What do you enjoy most in DayZ?

[jjw100 34]

Hi Guys,

 

I am curious  as to the main reasons we were all drawn to this game which is essentially a sandbox with no rules or objectives.

 

We were given some tools to survive and then left to it to play the game as we would like.

 

There is no right or wrong way to play this game. But offten there are topics on these boards suggesting people who play a different play style are playing the game wrong and should be playing a different game.

 

"All KoSers should go back to CoD!" or "All carebears should go back to minecraft!"

 

Personally I play for all of the above reasons (although I don't KoS 100% of the time, unless playing Overwatch mod). I play this game because it is original, hard and open-ended. The fun you can have is limited to your imagination. I find DayZ is at it's best when you are fully immersed in what is happening to the point where you are playing and making decisions as if you were there in real life, I RP everything in my head as I play.

 

I think this is why I like DayZ so much, it appeals to me on so many levels.

I love being the God of Elektro.

I'd really like the zombie threat raised to catastrophic levels.

I've got a dozen games in which I can kill people or zombies.

But if I could survive both here it'd be near perfect.

Weather with environmental danger would be nice. (Cold, rain...)

Voted for Social / RP. I never KOS, and having fun is the most important thing in a game. If you need to push your ego and KOS everything, something went horribly wrong in your parenting. I'll rather play some Eye of the tiger in the VOIP chat & do a fist fight than killing everyone on sight. No fun at all.

Yeah personally I would like survival to have much more depth and be much harder (like the weather and environment as you say RelativeBlue).

 

Also Zombies should be much more challenging and less easy to exploit than in the mod. 

 

The most fun I had in the mod was when I was first starting out and didnt know anything about the game. Everything was hard and scary.

 

But then I figured out zombies don't run indoors and can be lost by running through a pine tree, and a fun part of the game kinda died for me. After a while zombies became a joke and could be avoided or ignored. You used to be able to ignore zombies when PvPing people as they were such a joke.

 

I would like for them to be so numerous and fast/challenging that shooting your gun in a town or AF is something you have to really think hard about for fear of attracting zeds.

The threat will have a shift until the zombies are vicious animals that roam into the room if you attract them.

 

But give 'em some time they sure will be more vicious some time in the near future and come in larger numbers.

So everyone will think twice firing an unsilenced gun or make any other noises like tripping on broken glass or such. I so hope this will come.

 

All in 1st person and there will be the same horror-adrenaline-rush like in your first time in the mod.
