[Poppy Farmer]

why didnt the developers spend their time with creating a proper second map instead of all this nonsense?

Sumrak has been working on a completely updated version for the standalone. As the lead map designer for DayZ, he's been working on it in his spare time.

whats the appropriate reaction to this information, crying or laughing?

Neither. Making a quality map for DayZ or Arma is both massively time consuming and technically difficult. It's his own private project and will be released as a community mod.

thats very nice and honorable and all, and lets put aside the fact that the map will be a remake that will heavly draw on existing objects/statics or rushed up verions of those, its not a new map and its not an official one, hence the OP "New Official Map for DayZ".

I think the right thing would be to make an official new map, entirely from scratch with all new setting and stuff. (that would also give community mappers something else to build on than the gazzilionst chernarus variation or iteration of OFP/A1/A2 maps and objects )

i say all this in respect to the fact that they sold serval million copys of dayz sa...

OP, you obviously are just looking to troll or are just extremely ignorant. Why in the hell would they stop working on DayZ to do everything all over in a new map just to appease you?? The game is not finished. All the important assets are in implimented yet
