I just want to share with those of you still opt to playing on console. I've been playing Dayz on console since it came out like most of you. Recently I've had enough playing Dayz on console and finally switched to a new PC as my old laptop didn't have the gaming specs. Now that I've done it, I was saying to myself why I haven't done this sooner. Dayz is meant to play in PC, not on console, maybe Rust. Although the good improvements were made over a couple of years, thanks to hard working BI, it still had many fundamental issues. When the moment counts, like in the heat of gunfight(forget about cars or other silly issues), it was so laggy that you could not pull the trigger and end up getting killed by unfriendly console bandits. I'm used to playing in fast FPS genre that it has been so frustrating and not fair. It was also so pixalated view that you couldn't see your targets clearly, like watching the video in 360p. I'm sure you all know what I'm saying here.
I strongly suggest you to go look for a decent pc or gaming laptop with at least 1660Ti GPU, instead of buying a new PS5. I know some of us can't afford new PC but if you do math, like save paying Playstation network fee each month and if you can save up $50 per month with your PS5 budget, you can afford it(company like Dell has easy financing). Tell your mom that you will study hard. You can't play complex game like Dayz in a console where it doesn't even have minimum requirement to have playable Fps. You can't play modern games smoothly with Pentium 3 and its like that. No matter how hard Dev work to improve the performance, it has the limit. I've never enjoyed playing Dayz this much especially having access to all cool mods of high caliber weapons and gears. I look at Lars like Sks now and i get so immersed in scenery. Dayz Expansion is how its meant to be for Dayz, not to mention new map like Namalsk winter. See for yourself and hope its worth your time, no more wasted. Unless we have Playstation 10, we're not going to play Dayz how it meant to be and so stop the frustration & criticism for devs. Btw, if you're not familiar with mouse&keyboard, get yourself a cool PS5 controller as Steam now supports it and you can bind all your keys like how you used to play in console. I can't wait to play again tonight and I only wish you can have the same experiences and keep the love for the game in this depressing pandemic. Lastly, BI should hire these brilliant modders to modify the game and make it official for all. My apology to BI for using this panel as a forum but just want to help those in pains and misery.
Happy Holidays and Playing Dayz!
