Why DayZ sucks, is unrealistic and needs to get fixed!

[Juicy^]

1. It's just a deathmatch
You get murdered quite a lot in cold blood. At first it was pretty neat how it made me always feel like i was on the edge and made me not trust anyone, however as the time went by the random killing got worse. people started playing just to kill. People started camping the best loot spots just for useless kills, people went on raiding sprees, killing everything in their path.. And of course the sane people that played Arma before the mod became awful, and it became harder and harder to trust people thus leading to more people becoming bandits, like a domino effect.
If you think about it, in a real zombie outbreak this would never happen, I'll talk about that more later. I know some people will just tell me "Oh you just suck at PvP noob lelelelelleel" or something stupid like that proving you're a brainless kid.
It's just frustrating that I can't live for 5 minutes before being shot in the head by a sniper 800m away, and let's not start talking about how easy sniper rifles are to use.. It's redicilously easy.

2. The community is bad.
First of all, most people that play DayZ didn't even have ArmA 2 before the DayZ mod even came out. That says something. Second of all, a lot of the players are pretty much whiny kids. Don't think so? Just look at the "Suggestions" board.
The community isn't really rockets fault, I for once blame the idiot youtubers that invited all the 12 year olds to the mod. *Cough* frankie, jackfrags, pewdiepie, and pretty much all the unfunny youtubers out there *Cough*

No game can never be realistic as the real life. it´s impossible.
DayZ are known for it M^oronic fans and people are giant i don´t know how to say it but *imbeciles*

I've had ArmA since 2001 and I think that you you find yourself getting killed over and over again, you're just repeating the same mistakes over and over, refusing to learn from you mistakes.

You learn nothing from games. You must learn in real life.

Hmm, so the community part is very much without any value as it is neither fixable nor something that is unique to this game. Lets face it. Games are mostly played by kids or people who are relativly young. And those people usually are very entitled because that's the way society grew them.
Like you for example, being all entitled thinking that people need to heed you as the alpha and omega of everything concerning this game, stateing boldly that you don't care for other people opinions because you have your own, in the first sentence. Right off the bat.

On terms of the first part. How exactly would you describe the way the playerinteraction works right now, as unrealistic.
A landscape where every form of rules and consequences, which are usually enforced by third partys, have vanished. What do you think would happen?
Ever observed what's happening to warzones? Murder, rape, pillaging, torture all kind of atrocitys. Why do those happen? Exactly, because the rules and consequences are not existent and if they are, they can't be enforced.
If that would happen to our world right now, we would regress to the societys we had before we settled down. There would be tribes of people who are related in some way, killing and takeing everyone that they don't know and who they could easily take on, while leaveing alone and tradeing with those that are roughly the equal might.
What would happen if that tribe encounters a mightier tribe? look at what the tribe does with less powerfull tribes.
That was the reality of our lifes before civilization and its rules and laws. And this regression is simulated by DayZ, quite potently I might add.

So you might think people will become altruistic goody-twoshoes the moment society breaks down. Shareing the wealth and helping each other. But that's just delusional. It's not happening now, it will not happen in a world without rules. Pure Anarchy baby, got to love it!

Anyway, I'd be interested how the owning of Arma2 before DayZ makes someone more worthy in your eyes. I'd really would like to know.

So now it seems we have to be hipsters to really enjoy and play this game and had to have it before it was cool. Whatever dude no one will miss you. Either you deleted traded or never owned it so move on back to rust or find other forums to preach how much better you are than an entire fanbase. Youre a big Dbag just like the 12yos you are pointing out for whining on the forums which is exactly what you are doing now. Get over yourself it all boils down to a game if you let it bother you that much again youre just like the whiny raging 12yos.

Well....I do agree. Many of the things I do not like in DayZ involves the community. I mean I just hopped into a HC server and the first guy to see me tries to punch me to death.

I don't know how things can be changed from gameplay perspective to make the community to try to be nice (act like they would be in the game in flesh and blood). It's not natural that you'd attack the first friendly face (not a zombie) in a world like DayZ. You'd most likely tried to group up jadajada.

But what we have now is horrible community. Some of it caused by kiddos and some people just are social outcasts and play the game DM style. Most of the DayZ players came from the mod so all the bad habbits are coming to the standalone DayZ. It's a snowball effect and it can't be stopped unless the devs can figure out something how to encourage to be a ''hero'' in DayZ. I mean crap. Prolly have to go to the extreme and ''if you're a hero and get shot by bandit you will not lose nor drop any equipment'' LoL.

You mentioned sniper rifles are easy to use, true. That's why we need things from the Arma 2 ACE mod like the wind. You'd need things like kestrel to get exact wind velocity (or use shift+k to get a rough idea), but the point is we'd have 80% drop for sniper rifle users because those 1 click shots they used to do....would be gone. But I hear wind effects will be added to the game at some point so that's good news.

We really need some rewards for being a hero (damn good rewards) to flip the community back on track. If this game has any weaknesses, it's the community. What's the most basic question a player ask in forums when he considers to buy the game ? ''Is the multiplayer any good ?'' ''Is there alot of players ?''. Aaaand the most common answer to those kind of questions would be ''get ready to die instantly when you spawn'' ''the community is horrible''. Nice selling points yeah.

I agree. Learn from your mistakes as in real life also, and then you'll find Playing DayZ alot better... always think ahead, use cover.. think like a criminal but if you are a nice person you should always have the upper hand and when you encounter a player with fire power you need to be firm and state that you are friendly... always walk away backwards from them until you know it is safe to get out of there.. double check... scope the area out before going in.. check ridges and obvious sniper havens and the most obvious..... do not go where all the morons go.. simple.....

[Bobduck]

We gotta have to think..do not escape from the real life.
If you do, you cannot or will never be available to play it.

"If you think about it, in a real zombie outbreak this would never happen".
Nuff said zombies! if i wanted realism id buy a game about how i go to work every week and eventually die lol

Maybe you want to try out Farming-simulator 2013, its on a 70% now.

All the zombie sheep must realize one thing. This game isn't really about zombies, they are there but not the main thing. It's about survival, interaction with other survivors, and being a sandox where you choose how to play the game doesn't choose it for you.. It's not for the weak, carebears go home.
