Okay, for this 0.63 version i've got a few things to say, it's getting there, big improvements, lots of things are better but there are a few things that make this game really frustrating in my opinion. Some of these problems could be only related to the fact that we're playing on stress test servers with only a few things implemented, but still :

- Loot : The loot is a problem, it's almost unexistant on the coast, might be because of the stress test servers, i don't know, the only way to find loot is to make it in a zone no one goes to or north/north-west, if this game is going to be popular again we need more consistent loot, the big amount needed for this game could be balanced by the wide variety of loot you can get in this game(you might find ammo or a gun but it won't pair up), finding 2 cans of food and 20 pieces of clothes in a city that took me 30min to get to is just a big nono for me.

- Stamina bar : Okay, this game is known as "running simulator" the map is huge and there's scarcely any vehicles available, we need vehicles and we need them to spawn if we're going to have a stamina bar, we can barely get from a city to another without loot and without dying from starvation, especially when we spawn on the coast and we want to head straight north-west. I can understand the people liking the time required to go to a place to another and the amount of time it takes to get good gear, but this is just too much for most of us, with a stamina bar added and no other alternative, most people won't enjoy the game i think... it's either more loot/vehicles and maybe a bigger stamina bar for me or none at all.

- New survival mechanics : I really like those actually, the way zombies work with these new mechanics makes them an actual threat, we now have to kill them or hide inside buildings to keep them away instead of just avoiding them or running away which is realistic, the running speed is a bit too punishing in my opinion, the normal running speed is also too low compared to the sprinting speed.

- Old bugs/glitches : i played this week end and died 2 times from stupid glitches/lags one time in the tower on top of novo, i couldn't climb down the ladder from the top floor and was just flying on it and couldn't moove, then died, sometimes i took dmg because i was rerolling which was weird as well, the map needs some fixing, there are a lot of bugs which could lead to death and some buildings in novo are half in the ground and it makes no sense, i had some game crashs as well and had to wait 1H in queue to get back into a server because of it. Also where are the old settings ? where is gamma and microphone parameters ?? Those were so handy

- Spawns and server size : Spawning almost all the time on the coast or in the same rough area while having a map this big is just insane to me, makes the loot unbalanced af and is probably the #1 reason this game is called running simulator, just make a spawn on every city on the map, there are just so much that people won't be able to kill themselves over and over again to get back to their dead body

This game has always been on my mind, but haven't played it since a year, sure this is a big improvement but there are still a lot of improvements needed to make this game playable, likeable and competitive, back then it was a good game even though there was tons of bugs, insane fps drops which made the game unplayable but we still played it because it was good, nowadays the game is just too poor in content compared to what it was, sadly, gameplay wise the game was way better before... it deserves a lot more attention from the community but the devs need to get involved even more in the game, i hope this game is gonna evolve a lot more and quickly, don't make this the only update in a year, please, time is running out, a few more years and everyone will have forgotten dayz, if the game doesn't get the love it deserves.
