Hey all!!
So, I’ve been following development a little more recently. I wont lie, i have been playing all sorts of diff games, but I re-installed DayZ and gave it a go.
Im WAY out of the loop and am looking to rotate DayZ back into my games.
I’ve seen a few of you on, (thanks for the help setting up KittenSoft), and i wanted to see where everyone’s interest level is, in making a return to the fields of Chernarus??
HERO as an organization has been on hiatus with the recent patches.
There have been several people getting on and playing together though. I have been sitting by waiting for persistence to turn back on. DayZ is just “loot up and PvP” right now since we can’t collect gear long term and do our helpful missions and zombies are almost non-existent.
I have been re-doing parts of the website and will be looking to reboot and streamline the group soon, probably Beta release. We’re still around, just lurking.
I like that in the recent presentation, Brian Hicks said that their development release cycle went from “date based” to “feature based”. So they will hold onto a version until features are complete enough for stable.
We may get updates slower, but they should be more feature complete and the entire development cycle will speed up because it will be focused on features rather than getting a stable snapshot each month. We should also get a lot less game breaking updates like 0.57.
