Feedback to developers during GP

[bent.toe 529]

Disclaimer:

Not all of you will agree and these are MY opinions/feedback to the developers.

1. No in-game map? 

One of the biggest game worlds in the industry and no map? A bit over the top maybe?

2. A map this big and only travel by foot?

Sure...if it wasen't for an included stamina?? Run 100 meters and my character is out of breath. There are talk's about vehicles...but with these brutal conditions (see 5.) they should already be in the game

3. Inventory simulator 2018?

A direct port from pc inventory managment is just a lazy and moronic move. If you look at it in a realistic way..sure, dropping your pants everything in your pockets will follow. In a videogame...nah, a bit too realistic don't you think?

4. Greed.

Nope... €45 for a BETA with numerous bugs and problems.. That is not saying "hey community pay a small development fee and come and help us build this game to something great". That is just greed...€20 would be stretching it...you went waaaay past that. Just greed considering the pc version that is 5 years old AND still not in gold status, is cheaper.

5. Random spawn after permadeath.

How is this a good thing when playing with friends? Imagine you and 2 buddies are way up north and one of you die and respawn down by the coast. No map, no radio, no townname or anything to let your friends get a bearing on your location. If you do manage to find a way to meet up...it's a 45 minute jog to get there. Fun?....i think not.

I think it's great that one of the best survivor games have finally arrived on console. All of us here can agree on that. And this game should be all about surviving, fear and helplesness... But it should also be FUN. It is still a GAME. With this price, all these bugs, moronic inventory, no vehicles, no in-game map, random spawns AND the fact that this game is very niched towards a small group of players...will most likely mean empty servers and a small hardcore fanbase. But even those can give up.

I tried the 1 hour GP, played some more at a friends house....and based on my feedback above i will NOT shell out this amount of money for a beta. Finish the game and have full price..i got no problems to support you then. Now in this state and with your track record on the pc version? Not a chance.

Wish the team and everyone that bought it good luck and (hopefully) a lot of fun in Chernarus.

 

PS. games should first and foremost be FUN. If it's fun..most of us can take bugs and crashes with a smile and still continue to play.

Hey @bent.toe

 

Im going to give my opinion of your list and some info relating to the missing features.

 

1. No in game Map - I agree an "hand held" in game map would be nice.. However you can find tourist routes that have a map of Chernarus dotted around.

2. Vehicles - Vehicles are currently being overhauled as they were not happy with the way they worked in 0.62.. So hot new rides will come soon my man and you can give those legs a rest..

2.1 Stamina - Stamina is kind of an issue but also not at the same time.. If you where to go through your inventory and add up the amount of Kg's your character is carrying then go carry it yourself and see how far you can run i cant see it being very far.. I believe they based it off the average human. Lets face it you are a random survivor washed up on the shore. This being said, there will be soft skills down the road which may include stamina :)

3. I agree the inventory system is a bit of a mess i'm sure they will get that sorted..

4. I cant really say anything i've had just over 4000 hours on PC so i've had my moneys worth and will probably do the same on Xbox.

5. DayZ is a huge learning curve when it comes to map navigation. When you have played it as much as i have and many other experience PC players you will learn the map and know it like the back of your hand.. Hooowever the description of the game does kinda warn you..

"DayZ is a gritty, authentic, open-world survival horror hybrid-MMO game, in which players follow a single goal: to survive in the harsh post-apocalyptic landscape as long as they can. Players can live through powerful events and emotions arising from the ever-evolving emergent gameplay."

 

Maybe some people just like different levels of realism.. I never got on with any other the smaller games like H1Z1 or WarZ (Infestation).. Like i said i've played just over 4000 hours on PC and god knows how many hours playing the DayZ Mod for Arma 2 and i still haven't had enough :D

 

Anyway some solid feedback.. Don't take my reply in any form of a bad response i was just letting you know my opinion and shedding some light on a few things.. See you in Chernarus! :)

1 - Map can be found, Plenty of other ways for navigation. Tourist maps, online maps and landmarks.

 

2- cars are coming,same as planes. They are smoothing over the gameplay of vehicles before adding them.

 

3-  its bugged, its from PC. Its been out 1 day on GP on xbox? Pubg menu was bugged as hell now thats fine. Have some patience. Plus, put things in your trousers and take them off,where else are the items meant to go? Think about it....

 

4- price slightly expensive but at £30 for a game over £50 after release thenits a bargain. You know what you signed up for buying onto the GP programme, dont cry now...i see it all the time people buying into GP's to come cry on forums..Get over yourself. 

 

5-  what's wrong with that? You want to spawn 10ft away from where you died so you can noobily go grab your gear? No, work on your navigation and go find your gear! Lol ARK etc all have random respawns as do most games lol sure an item for a respawn point will arrive at some point.

 

As for your [EDITED] waffle at the end..it's obvious you haven't researched what you bought so its entirely your own fault. Your points and concerns are flawed and already answered in many places so really is noones fault but your own for buying the game.

Be excellent to eachother, please.

So...as much realism as possible?

How come i died of hunger after playing for 30 minutes? My character were thirsty after 5 minutes of gameplay.

You can go days without food as long as you got water.

In this game days seems to be minutes. Fix it...survival should not be about eating and drinking every 30 minutes. A bit redicolous no?
