Welcome to Dayz :p

I always logout in one of those small shed things that you have to crawl into. Theres 100's of them all over the map. Some out in the middle of no where. Loot doesn't spawn in them so the chances of someone being in there when you come to spawn back in is limited.

hahaha yeh....back to square one lol :p. thats a good idea, well i am currently playing on the server on the first page lol.
 
I actually enjoy the start again. You can run round and not worry to much about your char, Just get a meele weapon to defend against zombies and explore. If some douche kills you on sight o well.

Soons I start to get geared i become careful, worrying about people being in buildings and behind every blade of grass. With just a tin of beans a axe and a bottle of water Ill through the center of cherno like a boss leading a horder (well I say horde this is standalone) 4 zombies behind me.
 
Bad idea logging out in an enclosed building or even close to a town because when you log back in everyone within a 100 metres (ish) will hear you reloading on log in, it will be louder the closer you are to them so your much better off running to the nearest tree line before you log out

its funny because when your in a high loot building like a prison or barracks you get silly server hoppers logging back into cream all the best gear and if you happen to be in the same building when they log in you can hear them reloading there kit and kill them before they can even raise their gun....they camplain like **** but it serves them right for server hopping in my book :D

<evil grin>
 
I met some Ukrainians tonight as I came through a town on the east coast..

First I was made to strip, then I was cuffed, laying on the floor with nothing but a pair of boxers on..

They took my blood countless times while popping pills into me to keep me alive, only for them to line up in front after they got what they wanted, aimed their weapons at me and filled me full of holes..

Dayz can be a cruel place.

Agreed its a nasty place to be, but you make your own luck in dayz

I got killed at NW airfield and sprinted back to try and reclaim my gear but when i got there there were 3 french guys in the first hanger i ran into, probably because I only had a wrench and when I saw them I pretty much put my hands up and begged for my life they let me live, they hand cuffed me and put a bag on my head {which i could see through??}and threatened to strip me and dress me up as a girl to which i replied "as long as you have high heels and stockings in my size bitches" they saw the funny side of this and force fed me food and drink before leaving me to escape the handcuffs......that's why even with the small amount of content in the game its still awesome in my eyes because of the human element...and in respect for my french tormentors i am still wearing the sack they put on my head

The server reset as I was trying to get out of my restraints and I ended up free of the cuffs and pretty kitted up after looting the airfield :)

Is steam cheapest place to get Day Z? (Obviously I know the alpha is only on Steam) but didn't know if can get any keys or anything from else where?

£20 seems a bit steep when I just wanna 'test it and see if like it'.

Thanks

To test it and see if you like it just try the mod
 
anyone remember a while ago there was a link to screenshots of nvidia control panel settings for dayz, they worked great but ive lost my settings and the link.

cheers
 
Perfect example of how being in a `heathy` state and decent gear can save yer ass.

Just outside the Factory near Polana with a clan mate. Not really paying attention when out of nowhere, like a red indian with a tomahawk comes a guy waving his axe. I get walloped and go unconcious.

My clan m8 legs it literally screaming, back into the Factory, where unbeknown to the axeman is our 3rd clan m8 who's just scoffing some food. `Screaming Paddy` (yes he's Irish, but not called Paddy) leads axeman straight to `Food-aholic`. Paddy dives off to the left & `Foody` takes him down with a mosin shot to the chest.

I'm still unconscious, waiting to die in the middle of the road and finally my other m8's come to my rescue. Patch me up with a bandage and give me a saline bag & I'm up & running again.

Only damage done was to my pristine tactical vest, everything was as it was. Filled up on food and water and started healing. 10 mins later, back to healthy and full colour screen :D

It's a frustrating game, but damn addictive. 68 hours in an Alpha is more than I ever expected :D
 
Really need to pair up with somebody else on DayZ.

I was holed up just outside of the military base south east of Vybor. Spawned and scouted it for a minute or so. Went in and checked out the barracks (skipped the main building) and was about to leave when another guy called Max scared the crap out of me as he ran past one of the rooms (he also filled his pants by the sounds of it).

After a few seconds of "friendly" between the two of us, I made my way out of the room and we proceeded to exchange small talk for a bit while we checked the last few rooms.

Left to go outside and the little git got out a pair of handcuffs and tried to cuff me. I was thankfully able to sprint away from him as he was desyncing. Made my way outside of the base and waited mosin aimed at the gap in the perimeter fence for him to pop out. Nothing, the little git combat logged.

Every time I get near that military base it's always the same :(
 
Has anybody noticed that there are lots of 3pp : off servers which are still running 3pp??

I've been trying to stick to 3pp : off and have a couple of servers on Hardcore which I use with this.

Switched to a few Regular servers marked 3pp : off but they are all enabled :(

I think that's people not realising they have the servers set up wrong or use it as a trap to entice people in.

First Person Perspective all the way! :D
 
If you filter for 3pp : off then there are lots of hosted servers that come up and these are all still active. Perhaps there has been an update behind the scenes and the hosts/admins have forgotten to turn 3pp off again.
 
Does anyone know roughly what the end game, or the general goal for this game is intended to be when its complete?

I like what it is at the moment, for whats there at least, but it doesnt feel like theres much of a point to it all in a way. Someone said pretty much the same thing in the previous page, they can add more weapons, vehicles, crafting, and stuff like that, but it still feels a little hollow. Is there nothing more to the game than a very slow PvP? Stockpile gear, kill randoms on sight for no reason, eventually get killed by a random, start again...?

If thats essentially it, im guessing i'll play it from time to time with friends, but its not really the game i'd want it to be. I guess im looking for more of a 'The Walking Dead' (tv show, not game) type of game, with a MMO RPG element, 'quests', NPCs, building a safe home and defending it from random hordes. I want to construct a place of safety, defend it and potentially abandon it if the horde overwhelms us and have to start again elsewhere. Im not really into the ARMA3 PvP with fairly harmless zombies occasionally dotted around the map. Its not surviving the zombie apocalypse, its finding an axe and then trying to stay hidden from moron bandits wanting to play their way, regardless of how others want to play.
It doesnt need to be WoW, but taking some aspects within a realistic simulation would be good. Even if that was an optional game mode or something.

I appreciate this might not be that game, but i'd rather rent a private server, get a load of mates on there, and play a zombie survival game, rather than a single game of counter strike which is spread over hours & days with fairly harmless zombies once you have an axe.

Is any of this style of play on the agenda in the future, might it be possible to play the game on a server without 'friendly fire' so humans cant hurt/kill you, as i believe the ARMA2 Mod has in the 'safe zones'? Im just wondering what the intended direction is with this, i've bought it so in that respect it makes little difference now, its just whether or not its something i'll look forward to developing into something i was expecting it to be, or just something i'll try from time to time but never really be what im looking for (playing cos mates are).

Out of interest, cos maybe im not alone, maybe i am, but how do others want this to develop? PvP focused (as i feel this is), zombie apoc survival, or something else??
 
It is PVP focused already...
Once you're fully stocked up with the best gear, what else is there to do apart from finding people to kill?

Most people seem to take all their gear to where people spawn and kill bambies
