DayZ 1.0 Full Release - who's playing?

[Kenadian]

DayZ Mod was by far the most played Community Game in Band of Others history. It ticked all the boxes; team based tactical gameplay in an open sandbox, resource gathering and management, base camps, resource sharing, stealth, looting, melee, shooting, vehicles and the endless search for resources to build, fly and maintain your helicopter.

It was a blast and nothing has come close since.

So now that DayZ is standalone and after five long years finally out of early access, who's playing?

Also, if you are playing, how has the game changed? Is it comparable to DayZ Mod and if not, what are the biggest differences?

 

[Kenadian]

Personally I do have DayZ but uninstalled it ages ago as it was a buggy mess.

If you think it's worth playing and want to hook up this coming Saturday Dec 22, please let me know.

I've been messing around in DayZ:SA for a couple of days now, and i must say it's actually quite enjoyable.
Still some bugs present but the way it runs and looks now is insane.
The whole map has been reworked and it feels like everything i learned from navigating on the old map is quite useless.
Also the way the map looks now is awesome, it really has the "apocalyptic" feel to it now.

Since we still had credit left on our old ArmA 3 server i used that for a month of DayZ:SA, so we currently have a server running (Which is also completely modifiable)

Just don't think any of the previous experience from the mod is going to help you.
And don't drink from ponds without cooking or cleaning the water first

That's kinda sad because I'm sure that's what most people were looking forward to, the promise of DayZ Mod minus the hacking.

Well I'll jump in Saturday so if you want to get your game on look me up on Steam.

Interested to hear how this turns out, and if Dayz mod just becomes the communities next "I only just want Battlefield Bad Company 2" cry. It's been over five years now.

Dayz is how I found Twitch and, ironically, Day 1 on Twitch is why I dont own Dayz.

Ya the Mod was epic, standalone, not so much.

I guess we'll have to see how it goes Saturday.

I've been kind of curious about this, I must admit the only time I tried it was with EV and we discovered that the particular build we were playing had somehow managed to not have any zombies in it, after me running around for ages too. That kind of put me off but I'd be willing to give it another try, I'll look forward to seeing how you find it on Saturday!

The game is still pretty crappy and certainly not worth anywhere near the asking price but every now and then you get moments like this:
