1 Year Comeback Thoughts

Recommended Posts

I've been playing this game since around .32(when I first started) and when I first started I loved it and it was a little buggy here and there and you randomly died walking through the map, but whatever. I loved the concept and stuck with it for a while. For all of 2015 I did not get to play as I was living in the country with no reliable internet to play on so coming back has been a bit of a culture shock. There's no M4?! What is a veteran to do? Oh, well, when in Rome pick up an AK. I did attempt to pick up the game sometime around the patch .42 and it was almost unbearable due to lag and zombies walking straight through walls and hitting you upstairs while on the first floor.

I love the changes made so far! The SVD? Glorious weapon. Plate carrier armor? Nice! More gear loaded out, less ammo and more weapon systems. I honestly can say the changes made have made me happy and I'm now addicted again. The only thing I am yet to do is get a car running which will be my project this week.

For any of the old(er) players here, what changes have they made that you didn't like and what have they taken out that you would like to be put back in?

Bring back the glory days of the M4A1, Mosin, Magnum and FNX! Bring back NEAF and Balota PvP! Bring back what little optimization we had!

 

When this game first launched I was running it on a GTX 580 SLI setup at 50-150 (yep, one hundred fifty) frames per second. Now? GTX 780 Ti SLI getting ~30-60 frames per second, if I'm lucky. I'd take DayZ at launch over what it is today, any day of the week. It was so much more fun, even though there was less loot. I've always felt like this game has too many guns in it, anyway.

 

Peace and love.

I definitely see what you are saying here. When I first had the game I had a steady 200 FPS on my GTX760, which I'm STILL rocking though I might need an upgrade here soon since with all of these new patches I'm coasting between 80-100 depending on the area. I do notice one thing though and I know it's because I need more RAM, but it does seem to randomly stutter a lot. I'll catch a spot when I'm running in the woods and I drop to maybe 10fps and it gets super jumpy and I just have to stop the controls and let it sit in for about 10 seconds and then I'm good to go.

I do miss Balota as well. A lot used to go down in the NWA and in Balota and people were normally not KOS in Cherno and Elektro. Now it almost feels like the opposite. I can walk through an airfield almost no issues but if I so much as look at Cherno the wrong way, I'm catching an SVD round to the chest. On my first outing I figured as a fresh spawn I would be able to at least go into town and get some food without being harassed, which I quickly realized was a mistake when I turned a corner and got jumped by two guys with shovels.

I don't know if this is supposed to be in the game or not but I ran across a rather large weapons cache inside barrels, which were inside tents. Is this something new? Or should this sort of content be reported for a public server?

Edit: I have since gone back to that spot where those tents were located and noticed that none of the items have respawned and it seems I just happened to run across someones stash pile. I was unaware that tents and barrels keep the gear with persistance on, though I haven't read into it much to see.
