Dgenerate

failed attempts to avoid dehydration and there after, unconsciousness. Have been vitamins, antibiotics, epipen, eating fruit. I went through 3 towns and about 15-20 kilometers without finding a single thing to drink. I almost drank my disinfectant spray, but I figured it'd probably make me sick. I was unconscious for about 15 minutes before I logged out.

I've found 3 downed helicopters since playing this game. 1st helicopter: 1 AS50 with 3 mags 2nd helicopter: 1 FN FAL 3rd helicopter: 1 AS50, 2 FN FAL's and 2 M114's scoped

And it's all well deserved.

Wait. The game is incredibly frustrating right now between the bugs and the crap mechanics.

I've lasted maybe 45m :D

My friend recently convinced me to try out this game(mod), and after watching a couple videos, I was sold. However, after buying Arma 2+ expac and downloading the DayZ Mod, I feel like I was a little misled. Instead of the survivalist, you vs world vs players game I thought this would be, it turns out that this game is more like: you vs world vs players vs bugs/bad mechanics. I LOVE the concept of this game, and I understand it is a modification of another game, but the amount of bugs and weird mechanics I've run into has almost made me regret the purchase. Sitting on 5minute+ loading screens, or not loading in at all has been one of the largest disappointments, and I am on a fairly powerful computer. The other major letdown is the inconsistency of zombie "aggro". Zombies walking through walls and teleporting around the map is another major issue I am getting fed up with. I have a friend who I was telling them about the concept of the game, and became interested in purchasing the game and mod. I honestly had to tell him to hold off on his purchase because knowing that if I were having problems with the game, he'd have a much harder time dealing with the issues when he came across them. In the end I am not going to say I dislike the game, but I honestly dont see how I will be able to keep my long-term interest in it if I have to work so hard to get past all of the big issues the game has. Maybe the Arma 2 company will see how successful this mod is and focus some effort into further streamlining it? Let's face it, I did not buy Arma 2 for Arma 2, I bought it to play a multi-player zombie survival game.

I think this is what ill end up doing. As I said, the concept to me is gold. I just hope they are able to tweak it and make it less of a headache to actually play.
