yea in one video rocket said he removed the starting guns to see if it would make people group up at the start but all he really needs to do is make is so the cities are infested with zombie hoards and make it really difficult to explore built up areas.


do the same at the airport etc but not so bad in the small country villages

Yeah exactly... that would also then have the effect that both the cities and the outlying more rural areas are both dangerous but for different reasons:

- Cities dangerous alone due to the high concentrations of zombies; leads to organised groups of survivors working together to not get eaten and find supplies (which are also more plentiful in cities)

- Rural areas dangerous because with less zombies it is more viable to survive alone or in smaller groups and therefore it resembles more closely the existing DayZ ethos; where other survivors are just as likely to hold you up or ambush you for the loot you just raided the big city for as they are to want to team up with you
 
I changed all my settings from high to normal to get an FPS boost, but now everything in the distance is quite blurry, making it difficult to spot people. Does anyone know what setting I should change to fix this?
 
There'd be more teaming up and helping each other if there was a communication facility to replace the omitted (from the mod) side chat.

I'd suggest CB radios be part of the loot table; with one a player can use side chat to send out messages but only other players with a radio can see them. Text would have to be used instead of voice for varying reasons IMO.

New maps.....I'd love to see a replica of a real life place which has towns and a city or two. A Japanese island would fit nicely....small enough for the game and a real life incident to blame the virus on.
 
Any of you OCUK guys got group of lads who team up and play etc?

Looking for some more peeps to tag along with. Dunno maybe you guys have IRC chat or something facebook group anything? i'm just running around solo with a mosin sniping zombies and talking to odd player.
 
Christ. I'd been alive for days. Had full military gear, M4. Plenty of supplies. I've been helping people out when I can. Was in the hospital in Electro, heard someone reloading but thought nothing of it.

Went to the roof, turned the corner, went to put my hand up but too late, they'd already decided to kill me there and then. :(

All for nothing. Day Z <3
 
Is this a type of vest/body armour that can be used? Not seen this type before and no matter what I did I could not put it in my inventory?

It doesn't seem surprising that people just kill each other on sight most of the time because really that's all the game has...

Okay you might say, you can instead team up with some people if you can find anyone friendly... Great! And what do you do with that group of people? Travel around the map looking for other people... to... kill... on sight... oh :p

Realistically I think the best thing they could do would be to work on it so that the zombies are really quite seriously formidable opponents... As in if you meet a group of them on your own you are in big trouble, and cannot get away from them without some pretty serious efforts... The idea being that the zombies are deadly enough that the only realistic chance of surviving for any length of time would be to try and find other survivors and team up. So a random unarmed guy with a tin of beans and an axe is going to be more use to you alive...

There are elements of this in the mod but I don't feel its enough... You can pretty easily just run away from even the largest groups of zombies and it's just not too difficult to survive on your own...

I've always thought the name of the game was to survive... So that's what I do, survive by any means possible.
 
Tis true, only fun thing to do is shoot other people. Certainly not fun running around villages with maybe 1 useless zombie in if you're lucky.

Played breaking point on arma 3 last night, how the hell is this not more popular than dayz standalone ? It has all the features I expect from dayz, tons of zombies and obviously a massively superior engine. Only downside is that the map is too big.
