bacon55 (DayZ)

Really should have been a hyphen in the name, lol. Dayz, pronounced "days", sounds like teenager vernacular. Day-Z. Problem solved.

Deal with it. Does this mod attract a disproportionate number of the socially challenged or is it just my imagination?

Honest question: Will beans and continuous ammo replenishment, killing unlimited zombies that respawn in minutes, and the occasional player, actually keep you here for months, years?

Everything here. We need something to do. Beans and endless zombies respawning into towns we can never reconquer doesn't do it for me. This would be like Domination continually attacking the same town, with the tanks and infantry endlessly respawning. Or Warfare with no ability to beat the other team. There has to be some real sense of accomplishment, and I don't think getting some guns and grabbing beans is a long term solution to that.

I just want a damn bicycle, lol. They should be pretty common.

A: They can't just make the map smaller, not unless you want to play on a different map. Sure they could try to make one, that would be a huge project. B: The size is fine, any smaller and we'll be dead too quickly. C: It's Alpha, give the game some time before we know how frequency of interaction is going to work out. More vehicles kicking around, some sort of missions, bases, could change all that.

I really think there needs to be some physical separation, like a hyphen, between Day and Z. Dayz seems like 13 year old internet speak unless you say Day - Z.

This discussion might be easier when we know how Arma 3 works. The map is massive. It could actually maintain 1000 people without it turning into a gong show. The question is can the engine support that? If not that utterly changes the dynamic, and pretty much guarantees then need to maintain community servers, or a switch to a new engine.
