I'm just a player that discovered great value in this game and am excited to share it with others. I don't even know the names of any of them. Note: I am not affiliated with the producers of ARMA 2, Epoch Mod, or Play withSIX in any way whatsoever. I also tried the DayZ Commander launcher in the beginning, but ultimately found the SIX launcher to be better supported and more advanced. ![]() To make installing and updating DayZ Epoch easy, download the official Play withSIX launcher here: Time lapse showing construction of a simple wood base in Epoch from chopping trees to finish: Here's a video I found the other day that does a pretty good job at giving you a glimpse of someone cautiously starting off new on a DayZ Epoch server and beginning custom construction an existing game building to turn it into a lockable base: Here is a list with images of the building parts included in the modular building system:Īnd here are the craftable items which can also be used to customize your base: Vehicles can also be purchased and locked with a key in DayZ Epoch, which are not only used for transportation, but are a secondary form of storage. This completely changes the dynamic of the basic DayZ shooter game. The ability to build bases allows players to seek protection, store their items, and have a place to call home. ![]() DayZ Epoch breaks all those standard MMO limitations and really opens up the world to player customization. Often building construction in MMOs is cookie-cutter with a limited number of pre-built buildings you can place, very limited construction locations, and they certainly never allow players to modify existing game structures. This is a feature that I have rarely seen in even the most ambitious of MMOs. You can actually modify or improve even existing game buildings and towns, adding additional buildings, rooms, floors, and modifications on to them or you can build your very own custom base from scratch anywhere on the map. You can build or modify anything anywhere, except for a few small protected npc trader camps. Now, the heart of DayZ Epoch is really the custom building construction. Since Epoch alone has over 2,000 servers at this time, I'm guessing it's one of the most popular mods available too. Of course, there are many other game mods available like the original DayZ, but I was not as impressed with that, and have not tried any others yet. While DayZ is pretty much a survival shooter, DayZ Epoch is like a sandbox MMO, with features like crafting from parts and raw materials, npc traders, custom building construction, hunting, dog taming, harvesting, and vehicle repair, customization, and ownership.īest of all, you can play this game for only $6 total with no subscription! DayZ Epoch is a free mod that runs on the military simulator ARMA 2 Combined Operations, which is on sale right now for only $6.23 directly from the publisher here:Įven though I've never really played ARMA 2 (although I intend to now after enjoying DayZ Epoch) you are actually getting two games in one, the actual ARMA 2 military game and the DayZ Epoch virtual world. ![]() So, first of all, DayZ Epoch is not DayZ! They are two very different games overall. Last week I posted about DayZ Epoch, but I didn't really explain what it is (resulting in an ignorant mod moving the post to the DayZ forum). Lately I've been playing DayZ Epoch a lot, and it has got me ignoring my MMO subscriptions.
