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

True bro.



I gotta hear that heart beat, though. I've yet to hear somebody else's.

 

This is it.
Here's some sample questions:
Did you like Fallout 3?
Who is Tim Cain?
What system did Fallout have to gracefully fail in order to get a Windows certificate?
What is the name of Richard Garriot's house?
How many virtues are there in Ultima IV?
What can change the nature of a man?
What did MCA do before he got hired by Interplay?

It shall be glorious.

Someone drove his ATV into the ground. lololz

I'll try to recover it when the server resets.

Anyway I've driven/rode on almost all the vehicles on Dayz now, just missing the V3S Civilian and boats, I've seen a boat but it was stuck on the shore. Trying to get a fast one and sail to the island to the south east.

Edit: recovered ATV, plus I got your tractor.

 

This heartbeat thing is fucking me over big time. People are shooting at me on sight and a few have run away even after I told them I was friendly.

It's because you're eeevil.
Wanna hop in and join us on our quest for crashed helis? We're in vent right now.

 

Boring video of me finding and driving 2 boats, actually 3, but one was stuck on the shore.
I was wondering why my compass was not working then I look at the top of the screen.

 

Make a new profile help that at all?

 

Stories of hand holding and kumbaya on DayZ reddit have converted me into a bandit.

 

Linked to CD-Key I think.

 

He can always give people blood transfusions, that will help reverse it. I think dieing zero's the murders but I'm under the impression that Rocket is tracking the 'Humanity' level from character to character. Not sure if it's linked to your currently alive char or your GUID. I can say that my heart was thumping loudly while looking at him.

 

Now we have boats! There must be some super-secret island somewhere that everyone knows about where we can setup a tent and watch it get raped. I can't think of a good use for boats at the moment but it's nice to have one if we ever need it.

Helicopters also have the built in compass up top.

 

I was busy, didn't have time to even walk into a store to get a mic. Tomorrow maybe.

It is tied to humanity and doesn't reset when you die. I've murdered 50+ people. How many blood transfusions would that amount to? Choices & consequences, I guess. Live to kill, kill to live.

But I guess I can understand people's reluctance to trust when they are hearing the heart beat while reading my "friendly" message.

 

Had a good run tonight, ended with a crashed heli near palona, looted that, friend wants to log out in forest, he walks on a rock breaks every bone in his body and dies. this game

 

@Creamy, et all:What arma beta patch are you using?

 

Lord Haw Haw
Always use the latest beta patch. You can play on servers with older patch versions regardless.

 

Almost true, as I think some of the older servers aren't syncing up properly, but if you're that far out you don't want to play it anyways. When you load up on the main screen you should see the version you're running in the bottom right.

As of right this moment, it's v94444. I generally check this site before I load up:

http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php

When looking for servers, highlight it then look at the bottom right, often when it says they have version blah.blah, it's just 1.60 or an older one than advertised. If you match your beta patch to what the server is actually running (not what the description says they are running) you shouldn't get the weird debug forest reboots and all the other crap. The game is quite stable if you just match beta client to server.

We always use the lastest or second latest and play only on veteran or expert servers with 3rd personff, crosshairsff. It's actually safer that way. I believe you have a much better chance of getting killed by another player on the pussy servers.

Basically, you won't find all the hacks, cheaters, mass server nukes, etc. on those kinds of servers. Unfortunately, they're far and few between so write down the ones that update frequently and have regular reboots and don't seem fishy. The first thing I test when I get into a new server that matches the beta is to hit the NumPad Enter key, if I go into 3rd person (or see a crosshair for that matter), I abort and try another.

The server owners that actually match their description to what they're running on a regular basis are generally dedicated and worthwhile. I'd like to give you a list, but you might find our tents.

Join us on vent, otherwise, happy hunting.

EDIT: Here's a quick tip to finding good servers:

1. Install latest patch.
2. Filter for that patch (ie: 94444)
3. Sort by ping
4. Look for servers that claim to have 3dp and chff
5. Highlight the server, make sure it says veteran or expert (not in description, but down below)
6. Verify that the Arma2 patch (bottom right) is what the server description says it is
7. Once in-game, hit NumPad Enter to make sure you don't go into 3rd person
8. Write it down for future reference if it meets all of the above criteria.

Just over two weeks ago there were around 500 servers, apparently there are now over a thousand. Good luck.

One last tidbit, you can look in the forums for banned/blacklisted or cheating servers once you've found a few favourites.

Good luck.

 

Would be fun to set up a tent on an obvious spot on an island, mark it on the map with "TENTS" and then snipe would-be thieves in the legs from shore. Maybe leave some bandages in the tents so they don't count towards murders, or just have VOTS kill them

 

Awesome thanks for the info guys!

I've heard that Skalisty Island is chock full of clan tent cities, so maybe a raid is in order.

 

If that's the case we should probably go in with nothing save for a makarov a piece with an extra magazine, so we can carry more out and so whatever we lose at most is a makarov.

 

And our dignity.

And Vent's empty as usual. Seriously, does no one play this at 8 PM? ( or 2 PM in the US whatever)

 

I'm usually on a little after 1700 (UTC -5:00)

 

I hear that if you pick up a weapon from a cheater, battleeye will ban your cdkey forever.
