As someone who has dabbled in both, I have to say that many of the commenters here are being completely unreasonable. Here a few of the misconnections people have had about the OP: "If you like MineZ so much then go play that." -He specifically said that MineZ is terrible in his opinion (I disagree). He just pointed out there are some things that DayZ could learn from it. -He is NOT saying take away sniper and high powered weapons. He simply wants them rarer, and more realistically distributed. There is a clear over abundance of military weapons. -Many of you seem to think that your Skin changes in MineZ when you become a bandit. What he meant is that you can choose your unique skin and this goes a long way towards recognizing someone who attacked you earlier and remembering who your allies are. It makes much more sense, and is not a noob-friendly feature. -The nametags can only be seen from so far away. They are like a hat, the size of the tag is relative to their distance away from you. And you cannot see the tag through structures. -The stances in MineZ don't guarantee friendliness, there is still tension in who to trust. -PvP is still very important in MineZ. In fact it is much more skill-based considering you have time to react and fight back. Just wanted to clear up some of the OP's points, they are being pretty misconstrued and then viscously ripped apart. I also found the "Calls someone a care bear .... Cries when his super gun is taken away" picture very appropriate for most people here.
