DayZ Standalone pre-Alpha - Finally here

Seriously considering buying this... What are the SA servers like?

Pretty good IMO. Most people you'll find are friendly except for a few that will KOS. I've now died a few times either of starvation, thirst or being sick lol :D I have yet to die from another player

So many bandits lately i start over and just run to get some food and people will shoot me on sight.. probably the fith time now, hard to find friendly's who won't just shoot you.

Anyone here perhaps have a group or wanna team up? Looking for a group to play with who is very active in the game.

Steam ID: shirouza
 
I'm surprised at some of the design choices. Obviously it's only pre-alpha but it seems they stuck with a lot of the clunkiness from ARMA.
 
Guys does text chat not work?

There is no global channel and if I meet someone they don't respond to my messages in direct chat.
 
There must be something wrong with mine then... Is there a global channel?

No global chats, so if someone is near you, you can either use your mic or the "/" to chat directly but it's a short range they can see the chat at.

Yeah we were in the same room. I googled and it seems a few people have a problem where the other person can see your text but you don't receive theirs. So frustrating.
 
It's sad to see people are still as aggressive as they were in the mod. You're still very likely to get shot when you're carrying nothing but a torch and a battery. Would have been nice if this changed with the release of the SA, but oh well.

It's decent so far, even though the broken zombie and loot spawns are a bit of a downer at the moment.

Funny enough is, i got so frustrated on the South African servers as i barely find anyone who is friendly every person just wanna kill you on sight, and funny enough is when they get shot and respawn they are like "friendly" "friendly" just to quickly get gear again and repeat shooting you.

I went to a EU server and had such a good time, better community as well regarding DayZ SA, i ran around fully geared around Cherno and had like 5 people i met who wanna either run and explore together or do something not just see you and shoot you.

Perhaps something is really wrong with our South African folks? Trigger happy i say.
 
How playable is it on international servers? I know ArmA fares well with high pings, but I believe the dev team changed up the netcode for DayZ.
 
It's playable in terms of latency.

The game really shows its pre-Alpha state though.

It really seems like a worse version of the Arma mod. I worry for its future.

On the other hand we have Rust early access which is like a completed game already.
 
Biggest mistake = Using ArmA II engine. WTF we're they thinking?

Once you play Arma III you cannot go back to this shitty and clunky engine with its bad animations. Sigh.
 
Rather tempted to get this, played quite a bit of dayz ARMA2 mod version.
Some thing that the mod bugged me was the constant server resets, long connecting time, and funky zombie warping/clipping.

How big are the updates?
Does the server restart ever so often?

rant **damn free falling rand value, salary decreasing every month** /rant

Get Rust instead. It's cheaper too.
