Coop-Gameplay

[10vorne]

I actually wanted to play DayZ with a friend. However, we now found that it is not that easy.

The following questions:

- do we really have to find ourselves on the map, there is no invitation or something like that?

- if we find each other, do we stay together even if we quit the game to continue playing later?

- if someone dies, does it start all over again?

- are there mods or similar to avoid all this and enable a smooth co-op game?

All of your question's depend on the server you play on,
If you play on official:

- Yes, you have to find eachother or get lucky and spawn near eachother. (or just keep suiciding until you spawn close to eachother.)

- You stay together as long as you stay in the same server you're currently on, if you join a new one (has to be the same hive to keep your current character) you'll get a random spawn again.

- If one person dies they'll get a random coastal spawn and the surviving member wil have to run back to the coast to find the other person.

Modded:

- There's some mods that allow you to form parties, which does make it easier to find eachother but you'll still have to run towards eachother or respawn until you spawn near eachother.
