So I went into this with all the bad stuff I've ever heard about this game, stuff like its ♥♥♥♥, boring, cash grab etc...
I'm going to preface this with: I have only really played two MMO's before this, TERA and World at Warcraft and Runescape if that counts? I've also Only played 3 Elder Scrolls games Skyrim, Oblivion and Morrowind all on console.

So far I have only played because of the free weekend and wouldn't of bought this game otherwise. I am 15 hours in and enjoying it. I haven't felt the need to just 'buy' stuff to progress and there is tons too do. It's like and Elder Scrolls game with the hundreads of things dotted around the map, so much stuff to do it can be abit too much. I have purposely stayed away from guides and 'build guides' because its fun being a noob and experiencing a game with no prior kowledge of it. In those 15 hours I am level 15, done a metric ♥♥♥♥ ton of quests, crafting and general exploring as the world is very open and interesting kinda like skyrim/oblivion in that regards.

Gathering materials can be a pain and sometimes hard to find, however I find the best way to get materials is just quest and you will often see Iron ore, Plants or anything else on your way. I can see why someone wouldn't like this but I would not say it is pay to win. It is however grindy, but not to the extent of Tera or Runescape.

I will say when you start you are awarded 500 Crown currency or whatever it's called, use that to buy the Starter Pack, you get a Horse, Dog and some other items. I only found this out when I hit level 15 and probbaly could of progressed a little faster If I knew about this earlier.

The game runs fine for me, My specs are AMD Fx6100, GTX 660, 16GB 1600mhz Ram and 1tb HDD. I can run this game on Ultra at a healthy frame rate and the Loading times are often very quick.

TLDR: Really Enjoying it and lots of stuff to do, can be abit grindy but I am still buying it.

Ah. DayZ, the game that was all hype and a cash in from the Arma 2 mod. I bought this game when it was fresh on the steam store for £20 2 years ago. Now I don't have the largest playtime of this game but that's with good reason. This 'Game' lacks the features that was available in the mod which is FREE. There is also a Arma 3 Mod which is FREE. So what's the point in buying this early access piece of garbage. There isn't any quite frankly. This is the game that gave me a bad taste for early access STILL has not got the basic features which was in the mod they are either simply not there or don't function correctly. DON'T ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ BUY THIS PIECE OF ♥♥♥♥. DON'T BUY EARLY ACCESS. The you can't say anything negative about early access games statement is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. This 'game' has been in alpha for 2 years. 2. In comparison Arma 3 went from alpha to full release in 9 MONTHS. 9!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
