Arma 3 was in alpha for only a few months and the performance issues were never as severe as in DayZ. I'm not saying that Arma 3 is optimized (hell no), but atleast it was/is somewhat playable.

I'm not saying it won't improve, but it is broken at the moment. But of course, you alpha fanboys would never admit anything is broken...

And it's been in Alpha for 1.5 years. You would expect atleast some improvement in the important areas in that time. Right now, the game is not even close to the MOD!

It's not meant to be buggy and broken either. But it is.

Challenge != buggy unfair gameplay

Which then means people will avoid high pop servers. I'm not exactly sure what your argument is

The usual DayZ fanboys that live in denial and will never admit anything is broken.

Why is it expected? Every server should have the same amount of loot, regardless of the uptime or population. That's what the central economy and loot respawn is supposed to be here for!

Even if they have loot, it's mostly clothes and very rarely anything useful. But for the most part, there are just empty houses. My point is, people shouldn't diss other people when they complain about the loot, because it's clearly broken. Hopefully 0.56 will fix it!

I'm not talking about the exp branch. I'm talking about the broken stable branch 0.55 update brought upon us. Luck? Some servers have loot, most don't. That's not how it should work.

I don't get this discussion on "difficulty". The game isn't difficult at the moment, it's broken. The simple fact is - there is no loot. You can't forage or go fishing if you can't find the items to do that! Now combine that with broken zombies and server lagg and you get an unplayable game! Hopefully the next patch will fix the loot and zombies.

Why are you in denial? The game is FUBAR Btw. Apples are useless

You're actually less likely to be attacked, since it's easier to spot 2+ people than just 1. It's also harder to find enough resources when you're a group as food/water is then used much more often.

Are you seriously using Crysis as a comparison? Crysis had pretty bad optimization

DayZ is unplayable
