I really want to get this thread to a new page so I don't have to look at that horrifying anime paper cutout tongue thing anymore.
DayZ - zombie apocalypse online FFA permadeath survival Arma II mod
- Thread starter Spat_triate
- Start date
well we used to run a pretty great team in the GAF mumble from time to time, too bad everyone is dead.

I stopped playing when I heard the game was due out in a few months (i.e. last Christmas).
Unfortunate that the release date keeps slipping. Don't get me wrong, it's great that there'll be a lot of improvements when we finally get it, but if I've got to wait I'd rather know then having it pushed back every 2 months or so.

Would anyone form GAF group old or new, be willing to play for a day or two, one of these upcoming weekends?

I dont see why not. We really need to get the band back together.
Speaking of dayz, I see origins has some serious upgrades including basebuiding, building houses, pickaxes, and all kinds of shit. I've been watching psyndicate on his latest videos and it looks pretty neat.
Too bad I have no free time in my life. I would love to sink a weekend into building. If we could only have a server or choose a server, it would be fun to start getting a character and items together slowly.
Hacking is still a thing. Maybe not as bad but last night I had an angry hacker who couldnt live with losing his gear so he went invisible and killed me
And heres a link to the Breaking Point thread over on the DayZ forums. I really like the changes. And this, like origins, continues to get updates. Plus it has like 600 new guns with new sounds for just about everything. Oh and working dogs. Cant forget about those dogs.

I just converted another console peasant, so we're playing vanilla Cherno (four of us total now).
We found a server that has lots of vehicles and loot drops, and AI bandits(!). It's also low population, so it's perfect to start on.

Peeking my head in after a session with Escape From Butcher's Bay...Now I don't know fi I should re-install ARMA II or continue?!
Breaking Point sounds damn awesome...Origins, awesome. Any of the OG DayZ crew playing them?
We played For a good while tonight. Ill try to get some video soon of our sessions. Biggest thing for me with Breaking point is that just because there are 600 new guns doesnt mean you are tripping over them. Just adds a variety of weapons at play. And tasers is one of the best starter gun ever.

Whenever this thread gets bumped I'm always hoping to see news on the Stand-Alone.

Yep I'm itching to get playing again. But I refuse to run the risk of getting grief'd by hackers again. Eff that.
You're not alone..... I'm still holding off the mod so I can have a very nice surprise with SA.

Then you'll never play DayZ again, regardless of platform.
Eh, right now it's a rampant wasteland of dead bodies due to hackers. White listing and new SA server arch should take care of that.

huh? The Standalone should address most of that.
Mod support wont be for a while. Or atleast after alpha
Finally got geared up - DMR, M1911, Compass, Map, with some nice camo clothes and enough food and water for a while.
Started running to Vishnoye so I could get a dog and half way through the woods a hacker teleports to me and shoots me in the back. I spin around and get a headshot on him and nothing happened, so he laid in another five or so shots in to my torso.
So I think I'm done for a while.
I would be happy if there was never any mod support for Standalone with absolutely no scripting abilities. I think it'd be worth it to get rid of this bullshit because it fucking ruins this game.

Seems someone has stolen are Tacos. And Gaf sets up an ambush to retrieve our cargo...er man.

Objectifying me? Check your privilege.
EDIT: Finally watched this. Holy shit I HATE my voice. So much lisps. So many SSssSSssSSssSS noises.
Sony have approached them for PS4 port/exclusivity mentioned in a recent interview. If a deal was actually struck we don't know.

New to PC gaming and I am extremely intrigued by the 'concept' of this game (LOVE The Walking Dead)... is there still a good community for it? Is the game still plagued by hackers? Most importantly is it noob solo friendly? (lol, no rl friends to play with).
I really want to try this game out and like it but at $25 USD for Arma II I want to be able to enjoy it.
Any advice appreciated!!

It wouldnt shock me if Rocket doesnt even play DayZ
As someone who just started playing DayZ this month and is pretty LTTP, I can say that solo play will be pretty tough and discouraging for you.
For the most part, the plague of hackers can be sidestepped completely by installing Commander and sorting yourself into low population servers that give you some freedom from DayZ veterans. The design of the health system in particular encourages cooperative play due to the need of having a second player to administer healing items (blood bags/transfusions).
That being said, if you have a fairly experienced buddy and a low ping/population server then you can have a great deal of fun even if you die a bunch of times on your first few sessions.

hnnng random fog creeping in and out over time would be amazing for adding on atmosphere to dead towns.
I know that some of the features of Arma 3 were ported back to the Take-On Helicopters engine specifically for use in DayZ. I hope this is one of them.
Also quote to find my latest dump of stuff for anyone bothering to hop on Breaking Point.

Wow, that fog is a literal game changer. Completely changes how you navigate and could even make you feel a bit safer in certain situations. Hope it makes it to DayZ.
I really just want to give rocket my money.

That would be pretty sweet to have it roll in over the coast and blanket the cities while higher ground is clear.
Still looks really flat though.
