Lets rule out the likes, and dislikes of DayZ so far.

[Blice 2]

just curios to see what features you guys like and dont like

 

Ill start off, I am really a big fan of the proper medical system, when your doing something it appears to be like an operation and its pretty cool. I am also a fan of the new ways to kill people (force feed...ect, never gets old feeding some guy disinfectant spray) So what about you guys, what do you guys like?

[BigCountry 26]

I like the new GUI

I like the items that add more storage (ammo boxes, med kits etc)

I like the customizing of your characters appearance

I like customizing the guns (I love this actually)

I like the ability to enter more buildings (give a reason to hit all the small towns that previous you would just pass thru)

I like the mechanic that getting sick sucks. You have to be very careful what you eat/drink etc

I like the fact that water sources are important again

 

I don't like the AI. The AI is HORRIBLE. You would think in a 21st century video game, one would know how to correctly create/code/line of sight AI...

I don't like the fact you cannot loot who you kill. Once you die and restart, your body goes away. I hope this is only temporary

I like the new GUI and Inventory system

I like the way you can customize weapons and characters... (Love this)

I like how there are small med kits you have to take out and open, or ammo boxes

I like how food is rare... makes me need to go find stuff

I like the the new buildings

I like the new towns up north

I like how it's about surviving and not deathmatching

I like the medical system, makes it feel more serious

I like the Melee combat (if you can believe that)

 

I don't like the zombies (Mainly the bugs.)

I don't like bugs and glitches

I don't like how the KOS mentality was brought over

I don't like how servers are too small... player count wise

I don't like the lack of items (It's an alpher... I know)

I don't like how bodies disappear (Zombies and players alike)

Likes:

All the new buildings and locales.  It really makes you feel like you can explore even the tiniest towns.

The weapon system.

Hot keys

UI and inventory

Character customization

Being able to drink out of wells or streams without needing a canteen.

Running around with an ax, a shirt and no pants like a psychotic Winnie the Pooh

 

 

Dislikes:

Server player count is too small.  With all the new buildings, you could hide a hundred people in Cherno and never see each other.

Balota is now NWAF..south.

More variety of loot (I'm sure that's on the way).

The instant black screen when you die or go unconscious.  I liked seeing what happened around me after my character died in the Mod. 

 

 

Here's a big one:

The zombies fucking suck.  I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt since it's an alpha, but to be quite honest, I'm not sure if they will ever get better.  I mean they made brand new ones and they're still kind of terrible.  They move all retarded.  Zombies should either shamble Walking Dead style or should go apeshit and sprint full-on at you 28 Days Later style.  These sort of waddle up to you, stop, and go "blaaaaah!" until you bop them on the head with a fire ax.  Even the girl zombies should knock you down if they run into you at full speed.  And they seem all skinny and small.  The hardest part about fighting them is trying to figure out where the "kill box" is.  And are we to assume the zombies will just be scattered all over the map standing motionless until some player walks by?  Or will they be wandering around on their own?

I like the fact that it was released

I dislike the fact that the game will be immune to criticism because alpher for the next 2 years

[Spidey (DayZ) 78]

I like the fact that most of the buildings are accesible

I like the whole medical system and the thirst/hunger system - the more you move and the more weight you carry - the faster you are gonna get thirsty-hungry (at least that is how it appears to me)

I like the customization of weapons - its awesome, but it sure needs alot more weapons and pieces. Im sure thats on the way though I like the character customization, but again - needs alot bigger variety of items. Again, that is probably on the way as well

I like that its far less laggy than the mod was in earlier stages, actually, for me it doesnt lag at all. FPS is a different topic though...

I like the little transportable gas lamps. They are awesome at nightime, and you can even use them to trick and lure people into a trap !

I like the fact that there seems to be more shop buildings, and less military ones I like that balota is so populated now. It gives you a choice to spawn and get to action immediately, if you just want a quick play and are willing to risk a death in order to gain gear easily. If not, you can simply go somewhere else..

I actually like the melee system, you just need to get used to it. Practice with a baseball bat on zombies.

I like the server browser and overall the steam thingy. Playing with friends has literally never been easier in Dayz

I like that you can even open wrecked cars and find stuff in them. Saved my life once when I was dying of starvation

. I like the new GUI and everything. Just needs a few graphic improvements, thats all.

 

I hate that the zombies are really there just for the atmosphere, and they suck even at that. You should have a fair chance fighting a zombie 1on1, but it takes you literally like 10 mins of straight punching to kill a zombie, however surprisingly it takes you one bullet from anything to the leg to kill one. They also seem to be even glitchier than in the mod, in the terms of sights and hearings.

 

I hate that you cannot one-shot a player with an axe anymore, or atleast I havent been able yet :D I hate that there is no point in sneaking. You cannot hear other player footsteps as long as you are more than 2m away from him, so why should he sneak anyway.

 

I hate that they released this game and put this price on it. "Alpha, alpha!!! " well thats not an excuse, games are not meant to be RELEASED when they are in ALPHA. They are meant to be tested at that point. But whatever, i love it anyway..

I like new melee system
Doors and stones do not break legs. I tried to break something on purpose and nothing happened.
I like new character customization and overall look
I like dark nights
I like new locations on the map and more enterable buildings
I like new zombie behavior. They can chase you inside of the buildings
More reasons to traverse map in search of loot. Hunger, dehidration, sickness. Not perfect but works.
 
-
 
No private hives. No control over rented servers.
No disconnect counter
Broken illumination. At night most light sources provide rather small and hardly noticable amount of light.
Gunshots are too quiet, hardly hear them from a distance.
No respawn or suicide.

Broken zombies.

 

Minor things.

Cannot loot dead
No value of life. Fresh spawn have nothing to fear of.

We need reasons to interact instead of killing on sight. So far there is none.
