Can't really tell as I never played warz.

But from both youtube videos looks similar.

Dayz of course is based on the arma engine which is more realistic looking and hell of a lot clumsy in terms of interface.

Yes you are right, it is still considered Alpha. Its playable, but still a lot of features missing.

Character wipes are quite common I heard. SG servers pretty good, Max is 40 players per server but mostly only 20-30 online. Currently only 11 in my server. Last night peak hour saw about almost 20-35 for most servers.

I turned off all item listed below.

ambient occlusion
post processing
edge smoothing

That is just the mouse acceleration, cant turn it off at the moment. Not really caused by high graphic but its not optimized, and the map is bigger than usual bf4 map.

I normally log in to the DayZ SG 1-26. Today server was a bit bonkers, restarted 3 times while I was playing and the last time it stop, I could't find it on the server list so I called it a day.

For graphics I suggest you guys turn off the clouds. I got a good improvement after I did that. In fact most of my settings I've set low and the game still looks beautiful. This game is not to look good, its to survive so I turned off or set low most of the graphic options so I can have smooth gameplay.

Add me and we can roam.
This morning managed to play a few hours.

My character from the night before got wiped, really proud of that one but was completely defenseless other than a splitting axe.

Now my new character already got most of the supplies, just need to find an M4 and military outfits.

Also learned to use a compass. Must be 1st person view to view it, 3rd person view can't use it. (Press Enter to change your view)

Open inventory and right click> use bandage.

Or put it to your quickbar, press the quick bar number, use mouse scroll to select action. Press your mouse mid button (scroll) to activate action. (your possible actions with the item is listed on the top left hand of your screen)

You can also tear your tshirt into rags to use as bandage if you have not found one yet.
