA being somewhere mid 2020. Nobody is expecting a finished product, but after 9 months there's very little (if any) tangible improvements to the game. The game's been in development much longer than 9 months - may I remind you, in case you forgot. The patches and changes were also few and far between for the mod - majority of the awesome changes were introduced by community driven mods such as DayZero.

Do you want me to quantify it in miles per hour? I've followed the development of several games and mods over the years, and I have yet to witness something as slow and progress deprived as DayZ. Even ARMA managed to achieve more.

It's an ALPHA... People have been saying it since the mod days. Please stop using that fact as an end-all be-all excuse for every conceivable bug in the game. When will the brainwashed fan-boys realize that the slow development of dayz is not normal. I wonder how long Rocket can keep fooling you guys with exciting buzzwords such as "network bubble"... I mean come on. Think! In what way does the game differ from it's original state (original Alpha release)? Only item and map wise has the game actually changed. The performance and bugs are still very much there. 9 months since the official early release and this is the things you people get excited about Also, the development of PC version isn't even 1/16 complete and the ps4 version is already announced.... Ok, if alarm bells aren't going off in your head, then you're probably crazy.

People don't like the lack of 3rd person only, that's the only reason why they don't play on it tbh.

I have had this happen to me also - on the mod, stand alone and ARMA 3. I think it's a major sound bug that's going to get fixed (there were a number of threads about it on ARMA 3 forums at least, if I remember right).

I don't think it's a good idea. The reloading can already be cumbersome and it's not really "realistic". For example for the SKS you would be able to have rounds in your pockets and reload without thinking about it, but in game you need to drag it from inventory, instead of pressing "R" and having your character load each round manually.

I don't know if this is the same problem you're having, but, in ARMA 3 you can hear people reload from 50 meters away. I know similar sound glitch occured in the mod, not sure if it still happens though,

I like to gear up, survive, then kill.
