This would be really amazing, beautiful and sometimes veeeeeery cold winter ! But I guess that it would end up just like night and rain, everybody wants it, and then you don't see it in any server at all.

Economy in DayZ is really like it was in 2008

I'm tired of being all negative nancy in most of my posts.... but I could tell the same about most of the ammo + gun. Ammo is qute rare * guns are quite rare equals getting armed is rare in square. Though some stuff I find sometimes, I don't remember when I had 308 the last time....

A lot of things are awesome. But its the most awesome when things works together and makes sense. Walking just for walking in DayZ doesn't do it now, maybe someday. Personally I hate that new feature that players are forced to slow down to walking pace when climbing a hill, even if it is not very steep. It is just a detail which makes it much worse to me. Hopefully it will get fixed with whatever is going to get fixed, if you would be running for your life you would fly up to steepest hill, even if you would pass out at some point after getting extremely exhausted. As walking just to add more variety for the game and saving stamina and chill out a bit, why not, if you only have time for that.

Thats a bit different, than expanding running grounds. Map is already large enough to have more vehicles than there is right now. Traffic jams wouldn't happen, trust me. The map could probably feel relatively small with helicopter and plane (which also is comming), but I guess most of the dayz player will never get a chance to use one anyway. Few a little more distant islands would be nice for boats and helicopters. But please no more land.

Sure everyone can do whatever he/she likes as long as it doesn't interfere with others freedom. Thats alright. And tamagotchi is rather fun game, whole world was going crazy for that once. Playing alone in empty server is almost the same thing.

lol @ that no one voted for more/stable cars This really proves that this voting is not doing justice. MOAR MAP, MOAR MAP

Looks to me like you are playing tamagotchi, not dayz :D Are you sprinting like all the time everywhere ? Are you starting to enjoy lonelyness, and starting to feel like avoiding any interactions ? Have you collected some serious loot, which you value a lot ?

Yes back seat designers and devs is just going too far, I like to play one sometimes too, but I think there are limits anyway. And to the ones who would like MAP EXPANASJAKJDA. What do you think people, what do you think........ We have 14x14km map already, and it is bigger than huge, just 50-60players online, vehicles extremely rare. It is almost impossible to meet anyone already, even delibarately trying to do it. What you want would make the game worse, I even would like the map to be chopped into several fragments to have greater density of players.... huge hopes for the modding. And if you only want something new to explore, then just wish for alternative map IMO I hope Developers does not think that way (seems like many of you do), I'm sure they are clever guys.

Wow, such fun. ^^ Since when this thread become "Last time I played like this and this happened" thread ? Anyway.... I knew I shouldn't be launching till 0.63, but I really really wanted to play DayZ. So I did. I'm only playing at full servers, like always. I was already at Novy Sobor, still had no interaction, also haven't found any food, and haven't collected gun + usable ammo. I'm gone through Stary Sobor. Still no interaction, no food, no gun and usable amo. Went to Airfield - no gun and usable ammo, no food, heard shots. Went through half of the Airfield, still haven't found anything AT THE AIRFIELD. Now it is about one hour into the play, and I have been around one of the hottest points of inlands and I haven't collected any meaningful loot, I have no food, nothing to protect myself. I just went for the guy who was shooting zombies in the mid of Airfield, and said that he can kill me if he only wish, of course he did. Spice up realism ? Spice up the gameplay.

I want it to be a game. Not a tech demo like it is now. Map expansion are you serious ???????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Really ????? ???? ? Player count expansion any day.

I can't wait till zeds will be able to kick the doors, and get in. I like that there is nice zeds spawning system right now, and that if you shoot, then they run to you, from all around. But I think that they finds you too immediately. But I haven't been playing for a while. I didn't like that zeds can find where the shots are coming from faster than I do lol But it helps when they shows you where to go lol

Just fire a bullet in the middle of electro, and they will immediately know where you are, almost like if they knew computer precise coordinates of where you are/were lol You'll see them haha

@Espa Great post :) I too would see base building a great thing for factions/clans to build up. Originally it is probably visioned that clans and factions will be created manually by people with the help of forums, or/and just agreemend between real friends. But I think there wouldn't be created much "teams", "factions", or "clans" whatever we want to call it. I hope that Devs will throw in default factions as you point out in second point. It would be truly awesome, and it would really function if there also would be some kind of laws functions, so you couldn't kill a player from your faction without consequences. It should also be possible to say who is representing which faction from visual references. Also would be great to play "capture the flag" type of games between factions. I know I'm going a bit too far there lol If it is not visioned by default, then I hope it will be possible to make via modding.

Yeah, tech side is not too bad right now, lots of nice stuff. I just don't like trees LOD's switching, extremely noticeable and very nnoying. Grass completely LODs out in too short distance.... Also that they made the player move at turtle speed up to even slightest hill, it doesn't even have to be super steep. Also you never know when some zombie will kill you from one hit.... Game side - not so nice. Among few people who are still playing KOS is a big thing, or they are lonewolfs, not seeking for interactions. Loot economy is very spread over the map, a lot of points of interest, still 99percents of running. Players are really spread also, you don't meet them too often, and then a lot of them are non vocal or KOS'ers, not very creative players. Game side used to be much better, even with tech side being much worse in the past. I don't like new Novo. Old Novo was best place in DayZ. But whatever, the map is huge - which is also the problem most of the time with so little mobility, and not enough players. IMO game will be worth playing when there will be bikes, bicycles, more people, and if the coast will generate at least a little more loot, but it probably won't.

I suggest to wait for 0.63

Yes it was ridiculous hyperbole, because it was humour. And yes it is totally understandable that things aren't black and white strictly, and there are more and less interested people, more and less devoted and involved.... It doesn't change anything. If three million copies of this game has been sold soon after the early release of the game, and we only have a few posts in this subforum per day, what does it say ? And this - http://steamcharts.com/app/221100 ? How many people are expected to read status reports, study them ? How many are expected to go further into a detail to "gather knowledge" about development ? It has to be accepted that the majority just want it asap, and just to play it. And "asap" is already long ago, and all is left is "someday". Eventually one dude or another, maybe some girl out of those three million people who bought the game in early days and isn't playing anymore will eventually get nostalgic about fun they had in DayZ which they hasn't anymore, and try to think, why the hell it is only 0.62 if it was 0.55 few years ago ? And then one will decide to share the frustration here, by creating a thread. And will say "something is wrong". And then some fans will jump on and will say that he has no right to say so, he has not enough knowledge about development and so on.... And at the end it is obvious anyway - numbers are low, and development is slow. Also the game (since new renderer) is not as fun as it used to be in earlier versions, but thats just my opinion. I'd expect the game getting more and more entertaining in higher in higher iterations, but I guess thats not the case. Frustration is real. And now I will get blamed that I wasn't playing enough lately lol

You are interested in a game - you play the game. You are very interested in a game - you visit forums. You are extremely interested in a game you know a lot of stuff and details from the development, practically you google DayZ every day, check all the reports, check all the blogs, watch YT videos and so on - you are a bit crazy. You are EXTREMELY interested in a game - you invite devs to friends in facebook, check their posts everyday, eventually it is not enough from you you find out where they live, and really stalk them, eventually getting arrested. Not everyone has deep enough interest and time to check and follow every status updates by devs, every single forum post and so on, and do it for 100 years till the game is developed. So I would accept it as a natural way of events if threads like this will continue to pop up frequently till the game gets in shape, perhaps till 0.63, just perhaps. Of course, I'm not saying that insulting devs is nice, but there are reason to complain at the moment.

Well I don't think they are lazy, but IMO they don't expect, or even want people to play it just now. I have said many times before that in my view game improved very much in the tech side, but the gameplay.... meh, looks like it gets worse. I really don't understand this at all, a lot of local forum members, of which some are fanboys, and some find current product being what they need - loves it currently. I don't. For me golden age of dayz was somwhere around 0.54-0.57 IIRIC. But the techside was rubish, at some part desync was really terrible, fps was super low (also I had potato laptop), and it still was more entertaining. I think there are two scenarios going on - devs are not coming to one clear vision of the game, which is doubtful, while they obviously has arguments, because thats what humans do when they think. Second, they are trying to keep it as cold as possible, so people will not get bored of the game, and saving up the attractive side of it till it is at its best, or near the best. IMO it could be always at its best, most attractive form, and it wouldn't hurt lol To put it short, really hope that 0.63 won't take forever, like a full next year to develop hahahah hahahaha hahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa hahahahaaaa yes really, thats my expectation

Just as i was finaly in berezino, luv dayz running simulator

I'd guess that its to late for me to come for them and get killed lol Server is probably offline already.

@kopo79 There used to be more friendly and rich interactions, when there were more of them. Now asthey are too rare, a lot of players gets "battle hungry" and we know the rest - KOS, or stupid meaningless attacks... As for Lirik, I don't think he cares for interactions, just battles. There will always be some players who are only interested in fights, we could call them bandits, and DayZ needs them too, because they are greatest threat. When everybody are acting as bandits its the end of DayZ.

I expect great action there

For driving realism aspect Assetto Corsa will do. PUBG is for speedy quick action rounds gameplay. DayZ is for immersive natural survival and realism, voice communication (DayZ is very good way to practice speking in English (when you actually are able to meet someone)), epic unforgettable heart rate rising battles.... But for a while it wasn't working. vehicles is minor problem IMO, the main thing is interactions with other people. There definitelly shouldn't be too many vehicles atound, because if everybody will be driving, and I guess it would actually reduce interactions, and no one will be running at all, it is going to be weird too. But now it is just too low, obviously. Looking forward for this act of balance to kick in.

Damn this is special game lol Really have to stop doing premature conclusions, and don't go mad. So it's the wait time. When Devs mentioned that 0.63 is the time when they actually STARTS making a game made me really happy. Really curious to see whats up in the future. As for greater count of vehicles, I think it would work well, because many of them would get stripped out, so it would be challenging enough anyway. Yes.... bases and largely populated servers doesn't mix @TikTactical I have been thinking that it would need some special approach, can't wait to see what devs will come up with. I love the usual dayZ (as long as you get thing happening not too rarely), I would also really like to have clans system in DayZ, so I could join as particular clan member and have a place to defend, build, and have guaranteed interactions without worries of asking if someone is friendly or not. Well, if not, then thats idea for a mod though :) Can't wait for 100peeps servers, and better balanced vehicles :)
