Lol. It's not bad, it's a good game (mod!) Actually the great game is Arma. That's where the devs really put the hard work. In fact, there have been other ArmaII zombie mods (some even 'better'), the main reason this one is so popular is because you can save your 'character's' progress from server to server. What's going on under the hood, loot spawn chances, the zombie scripting, player spawns, that's all similar to scripts in other mods, if not mostly the same. I like hardcore survival games, played Stalker SoC with Lurk 1.1 to death. THAT is an awesome experience in video games. Um. Lol, the last time I checked PC mods were still free. Omg. It's not like Arma CO is 30$ or anything...

Well, true the atmosphere is fun. However, I've been to the edges of the map (southwest, west, north) and in those remote areas there's really nobody there. Except zombies, which spawn next to buildings when you're near them. Also, there is almost no point to searching some points of the map, because there simply isn't good loot there. And talking about exploits, using different servers etc... how intense pvp encounters are... -You don't need the ingame map, just googlesearch dayz map. -On the latest version, sometimes the timeofday for each player doens't match. For example, on the same server your 'nighttime' might be another player's noon on the SAME server. -Disconnecting is more common than people think, you won't go days with one character barely surviving just to die because because a zombie clips through the wall when you just ran out of ammo (but have bandages left) -REAL pvp encounters involve the other player never seeing you. You have the M24, view distance turned way up, stuff like that, they never, sadly, have a chance. On youtube there are vids of sniper shots at 700-800 meters out by the airfield. It's "intense", but the dead player never hears the shot, never knew you were even watching. -The nighttime environment is... superficial. If you turn your brightness, gamma all the way up, you can actually see fairly well. Even on the darkest night. Not to mention many servers are daylight 24/7. Close range encounters are fun when they happen as long as the other person is unarmed, and it's near the beach. If they have any decent gear they'll probably kill you on sight, or even if they don't, they'll probably try to anyway. And if it's at the airfield, they're definitely hostile. And if they have a team on teamspeak, overwatch etc, you're as good as dead. -> *sigh* best to just log out.

Just wanted to say, getting a bit bored with Dayz. Started out playing it, little over a week ago, first didn't know where to go, what to do etc... was lost. Then came the patch where there was no food or water almost anywhere, then it was fixed. Now it just seems like the mod is too repetitive or boring. With a new character after about an hour, maybe not even that long, I already have an Enfield with 5 mags, 1911 with 5 mags, 6 cooked meats, 3 4 drinks, knife, compass, map, binocs, watch, hatchet, more bandages than I can carry (they're everywhere...) I mean I can understand if you can't find a gun you might think the game is repetitive, too hard, boring.... But if you know where to look (supermarkt, apts) you have more ammo, supplies than you know what to do with. And what to do? The zombies are no threat, you can kill 20, 30, still have ammo left over... traversing the map is fun but... you can do that in the editor. Killing other players is a little fun but, chances are your stuff is better than theirs and you don't have room for it anyway. Pvp is fun at 300m with the Enfield but... real coop is more fun that banditing... So, if the game is really actually about survival, go kill some goats, go to a forest, make camp, cook meat, find a barn with some drinks... and that's it. Rinse repeat. You could survive forever that way basically. Am I missing something??? Not to mention... most of the essential loot is in only a few places anyway. Search Electro supermarkt, church, firehouse, that's most your gear. Or if you spawn near Brezino (northeast spawn city i think) just loot all the apts and supermarkt, and that's everything. Or better yet, loot it, switch to another server, loot it again till you find what you need. Or again and again, or whatever. Then what? Sure you could go ruin some noob's day who has no idea what they're doing on the beach, but I'm not that kind of person, they don't have gear, and it's kinda mean. See what I'm getting at???
