Am I old enough.

[Inception. 9443]

Because the DayZ Mod has nothing to do with DayZ and is nothing like the Standalone, it will just leave a not representive image.

 

Of course the DayZ Mod is like the Standalone, but that is irrelevant in this situation. He's asking if he's old enough for DayZ Mod.

You asked why and now it is irrelevant? Sure...

I am asking WHY he should wait for the Standalone. You then reply with he should wait because DayZ Mod is apparently NOTHING like the Standalone. That itself is incorrect. Your reasoning is essentially irrelevant, if that is possible. He is asking if he his old enough to play the Mod and you say he should wait for the Standalone because the mod is nothing like it. He never mentioned the Standalone.

Meh I think you should be able to play if your dad lets you.

I don't know if you understand the functionality of a discussion, but you know, the discussion actually developes within the process of the discussion. I know, this may be new to you, but I got to inform you. You see, the actuall question asked by the person who opened this topic, was actually answered. Yes it was, believe it or not, but there is no doubt. And as good fellow humans we ofcourse want the best for other humans. As you see, I just tried to give him a good suggestion. People do that, they exchange their own opinion about something, to actually help other people. In this case it is saving money and a lot of frustration, including a better overall expirience for the probably best game ever.

 

He never mentioned the Standalone, but he asked for advise, so here we are, we advise him. So, my dear "DayZ Forum Team"-Member, let us talk about the accusation. You try to tell everyone in this forum that the Standalone will be actually like the mod? I really don't know what you have played the last 6 months and I don't know either if you have any information regarding to the Standalone, but it really seems, and I don't want to offense you, but to me it just seems as if you were living behind the moon over the last year. Let me get to the point, here is my explanation why the DayZ-Mod is nothing like the Standalone will be.

Number one, the most important, is that items (the loot) will be actually controlled by a main server. That means, weapons, ammo, food etc. will be very rare and hard to obtain. And exactly that is the huge, very, very huge difference between those two games. The core of the survival game DayZ is (I should say was because it changed pretty much) that it is actually a survival game. As weapons are very, very rare the peoples behavior is changing massivly. The reason for that is that the loss of something that is very, very rare is much more painful than losing something invaluable. And as you know in DayZ Mod there is nothing from value. You can get AS50s and cars within one hour. Within one hour you have actually made the progress which you will probably never make in DayZ Standalone. The progress of the gear, which is the only thing which let's us play the game, is the most important, and I mean it, factor for this game. Even "back2theroots" DayZero is ridicilous filled with weapons. I can find a M4 within 20 mins. As you probably heard Dean Rocket Hall, he stated that exactly this won't be the case anymore. Weapons are rare, if you lose them, you lose them for days not just for 5 mins.

In DayZ Mod right now there is simply nothing to fear, actually the only thing you can do is spoil the expirience. And here is the important part why I don't advise to buy Arma 2 for the Mod, it is simply because if you have seen an AS50 in the Mod, a hunting rifle in the Standalone won't impress you in any way. You already had an AS50, so what the hell? But, if you never played the mod, you will feel like a god after finding the hunting rifle. And ofcourse the whole map will be a totally fresh expirience, you don't know anything about chernarus.

And also, DayZ Mod is very, very simple and very, very easy to master and survive. There is simply nothing to fear about in this game. If you die you can get the gear back within 20 mins. Everyone is playing pure PVP without any player interaction because there is simply no reason. And this is point number two, the player interaction which will change immensive in the Standalone.

It is not as easy as it was before to survive alone and there are many more reason to stay alive than just you weapon. Maybe you got awesome clothes or a cool looking character. However, this will probably change the whole gameplay of DayZ. Ofcourse, there won't be even weapons for having a deathmatch, because you simply won't find it. And people with a weapon don't want to lose it because they had a hard time to find it. Actually these facts will change the deathmatch into a survival game. As zombies are a bigger threat and more dangerous it will also be harder to survive. And the simple fact that it will be way harder to survive will also change the whole game.

I don't know how you could compare these two games. Sure, both of them have zombies, an open world and you lose everything you got if you die. But besides that the games are totally different.

I higly recommend you play.I'm 13 and in Ireland, I often play with a large groupof guys my age, they're mature and non-boisterous. We often drive around the coast and give gear and rides to the noobieZ. Oh and did I mention that I'm a Leprechaun? I'm not up to-dte with human standards.

How old are you inception? :3

 

He's 4.

Errr...wat.

 

You are saying that he should wait for the standalone. Inception simply asked why...and you slapped him in the face with a wall of text.

 

He is asking if he's old enough to play the MOD. Not the SA. And I'll think you'll come to find the mod is alot like the standalone.

 

Your opinion is irrelevant and needs some thought.

You got a problem with Inception or something?  No need to go all out on him like that.

[TheDesigner 1197]

I can say with confidence that by even taking the time to say this, you're more mature than 60% of the people who play this mod. It's no one's fault, it's just that the Internet got its hand's on the mod and... Well, it's the Internet.

But here on the forums, it's a more mature place, I like to think.

Off-Topic:

-rant-

I believe this was a question and not a discussion on the Standalone. If he wanted a discussion, he would've asked for one. But I will respond to amuse you.

I recommend not waiting for the SA, because it has no release date and will be, presumably, very buggy on release. DayZmod is a sort of polished Alpha-Beta hybrid of the SA that will give you a general idea on what to expect. You also will get access to several different mods, that vary in core mechanics, guns, loot, and objectives. Then, by owning ArmA 2, you can delve into the pretty awesome world of ACE/ACRE MilSim, if you're into that stuff.

For what reason have you adopted this kind of attitude in your response?

Saying that the DayZ Mod and the Standalone will share no similarities is a ridiculous statement. They both have zombies and therefore are alike. I only need to give one example in order to prove your statement incorrect.

So, my dear "Member", let me inform you upon this [was that even necessary in your text?]: I have played the Standalone.

TheDesigner, Dilux11 and Skat3rat have summed up stuff pretty nicely. If you have a major problem, which it appears to be that way, send me a PM.

 

If not, then let us make love.

 

How old are you inception? :3

15.

Easy now, Inception. You end up sounding all mature and grown up when you talk like it. If this discussion goes on much further you might ruin your reputation of being childish. Have some more  :beans:, you seem to grow from them  ;)

Tsk tsk, Inception. Apparently your age gets many people worked up. 

 

It's his job to be mature and help people. He is a moderator, 'Forum Team'. YOU are the one being childish.

[Inception. 9443]

On topic please.

[strideynet 36]

Can we get this thread locked. I mean having fights with Inception may be fun but my dad wont want to read 4 pages of text. Especially text about Inception. I understand the current states of both games and how they will be different. I hope to get a chance to play both ( Dayzmod as a backup when servers go down).

Thanks guys.

[Skypill 399]

Stridey i'd love to play dayz with you some time.

Add my skype- thedoranstarvi

Edit:

I too am 12 and will be 13 in january next year. Would be great to play DayZ with somebody of a similar age to me.
