***Dayz: Stand Alone Thread***

Last edited:
Found my first chum today without killing each other on sight! Was on the airfield W of Cherno and had taken a min out to sit down in a tent and eat some Tuna as there was no one about. As soon as I started to eat a kitted up player walks into the tent with a Mosin and I thought, that's it, I'm stuffed.

He ran off though! I went up to search the control tower and heard a little voice from below the tower saying "coming up, please don't shoot" and it was the same dude.

We teamed up, scavenged the airfield and then headed up to the military base to the NW hacking zombs along the way. Was quite cool but then the server glitched and I got kicked back to the servers screen and couldn't remember what random server I'd chosen in the 1st place to rejoin :( (it doesn't seem to save them in the History tab).

Wouldn't mind teaming up again, I'm probably a bit older than the average gamer so don't have any mates who play PC any more. Anyone who fancies a game, I'm Voodoo Ted on Steam.

This may be a stupid n00b question but when I watch the DayZ vids online they are obviously using a different chat client other than the 'Press Caps' chat - what is this and how do you configure who is on the chat channel in game?

Hi Durbs, most likely will be one of the 3 main voice communication software's Ventrillo, Teamspeak & Mumble.

Come in handy when there's a group of you trying to meet up.

Happy Gaming Oldman ;) !

Yup, does look cool! And the whole finding spray cans to tart up your gear idea is a real good one. Looks like we only get the Chamber option now to chamber a single round whereas before there were both Load and Chamber options (I think!).

When I first picked up the spray can I thought I could do some graffiti on the wall but sadly no :( Would have been a cool touch if you could.
 
^^ Created by Dean Hall... Dean Hall productions presents a Dean Hall game in association with the Dean Hall mod created by Dean Hall, did I mention that Dean Hall is great?

I know this is far from the only medium where one person can take all the credit, but I always find it annoying... Clive Barker... Tom Clancy... feels like they are trying to just gloss over all the other hardworking people who did much of the work, or they just love to hear and see their own name written everywhere. At least it's not gone that far to where the title is "Dean Hall's DayZ" (yet)

Now before the usual lot jump down my throat... it's fine... this isn't an attack on you, I'm just saying this is the impression I get from any title where the one lead individual seems to be trying to ensure their name is always front + centre
 
Just died for the third time since the patch without hearing a single dam thing untill about 10 seconds later. Also lost a lot of blood along the way due to zombies magically appearing in front of me. Its unplayable for me in this state. Surely I can't be the only one experiencing this? :(

Petty.

He created the game/idea.... he sold the rights to Bohemia, but still takes royalties on it, so of course he should be named on there.

Actors or Musicians who have minor parts in songs dont leave their names off of things?

Jay-Z ft. Kanye West (having a **** in the background, not doing anything else, but thats me)

Lets just stick to game stuff, if I was a noob to the forums and or game, this would be the last thread id want to read through as its a bunch of girls bickering and trying to get kudos for the most irrelevant points ever made.
 
Back on topic my earlier question is there two DB's now? for our characters. Ie one for Hardcore one for Regular mode. If I go on a hardcore server this evening and play for a few hours. Is my char on the "Regular Mode" server I play on going to be effected in anyway ?

DG do you have any info on this one had a quick Google cant seem to find anything that relates to the standalone. Regarding this.
 
There is more then one Database. I think its dependant upon which brand the server is. For example 'Dayz UK brandname A' will have 1 database, which is different from Dayz UK 'brandname B'

Well at least this is what i've experienced.
 
I do have to say at the moment, i'm struggle to understand the point of the game.

You gear up and then you either camp noobs, help noobs or kill the campers. Its almost like:

Start > Scavenge for loot while avoiding most players > Got good loot, go and find players to kill or help > Die and rinse repeat.
