Time-limited Trial version

[Mbre0 0]

Hello!

I wanted to ask you if there will be some kind of time-limited trial version of this game?
Im asking this because i am really interested in your game and am preety much hyped up, but at this time i can not afford it right now, and i think that it would be really awesome if there would be for example 48 hour trial version so the gamers could decide if they really want to buy the game or not (i know that this option on finantional side is not in your best interest).
either way keep up the good work  :thumbsup:  :) 

.... i apologize for all the gramatical incorrections due to english is not my native language  :|

I don't think this could be really safe considering the cracking-scene ;)

 

If you want to get the best information about the game, you just have to read and watch videos about DayZ. I think, you could figure out a really solid opinion about itself and buy it or not. 

 

I think, that the SA is allready better in very much aspects than the mod.

ain't gonna happen

48h x every steam account, yea right, good luck

1) 48 hours is really long

2) Easy to get around

3) In (time) people could either do pretty much everything or get constantly killed by bandits

4) Or would it be in a SP thing? That would misrepresent the game

5) Could you just keep playing said (time) period?

One could try Arma2Free to get a vague feel?

so better start to save money for the game :D, i have already watched livestreams and it seems to me that the game is really good (dont mind the bugs , didnt mind them in stalker shoc so... :D ), but the main problem is my pc config , as i am curently using my gf¨s laptop that has no dedicated gpu ,and is pretty much in a bad shape, even thou it can ˝run˝ the arma 2 , i dont know if i can actually run the standalone.

Dean doesn't encourage the purchase of alpha anyway.

there are many youtube lets play videos you can watch to get a better feel for the game

If you could have 48Hr trials, the only way to make it work (slightly) is to IP Lock the trial, which is really pointless seeing as it is very easy to change your IP Address now and you couldn't have it steam locked because people would just make new accounts all the time. Anyway having the trial idea would just cause more cheaters, like WarZ guest pass shenanigans

The game is brilliant mate, If you like immersive games that make you paranoid and you like to play stealthy and stay in the shadows so to speak you will love Dayz.  If not  you could be killed alot and on here moaning. :)

 

Even my gf plays Dayz, she norm only likes games like WoW, minecraft or Starbound, but she plays when with me and likes to collect gear and search buildings.

Like me she doesnt like pvp and we avoid it if can by staying out the way and  keeping vigilant or our surroundings always.

 

The only time i pvp is when i know i have the upper hand, else i just move away and keep alive.

 

But the game is by far the best game i ever played.. I know some will disagree but i've loved dayz from daymod begining. :)

A trial is usually made from a completed game. Early access we have now is kind of a paid trial so...

I do not know how accurate it is (as my PC is good enough to run most games), but I heard mention of a website (http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri) on this forum that people recommended.  I tried it; it shows how far below/above the minimum/recommended requirements you are and shows each part on your PC is good/too underpowered to run the game.

 

Edit: Disregard this; apparently this is a unreliable tool. Thanks for the info TheCalyx!

That website is unreliable, like steams pc recommendations also. If you look at Arma 2 OA system requirements, they are fairly low and aren't that good of a part for a pc, but when you play it, it's terribly laggy if you had the exact specifications..

In my opinion, it'd be grossly stupid to issue "demos" for an Alpha that everyone else has paid for, sight unseen.

[marsmars 155]

anyway if they did ever offer a trial, it wouldnt be of an alpha version
