Unfortunately my exhilaration was short lived when I saw the myriad of bugs that had been supposedly fixed were once again present. I was excited to see the amount of content that was being added into the game, including the SVD and Winchester rifles. I have heard multiple complaints that most people are tired of putting in such an effort to test a game that doesn’t actually fix its problems.Īn example of this came with the 0.57 patch, which was supposed to be a huge patch that would bring life into the Standalone again. I realized that the game is still in early access, however the player numbers are dropping and the majority of people that have dropped off are the players who are Northern PvPers. It is in my opinion the developers are at fault that people are not exploring the map, they have made it far too easy to get completely geared by sitting on the coast. I even came across a streamer who shall remain nameless, who claimed to have played SA since release and when I mentioned Vybor, had no idea where on the map that was. By staying at the coast and just messing about with the crappy melee weapons most players are missing out on the entire purpose of the game. Now I know I can’t dictate how people should play a sandbox game, however I can say that I know many of these people don’t even realize the fun that they are missing out on. These are people who never explore the massive map and instead stick around the coast hoping to knock someone out with a fire extinguisher. Unfortunately this host of new people is what I like to call ‘Coastal Kiddies’. Thus far I think it is safe to say that the SA has brought in a host of players who never touched the Mod and thought a sandbox shooter would be a fantastic idea. The standalone game was meant to be Hall’s vision brought to fruition, however it fails on many fronts. All of these combined Mods gave Bohemia a collective idea of what DayZ Standalone should be. There were even Mods of the Dayz Mod like DayZero and Breaking Point which were some of the best when looking for PvP or player interaction.
There were some truly great DayZ Mods out there that made the game into something truly unique and encouraged Bohemia Interactive to take notice of what Dean Hall had accomplished with one of their games.
Those moments where you have the chance to take a player’s life and someone could be watching you contemplating the exact same thing. It was a time like this that I realized why I loved DayZ Mod so much and had put so many hours into a game that was notorious for being buggy. Have you ever had one of those moments where you have someone lined up in your sniper scope and realize that you can either take them out, or simply let them walk on.
