vbawol Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 We all bought the game as we want to support the development of DayZ. I have played it for a few hours and must say it has real potential but is buggy. Rocket even states: WARNING: THIS GAME IS EARLY ACCESS ALPHA. PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE IT UNLESS YOU WANT TO ACTIVELY SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT OF THE GAME AND ARE PREPARED TO HANDLE WITH SERIOUS ISSUES AND POSSIBLE INTERRUPTIONS Axle and frartombabogy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axle Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 My beans need a can opener. This was about 2 hours of gameplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hummuluis Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 It's a bit rough around the edges, but it definitely has potential. I think with the alpha finally out, that has to be a major relief there at the office. Hopefully because of that and with the majority of people distracted now with the alpha, they can churn out some nice updates, smooth out some of the more annoying bugs, and push forward steadily. I didn't run into any real serious bugs beyond the unconscious one. I made zero progress over a 8 hour session because I kept randomly going unconscious. Must have been 10+ times, but still looked beyond those. Much fun to be had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radiix Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 It has very much potention and i like it already. What i dislike is that you start to get thirsty and hungry real quick, and there is like no loot in the houses :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruubje11 Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Yeah I am not sure how the loot works as well because at night I found loads of food/ water and now at day nothing in whole Balota / apartments. The Thirst/ Hungry messages are quite annoying to be honest. You spawn in, run 5 meters, "I am feeling hungry". Sigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poncho Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 I bought it, and I will be regularly Alpha testing DayZ SA when I get back, bug hunting, gameplay limitations e.t.c just doing my part in a game that has done so much for me, and of course lead to Epoch! But there is only so much work you can do. I look forward to kicking it on Epoch to chill out and have fun :) First step when I get back is build a new house! My server has been reset since I left so I'm thinking nice warm little shack out in the woods somewhere central south, there is a few nice places I have in mind where a small structure could go unnoticed, just got to make sure I find a place to stash my pickup somewhere nearby. I love the grit and adrenaline you get in DayZ but the more available gameplay options in Epoch keep me coming back for more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigh Looks like they already have a patch coming in that limits those messages, and adds a placeholder for the visual aids. Also seems to be some type of fix to help fend off the unconscious happening so quickly. So they are moving right along on smashing those main issues.

Nasdero Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 I tried to change my T-Shirt, after that my torso was transparent :D, so no breast, btw. I started as a male, after I was unconscious and died, I started as a female :D. They have to fix this unconscious and pass away bug as fast as possible.

JoSchaap Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 It's quite awesome and after reading these tips for new players: http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/1t23cw/dayz_tip_thread/ and this information about the hunger system to avoid the annoying tamagotchi spam: http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/1t4l5f/is_current_hungerthirst_model_just_misunderstood/ It's quite the pleasant/impressive game. Too bad i have a job and never get to play during daylight because of that. But i hope that changes soon enough :) (*edit i meanth serversettings for daylight lol not losing my job) Some screenshots of our first ventures into chernarusplus: taking a rest to get rid of the tamagotchi spam/nagging ;) Dat haircut!?

Nasdero Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 I guess it should like you say, but I am reading/writing in the official "DayZ Feedback Tracker" and there are many complains that the most server are only night time, maybe cause of a bug.

neiljb Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Is anyone else getting "wait for host" when trying to join a server? I have been trying for the last hour and I have not been able to join any server. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vbawol Posted December 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Reports are that its a Steam authentication issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poncho Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 "Temporary solution for server authentication issue has been implemented, you should be able to join DayZ servers again now.

Hooch Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 This is the part of the Steam Page that caught my eye the most... We estimate that reaching Beta version with all key features present will take more than one year from current stage. All features and plans listed here are subject to change, we may add or remove features as seen fit during development process. I purchased the game as to help with the costs of development but I doubt most read it will be 1 year before even a BETA is released, we waited how long already? I'll wait 6 months before attempting to play as the severe lack of content and now the words of "No Mods Allowed" has kinda put me off it. Fancy that. No mods for a game that would be nowhere without mods in the first place. Epoch is fantastic, I came from Origins which I loved but it was too boring in the end.....no unique servers due to no scripts or changes allowed. Back to The Dog Pound for me now!
