Well I’m not gonna have an opinion about it, so people don’t get all paranoid or siding with the opposite of my opinion about it which then is like some counter reverse psychology or something. So anyways,

As the most comprehensive release in Just Survive’s history, this update represents our new direction for what’s to come in the many months ahead and we’re thrilled to finally show you what we’ve been working on. Before we discuss all of the new features, there are a few things to point out about this update:
Our new map, Badwater Canyon, represents a more focused approach to design and overall layout. The entire map was built meter by meter with multiple styles of gameplay in mind. Because of this new crafted approach, we are spending extra time on every single part of the map and we’ll be rolling out the first region at this time (Pine Mill Reservoir) which focuses on a drained reservoir and a devastated hydroelectric dam. Pine Mill is rather remote, given that it’s located in a National Forest, so expect to see POIs such as Ranger Stations and Campgrounds. The goal is to have each portion of the map feel significantly unique, so you can expect urban density and a variety of brand new POIs moving forward. This initial release allows us to get things in your hands sooner and allows you to provide feedback now while we continue development. Given this, population caps have been taken into consideration per server and will change based on what we see in initial testing.
In addition to all of the new features, we’ve fixed many recent (and legacy!) bugs in this update. Snaking is gone. Droning is gone. Melee weapons now render in first person. We’ve improved how the bow works. Overall performance has been improved, too. In other words, this truly is a comprehensive update.
This is still very much a game in development - your feedback matters and absolutely influences the end result. We’ve said it before and it bears repeating that we welcome ALL feedback. Debate is healthy. Critical feedback is healthy. I do hope you keep it up…we read every single thing posted here.
So yea, criticize it, be skeptical, I don’t care, but if it turns out great, then its fans win. What are DayZ devs doing these days?
