The people at Raid Warning gave up their panel slot so Dean Hall and Matt Lightfoot could have an extra hour to show off the standalone and answer more questions from the DayZ community. Link has both audio and video versions available
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.
Unnnnnnhhhhhhhhhhh.......... <scuffling noises>
I wonder how well self policing will work on the standalone version of the game. I feel like if they're going to make more things server side, then they'd have more control over bouncing hackers. Dunno
This is looking better all the time.
Hmmm...interesting.
This is a game and an effort that I can really respect. :)
