Aside from it being buggy as hell and the airfield glitch spots taking me out all the time.

Try Breaking Point m8, a lot of people have from here and have not touched SA since. You might be shocked at how good it is.

Haven't touched BP for ages ^ so boring now, need a new map and soon!

Witcher1979 · 22 Jun 2014 at 20:31

I think these games always need a break, I have had I dunno 5-6 weeks away from BP and come back fresh today and loving it again.

Me and my girlfriend played this together a few months ago, came back to it again last night, thoroughly unimpressed with the lack of progress.

The biggest killer for me is the movement, it feels so sluggish, like you're drunk, I constantly end up walking into door frames rather than through them. I don't know about everyone else, but I can easily jog up a hill/stairs for at least a few seconds, not slow to a walk every time.

As a software dev, I don't understand how some melee weapons work and some don't, I mean, surely they are all melee weapons with different attributes/statistics, doesn't make sense to me.

So after what happened in my previous post i managed to kill myself and respawned it spawned me next tothe huge shipwreck they added a while ago iirc no one was around so managed to loot some decent things to help me start off green hoody, tactical vest, compass, medic box, magnum and a few bullets for it, combat trousers and headtorch was about to leave the wreck, stopped to have a look around first to check for zombitches or any other players when all of a sudden my guy walks to the left and falls off the wreck WTF

game annoys the hell out of me lol are there any servers some of you go on that havent got the KOS mentality and wouldnt mind me joining up with you?

Renton · 23 Jun 2014 at 07:46

Played a few hours last night with a couple of friends, managed to make a fishing rod and catch some fish and shot a deer.
Defoliated half the map and made a fire....nom nom nom surf & turf with potatos, I think I am the Delia Smith of dayz

Actually had fun with out bumping into people but just hunting will get boring pretty quickly I guess

You won't find public servers that somehow only have non-KOS players! Anyone can join, meaning any kind of playing style goes.

I enjoy PvP and will continue to shoot on sight anyone who appears to have gear I need, or is a potential threat. Bigger back pack? They're gone. Moisin? They're especially gone (unless they see me first, in which case I pretty much always lose).

But this latest update means you don't actually need to go into towns; you can now survive without going into highly populated areas. But you'll need gear first, and for that why not get someone else to loot for you? Then you take it upon yourself to remove their need for gear.

Really? Open a tin with your bare hands?? How?

Waits for the hilarious and bloody YT link of someone attempting to open a tin with their bare hands.....

Nope, kill or be killed.

I don't mean team mates obviously, but on any server you will either get sniped or shot point blank because the other bloke cant speak english and thinks your robbing him.

Oh and if you run away without shooting you will get shot cos you have nice gear that means you dont want to talk

Fixed my assumption that there is no hope left for this game.

MrMarvelous · 23 Jun 2014 at 19:39

Yep, I figured the same. I honestly hope H1Z1 lives up to the hype. I think we're at the point now where the ArmA 2 engine is so bad and clunky that we'll never see any performance increases, they'll just keep adding more useless stuff in hopes that people will just 'forget' or get over it. Thank God I didn't buy this game.
