First off i would like to say the "idea" behind this game is fantastic, however, the execution behind it is quite pathetic (even for an alpha). The list of issues with this game could go on forever but i will start with server lag. Let's say you and some friends are running around town engaging in firefights, you run up on top of a building to get a better vantage point and BAM, dead, all because the server lags you off of the building. Or even better, you frantically try to pull out a weapon because you happened to run up on someone and guess what, not happening, you just stand there like an idiot while you get gunned down. So even on top of the appalling game mechanics you have to deal with lag, which makes a skillful firefight non-existent. Another huge aspect of this game that makes it so undesirable is the community. I understand if you are fully decked out and you are running around with your gun drawn that it should be fair game to shoot, however, while running through buildings looting or running through a town, chances are some "DAYZ Pro" is going to gun you down from inside of a house or behind a wall and then run up to your body yelling "get raped faggot." This would not be a problem if you didnt lose all of your gear and then HOPE you get a decent spawn which you will spend the next 20 minutes running to your body. It may seem that i am "raging" but this is a consensus that has been reached among many of the people i play with or have spoken to with about the game. If i were the dev team i would focus on making what they have more stable then rushing to push new content.
