DayZ, a zombie mod for ArmA2 - Now standalone on Steam Early Access

[CreamyBlood]

I like the comic strip, it reminds me of my recent life. Just posted another one in the playground that is quite similar, two bad it took me 1.5 huors to show what that cartoon does in a few seconds.

Go pick it up Metro, best thirty bucks I've spent in many years.

Server resets and I once again see my ATV roll downhill out of the trees like Nyan Cat.

best thirty bucks I've spent in many years.

yup!

How come I always choose the wrong servers to hoard my items? First EU8, now DE3. Gone forever. FTS.

How come I always choose the wrong servers to hoard my items? First EU8, now DE3. Gone forever. FTS.

That's why I try to always use servers that update rapidly and properly update their server description. I also find that if they are veteran/expert with 3rd:OFF and CH:OFF that they are more serious. It severely limits your choices but at least you might not get screwed over because of mis-matched versions or lazy admins. You'll just get butt fucked by the usual growing/transition pains.

We also like to spread our goods over several servers. All eggs in one basket and all that.

 

[Darklife]

Yeah some Polish server I was hoarding my crap on near NEAF seems to be gone as well. On the plus side it would seem that Black Lake is basically a supermarket, as I almost always find some tents there. Those people should be glad I only take what I need, instead of destroying their stockpiles with a car

 

[CreamyBlood]

Don't cross it out yet, it might reappear. We left a mostly broken car today with some toys for whoever discovers it. Nothing great but an alright score for those that find it. Could have dumped it all and destroyed it but we didn't. Don't have to be complete dicks. We'll never know who get's a smile on their face in the next few hours.

 

[Arpad]

Damn, this game's fun. My friend killed a guy with M14 so we went on to raid Balota airstrip, he shot everyone who came around while I looted the bodies. Only had to scram when things started getting heated when some groups came around. We escaped alive but I broke my bones later on a rock or something so the rest of the trip consisted of me trying to stay alive and crawl to a spot where we'd have time to loot my corpse while gunning down some players on our escape. Loot wasn't that great but at least we finally got a tent since we hadn't had luck finding any in our cherno visits.

Known issue:
Sometimes players get kicked for "bad name" - workaround is to try editing your profile to change name.
Or worst case create a new fresh profile.

Fixed in beta 95099

 

[Konjad]

yeah works now

Old Bicycle is indestructible. You can run it off the road into red, but just hop off, wander about for a few seconds then hop back on and its good as new. Been screwing about with it lately its great fun for scouting. Do it at night with NV goggles and you can spot helicopter crash sites so much more easily AND ride right up to the crash without spawning zombies. Cant carry anything on the bike, just your backpack, but its fun to pedal about at night.

 

[villain of the story]

The same goes for the motorbike plus you can carry some stuff on it.

And I found my stash servers back. Strangely, they show up on DayZ Commander but not in the game's own browser.

 

[thesoup]

What's DayZ Commander?

Yes, I am aware of google's existence, but I'm lazy.

It's always like that, le orb. That is - Slavs are usually pretty aggressive and self-sufficient (especially Russians), Germans are mostly reserved as well, though not as aggressive. The rest of Westerners are nice, helpful and naive (except French, they rarely speak English ). It's the same in all games, especially MMOs, you should know, you played Haven & Hearth, did you not?

Somebody replace the Canadian survivors with Creamy's pic in GD pic thread.

I just found this out after 2 months+ of Dayz.

 

[someone else]

Anyway I've driven/rode on almost all the vehicles on Dayz now, just missing the V3S Civilian and boats

The V3S came with 2100 rounds of 7.62mm NATO. XD Now I have found everything in Dayz. And still not a murder to my name. <3 XD ^_^

It's like SixLauncher except it doesn't suck.

Oooops

http://www.dsogaming.com/news/the-w...game-inspired-by-dayz-closed-beta-phase-soon/

Hammerpoint Interactive has announced a new MMO game that is inspired by the amazing DayZ mod of ArmA 2. The War Z is a survival horror MMO zombie game that promises to immerse players in a zombie-infested, post-apocalyptic world in which a viral outbreak has decimated the human population leaving, in its wake, a nightmare of epic proportion.

 

[WhiskeyWolf]

Why do I have the feeling they will totally miss the fucking point what makes DayZ good?

 

[Sranchammer]

Love the game but havent played it since the new patch.

 

[villain of the story]

Either way, competition is good.

Switched to 1.7.2.3 myself. So far so good.

 

[someone else]

They should remove that webbing sound when running, we are not soldiers, tired of it since OFP, when I hear it I am reminded of the smell of grass and stale sweat. Fact: The best sense memory of humans is smell.

Oooops

Even the screenshot misses the point of DayZ. Why the fuck would anybody run into a horde of zombies with a shotgun that holds only two shots?

:declining:

 

[someone else]

So I have over 2000 rounds of MG ammo, I decided to grab 1000 rounds leaving my NVGs behind, run to a crowded server and start shooting hotspots to see if I can scare players. Instead I ran into 2 helicrashes on the way to the coast before I hop onto a crowded server. Here is a video of the 2nd helicrash and me shooting wildly as I can barely see the zombies + me thinking really slowly about which weapon to pick up at the end (we have enough DMRs). Ended up returning to camp.

Yeah, you guys probably want a video of me shooting other players, one of these dayz.

 

[Stabwound]

So Arma 2 is on sale today on Steam. Is it worth buying this shit for $18 if I have no interest in the original game, just DayZ?

I was reading rumors that this is going to be released as a standalone game in the future so it would be a a pain in the ass if it had to be purchased again.
