***Dayz: Stand Alone Thread***

How funny last night was watching sacriels stream and seeing the viewers jump up from 5k very quickly, bistudio site crashed straight away due to the load and then it came on steam haha the rush to download!

Safe to say I've had no sleep and for an alpha its very good, there are no vehicles yet and they have left the zombie spawns to a minimum for launch day.

Me and my mate managed to get a couple of ma41a's and pistols with a cool looking chest holster, running around with these huge mountain backpacks full of tins and drinks, both wearing gas masks and army helmets lol we look crazy. Even though it's just come out i'm impressed with the cosmetics side of things and the change in gear and clothing. Wearing a pink hoodie and wellies is pretty cool :p

Any of you managed to handcuff another player yet? The sadistic and sick people on here will be torturing and beating bandits and other players or draining there blood lol. You can break free from the handcuffs by wriggling about lol takes a minute though.

All in all i'm well happy with this even as an alpha, the addition of vehicles will be awesome and an advance on crafting :)

Ignore the constant groans and texts that say you are hungry or thirsty, hell ignore the ones that say your going to faint!

The only time you have to worry is when the text turns red, then you have a problem and will probably faint or worse :rolleyes:
 
More stable than BF4 which I paid £100 for... says it all really!

I have every graphics setting maxed out except for blur/post processing effects as I hate motion blur, I haven't even enabled SLI (GTX 690) and I really don't need to, vsync is enabled and it hasn't dropped frames yet!
 
I secretly have two hopes for Dayz otherwise it will ruin it....

1. No helicopters. They are fun but give big groups a serious advantage over smaller groups.

2. No private hives - honestly I have not been on a private server yet where people have not abused it, be it admin maps or editing the actual database, even on public hives you would get admins rebooting the server with no warning just because they say someone flying a heli.

I wouldn't ignore those, as time went on the screen went all Nintendo graphics. Horrible.

Cant believe how stable it was for me last night. Really impressed!

Guys has anyone been down the Utes island yet. Its South east pas the light house.
 
I like the change of terrain. Always liked Chernarus the most with the respect to good tent locations, in 2+years of play I still had tents in places that no one ever found!

Dont be dissing Nintendo graphics man :D I didn't actually mean ignore them, I meant the only time you will die/pass out is when the text is red.

Are they planning on implementing health bars and food/drink icons at all?
 
Pitch black. Turn flashlight off, trying to wait for Suarez7 to get to Cherno hospital. I go up to the first floor and a guy with a motorcycle helmet and axe is looking at me. Panic. Try running straight past him up to the next floor and he has another friend waiting with a knife. End up getting trapped in a corner and being mauled.

Love it :)
 
Managed to get a spawn near Cherno, trying to get kitted out.. Just need to find ammo and I am out of there!

Nice mask :)

Little trick for the gas lamps. Turn them on while in your hand, then select something else from your active bar and it will stay on while in your pack giving you a surrounding light..

As much as I loved DayZ I'll be waiting this out I think until they release the server files so we can host it, miss the DayZ Beer Drinkers server :(

I think you will have a long wait mate, releasing the server code to everyone will just mean hackers wont it? And it will also mean servers with hundreds of vehicles and the like which is BAD...mkay!
 
I've never been overly fond of the text for the UI, sounds trivial I know but it just looks very 'amateurish' to me - may well grow on me over time though.

The more I see of this the more I think I am going to pick it up - I need a break from the general mess that is BF4 at the moment.
