Mature Survivor,,.my view so far

[Wightlion 28]

Hello all,.

 

In-game now for four days and having been a  Arma2 and dayz mod player for about a year,..I was unsure how this stand alone was going to pan out but let me tell you that I am totally impressed,..even at the Alpha stage that we have now and in my opinion its better than some of the games out there we have in a full version.

 

I am really excited about what the game is going to become as we now know that crafting is going to be involved in some form. I wonder how much similar it would be to say an Epoch scenario where you can build your own place to hang out  or would we be able to get a tent and build a small encampment to protect that.I suppose we shall see in due course. This is all supposition of course.

 

Ive always liked dayz because its not only a game where the youngsters can run around and blast people at will but it also caters for a Lonewolf or Solo player, like myself, that wants to think about where you want to go, how are you going to do it, take onboard the obvious risks involved, plan out an escape route etc etc blah blah blah and this game is perfect for that.

 

Now I have as Ive said been ingame for four days and have only died at the hands of an opponent once. Due to the room that I frequent, which is perfect for leaning, helping, and getting advice, I have met a few good people along the road for instance last night  a guy gave me a saline drip and I gave him a long range optic for his M4,.... obviously theres always that bit of tension when you first meet and that gives the game a bit of a rush or a buzz that you wont find elsewhere within the game world.

 

Those are simply some of the many pro`s or the game

 

as for Cons well you know I have none really as we all know or should do that this game is Alpha and very much a work in progress and I personally as delighted that I signed up now instead of later to be a part of the game`s progression.

 

So in essence,..I love it !!!!

I am so longing for interaction like this. I am yet to have something other then a timid encounter that involved both of us running like hell. TO me this is what the game of DayZ is all about. The tense moments of seeing someone, meeting them, being wary the whole time about a double cross, the elation of having met someone where you enchanged tales of survival, wish them well on their perspective journey and walk away with some knowledge or a useful trade!!!

Its awesome isn't it ? to be able to chat, trade and have fun without any fear that you might get shot !

Good post. I, myself, am an older player. I just installed it last night and I have a total of about 2 hours actual play time. During that time I've managed to find a couple axes, backpack, various food/drink items, a hoodie, some cargo pants, and a first aid kit.

I haven't come across another player yet and I'm interested to see how that pans out. I'm not too concerned about dying at the hands of another player because I know that will happen at some point. I have managed to kill about 7 zombies with my axe so the combat isn't too too bad that I've noticed yet. We'll see.

 

All in all I'm impressed with the game and excited to see what future patches bring us.

It is yes but I think I have found a specific room that encourages interaction although I have seen shoot first ask questions later merchants in that room ( can you call it a room?) of course the culprit got some in his legs* before I tactically moved away ( ran ).

 

* to me thats more fun to me and more of a pain to him than purely killing him
