Devblog update: Where is the Standalone?

Recommended Posts

Simply love it!

Though can you maybe drop a few lines on animations especially in regard to Zombies?

Are/will their anmiations receive some motion-capture time?

Oh and if you could also just briefly adress hacking/duping?

Thank you so much for your hard work and all those sleepless nights spent on improving DayZ mod/SA.

We're starting by rewarding the forum moderators, reddit moderators, dayz mod development and community support team, etc...

First monday after the holidays, bam... dayz news all over the place. Great start of the new year I'd say.

Also the 500-1000 closed test is IMO the best way to do this. Even if that means most people will have to wait.

The other debacle of some similar game which shall not be named, is still fresh in my memory.

I can still remember the forums begging to pre-order so they can play, instead of proper closed testing first.

Rewarding community involvement is also a plus. Too bad I was playing the mod, instead of being here more hehe :D

Q: How do we get to be one of the testers?

A: Those who are testing will get the game for free, and never have to pay for future versions. Their job will be tough. We're starting by rewarding the forum moderators, reddit moderators, dayz mod development and community support team, etc...

Oh .. I just saw this .... so no hope for for me ... I don't belong to any of the groups mentioned above, unfortunately but I would/will pay for the game ... don't need it to get for free.

Alot of people around here are very happy to be told they may not get to play stand alone for another year lol :)

"We are still working towards a target for an initial foundation before the end of the year. But we will slip this date if needed"

Rocket is saying it is possible it will not be out this year I think we are looking at least 9/10 month wait ...... if lucky.

Not complaining but certianly not cheering about it.

I do have a question....Will we have to worry about Microtransactions in the SA...

No.

If by part of DayZ you mean, part of the list of things that would make me eviscerate myself and jump out a window, then yes. But if you mean an actual feature. No, quite the opposite. I am strongly opposed. However, curiously enough, there seems to be a large number of people who not only don't seem to mind marketplaces but actively defend them.

That quote is from last year.

That quote is from September last year.

Indeed, as it was posted today I thought it was a comment from this year, my bad.

I certainly wouldn't like (Understatement) a Marketplace in DayZ. I believe there was another Game that gave that option, didn't turn out too well for the Development Team, or the Game itself. There are Servers which 'allow' you to buy in-game Items, using various things like Zombies dropping Cash (Much like Chernarus / Takistan Life) which is then linked to your GUID, where you can log-in on the Servers Website allowing you to buy things like Ammo, Backpacks, Food and so on. -Don't take my word for it! I've only played on it once, 4-5 Months ago. It may very well be shut down by now, but I am sure in StandAlone someone'll mod in the same thing, or at least something very similar-

Love the new Pictures , i still think the Standalone will reward our waiting with an even greater Dayz experience then we expect.

Great how the things evolved.

It's looks like some industrial area, maybe quarry? Or I am wrong?
