What is the FUTURE of DAYZ? - INTERVIEW with THE DEVS!

I interviewed the DayZ Development team Through Scotty ( Marketing and brand manager of the DayZ DEV team ) about the future of DayZ and DayZ 2!

This video was created using content of Bohemia Interactive.

Make sure to watch until the end! There is some juicy after-interview info!

The DayZ devs are under-appreciated and punch way above their weight with the resources they have on such an old game. Love your work guys, keep it up. Looking forward to some bug fixes and stability, there's plenty of new content to sink our teeth into and become more accustomed to in the meantime!

Such a relief hearing the focus is on the survival aspect and interactions instead of PVP.

[ZachMorris]

I am one of those new players that's found DayZ in the last year. I'm hooked, its my new favorite game. I like the style, the vibe, and intricacy of DayZ. A lot of other survival games are kind of cartoony, ridiculous and seems to want to attract Fortnite type of audience. The finality of the game where anybody can die by anybody's hand is great and keeps from a few select players just dominating all the time. Also I think focusing on just the two main maps is a good idea, especially when there are so many new players finding about DayZ.

[DevilPanda]

I was so ready to shitpost about DayZ's current stability, but the ADS bug being mentioned is such a relief that they are listening to the community.

Really really cool that it was a in game interview!

[Faded_Muffinz]

Dayz is the best game ever. Love every aspect of the game. So grateful to have a game like this. Ive made friends internationally that i talk to every day we are like brothers from different continents

[Mavererick]

Cool idea to do the interview in-game. Also cool to see developers so open about their work.

[garethsheffield]

Dayz 2 on the new engine will be awesome

[kushthedemon]

As a console DayZ player I like the fact they acknowledge that we are very neglected we get the worse version of DayZ but we still make the best of it cause at the end of the day this is an amazing game!!!!

[SeekerFN]

Love this game man! When I’m not playing I’m watching! 31:38 can’t wait for the zippos lol😂

[Biza-Je]

Great questions Tope, there are plenty of ideas that would be cool to see in-game but I believe they don't' have that much resources (people) to work on it. For example adding a horde of zombies walking through the cities or open fields reacting to shots (dynamically spawning like other features already in game). Dead player converting to zombie after some time, it will change the pvp significantly since everyone is camping corpses.

[cooller]

he would be a decent politician :D "we know about it, we hear you, we totally agree.... but we can't do it" :D

[mattbrighton]

Interesting stuff, look forward to the next 12 months and see how DayZ continues to develop!

[MrCedimaan]

Very nice video and its good knowing that the dev team is expanding and listening to the community and try to implement our suggestions. I would have liked if you had responded to some of his answers with a follow up question since some of the answers he gave were a bit vague but nether the less a good video.

[jaydowillis]

Next interview should be during a firefight 😂😭 it’d be crazy seeing tope hit a snipe then continue on his question

[illidur]

The map doesn't work with the Bus? What does that mean? I wouldn't expect a big bus to be driving everywhere.
Dragging a body would be amazing especially if you could put them in a car.

[beslyhazelnut]

Thanks for this great interview! Asking questions is not only hoping for information, but it also shows the importance and love of this "project" DayZ on the part of @TopeRec and the community.
Good stuff bro ❤️

Regarding Player Statistics, such as “Days Survived”, how about this? You need to find a Notebook and have that on your character. If you do, it updates the statistics for that character regularly. Maybe there could be a more general Statistics page on the main menu too which updates for all characters, but when you’re in-game, that would be cool to keep it within the lore

[ndTooth]

Awesome vid, was cool the way you guys set it up. Not gonna lie as a console player that was a gut punch hearing no more maps. I'd buy a new map for $20 easy for as much as I play this game. They already said they had zero plans for adding a bunker to Chernarus so I'm curious what he meant when he said they have lots of plans for the already existing maps.
