I purchased Dayz on Nov 6, 2014, all because of streamers like Gaz, John, and Sacriel. This is the most adreneline pumping game I've ever played and I'm 47. I cannot judge the game based upon the mod, I wish I would have known about Dayz sooner to be honest. Since purchasing the game, in my opinion, it's not progressed much. Anti-cheat seems to be working well, but why introduce the broomstick, the ice pick, dresses? Yes, I know..... it's alpha, but these items are usless in the game. Why spend countless hours developing the art & antimations with these things instead of bringing in the SVD or the UMP-45? It is getting very tiresome looking for players on full 50 player servers. I will not gear up for hours and go to electro to die to 4 bambi's chasing me with broomsticks and ice picks. Random spawns would greatly improve player interaction. Respawning zombies are also annoying, the art of stealth is gone if you kill one. Seems like the prison is also taking away from the game too. I've still never been, but the guys I play with go in, come out fully geared.... not bad for 15 mins of time in the game... ridiculious. Our group consists of 4 to 7 players, on every night. We've only found a couple of servers where the action is somewhere besides the coast.
