It’s had a lot of flaws over the years but somehow Dayz always makes me reinstall.

I’m the same. I come back every now and then, call in love, gather good gear and foods, get annoyed, fall out of love then wait months before doing the same.

DayZ is one of those games I’d love if the internet didn’t exist(obviously the game wouldn’t either).
DayZ has so much potential that is, imo, tossed into the sun with the internet. Online maps, guides, routes, min/max youtube videos, 3rd party apps to chat on, and things like this. Now I’m gonna say this right here. I understand this is subjective as fuck so just take a chill pill. These things ruin DayZ.
The game is at it’s best when you fully immerse yourself into the world and use critical thinking to survive. Using the stars to orient yourself. Finding a map and compass to finally be able to make a plan. Discovering a military checkpoint on your own. Finally finding a hospital to get supplies. But I’d wager only a handful of players engage with the game in this way. They have an online map up on a second monitor or their phone. Or use discord to chat. Or a youtube video to use the best route to be geared up immediately.
You can see this when you google for help and people are like “bro just use this, this, and this”. Yeah but I don’t have those things, I’ve never even seen…oh they used a guide and now have everything they need.
I know I’m being silly and unrealistic. But it just totally ruined the gameplay knowing everyone around me is basically just skipping ahead cause “I wanna shoot people!”. To the point where people will loot all the good shit and just hide it to keep others from ever finding it. Just a bummer of what “could’ve been”.
Edit-cutom servers are diff. Talkin about vanilla and in general moreso that those.
I love this, the best balanced hardcore game I’ve played. I keep coming back to it too.
I have it always installed, every two or three months i fire it up and start sneaking, after a week or two of gearing up i get killed in an alley, then i stop playing for next two months.
In my experience people in DayZ are either super friendly, or kill you on sight. There is no inbetween.
Can it be played solo?
