Does anyone here play or tried this game? I've been playing on and off with a few friends since its release and have had some pretty fun(ny) moments.

I tend to avoid early access games, especially survival ones *cough* rust *cough*. I'm hoping that DayZ eventually turns out nice as a finished product with more features than the mod. I'm sure its got something going now but meh. I don't really get hyped for games now though, so that is probably the case for me.

I wanted to check this out ever since I saw the mod version a while back but from the lets plays I watched earlier this year it just doesn't look like what I was expecting. Maybe later on if the development progresses further, I'd also only play if I can host my own server (don't know if that is possible or is planned but it'll be the single determining factor if I ever decide to give it a shot).

My friends and I were a big fan of this game, but ever since you don't spawn in the coast, we've stopped playing. While getting firearms are a bit easier now, there's no way we can trek for 1 hour just to meet up with eachother. It was much better before, no matter where you spawned, you can just go south or southwest and end up in Cherno or Elektro.

I havent played for a while, but I hear there's ALOT more things you can do now.
Fish hunt etc.

I stopped playing for a while ever since every player interaction has been shoot on sight.

I haven't played it since the first month I bought it, which was in December 2013 I think.
Got really annoyed with all the bugs and stuff, don't know what they've added since then but eh..

I bought Rust in January and enjoyed that a lot more, stayed up all night playing it the first day I bought it even, but that got boring too once I did everything with a friend.

I admit it's pretty hard to stick with in terms of a game full-time, luckily I don't play it full-time (in fact I dont really play games as much lately, no time). I have taken more to finding creative ways to kill people (of course not the fresh spawns though) or finding new loot as it comes out. I'm still waiting for the fabled patch that gives us vehicles though.

I was sniping a few people the other day from a pretty good spot, killed a few people and never heard a single shot wiz my way lol

Today I loaded up on arrows/green gear on a first person server to try and possibly get a kill with the incredibly difficult-to-use bow.

Yeah you can host your own server, can set a password too. Persistent item storage is in the works too, in fact it's live but broken (of course) currently lol. Supposedly fixed in the next patch.
