***Dayz: Stand Alone Thread***

Made my way around the Airport - only found same gear that I had (but less worn/damaged) so swapped it.

Got a First Aid bag and an Ammo box; didn't have the space for a defib though.

Can you only carry an M14 OR a Mosin?

Also, Bayonet doesn't fit the M14... sad times!

Thanks for offer Neoni, but siding with cut-throats will only add to the paranoia :p

I carry 2, i have an M4 in my hands, and a Mosin with Long Range Scope as primary, incase i run into close combat needs, i also have a pistol.

You can carry 3 guns (one in hands) but if you use tuna/change weapon it drops to the floor, but i usually only drop it for (eating/sniping etc)

and don't be daft, got a 5/6 man team! and we have some epic fights, we had a fight other day 5 guys holding up a house, and we were 3 vs 5, was brilliant

You can get bayonet for the M4 :)

Ditch the defib, they don't work at the moment :(
 
When the game eventual goes Beta/Release, I hope there are incentives to groups and working together. Super rare items, quests/missions, special zombies, ability to own towns and ransack/destroy others etc.

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?

Maybe one of the two texture settings ?
 
Spent about 3 hours last night collecting weapons and gear just for my guy to be shot near the army base at the bottom of the map, total waste of time!

You say waste of time but what about the guy who shot you, he probably just came on, ran to the army base and picked up all this new gear!
 
Aaargh, been playing this for a few days and finally got a character tooled up with guns and decent kit after a good number of hours play.

Just shut the game down (leaving my guy in a safe place), got a bite to eat, opened the game again, my character was showing ok on the splash screen then clicked play: black screen "you are dead". Whyyyyyy!

Does this happen a lot, how do you keep a character going? :(

Yes!!! Actually ignore that. After a few restarts where all I could get was a blank screen and "You are dead" its suddenly opened with my guy back as he was with all his gear. :D

The joys of Alpha.

That is my biggest worry - despite the PC being fairly good (in my sig) there's still about 10-15secs of time where I think my character is ingame, but I cannot see what the hell is happening due to the splash loader.

Often just a few seconds like that time when you log in and it is nighttime, and have to fumble around for your nightlight... lethal!

That isn't a waste of time, thats DayZ. The waste of time is getting axed by some spastic when you haven't even got a backpack or a weapon.

Has anyone else noticed that NO ONE communicates in the standalone? I try and talk to people and just never seem to get any reply either in voice or chat.

Actually went and played the mod for a bit yesterday and I think I'm going to give the standalone a break because it really isn't any fun in comparison yet. I know people will say "Its an alpha" again and again but honestly? I wouldn't consider it deserving of even the term Alpha for the stage of development its in right now. In most alphas the game is basically finished and its just software stuff/crashing etc that needs dealing with before Beta testing can deal with all the little niggles. At the moment the Standalone has huge game bugs, dozens of software/general issues and next to no content.

you know one of the f keys put's your hands in the air like you are surrendering? I think it's f2.

most people will probably shoot you anyway though in dayz
 
I've put 100's of hours into the Origins mod over the last year or so and with some friends playing standalone I decide to get it to play with them.

What a waste of money, it is nowhere near as polished or featured as the mod is. I hardly see any zombies, there's very few guns and no vehicles at all.

I understand it takes time and it will get there, but I can't help but feel cheated out of 20quid right now.

I'm sure a lot of you are loving it and I'm positive over the year or two it'll turn into a much better fulfilled game, just right now I'd rather stick to the mods as they are a much better experience imo.

The game is in Alpha. it even says this on the store page, did you somehow miss that or just ignore it?

What the developers say:
“DayZ Early Access is your chance to experience DayZ as it evolves throughout its development process. Be aware that our Early Access offer is a representation of our core pillars, and the framework we have created around them. It is a work in progress and therefore contains a variety of bugs. We strongly advise you not to buy and play the game at this stage unless you clearly understand what Early Access means and are interested in participating in the ongoing development cycle.”

Had a good time last night playing with a friend. When I first spawned, I had no idea what I was doing. I saw a zombie in middle of the road and said on TS "Hey! I've found a person! He's running towards me!" "Are you sure he's not a zombie??" "OHhhhh, poo yes he is"

I tried fighting with my fists but got hit and started bleeding and he didn't want to die and so ran into a nearby house. My friend found me but then we both got mauled by zombies. We respawned, quite far from each other so decided to meet up in a town half way.

We met up drank some water and headed off more inland. We found a house which we explored, my friend went out and ran across the road where he met another guy. "quick get over here some other guy shall we kill him??"

My friend said in game "are you alone?" to this new guy. I came running around into middle of the road where he then replies. "Errr... yes... but I see you're not..." He sounded concerned.

My friend on TS was saying "Hey shall we kill him I want his axe?" I said "nooo we can't it's not nice"

So we explored the town together and agreed we'd try and get to the airfield.

We went in on building in the town, we split up in a house and our new friend encountered another player. He was saying he has a gun and was telling the other person to turn around. I was on top floor of the building and was looking to jump out the windows but couldn't and had no choice but to go back. I got out my axe and ran into the other room and immediately started attacking this new guy.

"ohhh poo a guy with an axe..." My friend also catches up and helps with the kill.
After killing him we asked "Sorry about that was he your friend?"

"No! Definitely not my friend!!"

We travelled along a road for a bit and we went into a house for safety whilst he looked at a map. The server then crashed and we lost our buddy :(

We got to the airfield and there was nobody there and so looted it a few times server hopping.

Today, he lost his stuff due to some glitch and he had to start again.

We met up at the airfield and I gave him a spare gun I was keeping for our other friends. We made our way to the airfield and was near a building when we heard a gunshot.

"WAS THAT YOU??!!" he said
"no was it you??" I said
"might have been me actually accidently" my friend said

We went into the first building, thinking nobody was around. We went to the top, then as we were heading down we heard footsteps somewhere.

"IS THAT YOU??!!"
"NO! I heard something too!"

So we camped on the middle of the stairs for a bit when some guy comes running in. We pumped him full of bullets and my friend looted him whilst I overlooked the door. He had a rifle!

We explored some hangers and we were heading back to head to the other building where there was a new guy standing over the body of the guy we killed a few mins ago. We killed him on sight.

I don't know why but if I see someone with a gun, I'm going to shoot them!

We are now heading to some other place in the middle of the map hoping for more loot.
