Metagaming is any strategy, action or method used in a game which transcends a prescribed ruleset, uses external factors to affect the game, or goes beyond the supposed limits or environment set by the game. Another definition refers to the game universe outside of the game itself. How do you transcend the rule set, when there is only the rule of survive? How are you going to use an external factor to break the supposed limits of the game? Me thinks that Metagaming is not the word that you wanted to use there. What is the goal of DayZ? To survive. When you have done that, for a week, or two, or three, What else is there to do? And Before you reply with the same old find players to interact with.

When? As Far as I know, Arma 3 has had the ability to add building in for the last 2 years through mods, As the modding community is able to work on the game and make it do what they want to. ^^^ I totally agree In the first hour of the game, I can get most of the gear to make a safe trip to NW and all the military bases. After that it is only a matter of finding what I want to kit out with. SKS with a PU scope? In every military base. Clothes? all over. For a first time player it could be a great experience, however, some one who has played it before, it is good for a day or two.

If all I wanted to do was get geared up, and then PVP, I could play H1Z1: King of the hill. I bought this game because of the mod. Where I had several thousand hours played. This was supposed to be the successor to that.In my eyes, and there for my opinion, The game has fallen very short.

I understand that there is the need to have player interaction, How ever My Idea of interaction is not getting an ax to the head as I am at a well. That is what the game is currently. This game is currently just a "loot then PVP" Restart. whether you are interacting with players, or not, it will get old.

So I have now had the game for 2 years, and so far, while there is new content, there is still nothing to do after you get fully kitted out. For example, I run around for a day or two and get food and water, Make a few looting trips to the NW airfield. That is fine and dandy. What else is there to do? I couldn't care less about playing the game for the PVP as I have Arma 3 for that (4500+ hours played). After 2 years, and 621 hours in the game, When does there get to be something for the PVE players to do? The game has great potential. How ever, I cannot enjoy a game that I cannot host a private server to do just PVE on. While I understand why the server files have yet to be released, Maybe the devs should focus on the game breaking things like Hit detection for the infected. As the game is melee based, that is a major issue. The ability to farm food is great. if you can live long enough to reap the rewards. Now let the flaming happen, as I know that it will happen..
