Ok right I have played dayz for years now and the game it’s self is really good at its core but the only Problem I have with it if your wanting to play with a small group and make a base you will have no life from that moment on, someone will always have to be online protecting it from Other players and your most likely being camped out side your doors 6/10 times. This part you done have to do you can free Rome which I ended up doing and it was so much more enjoyable not having so worry about logging on all the time.
2nd reason you may not enjoy this game is sadly the played base, you will run in to people with a lot of decoy accounts so when your raiding and you kill them they will just spawn in with other accounts and kill you from behind. Also a lot of the people who have a lot of gear never leave the game for the first reason I said. If your a casual gamer this will not be the game for u.
