If you bought DayZ a long time ago because of the hype and potential of the game, then you've most likely abandoned it like its developers seem to have. If you're still playing DayZ then I guess your in luck because they've actually decided to update the game, though it's still in alpha (surprise surprise). If you're a rational person, then you probably don't care for all these changes, but if you're an admirer of virtual nature, then you'll probably appreciate it, even if it still isn't optimized. DayZ pushed out update 0.62 to their experimental branch yesterday, and for the most part, fans are enjoying it.

Here's a rundown of the changes in update 0.62:

HINT: There are new trees! It's pretty much just about forestry. Sorry if you're not a tree hugger.
  • New tree models
  • Denser forests
  • New clutter (grass, small plants)
  • New surface textures - plains and such Improved wind behavior
  • New shader for the wind, affecting trees and grass
  • Tweaked and changed lighting for the world
  • Small improvements to satellite textures
  • Rain affected by wind and refinement of its behavior in general
  • Many reworked locations on Chernarus
  • Reworked ghillie (to be consistent with new tech)
  • Small bugfixes to some issues from 0.61
  • New ambient sounds
