saturnsvoid@gmail.com 1 Posted July 11, 2012 I have read up on a lot of Mods for Arma and they all seem to die off pretty fast... i am hopping this will not... lol its the only reason i bought Arma II.... What are your thoughts? I love the game but i just don't know what else can be added that will help keep the game alive... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
columdrum (DayZ) 1 Posted July 11, 2012 (edited) Arma mod die fast LOL, you dont know anything about arma at all them O_o. To start with 99% of arma2 mods doesnt have anything to do with dayz, and are meant to be played as a military simulator that arma2 is, adding weapons, islands, vehicles, more realistic features,... Dayz changes it completely into a survival simulator, where public games with people you dont know its possible, but thats not the case of all the other modifications.For example ACE2 was popular even like 5 moths after the release, and its still the most played arma2 mod after 3 years( obviously now its second after dayz boom). Its just that except from dayz, and PR all the other mods are played by private clans/communities mostly, just because most of the arma2 players like too play seriously and you cant do that in public gaming just because sooner or later a troll/10 year old/hacker would join and fuck everything up. Also most of arma2 playing its planned before play and then executed, just as any military operation( this is a simulator you know?) , and thats also imposible on a public game where everyone does what he wants.So fast answers, would dayz die fast? doubt it, you know anything about arma2 mods? doubt it too ;) Edited July 11, 2012 by columdrum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mastiff (DayZ) 42 Posted July 11, 2012 i hink the popularity boom will slow down as development picks up pace, people try it play for a week and you can effectively be at the end game content. Whilst the population increase is impressive i think when dayz goes into beta or even when it adopts a MC pricing strategy will we really see how popular the game can become.

ih8 56 Posted July 11, 2012 I couldn't imagine it dying off ANYTIME soon.The game is unforgiving but with death comes a drive to requip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Q 3 Posted July 11, 2012 There are so many people that come on here just to complain that I think it will slow down a lot in the next three months, but I think the community will mostly come back after Beta is released. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sgt Abraham Ford 82 Posted July 11, 2012 Given that more people have bought Arma for DayZ than for any other reason, and nearly half a million people have played it I would highly doubt it would die off any time soon. If ever... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tug McLub 0 Posted July 11, 2012 I for one love the sandbox, but I am an EVE player, where its all about sandbox. I have been playing eve for years and was very happy to stumble onto this game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Delta Smoke 01 765 Posted July 11, 2012 As the most successful mod ever released i seriously doubt it will die out. Watch rockets REZZED event presentation if your clueless as to what comes next. He has some cool things in store for us :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
