mitor 176 Posted March 17, 2013 (edited) It's not dead, It's more a case of everything that gets said just lately has likely been already said a thousand times in the past. People hate repeating themselves.Exactly. I almost never enter now the forums, I am tired of seeing the same threads, the same suggestions and the same type of people saying stupid things about what Rocket supposedly promised and what Rocket has the obligation to do and give us...

Fraggle (DayZ) 15720 Posted March 18, 2013 Also, let's not forget that last summer Dayz was riding an epic wave of hype. It had to die down at some point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DayzForumer 284 Posted March 18, 2013 Do you mean why is the forum so dead or why do you not get any responses?Why the forum is slow/dead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
burritoman259 593 Posted March 18, 2013 Next time a devblog is released watch the recent radio chatter bar explode, "All these wow look at these new features!" threads are then locked/merged by moderators and administrators. Besides I wouldn't call the forums dead, the word hibernation fits it better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oath3 38 Posted March 18, 2013 Well it sure looks like this one didn't take long :PAnd it's been said a lot now, but it's just that 70% of what's posted now has already been asked and no one wants to repeat themselves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

walrus2517 27 Posted March 18, 2013 Arma 3 alpha plus Wasteland. Once you've played with the new controls going back to Arma 2 feels (and looks) awful and Wasteland is fulfilling everyone's multiplayer needs. At this point I'm more interested in the first Arma 3 DayZ port than I am the SA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Once you've played with the new controls going back to Arma 2 feels (and looks) awful and Wasteland is fulfilling everyone's multiplayer needs. At this point I'm more interested in the first Arma 3 DayZ port than I am the SA.An ARMA 3 mod would be full of the same problems that we've had in the mod whereas the purpose-built game will see all of these resolved. It'd pretty much be DayZ mod minus the clunky movement with similar graphics to the standalone. Also, porting the mod over to a different engine will no doubt introduce new problems.

Also, porting the mod over to a different engine will no doubt introduce new problems.I understand but I'm sure folks are already working on it anyway. Hell, by the time anyone gets DayZ working well on Arma 3, Arma 4 will probably be close to release. ;)My point is simply that the controls for Arma 3 are far superior to Arma 2, arguably the biggest improvement in this iteration, and going back to the Arma 2/ToH controls for the SA will be a step backwards, no matter how great or feature-rich it may be (and who doesn't want to break from zed killing to crap in a tin can?). Plus, the longer it takes to release the SA, the more people will be playing and getting used to the Arma 3 mechanics.I'll still be purchasing and trying out the SA, but at this point it's primarily to honor/credit Rocket and Bohemia. My enthusiasm for it is practically zero now that I've put 20+ hours into Arma 3 and gotten used to it.EDIT: I should probably add that although I still check these forums almost daily, I haven't personally played DayZ in about 6-8 weeks, even before Arma 3 alpha, so my enthusiasm was waning already.

I mean, What's the point of doing it? As mZLY says, it will be the same as Dayz as it is now with better graphics and different animations. And Dayz's main problems are not graphics nor animations.

walrus2517 27 Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) Well, don't be so sure. I don't really think we'll see an Arma 3 Dayz Mod. I mean, What's the point of doing it? As mZLY says, it will be the same as Dayz as it is now with better graphics and different animations. And Dayz's main problems are not graphics nor animations.Because when the SA is released with crappier graphics and control mechanics than the Arma 3 alpha, a lot of folks will come to these forums to complain.As for the point of it, we're talking about modders. I don't mod for Arma but I do mod for a couple of other games and have found, as with experimentation in all facets of life, people will try it just to see if it can be done. If it doesn't work or if it isn't better than the SA so no one plays it, I'm fairly certain someone, somewhere, if not a team of folks, will still attempt it, if they aren't already.Judging by a quick cursory search of forum topics here it looks like this idea has been discussed at great length already although I don't see anything about it actually being worked on yet.EDIT: Scratch that.

☣BioHaze☣ 7337 Posted March 18, 2013 The quiet before the storm.A lot of people are waiting for SA or news of SA.thisthough i recently updated the mod and keep thinking of playing a little.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
walrus2517 27 Posted March 19, 2013 That's Dynamic Zombie Sandbox, LOL. It's not even a mod, just a mission...I have no idea what it is except a start to something. It probably won't come to anything either. But you said you didn't think anyone would work on a DayZ/zombie mod for Arma 3 because you didn't see a point. I was just showing that some people already are and I doubt they are the only ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SmashT 10907 Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) Dynamic Zombie Sandbox has been around a lot longer then DayZ, I'm sure someone will make a DayZ mod too though, I heard DayZ 2017 is already in the works. Edited March 19, 2013 by smasht_AU 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
