DayZ Standalone's creator Dean Hall discusses future plans about the title as well as the biggest issue plaguing the game right now, zombies.
DayZ Frostline DLC gets review-bombed for its price and content. Dev responds, saying "No one is forcing players to buy it."
Yes, I saw that! The DayZ Frostline DLC has indeed faced a lot of backlash from players who feel that the $26.99 price tag is too high for what's included. The DLC adds a new snow-covered map called Sakhal, but many players feel it doesn't offer enough new content to justify the cost.
Bohemia Interactive's CEO, Marek Spanel, responded to the criticism by pointing out that the studio has received very little revenue per hour of gameplay from the game over the years. He even referenced the Beatles song "Please Please Me" in his response, highlighting the frustration with the situation.
It's definitely a heated debate.
DayZ has now managed to hit its new all-time-high player numbers with the release of the new Frostline expansion.
DayZ hotfix 1.25 is finally out, but instead of fixing the oft-complained-about duping glitch, the issue still hasn't been addressed.
Bring this game to consoles already!!!
I hear so much about this but whenever I watch streams its just some guy running about doing absolutely nothing. I don't even think I've ever seem a zombie...
Dean Hall just needs to go now, hand the project over to experienced developers who can push this forward. It launched 18 months late and is way behind DayZ Epoch in features. He made a great mod but I doubt his ability to get a product like this to market as he obsesses over small things like being able to change individual pieces of clothing when issues like this and the inability to make camps still remain.
The zombies clipping through walls/ being in the floor is my biggest issue with this game. That and they are all track stars now. A zombie started chasing me yesterday from about 100 yard away (IDK how either) and it still caught up to me. That's some bs right there. Though that wouldn't even be an issue if their skulls were not made of steel. About 8-10 hits to the head from a crow bar is a bit much. Yet one body shot from any gun (IDK about the .22 haven't found one yet) will kill them.. So many things need to be worked on and some people think they could just bring it to consoles. People though BF was terrible, imagine if console players got a port of DayZ in it's current state. People would lose their minds.
