I have different story. A cousin invited to play. But we didn't even meet because he is noob, and couldn't even locate himself. Then I ran for ~2hours didn't meet anyone. Got into some fights against zombies. Then run for ~30-40minutes more, still have not met anyone. Then zombie killed me in one hit. Thats pretty much typical DayZ session for me. Sometimes it is more entertaining, but it is rare. Mostly it is pretty much like described. After nothing happens I usually start thinking about respawn, and new hope. it is crazy waste of time, and it has been more and more like that as DayZ was going further and further into development. Thats why it is usual to launch DayZ 1-2 times per month since last year maybe.

Newest issues, and I only played for a few hours: 1. You die from one zombie hit. I read, someone already posted about that, that it is because of players bones status. And it is BS in my opinion. It is just dumb. A major deal breaker. I also used splint multiple times on a character - either it doesn't help, or doesn't work. 2. Characters became stupidly slow climbing up the hill, the steeper the climb, the slower it goes. As it is logical from one side. It is totally nonsense when you are being chased. If you would be running for your life, you would climb faster than in slowest possible walking pace. Also zombies are moving much faster up the hills, so it is 2x issue. It used to be slower before, but now it is terribly slow up the hills, doesn't even have to be super steep. Feels more like turning away point... Just too frustrating... seems like putting DayZ to dust for a few months more, unless someone will invite me to play. So many problems, so many.... and as some goes away new comes. Some seems like very bad design choices and so on... Without knowing the hotpoints in the server its just pointless. You will not have battles, will not have interactions. Finding a car is incredible luck - don't even expect.

I have made an impression, that sometimes you just simply totally don't hear others footsteps.

TBH I have never seen somebody with ghile. And I have 500hours lol, maybe just once But it is not the point. The point is that you will not be able to hide in the grass, unless in extremely close distance. Ghillie is different topic.

I would like to see someone laying down with the ghile in ~100-200m distance, I guess he would be totally visible.

Stops rendering at 50m ? So no win lol, false thread. I haven't tried DayZ in low settings now, and believed. Trust no one in DayZ, gotta check it yourself. Edit: I feel stupid for not noticing it before. No grass at all in close distance... I also died because of that, and with that in mind at the moment. noob Also LODs switching is quite bad. P.S. I don't remember last time when I met someone in Novo lol, maybe a year ago lol, used to met rather many players there.

Yeah core game has been improoving constantly a lot, also nice to hear that foliage will be meaningful from now on. But I'm not confident, nor excited at all - because gameplay. I just don't have it. All the hopes are for 0.63, as devs have stated it is going to be patch from which they are starting to create an actual game. So excited to get excited when we'll have 0.63. Maybe going to get happy when I'll see 0.63 being downloaded, not so much till that. Right now I'm usually having just a run around, kill few zombies.... Don't have time to play for 3hours straight so I would have a possibility to meet someone.

These things are becoming unacceptable

Donloding Maybe someone already launched it ? Is this game finaly playable ?

Absolutely. It used to be running around for 20-30minutes, in the mean time finding a gun and bullets for it. And then you could either protect yourself from bandits, or be a bandit. It wasn't necessary a pvp action as soon as you get ammo. There used to be so much more interactions. I miss old Novo map. So much fun happened there. New one does not associate with any fun for me, because nothing ever happens there. New Electro have had some fun in it, but also much less than it used to be in old Electro. It was a real survival feeling. And zombies were much more "safe" then. With current zombies and performance DayZ would be epic. Steamcharts numbers says it all. Now you run for 2-3hours, and then you shut down the game, or get snipped, or game crashes itself - come back later.

Paranormal Noobivity However, I miss those times when there were a bit more loot in the coast. Now you are forced to go inlands. And players gets scattered accross the map so much more, and there are so much less interactions as a result..

I have turned into albino once. I also experience a lot of crashes. Sometimes player starts stuttering when inside the house. Maybe I should play in 64bit mode ?

Imagine how he speaks in game it must be like one big sentence and with no emotion in a quick manner like psycho computer controlled killer robot insane

Psychos has more entertaining time for sure :D

Whatever... people are not playing in night servers anyway. Seems that all the core players, the most creative ones, are just having DayZ dusting on the shelf. Maybe till 0.63. Night Vision will not spoil anything, because ^^^^, also because you will not find it.

Woods are awesome ! But nothing is really happening to me, maybe its my fault. Just saw one guy bleeding wanted to bandage him, but he was actually dead. Somebody driven past me, but all I see was an empty car with nobody inside it. Still waiting. Maybe this game really just shouldn't be played alone. Even in full server.

Oh shiiiiiiiyyyyy eats on stable ! DayZTV.COM sucks like always, found the post in official DAYZ Hatebook page, 24mins ago

I actually don't know if there really going to be wipe, but I guess every major update had it. However if this is only graphical... IDK

Awesome ! Finally an actual reason to launch this game once again. Too bad probably will have less than hour to play, so it means that most likely will not meet anyone. However, playing after wipe usually is more lively, as less people are up in inlands camping in bushes with their precious loot already.

In latest QnA senior map designer said that underground structures couldn't work properly because of tech side, and that it would take a lot of "rebuilding from scratch". And I don't understand any part. DayZ has multiple light sources, incredibly nicely working internal building shadows, and superb shadows overall, day and night transition (from daylight to darkness). What else would you need to have an underground place ? As for rebuilding from scratch, I don't understand that either, as it would probably require nothing much more than entry/exit points objects on top, maybe some ventilation, or escape points here and there, how would it need redoing any area from scratch ?

Have you guys ever played DayZ at night ? I'm aware that there are different kinds of darkness. I have had a bit of life some years ago, and being on foot after midnight, sometimes in forest wasn't really unusual. And it doesn't take very long to start seeing in dark. Of course if you have been using flashlight, and you have to defend yourself you have no time to get used to darkness. Thats why you shouldn't use flashlights in the first place, unless its very necessary.

If you don't use flashlights in dark, during the time eye gets used to darkness, and you begin to see. If you use flashlight you see only where light is projected, bonus you make yourself visible as fcuk. So who the hell uses flashlights in situation like this ? Is this slenderman gameplay ?

Who the hell uses flashlights in situation like this....

Doesn't make sense. It shouldn't be much different from multi stores building, or bridges...

Whats difficult to make there ? You model an object, and model an entrance, thats it. My guess is that there are problems with lighting, I guess there would be too much light in those closed areas during night. I guess Night/Day is simply a global thing, and as it would be day, it couldn't be night in a cave like it should be lol This screenshot by Oliver just proves that, that basement should be deadly dark. Would love underground structures anyway, ofcourse it would trigger endless wishlist for darkness in those places, maybe someday huh totally not a priority
