Hey Nerd, remember me? Wanted to come back and revisit what you said. Looks like I was right, and you were wrong. Livonia had nothing to do with the rise in players because guess what, its even higher now than what it was when you said that! As predicted, people came back and saw what the modding community has done to the game. Better yet, with DayZ Expansion mod coming out in the next few months the game is going to pick up huge traction and attention. The majority of the playerbase (already currently is by a giant proportion) will continue to play on the modded servers and the vanilla servers “will dry up”. : )

DayZ on xbox is the dumbest thing in the world. Zalic, you are a dumb ass and actually just topped the dumbest thing in the world. This game has been out for over 7 years. According the devs, DayZ is finished. You know, the game is passed 1.0 which is when it was declared done. As said by the incompetent devs anything being released is now is called "post-release support". So instead of upset at someone for complaining the game is buggy how about you be considerate of how you and millions were scammed and these bugs have been in the game for over 7 years.

Not quite, but good riddance to you, I hope time will tell and for see the game to return to what it was always made to be. Something I quickly noticed is how vocal you simmers are, which has generated a disproportionate view of what the game should be and the direction it should go in. Either or, the game is still far off in terms or bugs and is very far off from what it originally was which had millions of people watching and playing daily, if only these devs could think through and see whats in front of them and not listen to you dorks.

Haha, you’re funny. First, Livonia was a good move in the aspect that people are going to come back and see the games re-worked but only because of mods and the real fan base will make a return slowly but surely. Next, “generic crap shooter” I bet you never even played the mod, and if you did, was it just another GCS? The answer is no, DayZ is unique to any other game and with out these nerd mechanics it would still be unique to ANY other game. That doesn’t change, simulation or more like the mod, the game is still unique, but you don’t understand that. Finally, contributed to the “DayZ project” ? You mean slowly killed the game and made the majority of the fanbase leave , yeah okay buddy if thats what you call a contribution then whatever helps you sleep at night so be it. You’re wrong, and you know it, you just want the game to be something it shouldn’t have ever been- a dorky, nerdy, running simulator littered with more bugs than the mod.

It blows my mind that they veered away from what the mod was, thats what had millions of people playing, its what the true fans enjoyed, and its exactly what SA should have been; A remade version of the mod with significantly less bugs (such as leg breaking). Instead, we got a completely different game with significantly MORE bugs. Its f******* 6 years into this game and they still haven’t figured out how to make the inventory work, are you serious, its an utter joke. And when people got on SA and realized it was nothing like what we had been playing for a couple years, that fan base left and what was left was the hardcore simmers who have been advocating for all these ridiculous features. Such a shame and waste, luckily modders are figuring out what to do but there are still so many A-level basic ass bugs that still are not addressed. Whats hilarious, is that before mods this game had 2-3 thousand people playing. Now that the game is becoming more like how the mod was, there 16-18 thousand everyday. The reality is, they waited too long to let modders figure out the game and let the sim dorks dictate how the game should be played.

Oh look, a simulation dork who helped propagate this game into a running simulator. The sad reality, is that these “simmers” who advocate for DayZ to be so close to reality that half the time you’re watching a mechanic that barely works, didn’t even play the game when it was originally made. Sad sad sad, a game with a limitless potential ruined by a few small but vocal “fans” who just don’t even remember the real history behind DayZ and why it was popular.

OP, you are 100% correct with everything you said. These "hardcore" idiot fans have no idea why DayZ is even a thing and how it got popular. These simulation dorks ruined the game and have bullied the devs into making SA a running simulator that - before mods - only a few thousand but loyal people played. DayZ was meant to be played exactly how you described and if these dorks above me will take a trip down memory lane and think about the mod, the MASSIVE player base, and how the public viewed it, they'd understand that's what the game should have been. It was the number 1 streamed game for a long time. When they released SA, the game was literally nothing like the mod, which is what made DayZ even popular in the first place. People got on and saw that you had to get f****** blood test kit to see what type of blood you had before you could even use a transfusion and realized that the developers didn't even know the fan base which is what made DayZ DayZ.

Any servers start you with atleast a pistol? Preferably on Lavonia but either or will do. I come from a time when this game was actually fun and was a mod and not as much a running simulator. Let me know where the cool servers are.

This game became a joke, laugh all you want but its practically a camping simulator and you can run around for 2 hours and not even get a gun. That leaves you to hitting zombies with a knife while combatting in the clunkiest interface possible, a complete embarrassment. I played the real DayZ on arma 2 and the game was great. What ruined it was trying to make the game so "realistic" that every part enjoyable in the mod turned into inconvienace in the SA.

Hi, are there any servers that ATLEAST start you off with a pistol? Or even ones that you can do monthly donations for gear? please respond!
