WARNING! Before you buy DayZ, read these Developer Comments

As seen on the DayZ Steam Page:

“DayZ Early Access is your chance to experience DayZ as it evolves throughout its development process. Be aware that our Early Access offer is a representation of our core pillars, and the framework we have created around them. It is a work in progress and therefore contains a variety of bugs. We strongly advise you not to buy and play the game at this stage unless you clearly understand what Early Access means and are interested in participating in the ongoing development cycle.”

WARNING: THIS GAME IS EARLY ACCESS ALPHA. PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE IT UNLESS YOU WANT TO ACTIVELY SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT OF THE GAME AND ARE PREPARED TO HANDLE WITH SERIOUS ISSUES AND POSSIBLE INTERRUPTIONS OF GAME FUNCTIONING.

DayZ is currently in early alpha and we see a lot of work ahead of us in order to make it the true authentic multiplayer experience we want it to be. Current version is including only small subset of game mechanics and serves mostly as test bed with core technology that should serve as basis for future additions and improvements. Currently planned key future features are:

Playable vehicles
Wide variety of native animal life
Player created constructions in the environment
Extensive interactions with the environment and crafting options
Streamlined user actions and interface
Upgraded graphics and physics engine (including ragdoll, etc.)
Control and animations expanded and improved for fluidity
Support of user mods

We estimate that reaching Beta version with all key features present will take more than one year from current stage. All features and plans listed here are subject to change, we may add or remove features as seen fit during development process.

Thank god I didn't buy it. Now I can complain all I want.

**Ace22** · 12-22-13, 11:27 PM

well folks.. we are releasing a highly awaited title today. It's been in full time development for well over a year.. and we are charging $30 for it.

But.. Since we've put up this disclaimer.. I don't want any discussion around the fact that it's a let down, and based on what you are downloading today you can have beta expectations roughly another year down the road.

I've been on the edge about buying the standalone. But I think I'll wait til the full release.

I had the same feelings, then bought the game on a whim. I loved it, and played it a lot this weekend. I lost gear several times, but didn't let that ruin it for me. Totally worth it.

Good idea. I'm a pretty hardcore day z player and honestly only plan to visit the game once every so often. There is allot of issues that make the game boring right now. Give it a few months and it may be different but right now its pretty rough.

That's because you're ADD.. You can only venture off to other visual displays when they exist; right now, they don't.
