DayZ Standalone - Will you be buying?

[Energy]

Hope they change the inventory menu. I don't understand it.

 

The inventory menu is amazing. I like how it's a more of a risk to go into your inventory, unlike other games *cough*Warz*cough* where you just walk around the items holding 'E'.

Of course I'll buy it.

Better not flop as hard as WarZ, but i guess it takes a lot of effort to do that. Looks good and i hope they change some controls around

 

WarZ is copied from DayZ

Yep

I hope they add little miscellaneous items you can use for weapons... kitchen knives,hockey sticks, etc... make it feel like you are really scavenging anything you can find to survive.

If it is any good, I lost all hope with the mod as it was so shit

 

But obviously this is a standalone game, so it should be good.

The mod is amazing, the only thing that I disliked was the overrun of hackers. The standalone will not only make the mod 100x better but will also remove all the script kiddies (95% of the hackers).

Yeah man, the new server base so everything is called by the server is such a nice idea, hopefully it gets implemented correctly so there isn't any lagg!

Virtually everything that existed in ArmA2 is being reworked. A quick summary of what is being done right now:

 

New Skeleton and animations. Completely done again from scratch. The previous rig was a decade old. All these animations are to be motion captured from scratch again. This is a long term project, but the first results will be seen with zombies relatively soon. This is a big deal. Any animators out there will no just how much of a change this will make.

 

New Zombie AI. As noted this is being worked on at the moment. First step has been getting zombies to run inside, which looks great

 

Entirely new weapons. Every weapon and item in standalone is being redone. The new AK is the first weapon and it looks amazing. It also features a number of attachments.

 

Nothing is just copied over from the mod. I can't think of a single asset that has not been reworked and redeveloped so far, everything is being made better, more optimized, or something like that.

Hopefully we will have a server up on launch so we can get some bases and shit build on our own server instead of using others.
