Im getting really tired of this shit. Oh lets add veggies and more useless melee weapons, meanwhile the game is still desloate with a minimum ammount of zombies that still port trough the fucking walls. I brake both my fucking legs from opening a door and every server crashes every half hour. Still no cars so you to walk everywhere for hours bored out of your fucking mind.
And they still get defended because aparently being "Alpha" is a free pass for continuously ignoring every pressing mayor issue the community points out in favor of adding more useless bullshit nobody wants. Why did they even bother making a standalone game when they didnt fix none of the glaring engine issues? Oh yea because Rocket is a money grubbing cockmunching whore.
On the other hand, Rust is developing very nicely. They've redone the game completely and are progressing really fast with new features and content (they do weekly content blogs/patches). I know it's not really the same game (much more sandbox though!), but it's worth checking out, if you haven't. Imo Rust is going to go further than DayZ, if you judge by what was developed in the past few months.
DayZ did put quite a few new items, guns and gear in, and a couple of new features, but in the end I would say Arma 3 DayZ like mods are just as good, considering they're free (given that you have Arma 3).
And DayZ will always be limited by the shitty arma(2) engine.
