Should you buy this as a Solo only player?

[ChrisS3097]

Is there any reason to play this Solo?

[-OrLoK- Слава Україн]

you can have solo fun but the crux/core is really aimed at the MP experience.

It's good solo, harder in some ways and easier in others.
Still recommend you have a mic set up, even if you're not teaming up with people.
General rule is no mic=no life for most players you bump into. If you don't talk they just gun you down...if you do talk you might get some tips, trade for things you need or at least convince them you're not worth wasting ammo on.

Uhm so there are no servers or anything where i can just play completely alone, like to explore the world or anything?
Well, that's sad.

Would be waaay to boring if you ask me but dunno i just got it recently having a blast played like 16 hours or so
Edit: there are definitely low populated servers you can easily hop onto those and play

*There are 1000's of servers both official and community, not hard to find an empty one to run around in.
*If you got money to spend you can also rent and manage your own server which you could password protect.
*There's a mod that lets you launch the game as a single player session (so you can explore freely, spawn enemies, practice with vehicles and weapons etc.)...all your progress is wiped when you close the game though.

The benefit of DayZ is the modding and community servers, you can pretty much find a server that does what you want. There are modded maps that have way more to explore than the official maps, servers that are just deathmatches with instant respawns, roleplay servers that are just pve so all you do is explore, base build and trade.
Might be worth a search around youtube to see what they're like.

you can also run a server on your PC while you play and you have it all to yourself and it saves between sessions.

I play solo 99% of the time on a low population server. Survive the elements, fighting zombies, Lots to explore, building, crafting, hunting, fishing, farming etc.. Check out will to survive vanilla community server. I've seen maybe 8 people max logged in at one time and I have never run into anyone yet.

CREATED A SOLO PLAYER SERVER -----does anyone know why my player in solo keeps disappearing, its happened 4 times in 3 days? I get looted up leave the game come back in the next day and it takes me back to my first original profile.

[PsychoSinner]

Are you talking about playing alone on a server? Or without a group but on a populated server? It's not really clear.

Strange because I never have that happen. Maybe its the server you are on?

100 % recommend to play this game solo :) its very immersive and of course you can talk to other survivors crossing your path

I see. I'm a fan of playing solo. If you're good at sneaking around and ambushing, you can easily take down 2-3 players on your own. If you're creative, you can probably kill even more.

[Doberman4ik]

Im sure there are some solo only servers, but there is also RP servers which it sounds like you may like. There are rules against killing players on sight on there. Or some servers might have no PVP unless youre in certain areas, which are PVP areas.

Theres plenty of very popular servers that limit group size to 3 players or 5 players though.
