not Hotdeal worthy
Anyone that's played this have any input. I'm on the fence.
$30 for an Alpha? This is almost worse than Kickstarter.

Stiil looks like a lowly mod. Meh.
It is still in Alpha, so a lot of the game is going to be unfinished. Even if it turns out to suck in the end, it will probably be a better purchase than me buying BF4 + Premium before that game released.
I will contest that as I have had nothing but fun times with BF4.
Just bought it and played for roughly 3 and a half hours with some friends. After like a year and a half of playing the Arma 2 DayZ it literally feels exactly the same. In some ways the game feels sort of downgraded obviously because it's in alpha. Like I'm not sure how to check health or hunger or whatever, also items seem to be very very very limited. Definitely not as abundant as before. It's currently all night servers which are very annoying because me and my friends wanted to play in a day time server. It's still very hard to find your friends since sometimes you spawn half across the map and there are no signs for miles. Picking up items seem sort of bugged too, just very finicky. Game is still terribly un-optimized since I lowered all my settings yet the game still dips into the 20's then goes back up to the 100's then down to 40, it's ridiculous.
All in all, was it worth it not really to be honest. I was going to get it anyways, but I am still disappointed that not much has been changed at all. I know it's in alpha so there is no blaming anything, but still I mean it has been such a long time already yet not much has been accomplished. But yeah it's alright I suppose. I'd wait a bit until they roll out some more updates and fixes, definitely not worth 30 bucks if you're on the border. But if you don't mind the glitches and bugs then by all means it's definitely still a playable game. Go ahead and buy it and have fun, cause even I still had fun in the old Arma 2 DayZ days.

This is not a hot deal, nor is it worthy of posting in the deals section. This belongs in the gaming sub forum.
Thank you mr moderator over here.
Obviously people here have not been following the development of the game at all. To say that nothing has been accomplished is silly because Rocket has consistantly posted about the work being done on the game for the last year and a half. Most of the buildings are enterable now, they rebuilt all the character models/skeletons/animation system, and built a new zombie AI system from scratch. For 18 months of development that's no small task. The game isn't finished it's in alpha. This is just a chance for people who are really excited to get in at a low price point and play the game early (yes you get the full game if you buy alpha now).
That should give you a small taste of how different the mechanics of the standalone game are from the mod.
So is this the DayZ on Arma3 engine? Will Arma2 DayZ get discontinued?
So excluding;
More buildings
More buildings to enter
More buildings in the same cities
Better inventory management
Is that all?
Better zombies- They can enter buildings now, they look more realistic, and they chase you much better.
Guns - your able to add/remove parts to customize your weapon. Attachments, suppressors, holographic sights, bayonets, ext.
Items - Many more items ( wearable clothing, body armor/helmets, ext.)
More realistic movement
New locations - i found a beached barge on the NW coast that was full of loot.
Probably more but that's what I can think of off the top of my head.
I can see how customizing one's weapon may be a huge draw for a lot of people. Thanks for the run down man

I think when "AI now allows for entities to enter buildings" is a feature, you know the game is going down.
What about the zombies movement/animations ? I hated how fast and unreal they ran in DayZ mod, very twitchy too
Are they more similar to L4D zombies in movement ?
