DayZ - zombie apocalypse online FFA permadeath survival Arma II mod

Inviting neogaf dayz vets to the DayZ Chernarus 500+ vehicles/100 choppers-Always day-Hillbilly deluxe loadout -Wrecked Reddit server.

Add me as a friend on DayZCommander: [NEO]Ultrazilla
 
No one man should have all that power

I jumped on that server for 15 minutes earlier and saw that you start with a double barrel, smoke grenade, grenade, map, hatchet, and an empty bottle of whiskey. Side chat was funny: seemed like they were all trying to talk in bad redneck "accents" or they couldn't type.

In my 15 minutes though I came across 8 dead bodies. I would guess the average lifetime is pretty low.
 
All these things? True.

Edit: So in other Arma 2 related news. The 1944 mod has been converted to wasteland.

Short video showing off some of the guns, cars and gameplay.

Looks cool and Psy talks about how they maybe changing the base map to one of the 1944 maps.


Now that would be cool. I may need to try this out.


Like the customization of characters, we want to allow maximum ability for the customization and development of a players weapons. As part of this, all weapons being introduced into DayZ are being redeveloped from scratch at extremely high detail.

This is good.

There be any new features in the first version of the standalone or it will be the classic DayZ? (Martin Rangelovwill)

The experience will be entirely new. There is virtually nothing that has been directly ported from the mod, everything has been redone. This wasn’t our original intention (hence the December deadline) - but it has evolved this way. We’re all glad it has!

This too

@TheBeehawk - What kind of vehicle customisation [sic] is planned?

I have only basic ideas on this currently, essentially functioning similar to the weapon attachment system we have designed. If your car has a missing or damaged door, take the door off another car. But of course, if they are different colors, you’ll see that. Each part also has various damage states, so we end up with GTA-esque damage visuals.

And this.
 
I'm down for some DayZ w/GAF, but I'm not a fan of servers that hand stuff to you on a platter, honestly. I like the long, drawn-out experience.

I haven't played much Taviana, or any of the maps other than Cherno, actually.
 
Since I got a new computer a while back I just started playing DayZ a few days ago and I have to say it's pretty great so far. Can't wait for the standalone (but I'll have to *sniff*).

Have to say that getting more than 7-15fps sure made things somewhat more enjoyable :P
 
@poopthought - Do you have any malls, hotels, prisons or bigger hospitals planned for the standalone?

Yes!


This is going to be so amazing.
 
Wanted to hop back into this with GAF. Do we still have a server?

EDIT: NVM. DayZCommander has decided it just wants to shoot out errors when I try to install it.
 
Heading into the Hillbilly Deluxe server at 6am.

To make each other easier to find, put NEO in front of
your user name.

[NEO]Ultrazilla will be mine.
 
So is the NeoGAF server a fun place to play?

We got kicked off a private hive for killing the admin.

...but only after he magically found us both(opposite side of the maps) and killed us.

Dude cried hard, I said it was part of the game, he agreed.

Then he kicked/banned us.

RIP Neogaf server. It's dead mang.
 
Yeah keep an eye out for "Cammy". Yup. Thats me. Mhhhm.


Speaking of the Gaf server. Is it still to early to tell if someone is going to make another Official Gaf Server?

Did rocket ever say how servers will be handled, when standalone comes out? If I remember correctly, it's not going to be as open as it is now.
 
Hey people, although I got 3 world exklusive pictures from the standalone version of Day Z, no one really seemed to care, when I made a interview and published them in the article (some months ago). I got them directly from Dean Hall.

Maybe you are interested in these pictures, it´s not very spectacular but interesting.

can't wait to hide at the top floor in my underwear.
 
It´s pretty amazing, the first picture. If you imagine how you hang around there, waiting for someone to shoot... nice... "surviving" or simply hunting in the cities will became very intense.
 
It's going to be amazing. Even just regular Day Z without the hackers, janky animations, warping zombies would be great. Looks like the concept is really being improved on.
 
I really need to clean up my Dayz (and arma) install -- get a lot of errors upon launching. I have Arma II and Arrowhead through steam and I just noticed we can download DayZ Mod through Steam now (as of today).
Could I backup my character data, delete and redownload everything Arma related, and then restore my character?

edit: nevermind, i see my character and gear are attached to my key rather than stored locally.
 
Is this worth getting back into?

I left when the switched to no gun start up.. but I got tired of the superfast ninja warping zombies.. when I really just wanted more of a slow moving zombie simulator.

Can you ditch zombies yet?
 
DayZ listed on Steam now.

Has anyone tried this out? Does it "work" with DayZ commander? I wonder if you can join a friend's game via Steam.

There are bugs (features) that help you avoid zombies. They have to walk indoors, and if you hide in foliage that covers your body (pine tree, big bush), they can't see you and will lose aggro.
