For those of you who have yet to see it, enjoy.

Feel free to discuss your thoughts below, I personally think these new implementations are going to bring DayZ gameplay to be more of a survivor role playing environment versus the kill or be killed mentality that currently exists in the game as we know it now. The item degrading system seems to punish those who kill on sight, but I guess we'll see what happens when the game gets released.

Is it worth keeping up to date with these things? lol Game will be changed so much by the time we actually get to touch it.

Why not keep up with them? It is the DayZ discussion section lol.

Watching it. Better not be disappointing

But I never said it wasn't

Touche.

So here's my rundown.
1. Optimization looks great
2. Map looks great
3. Inventory fixed up (No longer Alpha build functionality)
4. Attachments/Magazine Reload/Movement Animations all good
5. Killed PVP. Absolutely killed it.

Thing is, at least we are seeing some real progression. They may be taking their time but shit is being done and the game is getting better. May have butchered the original concept of DayZ but with the amount of realism/detail being put into the Standalone. I think it'll offer for a different yet similarly pleasant gaming experience. Sounds like a lot more technical gameplay and more of a focus on Stealth over Point and Shoot.

Also looks like a game I would subtlety hack instead of going all out on. Just get myself along instead of ruining the experience. Although if they enable us the power to do so, it'll happen. Their fault for not focusing enough on hacks.

The adding of ballistic vests, ability to restrain people; completely changes the way Standalone PVP combat will be, compared to the way DayZ PVP combat is. Great addition and I know I'll be aiming for the head!

^^ yep me too. However, I must admit I'm getting really pissed of with having to wait so farking looooooong to the game to come out. By the time they get their shit together it will probably be Christmas 2015!!!! Just extract you digit and ge on with it
