**** New Official DayZ Thread *****

Standalone is looking like it could turn up soon.

Steam DB has been updated quite recently, which lines up with some dubious screenshots via a german site showing Steam Early Access banners and such.
 
I think the screenshots that surfaced earlier were proven to be fake. But the sa release does look like its gathering momentum. Next week is looking possible...who knows..been waiting 15 months so far....

Edited for you. :D


Seriously, the sanctioning of the SA was in order for BI to get the mod onto a simple, easy to install file instead of the headache that was DayZ mod in the beginning, which required A2, A2 OA and a degree in computer physics to install it.

Of course they were going to iron out some bugs and stuff too.

Then, for whatever reason (Rocket obviously wanted the project to last longer, as long as possible) they (BI) agreed to let the spoiled brat create a completely new game instead of a touched up version of the mod. Unfortunately for BI the train has already departed and the game will probably flop upon its release.

All of the above is how I saw it, from my perspective.

He's the "spoiled brat" that not only sold them a ****-tonne of copies of Arma 2 + OA, but the mod has even spilled over to Arma 3 in the way of Zoombies, so he's helped sell a few copies of that too.

I'm not going to say whether it will flop or not. I for one am looking forward to it and hopefully can have some of the friendly and crazy experiences I've had so far in DayZ.

I believe he spat his dummy out over that, hence the name Zoombies.

Truth be known, I really hope it's a great game and the delays made worth it, but I can't help but have the attitude I have after reading and watching updates on the SA.

The game is being made far too tedious for my liking, but then it's just my opinion. The tedious stuff could be what makes the game, as I'm sure there's lots of gamers that prefer that stuff over the fun stuff.
 
We have created some launcher files to enable you to connect directly to our 3 servers without having to add any lines in DayZ Commander for the custom maps as well as regular DayZ Epoch Chernarus

Download the following file

MGT Launcher files

1403424_10152639933476494_323075196_o.jpg


Once opened with WinRar, move the 3 files (MGT Epoch, Epoch Taviana and Epoch Panthera) into your Arma 2 directory where all your mods are and create desktop shortcuts if you like.

Note, you will need Epoch 1.0.2.5, Panthera 1.8 and Taviana.com 2.0 installed from DayZ Commander first.

When clicking it will take you straight into our server ensuring you have the correct mods running with none of the hassle of writing command lines in DayZ Commander.

We look forward to seeing you in game

This is a cool idea nice work. I bet if you sat and looked at how dayzc checks etc you could probs work out how to auto check for updates via a batch file as well.

Seems like a pretty popular Panthera server, Dave? One of the few epoch ones?

I think it's the only one that uses Panthera 1.8 from Commander

Yes, I had a moment and though this up! :D
 
If you wanted to be really smart you could make a java launcher just for MGT. Not sure if you know java or even python but plenty of guides on how to make a simple box with click buttons.
 
how hilarious is this guy. he does live dayz on twitch and is such a comical guy.

*** two words into the video and it starts swearing, a bit more thought next time please *** - Will Gill

on reddit everything bar alien abduction :p

played the mod for first time today for a few months nothing like slaying groups of people and watching them rage :D
 
Hi guys, really interested in trying this out. Need a game thats totally different to the norm and something to really get my teeth into. Caught DayZ on YouTube video and thought it might be interesting.

I have Arma2 so is it then just a case of downloading and installing the DayZ mod and creating a profile over on their site?

DayZ isn't really like the youtube vids. Most of the time you're just wandering about aimlessly though empty fields.
