DayZ seasonal weather changes?

Of course they can fix it. They only know what an alpha phase is.

Of course it's alpha and they should be locking this shit down already if they know how fix it. Unless people start demanding the core mechanics get fixed before they add weapons n shit nothing will change

Why? Alpha means feature-adding. The implementation of new features will bug other features. Theres no point in a bugfix rampage. Fixed bugs will get broken again by newly added content. Once they are done with adding features they will move on to Beta and the fixing will begin.

 

What should they fix about zombies? The new navmesh got introduced in 0.47, collision is being worked on (and makes progress! ), and the mellee system just went from scripted to being a part of the engine ( ofc its bugged ). See, they are adding stuff to make zombies better. Just don't expect this to work out flawlessly right at the initial implementation. But we need to test the steps they take. Dynamic pathfinding / collision system / entirely new mellee system are no small updates like new guns or clothes. They will take some time. So no, the programmers working on the items shall please not stop working on their stuff and wait for the zombie crew to provide a flawless system. You dont go to you parents and say "Mom should stop crochet socks for christmas until dad finished building the house."

 

Alpha: feature adding -> Beta: bugfixing -> Release candidate: more Bugfixing -> Game.

I don't recall where(a video) but Dean mentioned that they will add snowing in eventually, only that it won't accumulate on the ground sadly.

And i agree that it should be something that needs to be syncd across all servers. otherwise people would simply jump over to a server where weather conditions were better(lets say from heavy snow to a warm sunny server) and just wait to get all warmed up then switch back and keep going.
