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

It's very fun, in a "what the fuck am I doing uuuugh" way. It's a solid challenge, fairly steep learning curve, I like it. Anus and I were wandering around trying to find bros but unless you have a map and a GPS on setting servers you're flying blind for the most part.

When we spawned in sort of the same area we used the coast for navigation until we met up, got chased by zombies (you spawn unarmed) until we found some HACHETZ then we scavenged some base items until I got my legs broken and had to commit suicide to avoid slowing anus down. Then we switched to pro-skillz server XL and couldn't find each other and I wept, even though spacepoopz and babitz helped me find their locations.

10/10 will play again.

 

?/10 Yet to find other bros to play with. My short time with menck was damn fun, for sure.

 

if this game was piratable I'd be fucking around with you guys as this is my kind of game, but then it would probably be shit infested with hackers and other plagues, if it isn't already huehuehue

 

Judging by the amount of butthurt on BI forums - it actually isn't infested with hackers lul

DayZ tards are like "BIS why the fuck did you brick my gaem I just wanted to "experiment" in DayZ which is unofficial mod?!?! why the fuck did you global ban me"

and BIS is like

"Buy another copy "

 

Err what I meant was not hackers bothering me now but so that people can't spawn items on private server and pop into public fully loaded. So the private server is off the grid so to speak, characters created there are stuck there, nothing can cross over, etc... maybe someday down the line.

 

Send him an email and ask if he'll give you a private database so you and your friends can play it the way you want. I'm sure he'll get right on that.

The game is a blast right now. I don't cheat although I steal from cheaters sometimes, I think. Get out of Cherno, you might have some fun. Or hook up with us. Although it did end badly for the last guy that ran shotgun for me.

 

Initially I also thought "well wouldn't it be great to just explore and survive vs. zombies without all the assholes bothering me" but then I quickly realized that a lot of charm of DayZ will be lost.

With zombies you know - there are not much of them outside villages. But with players that are not your private little group you never know. It's the constant exhausting tension and that's where the majority of DayZ's brutal charm is.

 

I don't mind all the other players at all. I think it'd just be fun to control access to some degree, or design own maps to play on. Just wishful thinking not genuine complaints.

 

What he said. It's a massive stress! It fucks your body and mind. We all go through it, shakey voices, almost pissing our pants scared. For long stretches. It's bizarre and beautiful. Not for the menk. I meant meek.

 

Some old fart took my clips and made a cool promo. He emailed me. I didn't even know I had email on youtube, but I do. Except for the retarded "QUOTES" from faggot magazines that wouldn't know a game if it shot them in the fucking face seven times, it sort of caught the vibe. The best part is that it was my vibe. I feel like one of those prancing, rainbow ponies now. I feel complete, my work in this world is done.

 

You're famoose. Running around the house, that's how I break LOS too.

 

For some reason, I thought it fun to RP a fundamental christian in the apocalypse.

While running from zeds in downtown Electro, me and my Friend in Christ ran into a white knight player with a nice AK. I had a suspicion he tried to snipe me earlier but he denied it.

He holed us in a church while getting meds for my festering wound. Little did he know that we wanted more than that. As he gave me his medical supplies, my friend cried out 'Praise Jesus for this bounty!' as he stuck a hatchet in his back. He died right on the altar.

Nobody fucks with the Jesus.

 

You can design your own maps. You can also modify DayZ and make it work on the multitude of other official and community maps. It's more than possible to make it save chars on your server. It just takes a shitload of time and also requires knowledge of C++/in-game scripting language.

That's the main reason why you are still stuck on Chernarus.
Although community extracted and released some scripts separately (loot generation; food/temp/healing simulation)

I think it was Stereotypical Villain who said he had nightmares about DayZ.
Serves him right for lone-wolfing at nights for weeks.

I also had a dream about it once

 

So dayz is a rape simulator?

 

I've been skipping the game for the last few days. 1.7.1.5 is fucking A, fixed everything since 1.7 series kicked in but now the problem is, whatever server I join, either all the loot is gone, none spawning anew or the frame rate is horrible, with the exception of a few servers. I usually play in night time so maybe that's because by the time I join, servers are needing a reset.

That's just awesome.

 

Yeah rocket is aware of serious framerate issues (broken loot clean up. Again). 1.7.2 will come with fixes.

 

I hardly play too. Cause...I duno, I seem to be destined to fail badly in this game. There's the fear of losing something..I haven't killed anyone yet...so yeah. Maybe. Maybe I'll get in. Kill my first man. And log out. I don't mind exploration but that chase really broke me mentally.

 

I love how every fucking building there is blocked with barbed wire. That thing is such a pain in the ass and is only used by server hoppers to block off loot, seeing as it doesn't do shit against zombies anyway. Rocket still insists that you can hop over it, yet every time I try nothing happens or I somehow manage to break my bones.

 

Rocket can be a moron sometimes, thinking that his 20 minute stress-test rushes are good enough to pass sweeping judgements. It's more likely that he set or found a wired fence on sloppy ground and vaulted over the part that was partially buried in the terrain.

But they do block zombies outside. That's the thing. If you set a wired fence indoor or by a doorway where zombies switch to walking mode, they simply walk through anything. When you set them outdoors, they still function as you would expect them to. Most players don't seem to realise this since most people don't set fences outdoors to begin with.

At any rate, I don't complain about wired fence death traps. They are part of what makes the game and PvP great. There was a recent carebear thread about it at reddit. People whining and moaning about wired fences blocking their way oh god oh god why why why it's so unrealistic and everything. Lazy piece of shits who can't be bothered to find a toolbox or a vehicle.

However, it's unfortunate that when you remove a kit, it's gone for good. Back in 1.5.something, stuff you dismounted became available for picking up again.

 

If the damn things actually worked the way they're supposed to and didn't require a water wand to find the magic place where you can remove them I wouldn't complain. Right now some fool just plants the thing and it's there for all eternity. Then there's the server hopping aspect of it, which is itself a huge issue.

 

Day 12. r00fles!

Heli crash sites is where it's at. Fuck me if I'm even going to Stary Sobor.
Just found a crash site. Too bad that someone was already there. How do I know that? There's a Winchester with 7 slugs next to it.
Luckily for me, however, is that the person who found it first was somewhat of a retard, missing a NVG.
Does anyone want it? I have one already.

 

I want it

But first I need to get back into da game.

 

Also get off the coast. I'm not going down there.

I also have a spare ghillie. I might need an intervention for hoarding soon.
