Conrad_The_Comrade 577 Posted July 26, 2017 As much as I love DayZ I'd still say wait, least till .63 (And god knows how long that'll be) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Majority of the mechanics are in place but what we are playing right now was the concept of DayZ. The developers have been working on a whole new engine and player controller behind the scenes that we haven't even seen yet. With all the feedback and data collected over the past few years they were able to create the DayZ that they want on a engine that is capable of doing what is needed.

The combat (Zeds and PvP alike) barely changed, the world barely changed, and the community absolutely hasn't changed (For better and for worse). Unless you're as astounded by new leaf textures (And not gonna lie I spent a good chunk of time just soaking those in), I don't see the point in returning right now. That's not to say that once we get some more updates rolling through my opinion won't change, because it will. I have an ungodly amount of love for this game, and am excited to see where it goes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
☣BioHaze☣ 7337 Posted July 27, 2017 The new environment is worth checking out but is still being improved. (See recent status report) The change in audio is really nice though still very WIP itself. Considering you haven't played in over a year, I would play now before .63 just to get familiar with some changes ahead of time and to witness this particular increment in the process. Whether you wait for .63 or not, you will likely be impressed. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WOLFGEIST 122 Posted July 27, 2017 The renderer launched just over a year ago (May 2016). If you haven't played since then, absolutely check it out! Nobody has mentioned .61, the incredible new gunfire sounds add tons of atmosphere to the game. Also there's now wolves, dynamic zombie spawning, dynamic lighting, a LOT of the map has been changed, especially the western border, and then there were a ton of changes in .62 like DOUBLING the tree count from 700k to 1.4m trees. I would say yes, it's absolutely worth checking out. .63 is a while away but I think it's worth it to play the final alpha build. It's a great time to play imo. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mantasisg 172 Posted July 27, 2017 Yeah, tech side is not too bad right now, lots of nice stuff. I just don't like trees LOD's switching, extremely noticeable and very nnoying. Grass completely LODs out in too short distance.... Also that they made the player move at turtle speed up to even slightest hill, it doesn't even have to be super steep. Also you never know when some zombie will kill you from one hit.... Game side - not so nice. Among few people who are still playing KOS is a big thing, or they are lonewolfs, not seeking for interactions. Loot economy is very spread over the map, a lot of points of interest, still 99percents of running. Players are really spread also, you don't meet them too often, and then a lot of them are non vocal or KOS'ers, not very creative players. Game side used to be much better, even with tech side being much worse in the past. I don't like new Novo. Old Novo was best place in DayZ. But whatever, the map is huge - which is also the problem most of the time with so little mobility, and not enough players. IMO game will be worth playing when there will be bikes, bicycles, more people, and if the coast will generate at least a little more loot, but it probably won't. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

klesh 2423 Posted July 30, 2017 Hi Baker. You'll find graphical improvements, thats about it. Worth it for one jaunt around, see some new places etc but the mechanics are pretty well unchanged. Its not the version to start playing again full time. 0.63 will be Beta phase where alot of the last 2 years work of development will start to be seen and experienced by the player. I'd hold off for that. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackberrygoo 1416 Posted July 31, 2017 Looks like baker is looking for people to tell him to play again , and not the opposite . You can see his bias through the beans he gives - anyone with a response related to not playing again recieves none , anyone with a cheery fan response receives beans . why did you even create this thread there bud ? It's clear what you want to do . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
