Game QOL

When will DayZ do a full transition from RV to Enfusion? Or is it just abandoned, and we'll never see any meaningful changes other than clothes or other borderline useless items. We love the copy and pasted upscaled house models that you've been using for the new maps that have existed for 15 years now. Looks like I just answered my own question. 

The picture is ARMA 2 these buildings have not changed even on the DLC maps other than a run through AI upscaler.

Never gonna happen. We'd get dayz before this. Maybe in about 10 years

we just need dayz 2 at this point the devs cant even edit the zombie ai without breaking it

they need to start fresh but honestly seems like they dont have the skill to make dayz2 or to do anything but add useless junk like a noisy fox or cutesy shit,

i mean how fucking underwhelming was that sakhal bunker? or the copy pasted arma map, or cluttered up and repainted houses that are still 10 year old models.. id hate to see them actually start over and make a new map from scratch if they think stuff like the sakhal bunker was a cool end game activity for players. 

 

i think the current BI employees assigned to dayz have no idea what the game is, was or will be about and have just sort have inherited a mess. its an online pvp game but they focus on adding survival mechanics for noobs to chew on. as if anybody thought we needed a fishing mini game instead of boarding up windows, as if we asked for boats instead of bikes. punitive arbitrary changes to balance instead of literally anything improving

at this point i just have 0 hope, play as much dayz as you can now before they really ruin it imo

"DayZ was indeed the first game we built with parts of the Enfusion engine - specifically with earlier versions of the Enfusion renderer (the software that draws all the graphics), as well as the Enfusion animation system and the Enforce scripting language.

At the time of DayZ's launch out of Early Access, however, many things were still missing to make the engine package complete, particularly some of the tools necessary for building game worlds and creating game assets. That’s why DayZ remained a hybrid of old and new technology." This is after .61 with the new renderer coming in at .62 and coming out of alpha at .63 to 1.0 this about 6-7 years ago. This is the primary reason why the game is in the state that its in. Using an unfinished spaghetti code game engine thats a mixture of RV, RV4(Arma 3), and a very basebones buggy Enfusion render. Bohemia abandoned it before .62 100% and threw it RV4 to "save it" with mods, as this is the only reason why this game even has mod support, it literally copy and pasted Arma 3s code.  Every dev on the forums has not been active since this transition, as they've been moved to reforger. BI at this point is just milking the cash cow with garbage DLCs. They took the ability for my post to be seen and now they only post as hidden and had to make a new account, absolutely impressive guys, jeez.

I think they just dont have the manpower to make significant changes. Which is a shame because looking at player count breaking records all the time, dayz needs a little more attention and a few more staff. 

DayZ 2 wouldnt live up to the hype imo. It wouldnt have the soul that dayz has, and looking at reforger with the goofy character models somehow worse than dayz, we just need an engine upgrade but itll never happen.

doesnt help that all the dayz youtubers are toxically positive about the game because they want to make a living off its success

guys like wobo know they are nothing without the steady influx of noobs watching they're tutorials

100% The subreddit is literally an echo-chamber, you post anything out line you're banned. The mods remove anything even entire posts if it contains any comments downplaying the game. I agree with you on WOBO, his community is an echo chamber of hope, hes going over change logs as his job and yet doesn't care about the lack of anything meaningful? Or better yet when they said AI was getting fixed and said ehhh we're taking a vacation maybe next year, WOBO literally said they need it they deserve it? Deserve what? A vacation when you're barely putting out 3 "major" updates a year, what a joke. I'm thankful to the mod who approved my posts, you actually allowing discussions like this I consider a great thing.

DayZ's reddit is horrible, because of the mods. However in discussions people can freely express their opinions.

WOBO sometimes also comment on things done or not done or even not done properly (how many times he had to post videos about bugs... that were fixed only because it got attention from his channel), I would say he tries to keep the balance. He had hard time last year with private/family matters, but still managed to update his website and for example prepare another map tool viewer.

@DatManz don't be hostile or aggresive then you will not be auto moded ;]
