wheelspk 1 Posted August 17, 2012 what is Dayz Standalone?? sorry for the noobish question Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marhaus 1 Posted August 17, 2012 DayZ is getting its own stand alone game, that wont be a mod for Arma II. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HERBERT-THETREE 44 Posted August 17, 2012 Currently dayz is a mod for arma 2 AO. Dayz standalone will be a game all by itself, once it is released. So it wont require arma 2 AO to operate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wheelspk 1 Posted August 17, 2012 so what will happen to the arma we have bought???i got he arma for the mod :(have to buy dayZ again?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fraggle (DayZ) 15720 Posted August 17, 2012 Yes you will. Although you bought Arma to play Day Z it's actually a free mod that was only originally intended to be run on a couple of servers. When they release the standalone it will have much more content, be on a new engine and be a more complete experience. This is just the testing phase for that game.

X_296 1 Posted August 17, 2012 The thing is, your not buying DayZ "again". You would be buying it for the first time. You bought Arma 2 to play a free mod (as did I). That's our own problem. However, I think by the time DayZ is released as a standalone title, this mod alone will have more than justified the 30 dollars I spent on CO. And when DayZ is released, I will gladly pay more for the finished game. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Obsolescence 129 Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) Yes you will. Although you bought Arma to play Day Z it's actually a free mod that was only originally intended to be run on a couple of servers. When they release the standalone it will have much more content, be on a new engine and be a more complete experience. This is just the testing phase for that game.Pretty certain I just read an interveiw with Rocket at GamesCom where he said the standalone will be on Arma II engine a mix of the Arma II and III engine with unique extras to boot, and not Arma III like we had suspected.

InsaneBob 0 Posted August 17, 2012 i dont want to play arma 2, i just got it for dayZso now i got arma which i dont want and have to buy dayz again...what not to understand in it??Sorry, that you bought a great game just for a mod. Which, if I'm correct, has been stated it was going to be a standalone for months and not require Arma 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
afitz200 4 Posted August 18, 2012 Arma is a great game. U can still play the mod and im pretty sure many servers will be up when the stand alone game comes out.The standalone will be in alpha and wont cost much until fully released (So a discount cuz it is in beta in a way) The mod will probably be continued into beta then be a full mod so u might not need the standalone.

CarpeDiem 2 Posted August 18, 2012 so what will happen to the arma we have bought???i got he arma for the mod :(have to buy dayZ again??dont worry about it. Its following the minecraft build. When in alpha and beta the game will be cheap maybe 10-15 dollarsand will go to like 25-30 dollars once released as a fullt game. Dayz will also continue to be patched. Rocket now has a team and they are doing most of the work on the game so rocket can still update the mod dayz with new stuff and fix glitches and such.

wheelspk 1 Posted August 18, 2012 ok thanksso what engine will the dayZ be running on?? i mean arma2 looks good..innit.any release date?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamz 253 Posted August 18, 2012 I'd like to know if the stand alone is intended to be cross platform, if the experience gets diluted for consoles then I won't be interested in it and will want to stick with the mod. I don't care about the money, Dayz as it is now is something really special in gaming... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They want to see how well it sales on PC first, before they start on a console version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
