(Opinion) The game is more fun with a group/team.

[pacpac 22]

I have a lot of hours into the SA alpha and the most fun, for me, (outside of being drawn into a gun fight/finding rare loots) has been while playing with others.

 

The only person I have ran into in the last 3 weeks (on stable and exp/ all 4 characters) has been the one guy who was cutting down trees outside of Berezino and the guy who silent KOS shot me in the back of the head robert ford style as I was eating and looking out the window in Olsha.

 

I'm kinda done with running around solo.

 

I've been everywhere, man. I've been everywhere.

 

Uber-geared HC stable char? check.

 

found EVERY item in the game? check.

 

crafted and done EVERYTHING in the alpha so far? check.

 

kos'd and pvp'd the hell out of every hotspot? check.

 

played medic/hunter/bandit/ect RP? check.

 

just re-gearing for pvp or keeping the client on exp for micro updates aren't cutting it for me anymore, especially with the HUGE backlog of games I've got on my HD.

 

i also worry that taking a break to come back and see that so little has updated (in a month or two, lets say) that i'll just say "why bother" and just hold off until beta/cars show up)

 

the only thing LEFT for me to do is group up with other people just for the variables it introduces into the dynamic of play.

 

tl;dr

 

(I'm so good experienced at this game I'm bored and now I'm thinking playing with others will be a handicap to keep the game fresh.)

Ok thanks for letting us know, please update us on how you get along with finding others to play with, finding people who are not going to stab you in the back with one of their current friends will be hard to find mate but can definately be done, all in all i have about ten people on steam who i met through dayz and we all play well but ten people out of the thousands and thousands i have met is really a small number and i have been backstabbed by twice as many, this can be your next challenge i guess.

about every multiplayer game is more fun when played with peers than when played alone/with random strangers.

 

that said, listing your achievements is kind of pointless, for two reasons: for one, it is a sandbox, which draws a large portion of its appeal from the freedom (and your own ability) to set your own goals. second, its great that you had fun, but i kind of miss the part of 'actively supporting the development' of the game

 

how many bugs have you documented? how often were you able to reproduce a critical bug listed on the feedback tracker? how often have you identified an issue as solved?

 

yeah.

 

still, gg wp mvp, glad you found a challenge to your uber1337 skillz by indulging with n00bs.

team play is the best you can take part in awesome activities like .... guard that dead players loot for hours ..... or just wait in X town im only over at Y town for hours ... or ... my ever popular favorite ... watch that closed door in a building your " team" is holding down ...  just to name some of the fully sick adventures you can have ....... and you will think happy daze i really achieved something in dayz with my 400hrs playtime and upon reflections 350hrs of it were waiting round for other players ....  squad play its the best

Don't forget 'spotting targets for another player to snipe' and 'go loot those bodies and bring the food back for us, I'll cover you'.

Playing DayZ solo really is pointless.

 

I only ever do it to gear up for group play later.
