Goodbye Legacy Branch 0.62!

[eugenharton 1540]

Dear Survivors,

during the last couple of days we have experienced an unexpected downtime of the Legacy servers. The fix would require to assign developers back to it and invest extra time to make it work. Instead, and because of our focus on 0.63, we have decided to cut the Legacy branch prematurely to make sure we can spend all of our time in this year on what really counts: The release of 1.0 (which was intended to be the original closing date of the Legacy branch).

So we will pull the plug on the running Legacy servers (overall peak of only 8 players per server during their up-time) and branch holding the client/server data.

I'll fondly remember the experiences I had with that version of the game, and while it was broken in so many ways, it's probably been the version that a lot of you experienced as their first entry to DayZ. Our goal to package the Arma 2 mod into a standalone version of the game outgrew itself with the creation of the engine and playing the long game will bear its fruit. So I'd like to say goodbye to what DayZ was and welcome what DayZ will become.

- Eugen

Really? I would expect you to have it until you reimplement at least all content and features 0.62 had. That's dissapointing. I miss a lot of these features, such as horticulture, bows, fishing. Weapon variety, you know.

Good, 0.63 needs all the help it can get.

[red w0lf 5]

GG. Lets hope it makes a difference towards 1.0.

[ChypressSweet 14]

sry but what is a legacy server?

[krazikilla 106]

Dont forget to put all the features and content from 0.62 in 0.63 uhm.. 1.0.    ;-)

 

[mrwolv 46]

To be honest the game atm in .63 is a broken mess  they just trying to push the game into 1.0 for money and console look at everything all the missing content that should be in!

i will prob get banned for saying this but its true all they care about atm is money the pc sales are dry and the only way to keep the cash coming is consoles and this is there own fault for taking so long.Yes i know games take a long time to make but if you add everything up it all points to money.

 

Today they killed our .62 !!!!!!

 

.63 has so much missing they need to add in all of the content from .62 to make the game feel like dayz again if modders can do it i dont see why they cannot i feel like they have given up on dayz standalone and dont care no more just broken patch after broken patch and no end to the sucess of the game if i was going to list all the items they said they would add and have not the list would go for a long time infact i am going to do it here its just being a downhill struggle since day 1this is only a few items the list would go on forever

I do not know if you do not read the status reports but all that will be added from ver 1.0, all those items are the least difficult to add thinking that the core of the game is really polished and as we all want, if they only wanted money , they had left the boat and it just was not like that, they were working silently on many things for the game and now you can see in the 0.63 view, many things broken but you only need adjustments and polish, it shows a lot the love that they put to the game the developers, it is their first game of this type, remember that they come from Arma that in nothing resembles what is now DayZ and personally, the game is better than ever in terms of focus, we only hope that they keep polishing things

Goodbye .62 I am gonna miss you. How I'll miss breaking legs and dying instantly falling off the smallest of structures. Alot of good memories were made and for that I am thankful.

our time in this year

Realistically what do we have left of this year? 3 weeks before everyone goes for their holiday and new year celebrations. Delivering a meaningful update from v0.63 to v1.00 in that time is going to require a crunch of epic proportions. I suspect that the v1.00 release will be a superficial milestone, and I am not sure if it will be worth spending that opportunity to bring a lot of people back to test the v1.00 release in it's current state. I think a lot of people will not be impressed by the fact that from a pure content perspective so much is missing compared to previous versions, despite the impressive work that has been done under the hood.

The king is dead .. there will be a delay before the coronation while we locate the king. Reports that the heir to the throne is in hiding are false.  Do not be alarmed by sounds of  fighting reported from the palace, this is the cleaning staff.  Meantime, here is some easy-listening music.  Stay tuned !

We had ups and downs, but we had fun i miss you .62
