My thoughts on DayZ standalone currently.
It’s still fairly basic and so:
No vehicles yet
Not place to store items/loot yet
No hunting yet
There aren’t a lot of zombies at the moment and once they die they do not seem to respawn until a server restart
There’s a lot more attention to food and particularly water if you’re running a lot, which you will be
As loot (like Zeds) only spawns once, scavenging is a lot more important
The map has new features and building and most of the buildings are now enterable
New features like handcuffing people, needing certain items to open cans of food
Towerblocks are cool, as is the abandoned ship…
