The game is designed to be broken at this point so we cant test it. I find it hard to believe that people still dont realize that its in ALPHA.
I also don't understand how a statement like "they are to slow" can be taken seriously by anybody. There is no "normal" time in developement, this is art so wait it out until you see the full picture.
I mean they are slow compared to other developers. By the time they they implement one thing, other developers implement three with the same quality. But I might be wrong about it due to the complexity of the game engine, so it's possible that they are actually working hard.
Oh I'm in no doubt that they are working hard, I just lost interest. I'm not bashing them for being slow cos hell, making games ain't easy.
yeah but it feels like they've made some real dumb choices as far as development goes, like they're only just really getting around to fixing the zombies and somewhat optimization when that should have been their priorities as opposed to clothing and weapons. not that both aren't equally important, but the game is hardly a zombie game anymore.

We had this a thousand times. You can't just put everyone on zombies or optimization as priority. Art guys do their thing, if they are quicker that simply means we get more clothing before optimization etc. and people who do the models can't work on those tasks aswell so they keep being useful by doing their job. Some tasks require more time than others and it shows quite well in the dayz alpha.
i'm not gonna go into the whole debate again, all i'm saying is that they could have and should have managed it better, and didn't.
You know this game is dead when the last post was a week ago.
Really wish I didn't drop 29 dollars on this lame game.
I feel like the game will pick up closer to release and once modders get a hold of it they'll be some magical things that will happen. We can have things like epoch and overpoch again. It'll get good but I don't think for a relatively long period of time (definitely much closer to full release).
It will also most likely pick up after the big stable patch next week, I've been waiting for that to start playing again as it fixes a lot of issues with desync and central economy. I played a lot of the last patch but there's only so much i can handle with the game the way it is.
Got a new graphics card who can run anything at max with no lag, then I jump in DayZ and I find out I had to DOWNGRADE the graphics to the most minimal settings to run it at more than 20 FPS
What the fuck did they do to the game? It runs even worse than before? It's been months since I played but now I feel like I shouldn't bother with it at all anymore.
Guys, I've managed to find 3 trucks, so add me to the friends list if you want to ride around
Okay nevermind, I just crashed one

They're feature fucking the game currently and trying to add all the mechanics and other core stuff in while optimization has taken kind of a back seat.

But where are all the zombies? The mod still had more.

That's why I play H1Z1. There are so many, you can easily build up a train of about 20. My friend and I built a base once that was really far away but surrounded by zombies. If we wanted to collect wood we'd have to take jobs as bait and woodcutter because there were always about 50 zombies around our base.
DayZ was just pitiful when it came to zombies, I ended up seeing more players than zombies most of the time.
It's been a while since I played the Standalone. Do I have still have to hit a zombie with a pitchfork for 9 days just to kill it? And is there still senseless lag by simply going near a city?
I just got 1.2 gb update, is it finally 0.57?

Anyone up to play some dayz?
Oh shit, I just found another truck
Can I have FPS higher than 5 with low graphics now?
If not, I won't bother
I dunno, I have a really weird problem with fps dropping suddenly. Like, it's working just fine then suddenly it drops to 2-5 frames per second and after 7-15 seconds works normally. It happens even when I'm in open areas like fields.
Is there something wrong with loot and zombies? I ran around one of the cities for over 45 minutes and didnt see a single zombie or any loot at all.

Turn off any game booster you might have like Razer Cortex. That game me the exact same problem you're having.

This has happened to me for a long time. It's game-breaking atm. I don't have gamebooster or anything like that posted above.
Tried it out today, still no zombies. Guess I'll keep waiting for this game to be as good as the mod...
Don't know what servers you guys are playing on, but I have been finding plenty of zombies in Cherno and Electro.
Jee, another update that breaks the game more than it fixes it. Not surprised.

Seems to be no loot on the coasts. I ran for like 2 hours without even a piece of clothing. I ran inland NW Airfield and such and found a quite of bit of loot. Seems a little broken right now IMO.
Eh. This patch is 100x times better then .55 will ever be. I geared up with khaki m65 jacket, hunting backpack, full smersh, scoped winchester, suppressed ak-74u with 2 mags and plenty of ammo. The loot is fucked again, but its nice to find stuff at least. Cherno aparments is THE place to loot, check the cars, humvees and the gate houses are the places to loot. Houses can spawn guns as well, but not too often. Just check everything really, but yeah cars and such are the best imo
