I bet there's some mixed feelings for all of us who have played Dayz since that first night Dean released the mod for ArmA2. 1.0 is just another number for those players. Often 1.0 is the finished, polished product that you buy and enjoy, but not so much these days(z). Not when you have enjoyed the product over 5 years and waiting and waiting it to become everything you dreamed it to be. It's just next patch and you are still waiting... :) I hope 1.0 brings new players to DayZ and they can enjoy the game without the "burden" of 5 years testing the game. To feel and experience the same feelings (the good ones) you have during those 5 years of development. Gongrats to BIS and Developers of DayZ for making a game that made an impact to whole gaming industry.

Nope. Just logged in with my head torch on. All official servers night time. ^^ Well i can hold it in my hand with hands raised and see something. I just hope that someone sees me and shoots me.

Now this? Sun through the terrain or what ever that light at the right corner is? Only when looking certain direction. edit. anyone testing these patches at night time at all? Or is the stable new stresstest?

Well now in first person you cant see head torch light at all. Only when you hold it on you hand and raise hands it shows the spotlight to your left. But when you put it on your head. Nothing. Complete darkness. And in 3rd person it looks like this.

This. Is this thing buried? Or still coming for PC?

Head torch needs some fixing. If you move just your head the spotlight wont move with it. And from 3rd person it looks like this in certain angles. Love the sound of rain and wind. Damn nice atmosphere.

^DayZ twitter. Yea right. Most basic thing doesn't work. You cant craft. All you can do is kill everyone you see and even that doesn't often work. It's easier to use melee then shoot someone because of the shitty hit reg. Zeds are way too soft. They can hit you all you want and you dont get bleeding and easy to kill.

Can't actually do anything that needs combining. Don't put this to stable.

Can't open cans. Can opener, knife. Can't combine. Canned spaghetti.

Welcome to (beta)apocalypse! I like to go out in style.

DayZ. It's autumn right? Nortern/Eastern Europe. It is damn dark at this time of year. Even day time, if it's rainy/foggy day. And nigth with thick clouds in the forest it's pitch black. You can't even see your own hand. With modded servers there will always be servers that has forever bright happy happy joy joy summer day. It is hard to balance the night for majority. We all know that. But just don't make the night useless. Lone wolves need to have some advantage to surprise groups. :P

Oh boy. Night + foggy/clouds + flare runs out... loving it. Cant see shit. Only hear the sound of infected and howling wind. All you can do is to crawl into corner and wait for the morning. :)

And if that happens. It will be probably the first time when some major date set by the devs is going to hold. So i wouldn't hold my breath just yet.

Pretty much offtopic to this thread... as is my answer. Well OFP or ArmA wasn't open for public 5 years before 1.0 version. I always thought that when you participate early acces game, you get the final product when it goes GOLD/1.0/BETA test over. Yea you get few updates to fix bugs. But you dont have to wait years again to get the stuff that was promised over the years of alpha stage. I really hope that BIS is not planning to use same strategy with it's next ArmA or what ever it will be called military simulator. ArmA devs went to prison, DayZ devs go to gamesexpo's to please xbox-players. ^^

There are no more corners. We are running around in circle. The smartest of us jumped off from this carousel broken promises.

So more you pay, less you get? Nice business idea. Hell, I wouldn't pay 28€, if someone would introduce this game to me now. I don't think i would even pay that first early acces price, what ever it was. Can't even remember that anymore. It was so long time ago when that dream was sold to us. And it's still only a dream. What we have now is a nice looking empty world with slightly better pvp gaming experience. For the survivors this is a major blow. Maybe the Xbox players are happy? Map and compass, yiihaaa... wait, we had those 5 years ago. We can build a base with stick and stones, but you can't throw a stone. "Oh shit we are running out of time" "No worries, lets just call this product 1.0"

It's nice to hunt again. ;) No major problems. Cooking stuff is a bit clunky sometimes. Items stuck on hands. But it works eventually. Vehicles and tents cant come soon enough.

Yei, 1st person only servers also back in action. Kill... See u at DE 0-2 ;)

It's Status Report Tuesday and yes let's hope we see the new stress test update today aswell. ...or maybe they keep fixing bugs that they create each update and then after few years it's time to make new game engine again and whole cycle begins from the start.

One of the nicest places. I wish i had a car or a bicycle. Where's my rally car when i need it. (can't wait for the mod's) Who's playing?

^Yes.

2 weeks experimental. No crashes, no problems. How about some new content? The loot is just so anoyingly booring. There's like under 10 different items atm?

Something is wrong when most noticeable pr-person leaves the project... again. It was Dean who first brought players (and millions to bis) to Dayz. And atleast for me Brian was one of the most convincing person after Dean who kept people believe in Dayz @ social media.

Yes. Like this "house" down here. Never ready. We are only getting new "checklist's, status reporst etc." to see how slow the development has become with Dayz.

I'll stop right there. Good luck with the game. I really hope there will be Dayz 1.0 someday and players to play it.
