Laughingman has a private 24/7 daytime server up already, the rest of the servers are running on 24 hour day/night cycles that run 6 hours ahead of the actual time zone the server is set too. Which is stupid. As the private servers get going you will find a less hardcore community pop up that actually wants to play the game rather than scrounge so much.

The game is GREATLY improved from the mod, but still needs a ton of work. Of course, the game is in alpha, so you cant expect much more than for it to run.

The inventory system looks much better.. I've yet to purchase it but in watching some videos, it looks great. I loved DayZ but I'm struggling to let myself pay $30 for alpha.

Inventory system is FAR better, more like a classic drag and drop etc.. game responsiveness is 100x better, no more 45 second loading screens, your in in 5 seconds flat. No lag between when you fire and when bullets hit. better hit boxes, server side zombies and loot.

Really they have done a great job, but I noticed you can still do things like glitch through fire station walls with the outside ladder, zombies still pushing through walls in some spots etc

DayZ is available? I kind of burnt out on the mod.

AWESOME!


I am amazed they released it with a whisper. I read that 80k people purchased it within 12 hours and 200k purchased it up to this point.

I am going to start the download tonight!

Did they make it more user friendly like most FPS? I hope they put a jump mode in, too.

It is more user friendly, and yes you can now jump over objects,

Zombies are more zombielike and less crazed, and they are spawned on the server so they don't know where you are constantly etc. They really have made some big improvements, but they still have a long way to go.

I read something like they have made 10 million dollars in sales since release... for a freaking Alpha game.

Sweet Jebus.


10 million from downloads. No packaging, no shipping, etc.

Wow.
