Well not surprised after this latest patch. Rocket is incompetent. This mod/game is doomed. |

Are you sure you bought the game? 
Bought it and the expansion on Steam, check my profile. It's alpha....it is an amazing concept that needs almost every aspect fixed. Until it moves farther along the development path, the hype is totally unfounded. Just look at the brilliant move to eliminate spawn camping by removing the pistol from the spawn kit....
It reminds me of CounterStrike or Desert Combat when I played them in early beta. Lots of issues, but WOW! what promise. The difference there is that I already owned Halflife and BF1942...which were well worth the barrier to entry.
Then you obviously have huge problems with games that deviate a litle from the generic shooter.
I mean I understand that, in Tribes for example, I was about to give up because I tried to play it like a normal shooter, and of course that didnt work. I blamed the game for that. But after a little conflict in my mind, I kept playing and soon I realized its the best game since Doom and the controls are not the worst, but the best for a game like that.
You just need to realize what kind of a game ArmA 2 and all of its predecessors is. After 11 years it wont change for you. Either deal with it or go back to CoD. |

I agree it's not for everyone, or even most people. If the idea of running through some woods/fields for a couple hours, only to arrive at a tree stand with nothing but a couple empty cans and a bandaid doesn't do it for you, then it's probably not for you. ;)
You misunderstand. I want do do that. I enjoy that aspect of DayZ. I hate getting to the treestand and having to move my reticle around for 10 seconds until it finally allows me to pick up the items. Or spending 10 minutes scouting around a command tent....finding a set of rifles....and not being able to pick them up. Or having to deal with constant jitter or perspective shifts. It all detracts from a fantastic concept. |

How can people stand to play this game??? I bought ARMA II specifically because of the hype surrounding this mod. It was a waste of money. This is a true alpha with all the horrible gameplay you can imagine. Even the ARMA II engine feels like cobbled together code that was put together by a bunch of monkeys. The game has amazing promise....but results in a HORRIBLE experience. I can only hope a real mod group or gaming company remakes this under a different name and it runs on top of a decent engine. VALVE, ARE YOU LISTENING?

...and I'm pretty sure Valve would gay up a game like this, bigtime. It also needs to be big, and Valve doesn't do 'big'. |

Playing DayZ is like trying to build a giant lego castle in the middle of a shopping mall where any dipshit kid can come along and shove it off the table, shattering it and making you start all over again.
Don't forget the Legos are warped and disfigured and covered in glue, too. |

Dude it's a quote from mod author himself, linked above in the news post you're commenting on  The language is pretty clear, I doubt anyone embellished anything.
For DayZ to continue growing in a Minecraft, grassroots kind of way, it really does need to be standalone at some point. |

DayZ will eventually die just like you would from a zombie apocalypse and give birth to some mutated zombie that will stop at nothing until it gets 50-60$ (or less on steam sale) from your corpse, then when all hope is lost it will release a dlc for 19.99$, all the while the original mod will be abandoned, long an barried. Have fun /w Arma2 core game! Or it could be as long lived as something like CS. I doubt it, but who knows. |

I could see F2P working for DayZ just fine. Just limit the microtransactions to aesthetic items like clothing.
And you'd have to guarantee that people wouldn't lose them if they died, which kinds of defeats the purpose of the mod as it's currently designed.
Lots of (crappy) f2p games let you buy a weapon for one life. I'd see this doing the same if they made that decision. The issue, then though, is that the place soon becomes flooded with them. Do you balance that by having them break/disappear at death? That'd just piss people off... |

Not really. You can't steal people's clothing in the current mod so why change that? If you died, you'd just respawn with the clothing you had equipped. |
