Lots of stuff.  Zombie navigation improvements, many new weapons, fishing/hunting/animals.  No vehicles.  Loot respawn/persistence implemented but turned off in stable.

 

See link for more info.

Your fly made me angry (good joke though) but right now the melee system right now makes it difficult to kill zombies without a gun. But lots of good stuff is new.

if you favor melee weapons, you may wanna stay away for another 6 months.

I have not noticed better zed navigation. The first one I saw fell through the stairs he tried to climb. Same old shitty problems.

QQ, Zed. If you think there have been no improvements, you're fooling yourself. The AI is miles ahead of where it was. It still has miles to go, sure. But it's way better.

 

Also, am I the only one who has no issues with melee? Short of giving up on the pitchfork, the axes are pretty easy to wield.

0.46 was awesome, melee weapons actually worked. With basic crafting introduced and hunting, this game was actually worth playing even if you werent into pvp.

0.47 fucked the melee weapons completely, guns dont fire sometimes. So its a break for few months for me again

Pretty much the only thing I have noticed is a slight improvement to their navigation...that's about it as far as I have observed. Ever since the new patch I've seen them do even more crazy shit then they did before.

[sai (DayZ) 137]

Things have been added, but it's very little, Nothing thats worth playing the game for.

 

It's almost the exact same thing beside some more items and an animal or two. The mod is and was so much better. I'm pretty disappointed in the progress, but all we can do is wait.

First off, melee weapons kinda suck right now. Still viable, but takes a lot of readjustment.

Handful of new guns, mostly aimed at CQC.

Craftable backpacks, hunting and fishing.

 

Lots of new cities in the NE. Berezino to Novodimitrovsk are the new PvP zones, in general. NWAF is sometimes still looted, but more empty than it used it be. Mosin is still the king of guns.

nope... the mosin now sucks on long range. they removed the ability to attach bipod and the holdbreath function doesnt work anymore for stablizing

Also the zombies can go from outside the building to the 4th floor in the time of a single growl

Also the hopper zombies can hop out of the wall and attack you as they hop back into the wall so you can't kill them

Also the hopper zombies can attack you from the ground floor and hit you on the 3rd or 4th floor

Also the zombies are part bloodhound now and can track you from electro to the NW corner of the map

Also to hit a zombie with an axe it is hit or miss. you either kill it on the first hit or you have to aim at the ground or the sky to hit it

Also shot a female zombie 5 times with a mosin as she came up the flight of stairs towards me, nothing, she got to the top & hit me once, broken arm and both legs broken. 2nd hit knocked me unconscious then "you are dead"

 

Also increased the number of zombies, which woulld be great except for all of the above

 

So no, don't come back until at least H1Z1 releases their alpha, try out Dayz SA at that time again, then try out their alpha & laugh at the sorry excuses the Devs make as for why Dayz Sa still sucks.

Just IMHO, the devs have given up on this game as anything but a CoD kiddie shooter. So sad as it had great potential.
