    Thoughts on DayZ

    Im far too new to comment on Dayz current state when it comes to endgame. But even as a sandbox i think there needs to be something to strive for other then killing people. Things that often make sandboxes amasing games are that the community decides where the game goes. A few examples are such as clans having proper headquarters and politics between groups of players fighting eachother for something. What if there was somekind of territorry claim for groups of players granting them forexample a option to spawn with eachother in theses locations and stashing equipment as long as other players dont claim it? As i said i am far too new to actually give any proper feedback and just spewing out some factors that make hardcore sandboxes playable for longer periods.

    New players cant get past learning curve

    Im new aswell and the learning curve is steep indeed. The biggest issues i have the first days were firstly as you started without a weapon and not knowing how the zombie mechanics worked the logical thing was to simply run from zombies which isnt the case really unless you know the tricks. The fact that running into a barn with a horde of zombies chasing you is a great tactic isnt the most logical idea. I bought Arma2 only to play Dayz aswell so never played arma2 to learn controls and such (which i should have). The biggest issue i see when starting new is since you start with no weapon you have a rough time figuring out how the inventory even works. Another thing which i really think they should do is let you start with a map. I started playing with 2 mates and we had a really rough time finding eachother and a map would help new players getting into the pace of the game alot faster. Everyones gonna alt+tap for a browser map anyway and starting with one would help new players finding eachoter immensly. Im not saying that you should start with a gun becose its hard just that starting with nothing makes learning the basics a hell of alot harder. Especially when the first towns are warzones. As a new player i would that actually has gotten down the basics id say starting with a map would help alot for new players to get in the groove and the best sollution for helping the newer players would be to have a learning section with video tutorials on the Dayz site.
