Anybody around here still playing DayZ?

I stopped playing a while ago due to the performance issues it has on AMD GPUs, but it's good, the development is rather slow but the modding scene as well as player base is huge, so there's a server for everyone out there.

Vanilla/semi-vanilla wise, people don't interact as much socially as they used to as back when the game ran terribly, nowadays, there tends to be a lot of shoot first, ask questions later. Still a good time for the most part with friends and what not, solo I find myself Alt-F4 after 10 minutes.

I'm not a professional by any means but I do play it sometimes. It's pretty fun and especially with friends or people you meet along the way on your adventures (if they don't shoot you first). My favorite thing is to find a gun, some ammo, kill the first mean person I see and eat him and then die of cannibalism, then let the cycle continue. I still love the attention to detail in DayZ and how you can reload a single bullet into the chamber if you don't have a magazine or recycling broken clothes into makeshift shoes.

They just made the Livonia DLC free for everyone as well, which is a bummer for people who owned it before but at least they got the DayZ Soundtrack as compensation, luckily I didn't buy it before it became free so I didn't spend any unnecessary money. They are also releasing a snowy map soon called "Frostline" which looks really cool in my opinion. (Pun unintended)

Conclusion? FUN ZOMBIE GAME. A little expensive but it very fun to just play to turn your brain off. Also, random gunshots in the distance are terrifying as well. I like the game, but it is not for everyone. I hope you make your decision and are happy with your choice!

I had honestly forgotten this game even existed.

most people who pvp are bottom tier losers who will spawn camp and go out of their way to make people ragequit, I'm surprised this game still has a player base considering it's pvp. I hear there are servers for casuals but still the game looks mostly geared toward pvp with not much depth for the pve side of things other than trying to build something while jerks ruin it. I have heard there is a lot of cheating as well. Personally I think I will avoid the game.
