Very happy that military grade weaponry spawns less though. It should actually be super rare imho.

Hey guys i am thinking about buying DayZ how is it??

So nobody has posted here in about a year and a half. Is everyone over DayZ? I stopped about a year ago because they were dragging the development out unncessarily and focusing on the wrong issues, but I'm thinking of giving it another go. How is it nowadays? Any chance it can recapture the magic of the original mod yet?

I haven't played in easily more than a year also, haven't kept up with the development either, but would give it another bash if they actually fixed things. It was the player movement/interactions and the zombie movement that put me off.

The game has seen some optimization, it looks quite a bit better and they've improved little things like the crosshair ect.
Broken legs from tripping over a grass blade is not common anymore.
That said the current loot distribution model is rubbish, the loot spawns all over the place, police stations still have the usual pistols with a couple of Mp5's and on the odd occasion a Cz75. Best loot is still from chopper crashes although the chances of finding one are ultra rare.

Then there is the player base....There are no friendly players left.
Gave a new player some food, water and a pistol with ammo (Ammo split into small pile) he says thanx and sounds ultra happy...I run away,10 seconds later the same player is running after me trying to shoot and kill me for my rifle...
Hackers are still in the game, we spotted a guy running across a field at about 20 times the normal speed, same player shot myself and my mate through a wall and killed us both instantly with a makarov pistol...yeah super legit.

all in all it's still an unfinished piece of shit.
