RUS_Starbuck 2 Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) Looking at how slowly DayZ mod has evolved, and how slowly DayZ SA is evolving, I wonder: when was the last feature update for DayZ Mod? It's been out for nearly 2 years and things like the melee weapons and zombie movements look like they haven't been touched up or worked on - well before SA came out. Even as an alpha, with as much time that the mod was worked, on how do melee weapons still shoot an awkward shotgun blast 2 meters away from you, then fail at working up close when zombies are in your face? Only a couple days' work could easily make those weapons much more fluid. I don't think the zombie animations or movement have been touched at all since the mod was made... and the male player model? What swamp did they dig that model up from? The texture must be 128x128 in size, looks like vomit. Another thing that was probably never been touched since release - It's what you look at almost all the time when playing, obviously there wasn't much time spent on it. I don't think the Devs have a very good track record with making their products evolve. Any veteran mod players that can touch on what WAS ever worked on?

cywehner1234 582 Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) I hope you realize this is an alpha and nothing is final.. I'm pretty sure they had to throw away all their zombie work for some reason, it was in a dev blog. But seriously, it's an alpha, and a damn good one. You're right though, zombies need work (obviously) and I don't believe the male player model is bad at all. This game has come a FAR way than what you realize from being new.. Better / New things -Inventory-Animations-Zombies (Pathfinding)-Graphics of models implimented-Weapons-Melee-Map improvement-Weapons build from the ground up-(Better sounds soon, as they hired a sound person)-Vaulting while running-Night-Clouds-Attatchments There is a ton of stuff, you just have to look more in depth. In my opinion the mod is nothing compared to this, considering all the mod was was literally arma 2 but a game mode. Edited January 19, 2014 by AsOiX Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
starthealmighty 597 Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) I cant Tell when/if your complaining about SA or the Mod.. But since you posted in the MOD section, I'm going to assume your mostly talking about the mod. The Mod couldn't do anything about melee, Because of the Arma Engine And as for the Zombies, as before, the Arma Engine is broken. Although check videos for 1.8.1 and you can see the improved zombies there The player model? once Again I cant tell if you're complaining about SA or the Mod.The Mod had low texture because of.... Once again Arma, Which restricts the Max resolution used The Mod team and Dayz Team are completely different The Mod Team were restricted in what they could do, So a lot of things couldn't be done. They Pushed the engine of Arma to the extreme, Showing just how bad/frustrating/anoying the engine is and the reason why a new one was needed for SA Edited January 19, 2014 by Star Thornberry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aaand 1.8.1 will never live to see daylight, the mod's abandoned, sadly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
on3c3nt 185 Posted January 20, 2014 It's not the same engine. It is based on the same, but almost totally different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
