AZAZEL Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 OT: Played it at a friends one time, pretty fun, but after like 30 minutes of walking around and stuff, gets kinda boring. You can't really achieve much in 30 minutes. It's pretty dull if you're just playing on your own, though. Bring a few friends in, and things get quite different. One of the most intense moments I had, was me and a mate driving along a road, him in his van, and me in my noisy UAZ jeep. Suddenly one of the windows in my jeep cracks, and I faint right there at the wheel, near death. Then I hear the crack from a rifle. Someone sniped me from afar. Unable to steer, my jeep veers off the road and into a fence, while my mate scrambles to find the sniper. I come to myself, topple out of the jeep, and just manage to apply a bandage to stop the bleeding, before fainting again right there in the gutter. I see the silhouette of my mate's van forcing a hill at speed, chasing a bicycle carrying the culprit. He vanishes into the forest, so my mate returns and gives me a life saving blood transfusion. We got into our cars, and just got the hell out of there. A few seconds later, the guy makes another attempt, and hits me again, but not as severely as the first time. So we keep driving, putting some distance behind us, then patch me up (again). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Sorry for the bump, but I've not played this in forever. I'm just wondering if I play through DayZ commander will it automatically patch the game up to the current version? Also, any of you guys got any suggestions for a server to play on without too many hackers(I'm in the UK) and one last final thing. Its probably been like 4-5 months since I last played, but my character was still alive before I stopped playing, I presume I will have to start from scratch again?

friendly luggage Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 • Zombies, whilst worth avoiding, weren't the real danger - bandits were. I was at the NW airfield and was being chased by around 15 zombies. I went to run into a control tower like building but debri blocked me from going in so I got smashed up by the zombies. In the end I just got to the ladder but had lost so much blood, my guy was shaking like mad and my game was in black and white. Luckily though a guy from Norway found me in the forest nearby and we hunted some cows together to get my blood back up. However latter on while searching a small town for a jerry can, he ran into me while I was on some steps which broke my leg Good job I had morphine on me. To thank the guy I gave him my FN FAL with 3 mags which was being stored in my Alice pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OysterBarron Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I'm not sure what your trying to point out here? Not the right topic for one. and 2 this happened about 2 or 3 weeks ago the end of the story is Warz developers threatened to get there legal team involved, the mod in question retracted his whine apologized and then was rehired. Himself admitting he was just annoyed at getting let go from the company! As for reused assets from other games this has been a long known fact. I don't know what the big deal is? it's like moaning about rockstar reusing the blista compact car model throughout 3 different games, It's just making news out of no news at all apart from the fact the developer is being savvy in not wasting resources to remake already created content! but with all that said there is no good reason why they wouldn't close the game down if it hasn't become profitable in the long term. why would someone support a game that no one is interested in anymore? But it's a big IF the game doesn't become profitable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secura Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Man, I had a hell of a night playing this game. First I stole a bus off of a group of about twelve bandits and they chased me down about five miles of road more of them joining in the chase the further we went, eventually I swerved the bus to make a quick exit through the woods but I pressed too hard and ended swerving the bus off of a cliff. I survived the fall, barely. Afterwards I spent about half an hour trying to sneak out of an area where the were about twenty to thirty bandits looking for me, one of them spotted me as I was crawling away and I managed to shoot him right through the head quick enough that he wasn't able to alert his buddies. However, the gunshot that I fired echoed around the area and I was quickly on the run. I was being chased again by the full might the of banditry force when I remembered that about two miles north there was another bandit base and these two bandit groups often competed, fought and killed each other over resources so I ran towards their base yelling through the mike that they had a bus and they were chasing me with it. I avoided the bandit's original attempts to snipe me, however, I was almost captured when I made it to their stronghold. The other bandits had caught up with me just in time for me to take out the two guys holding me prisoner and try to formulate an escape plan, I made a mad dash for the exit of the building the second group had taken me to and outside it was like WW3. There were about sixty to seventy bandits shooting each other with AK's, Pistols - you name it they were trying to kill each other with it. Then I noticed it, on top of a nearby roof top there was a helicopter that the bandits had procured from yet another bandit group. I slowly made my way through the gunfire and explosions to the top of the building, though I did catch a few good glimpses at the battle raging on below - one highlight was the first group of bandits driving their second bus right into the stronghold crushing about six guys. Before any of them knew it I was in my very own private chopper flying far, far away - the only thing that I could hear were my enemies yelling obscenities and dying as I flew away to the horizon. I went back the next day and there were no survivors, turns out they'd alerted the horde midway through the fight and they weren't fast enough to scramble together and stop them .... it's lead to me collecting a lot of loot ... I love this game. Any of you guys got stories to tell and tell me what you think of my adventure, I'd love to know if you guys have gone through some similar issues.

Rebel Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I've been playing a lot recently. Finally found a server I'm going to stick with too. I've not had any major balls to the wall action I'd say. Recently hooked up with a mate who plays too, we've had our share of bandit run ins and running around Electro in the dark with our flashlights and seeing everyone use flares and sh*t. The thing I've noticed though, is that people pretty much shoot you dead/knocked out before you even realise what the hell is going on. Which is kind of the whole game so it doesn't bother me - it bothers me when they then say in chat that they totally pwned us/etc. Its like dude, we didnt even know where the f*ck you were or even got a shot off. We killed this one guy in a police car. Basically I was on the hospital roof getting supplies while my buddy was in the supermarket. This guy in the car saw my mate and basically turned around to get him, so I laid down some warning shots on this guys car hoping he'd turn around and leave us alone. Anyway, he gets out and goes prone 2 seconds later he pops me in the face with a military weapon. I'm not pissed - its the whole point of DayZ. My mate kills him with a f*cking lee Enfield. Anyway, my buddy is alive and I have to spend the next 2 hours running to his location with just a hatchet. We finally meet up and the guy we had previously ran into and killed with that car basically kills my friend in the pitch black with NV goggles he has. Not only did this guy have NV he also had a high powered military weapon. Now this guy had been dead for 2 hours like me & he had somehow managed to get to the airfield way before me(I was just getting there) and had some awesome equipment. It annoys me when guys like this suddenly die but get a ton of good sh*t out of their ass while most of us struggle to find a decent weapon. Also, they need to get rid of those f*cking empty whiskey bottles. I see nothing but those haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OysterBarron Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Rebel don't forget you can get tents ingame no doubt he had a supplie tent nearby where he was stocking up from. I'm the first person to yell hacks but it's a possibility that he has a tent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 (edited) Even if he had a tent, he couldn't of physically gotten to my friend before me and make a detour because he started further along the coast from where I did. Its not a huge issue, its more the fact that only a few select people on servers seem to have all of the best sh*t while others are struggling just to get by, even though everyone knows where the best areas are for gearing up. Edit - if any of you guys fancy teaming up in game, then just let me know in this topic or through PM. Edited December 16, 2012 by Rebel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like quite an adventure indeed, haha. I haven't really experienced anything similar, as I rarely play on servers with that many players. I did have a rather funny encounter with a newbie recently, though. I had just been stocking up on medical supplies in Cherno, and was making my way out of town, when someone shot me in the leg with an AK. My leg broke, so I rolled/crawled into cover behind a building, and quickly took some morphine, and popped some painkillers. I only had an axe on me, but was pissed, so I ran the other way around the building, and found him emerging in the courtyard. Not expecting me to be on my feet already, he started firing frantically, but didn't hit sh*t, so I assumed he was lagging, started zig-zagging towards him, hacked him to sh*t and took his AK.

AesopRocks Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Admittedly none of you know me, I'm pretty new here, but if anyone wants to play, add toml.1993 on Skype - or add me on Steam: http://steamcommunity.com/id/BitterAspect I usually hang around the Towns (Elektro/Cherno) getting up to no good. I once got into a little shootout and my friends got scared, they said "I'm out of here until you've cleared the air". This resulted in me getting a ride into another village, camping out there for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheatley Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I haven't played Day Z in while. Trying to join a server with both the correct beta patch and Day Z version is very difficult, it's harder than trying to beat the land speed record by running. Although the last time I played it, I spawned near a medical camp filled to the brim with zombies and dead bodies. I climbed on top of a tower to scout around hopefully to see some unused medical kits and possible weapons left behind but I saw about ten zombies hunched over near the exit of the camp and a player trying to sneak past. I went prone to hide from both the player and the zombie, in hope that he would avoid gathering attention by standing up and climbing up the ladder in the tower I was hiding in. I had two choices: Get the zombies attention so they could kill the player but have the ladder surrounded by zombies with no possible way out Let the player climb up into the tower with me, hopefully that he won't kill me. I chose to trust him, and let him into the tower. I scouted around just like I did and climbed down to enter another nearby tent. Unfortunately for the player he attracted some unwanted attention from the group of zombies and they chased him around the camp and was killed. With the zombies gone, I left the camp seeing that there was no supplies to take and saw the airport just up ahead. I crouch-walked over there and went prone in some overgrown grass only to be shot from an unnoticed sniper. -Wheatley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewstinian Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Big update with the standalone. http://dayzdev.tumblr.com/post/39933141266...ase-i-suppose-i Q: Do we actually spawn in our underwear? A: No, but you can drop your clothes, or I guess someone might order you to drop them. Q: How do we get to be one of the testers? A: Those who are testing will get the game for free, and never have to pay for future versions. Their job will be tough. We're starting by rewarding the forum moderators, reddit moderators, dayz mod development and community support team, etc... Rocket also did a quick Q&A on liriks livestream, these are the (paraphrased) answers: - Some twitch streamers will be in the test - There will be an NDA in the closed test, but streaming will be allowed. - Release (test) could be any day now - Clothing is unisex - Weapons will have durability and there will be weapon cleaning. - They want to allow modding later on, once the game is stable/secure. - Cars/vehicles will be phase two priority, Rocket wants to redo them completely so you can change parts, engines, build, mix and match Mad Max style. - Rocket hopes to be able to "Mad Max style" build cars, interchanging parts and engines etc. - More blood gore, not cheesy though - Individual bone fractures will exist in a few months, it's not complete but the engine architecture is done. - DayZ will likely be ported to XBOX if sales are over 1 million. - The game is heavily optmized, our three programmers are the people who made the engine, there WILL be some problems, at least for the first three months but most of that will be server oriented, most fps improvements at client end will probably be soaked up by graphic improvements. - Lighting engine is being looked at by the ArmA devs. - The new skin shader is from the ARMA III engine - Child models have been looked at Also a Q&A we did with Matt, one of the producers of the DayZ standalone, can be found here: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/...thew-lightfoot/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebestgameever Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 - Weapons will have durability and there will be weapon cleaning. When i seen him write this on the live stream, i kinda jizzed in my pants. That was one of my biggest wishes. I do still worry about it being in Chernarus, more open buildings and a few locations wont really make as much of an effect I worry, we all know were the main towns are, airfields, what places offer high loot etc. Plus Chernarus, IMO, is not that great anyway. The town layouts suck and many other little things, hopefully it is changed well enough. I would have preferred a 4 to 5 month delay but a brand new, gigantic map for 200 players made ONLY for dayz. Hopefully the modding access comes quickly, or chernarus will get old....QUICK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZAZEL Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Stole an AH6J from some bandits earlier. I didn't have any food, so I used it to hunt goats, and I gotta say, those Hydra missiles are perfect for the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remix Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) Rocket did an AMA on reddit today. DayZ isn't being released for a few months. If you can't be bothered reading it all, they completely changed the architecture of the game late last year and that broke everything. They've since been able to build a relatively stable game, but it's missing almost all the features they would have hoped to have implemented by now. The general tone of the answers are "yeah, we hope to have that in the game within the coming months". From reading it all, I'm still not really sure what they've done. They've changed the UI, slightly restructured the map and...? I think Rocket is still stuck in "it's a mod" mindset, when in reality this is a AAA title that thousands of fans are eagerly waiting for.

DeeperRed Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 It doesn't say anywhere it's going to be a couple of months. It actually never states the date, it just says before April. It all depends on the upcoming test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
