Arma 2 DayZ

[Whitellama]

So, this is pretty much inspired by Day Z, and it looks pretty promising in my opinion. It's a little sad, considering Day Z hasn't even made it out of Alpha, and if this is successful it's likely to kill Day Z in its youth. Still, building the game up standalone will have a lot of benefits. Thoughts?

"War Z"

..

Way to be original, good sars.

While the name is going a bit too far, they have full rights to make a FULL GAME out of a alpha mod. If they can do it succesfully, it will do well. But dayz is far from finished, and unless the dev team has mind reading powers, they will not go in the same direction.

War Z looks bad.  You can save your items.  You can make parties.  There should be no real parties, players should only be bound by friendship (lol felt weird typing that).  Saving items when you die and transferring between characters = game breaker.

Not sure what WarZ is but it does sound bad, also am i the only one who prefers to play alone??  I feel more of the suspense part of the game that was and its just great.  Also i don't have many people to play with anyways...

I agree.  The brutal consequences when you die is one of the things that makes DayZ so interesting. If I know I'll still have lots of stuff when I die it is not nearly as intense or fun.

How long does your body last, until it "rots" away.

I think it's 15 minutes, it was 5 minutes at some point, unsure if it still is.

From my understanding In War Z there's a hardcore mode witch is like dayZ where if you die, you die and have to start over. And then theres normal mode where you can just respawn and relax.

I would enjoy that better than DayZ. I've got this awful hoarding issue where whatever I end up finding (shitty item or not), I feel like I just found a shitload of diamonds caked in cocaine with unicorns prancing around it. Rainbows and sunshine. I feel so great when I have a full bag and some decent items, then when I'm killed by some douchebag or event I feel like I could break my keyboard in half.

Would be so wonderful to respawn with AT LEAST SOME of my items. I haven't even played in two days because I'm scared of losing the morphine and blood bags I found.. I rather not play and know that I have the items than play and lose them and have to restart with nothing. XD

Those are easily replaced though, normally through boxes on hospital roofs or medical tents. Dying is part of the game though, better to die or fight back than log out before getting shot at or eaten, because that ruins the experience for other players.

I didn't log out to avoid dying, I logged out when I raided a hospital during the night and I'm too afraid to log back in.
