The crashtest's first 8hours on dayz Standalone

[jerome_44600@live.fr 1]

Hello there, enjoying dayz since the mod, i decided to give a try to the alpha of Dayz Standalone.

Here are a my opinions and feelings.

Note 1: i didn't read any forum thread for the moment or saw any youtube tutorials before start this experience.

Note 2: I'm open to any constructive critics and know all players don't expect the same things from a game.

 

 

Graphics: Really amazing, this is exactly what i expected. Seems real, even without max setups.

Inventory: This is a great job, user friendly ( not like the previous one ), estethic, and fast management.

 

Zombies: Well, i saw around 40 zombies in 8 hours, I suppose this is normal and will come later ? Actually tried to fight them, this was pretty impossible to hit one even with my ping ( around 40 on this server ).

 

Craft: Just amazing again, more there will be craft more the survability will be hard.

 

Interact with doors: Better than before, still not really realistic but suppose you already noticed that and will modify it in the futur.

 

Gears: All good, i get my cowboy hat now i need the gun and belt ( there are belt ? ). Seriously this is really cool, but it shouldn't be common loots in my opinion. Something rare :)

 

Buildings: More openable buildings is fine too, suppose loots are harder to find now cause dispatched in more buildings, mean survability is harder.

 

Thirst, food, blood status: This is something i can understand, delete them mean this is more realistic, and we still can find them in inventory after all, all good here too.

 

Uncounscious status: This is really something i didn't enjoyed. A black screen ? nothing else ? It's like a gameover screen in a nintendo game 20 years ago ( no offence uh, i'm jocking :D )

 

Sick status: This one made me raging in front of my screen, but great job, this is again what i expected.

 

Loots: Honestly they are similar than loots in dayz mod, buggy as hell, but this is not really a problem for survability.

 

Think  dayz still a must have, survability experience is far better than before and harder ( not enough ), interactions with doors, or fountain, and probably others need something more dynamic but work fine, fight against zombie and zombies numbers need more work but i know this is an alpha version and all things can't be done in two days, graphics are just amazing, .

I didn't test more things for the moment and will do it asap.  

Dayz still one of my best gaming experiences since i'm using a keyboard ( comodores 64 ), wish you a good luck for dev part and thanks for reading !

 

Crash.

 

 

 

 

Edit: Rip

 

 

 

 

 

Pyramid in dayz ? :D strange bug x)

 

 

Little problem here, i'm blocked between two walls, even with dc / rc i can't solve it, any known solution(s) ?
