Where did I say it's not going to improve? I'm honestly speaking to how, or why people got into this. Why people like it. Why people don't like it. And how social media can move a fuckton of games. ...units? And, yeah, between the lines..I'm sort of demonstrating how most people in internet forums jump to conclusions. That being; I hate this game, or I don't think it'll improve, without even asking for clarification.

From OP: I know there are a ton of fans/apologists of this mod; to which I say, it's a fucking sandbox, and I'm glad you're having fun, seriously I am..however I've noticed something odd, about this mod. And I'm sure some of the apologists will just rabidly replay with ALPHA MOTHERFUCKER!!!! LOL

And I'm sure some of the apologists will just rabidly replay with ALPHA MOTHERFUCKER!!!! But, I like stirring up shit, no, rather..stirring up some interesting conversation. I think DayZ is; A hairbrained idea, fueled by big youtubers, and livestreams, add valve being absolute fucking studs, and adjusting prices due to the surge of purchases.. A giant anomaly that just proves clout within the realm of "commentators" can sell a buggy, shitty game (ArmA 2), to play a mod out of pure human curiosity. I know what the hell alpha means. I know bugs are a fact of life. But this mod is exceptionally shitty, when it comes to that. That's not really a slam. Because a lot of people just don't care. The statistics show about a rolling 10% of the people who have this mod play on a daily basis. I say rolling, because I'm sure that same set of people aren't logging in every day. Does that speak to the quality of the game/mod/experiment? There are a lot of posts, and opinions out there, exclaiming how this isn't very fun. Most likely because they don't have anyone to play with..Or maybe it's because there's some kind of kill or be killed mentality out there. And to the contrary, there are people out there streaming this game. Totally addicted. People here, in these forums..quick to the draw to defend the mod, because their personal experience was favorable. Ultimately.. In my most humble opinion. For fucks sake. Either SeaNanners, is the quintessential pied piper..And should honestly look into selling his likeness to a marketing firm... Or people just fuckin' love sniper rifles. And/or being a complete douche.

Gameplay itself isn't even fleshed out

HACK THE PLANET

DEH GAEM IS ALFA! NUN OF DOSE PROBLEMZ HAPEN TO ME! YUO R JUST CRAP @ PRAYIN GAME GG CRAPFACE

This is one reason why cross server persistence isn't a good idea.

brb, gonna go to the thunderdome.

GAMES ARE SERIOUS BUSINESS!

FPS games need sniper rifles. People don't want to engage in man on man gun fights. They want to be miles away. I doubt they're going anywhere..because there would be a tsunami of butthurt. I don't like them personally. But, it's a balance of having people interested.. versus gameplay.

OH NOES THEY FOUND STUFF BUT IM GONNA POINT FINGERS!! YOU!!!

I've had it sit for 20 minutes..or more.. I left the room and checked on it.

It's weird..cause like some times I just hop right in. Then others..it's like pulling teeth.

God damn. Empty, half full, 3 slots away from full. Doesn't matter. Six Launcher, Dayz commander, arma server propagation Doesn't matter. Half the time I hear someone breathing in their terrible microphone. AHHUDHD DUDE BRO IM STILL LOADING YAHKNOW.. I don't know if the servers I'm connecting to are garbage servers hosted on a PC, or just over burdened..or the backend needs some serious work. Cause I think the survival challenge is trying to ration the beer i'm drinking before I load in. Cause I don't wanna get shot on the way to the fridge for another one.

I ran with a guy, to peel some zombies off him, and ditch them in a building. We both walked into a house, and he found a hatchet..and sure enough he came after me.. So, I let him chase me through cherno..about 10 zombies chasing us I lead him into a fenced in area..and promptly alt-f4'ed.
