I suppose it could work that way. Honestly tho, why would you want to play DayZ by yourself anyway? That gets rid of about 75% of the challenge, yes I think players are the biggest threat in this game.

After over a year break from DayZ, this game is coming along really good and I haven't been able to stop playing it. The infected are finally a threat, guns aren't strewn about everywhere and you aren't geared to the nuts within the first 30 mins. DayZ is going to be amazing once it gets out of Alpha. Now with that said it still has it's faults but they are slowly getting worked on. The audio is still a little out of whack. The infected are still making screaming sounds after you kill them and it's still hard to pinpoint the direction where they are coming from. Some towns and cities have horrible frame rate drops but again, most of this will be ironed out soon. The devs have been doing a great job with the building of the new game engine so keep it up and can't wait until this is out of Alpha.

Oh come on. Titles don't always reflect the negativity of the topic, jeez.

I don't see how there could be a single player mode when the game is server dependent. I guess you could rent your own and put the bare minimum number of players allowed and password it but do you really want to pay monthly for a single player game?

I cannot think of any game that has scale of DayZ and allows you to enter almost every building in the game. GTA 5, big game, lots of buildings which look nice but outside of the buildings looking nice, you cannot enter any of them except for a handful of safe houses and shops. If Bohemia were to make DayZ graphically comparable to some of the top AAA games, we would not even be able to run it.

Me me me!!! I've been killed a few times mainly due to screwing around and testing how much attention is drawn when firing a weapon. I'm really starting to love the feel of the game. It's bringing me back to the mod days of having to sneak around the infected and hope like hell you don't draw any attention.

I hope the taming of wild animals doesn't get implemented. This isn't Grizzly Adams

Hey everyone. How do you use the in game map? I've put it on my hotbar, tried equipping it and even pressed the old map button "m". Cheers.

Thanks!!

Even if they were to remove the gamma and brightness sliders from the game people will always look for a work around/exploit to it.

I think people get mislead by the term "zombie" that gets thrown around these forums and not realize that they are infected people, not dead people. People seem to want to treat them like it's the walking dead and be able to carve a path through mobs of them. Not to mention some players don't even realize that there is more to DayZ than just running to a military base to get geared up for pvp.

Congratulations, you beat the alpha aka "Unfinished game"

Instead of when a gun is in your hand it switches to 1pp but it switches only for aiming down sights and removing the crosshair while in 3pp. And to be honest, while I prefer 1pp melee is very bad. Heck, I can't really think of any game that has done a good 1pp melee.

Here's my take on why a skill system does not work. The moment you add skills and even a points system to those skills the game turns from being a game into a skill grind which then will end up getting turned into a cookie cutter of "these are the only skills you need and everything else becomes worthless" on top of the balancing issues around skills. Not to mention recruitment methods for clans would turn into you a "you need x,y,z skills in order to apply" and peoplewill just become more frustrated. I prefer the simple method of trying to figure out what tools and materials I need to create something instead of having to pick at rocks all day in order to create the best stone knife in the game after 30 hours of grinding.

Considering most of the features that are suppose to make DayZ a difficult game are still missing or a work in progress, yes the game is pretty easy so far. There is no struggle to find food, weather hardly plays any effect and diseases still seem to be non existent. One of the biggest issues I see plaguing this game is the pvp-centric crowd coming in thinking this is just a straight up frag fest with survival in the background. Hopefully it will be the other way around where survival is the forefront and pvp is secondary.

Could you please make a list of 1pp servers that actually have players on them because I hate being forced to play 3pp due to population.

You realize you can't have the run n' gun aspect of DayZ without the Crusoe part? It's not going to be about the first person who can get military loot and reign supreme on the leaderboards.

So needing an m4 and a buttload of ammo is all that's needed for survival? That's kind of what I'm getting out of this thread. I don't care how decked out anyone's character is, starvation, diseases and the elements should be a concern still.

Well to even state that this game is too easy in this alpha stage is quite silly.

Right now that would be a terrible idea. DayZ is still in early Alpha.

The suspense and the uncertainty of any outcome is what makes pvp fun for me.

Now now, don't rain on the guys parade. I guarantee this will be a mod at some point

I would like to see seasons happen for Chernarus but I don't know how feasible this would be

I fully support this idea. I find it completely lame being able to run around with your bag open so you can spot stuff you can't see, or just want the ease of finding stuff instead of having to actually look. I don't think we need a rummaging animation but I think the hot bar should exist through pockets only aka pants, jackets, shirts etc. The things you can actually access quickly
