I swear the DayZ community on Steam is more immature and stupid than the idiots that plague the official Call of Duty one. There is about 16,500 threads on the board and every time a new one is upped; you refresh and it's down to page 4. About 2,000 were regarding the issues from the other day and all practically the same! Needs moderation desperately.
Here's my favourite comments from two days ago (copy and pasted+all English speaking users....apparently!):
'My dayz no worken. joned server got boted amd now dont play. can i get moneys bak plz'
'plad Dayz earlier n server crashed. wot do i do n is this game broke now n do i get money cos of this problem i am havin help me pls'
'I want a refund for DayZ because the finished product is a complete joke. I know this is the alpha but I paid my twenty quid and it doesn't work properly. Reply if you want to protest and we can set up a group and if we get even a hundred members interested; they have to refund us'
This is why I'm so happy to have found ForeverGaming; a nicely sized forum with a great community, very tidy and well-maintained.
Trying to get through to the DayZ forum that the standalone is a alpha and not a finished product is proving an impossible task.
