I wouldn't buy it now or in the future, its bloody awful.

I hadn't touched it for over a year and re-installed it last night to see how big of a difference the updates had made, the answer is none. It's basically spawn, run, find nothing, get shot, die. Spawn, run, fall over a pebble, break both legs, die.
 
i think the sad thing is without just going over all the disapointment of what we all actually wanted the game to be it wont ever be as good as the mod.by the time it is something else will be out or it will be old hat.

tbh if you look what we did and how long ago it was in the mod.its already over.

there are better engines now and possibities and maps but no one can seem to pull off basically a walking dead style game with base building that works and 60 plus players and ZOMBIES !

id like someone to do it on avalanche 3.0 engine for just cause.maps are huge mp beta is just starting it looks great and in jc2 mp they managed to get upto 6000 people on a server.so it can be done and with huge numbers.just wish some one competent could bring it to life.
 
It's just a shame about how much of a cash grab this has been, I brought it right back when it released and 6 months ago zombies still had no collision with buildings so they'd just walk straight through walls and/or hit you without going into buildings. All that seems to be added is cosmetics and other useless items without actually fixing the big problems that needed doing, server hoping is rampant.

Was going to re-install also but this was my experience with the game to and if it hasn't changed I won't bother
 
Biggest letdown ever, even more than lack of HL2 EP3/HL3.

The mod was amazing, at the start. I mean once you got geared up a bit and could handle having your legs broken or taking damage from players/zombies. Even if you died it was fair enough (generally) because you'd usually done something stupid. Sometimes it was the game, and you'd have broken legs... but morphine was more readily available so ... someone could usually come and get to you.

I don't (didn't) care for base building. A tent was sufficient, hidden in a pile of stones/logs... that was ok.

Standalone has always been a steaming pile of ****. They've just added way more complexity than is needed to the survival aspect and stupid loot system. And removed all the fun out of it.

Could not agree more, standalone is/was a massive letdown it should have been so much more. The complexity of the survival system i don't think would have been to much of a problem if it just worked. instead of telling you that you are wet/warm/hungry/thirsty 3000 times per minute.

Breaking point got standalones original concept perfect where if you are hungry, your stomach rumbles, thirsty you begin panting. You only get prompted to the situation when it is so severe that you are dying from it.
 
Meh, I want to love the standalone, I really do, I usually get back into for a week or two every couple of months, But the reality is there are better games in genre now, and some Arma3 mods are more fun to play. If anyone likes this or wants a better Dayz esq game, then get Miscreated

I'm much the same - loved the original mod and I get tempted to try the SA again now & then, but every time I play it's just a totally frustrating experience; I might give Miscreated a try next time it's on sale...
 
Did they ever do anything about that squelching noise?
The disgusting eating noise which was also made worse by you being able to hear it several floors off from where you were.
That noise alone is what made me stop playing :(

Hahahahaha what was horrific, the combo of someone chewing with their mouth open and smacking lips at the same time. AFAIK its localised now but the same rubbish noise.

It's one of those things that makes me want to hurt things IRL, I hate noisy eaters. Even the thought.... *shudder*
I had posted this on dayz forums as a suggestion, but after a short while, it got moved to the dayz mod forums for some bizarre reason.

Ah well, guess I can wait another 5 years & see if things change ;)
