***Dayz: Stand Alone Thread***

I really dont get the moaning about this game - it is what it is right now, its a case of accept that, or just wait.

There was a warning, you didnt have to pay 20 quid and at the end of the day, you will get a finished game... how many games do people stump up more for and play for less than half the time they will on this?

Im having bags of fun with my mates playing this, even though we die some times, sometimes get glitched out etc... its still fun going to places, looting up, ok atm theres not much new out there to loot, but still its not a real grind. Then once you have that, its all about what sort of 'contact/interaction' you want.

Once tihngs like hunting and cooking are in, I guarantee we willl probably spend an evening getting our kitchen up and running, sorting out food for backpacks etc

Same with vehicles, even though thats longer off... we will spend evenings putting a vehicle on the road... theres loads of potential in this game.

Right now, we generally hit a big town together, loot... meet up, share out the goods so we are all covered and we have enough to survive etc - Then head out and hit an airfield or the ship or something and hope to get some contact.

Its fun and right now, thats what games are about to me.

+1 for the new patch too - berry picking is right up our street :D

Couldn't agree more with this mate, patience is the key with this one. Stability first then start adding in all the frills later, really looking forward to all the survival stuff. It's a lot of fun to play as it is and once they start to add tents/base building and crafting it'll be a proper time sink:cool:
 
Really trying to decide whether to go with an M4 or a Mosin, have both currently but I find the inability to switch between them or use inventory items without dropping a weapon far too restrictive. I like the Mosin but its really not very reliable, its accuracy at long range is questionable (tested on an empty server against Z's it is basically impossible to guarantee a shot above 300m, with either of the pristine scopes + Bipod) and you may as well throw it for how useful it is up close. The M4 on the other hand is a pea shooter above 200m but up to that range its not "that" bad and up close it's brilliant.

I think the Mosin would be far more useful if A, its accuracy was more reliable and B, it was easier to reload, at the moment you cant reload it if there are rounds in the mag unless you fire them all or eject them which is incredibly annoying. Also it would be nice if you automatically loaded any loose ammo you have in your inventory rather than having to enter the inventory and click/drag every time, this works with M4 mags so I don't know why it doesn't with the Mosin.
 
Yeah my freind plays with a Mosin and watches over 3 of us with M4's he said it is highly inaccurate but he managed to kill 7 people on the construction site in Berzino tonight one after another lol

I love my M4 but from distance its pants and even up close its can be pretty dodgy.

I'm really not sure what you are trying to say here.

Accuracy has nothing to do with power, I didn't say anything about how powerful it is.

Mosin is the only decent gun besides the magnum and .45 from what I've found. Stupidly swapped my Mosin for a victims M4 and now I'm regretting it, shoots like the barrel is bent or something. ACOG scope is nice though, oh and he dropped a double magazine thing! :D

Had a weird experience tonight though, I was running around Cherno chasing the sounds of food being eaten, cans of pop being cracked open, magazines being reloaded and even a magnum firing and found nothing. Got so bored/irritated I started firing at zombies and running out in the open to draw some kind of response from players but nothing, no movement, no return shots or anything. That was on a 38/40 server too, are those sounds played as ambient sounds or something in standalone? Seems incredibly stupid if so.

Agreed!

The only thing I was moaning about was

PBO
Server Hoppers
Loot Respawn

Rest is fine at the moment considering it's Alpha :)

Agreed - Will be playing this once the patch is live :)

Had some fun on the CPC Altis Life server of the last couple of days - saw some familiar names including Witcher who was raging hard last night lmao :D at least the bent cop got a 24 hour ban unfortunately after he had already killed two of my group for no reason...

Last night was well funny, TJ is uploading a video so keep checking that other thread for it, some of it was comedy gold.

Yeah, that's annoying I get the cans of pop thing all the time and also zombie moans when there are none about.

I'm currently geared up and have stopped in the woods past Cherno for some water and grub and even though theres nothing about I'm sat here listening to pop, chomp, chomp, groan, pop. Its annoying as I cant relax when eating my tuna!
 
So they are adding a grand total of one gun in the update ? Lol

Yes I know its alpha, so is breaking point though and that's miles ahead of this in terms of development and features... and this without a budget of any sort.

Hmm.

The patch that comes out today is only for experimental servers is it not? from what I can tell there are no working experimental servers in Europe? The only ones I could find were 4 German servers that haven't been reset for a week (so no loot) and teleport you back to the beach after 10 minutes of running around.
