Did it actually hit a major milestone for 1.0? Or I wonder if the devs just called it "good enough" finally.
I feel like this is more so just them trying to become relevant again. I havent heard of any significant updates to it in forever.
From what everyone else remembers this game has been updated a metric shitload.
A few months ago they did in fact release an experimental branch that was basically a complete overhaul of the entire game, as a preview of 1.0.
Last time I played there weren't even zombies
...which was like 3 years ago
As someone whose DayZ experience was to buy it and try to play it for a month 5 years ago, uh. I dunno. I ran around for ages before dying of thirst or being shot out of nowhere. It looked much nicer!
Prove this.
I'm not bein confrontational. I just want to be really angry that I put money into this scam all over again.
Yeh no problem, I just watched 10 minutes of sacriel sprinting around doing nothing.
It looks a lot better graphically though!
Yeah, the Xbox Early Access version is already out. They would've released it on PS4 too but as far as I know Sony doesn't allow paid early access games. So they'll release the full game when they can I guess which can be a only a few weeks or maybe months.
I feel the same. When the mod hit I played almost every day for a year with a clan of 20 people. It was probably the peak of online gaming for me
Raiding people's bases
Server hopping to get good loot
Abusing all the bugs to spawn top tier gear by duplicating items
Those were the days. PUBG/Fortnight is the new DayZ now. BR games took everything people loved about DayZ and condensed it into bite sized chunks
This is part of their problem. When it first came out years ago, everyone was hopping into it. I feel like now the game has fallen back into the same niche that Arma2/3 are in now. Great games for people who love the ultra realistic simulator, but the majority of the people want something thats simpler and easier to play back to back matches in.
This. They really missed the chance of making it into something big before battle royal stole DayZ's dinner. I mean PUBG is a straight up clone of DayZ when it comes to gameplay and visuals.
They just need to spread the word about DayZ again and how it's a slower paced, survival PUBG type of game... after all even ARK still attracts a huge audience nowadays despite being one of those "survival" games.
