I've been running around for an hour and I still haven't found a weapon or a zombie.

Hmmmmm

edit: It's awesome how fast you can join a server!

Melee hit detection is completely awful still. Doesn't matter though as zombies are mostly harmless.

Lots of the smaller villages and shit don't really have zombie spawns, but are pretty devoid of items as well. The old DayZ map still seems largely accurate in terms where you can go for actual items (ie, every small village is trash, book it for a bigger city).

Doesn't seem like vehicles are in the game yet, or if they are they are even more rare than before.

Inventory system is completely tedious still. Not sure if it's by design, but it takes ages to actually change held items/swap belt items/eat food, and often will just not do it.

Gun spawns seem to have been all but removed from any non-military locations, and a lot of the smaller military areas have been removed as well (tents in cherno/berezino, fire stations don't appear to be military). I've found pistols in schools of all places, but have yet to find any ammo. Food/water spawns feel about right, not swimming in it, but never really starving if you explore houses. Clothing is kind of neat so far, but quickly just turns in to another type of backpack you have to hunt for (find cargo pants and a parka as soon as you can for more slots etc).

Once you do make it to an airfield though guns are plentiful, as well as larger backups. Ammo is still a no-show though and I've passed by half a dozen m4s now with no way to fire any of them.

I will never understand how the corporate fucktards that run companies like EA dont see how a very open and mod friendly game is only a good thing after looking at DayZ.

I live a mile from the EA compound, and work out in the LA Fitness that used to be the old EA building #2...

takes a lot of willpower not to jump off of my elliptical and punch out the fucktards on their smoke breaks

though i suppose there's no justice in punishing the rank and file for the corporate debauchery that is EA

They weren't kidding when they said this is in alpha. The original mod was released in a far more playable state than this. It's cool to see just the changes to your character and zombie animations. Fixing just those and the inventory system and leaving everything else the same would make the original mod pretty much flawless. One thing I really don't like is all the emotes on the side that tell you when you're hungry, thirsty, tired, etc.. Having the visual indicators especially with visibility and noise was a lot better, and I think that's a pretty shitty change. Overall I think it'll actually end up being solid from seeing how it looks so far, but I don't think this will really be playable for a couple months.

If SA ends up being more like Epoch, I'll check it out. Modular basebuilding and RPG elements make Epoch so much better than regular Dayz.

Isn't the stand alone supposed to be moddable as well? I don't see why they wouldn't make an Epoch version of it if true.

The Epoch devs are focusing on an Arma3 version currently. I suppose it's possible down the line, but in the foreseeable future that won't be the case.

Runs like shit for me in my opinion.

I KNOW IT IS ALPHA.

The game runs ok but the controls aren't doing well. Do I have to spend 45 minutes cleaning them up or something? Are the defaults terrible?
