I keep hearing about DeadZ hackers, what is it what they actually do? I mean how can you guys recognize them while playing? And again, I know as well as nothing about game development, and really wouldn't like to turn out some "wiseguy", but wouldn't it be good for the developers to set certain PRIORITIES, and add, fix, or improve game elements and issues in a planned row, instead of working on so many things at the same time? (as You mentioned) For example, shouldn't they focus/concentrate to zombie AI 1st, and leave less important features. like fixing small, actually almost insignificant bugs in graphics, adding more new weapons, items, equipment, NPCs, events, locations, buildings, vehicles to drive, and similar stuff for later? I am asking this since I keep reading about improvements in each new dayZ version, where mostly only such less important changes are listed.......its as if one would start furnishing his new house before even its roof is finished, or painting his new car before even its engine is installed. 1st the basics, then the decorations I mean......

Btw, I saw youtube gameplays, heard comments, and read complaints that there are still too few zombies in the game, so that it is much more centered/focused on PvP than actually zombie killing/surviving action....is that still so? If yes, is it planned to be changed, meaning the gameplay focus to be shifted towards zombie battling instead of PvP? That will normally require much more zombies, and also their AIs to be improved/increased I guess......

Well thanks to those who suggest Project Zomboid, Zombieland, and similar old fashioned games to me, I actually AM an old school gamer, but if it is about new, modern games, especially with an apocalyptic zombie survival topic, even I do have my expectations about the game graphics, ambience, and realism. (the right "feeling" you know.....) As I just read here, there is already a way here to break doors, and because of barricading, windows will also play an important role in the game, at least once in the future, so DayZ may still turn out to be a perfect game for me one day. Thanks for all the feedback, informations, and advices again!

Well in State Of Decay they sure can......I don't know much about game development, but isn't SoD a smaller, and much more simple game than dayZ?I mean its creators probably spent much less time and effort with the game, and still managed to implement that feature successfully, even along with relatively intelligent zombie AIs, which often use the advantages of it...... However, I got bored of SoD, it is too smiple for me, too few items, too more important quests, (even in Breakdown DLC), so too few truly FREE AND OPEN gameplay possibilities, always the same only one map, which I already know by heart, without any new, unexpected events, innovations or features.....and the most important, only AIs with very limited intelligence and very predictable reactions, no chance to play with or against REAL PEOPLE, which is actually the true challenge in this game genre. Well yes, I guess I will have to delay buying DayZ for now, until at least windows will become breakable and passable, IF (as you indicated) that will ever happen at all...... Thanks for the info though, you saved me 28 euros and a disappointment! Don't get me wrong, the game (according the gameplay videos) looks real nice, cool, and attractive, and all my respects to its developers for their achievements in it so far, graphics, sound effects, ambience, diversity, etc, but with such a serious omission, (at least for my taste), as unbreakable and even non-passable windows, I am not willing to start playing it. The game realism is just too important for me to try it out.yet. Thanks again for the info! Caccio out!
