re: What is everyone's opinion on DayZ so far?

I'm not satisfied. With how much time they have had to work on it and the major bugs they have right now, they should be further along. This is not a new game, this a mod that is still based on ARMA 2 that has it's own launcher. Dean has been way too focused on little asinine details that should of come after you got the basic game going and working great.

It's going to get hacked, it's only a matter of time.

The server owner stuff pisses me off a bunch too and that bias effects me game wise. They are setting themselves up nicely for a money making scheme on server owners while screwing over the people that have made sure the mod has kept regulars and been active while they have been jacking off to each other and climbing Everest instead of getting Standalone out.
