Jason1 10 Posted May 15, 2012 Enjoy guys! this is some great footage of night time game play in dayz, this for me is the most thrilling and scariest it has gotten as towards the end we have at least 100+ zombies chasing us through the trees. awesome ending as well.

rocket 9 Posted May 15, 2012 I don't really understand how I am supposed to play this : P That's the whole point, there is no right way to play it - you decide for yourself. Concepts like PvP or PvE and etc... don't really fit well, because its not a structured gameplay environment in that respect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SWAT_BigBear 0 Posted May 15, 2012 People should read the basic guides listed at the DayZ Mod website forum, I found many useful hints there. Once I learn to watch for "key spots.. camping bandits", I should be able to go a long way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sniper pilot 36 Posted May 15, 2012 2. Closely related to that is the "coast lurking". There are people that just sit around the spawn points, killing newly spawned player. Again, what the heck is that for ? They don't have stuff at all, and it's not as if you can't get these things from almost anywhere.. Easily "fixed" by more spawn points/ randomized spawns Enjoy guys! this is some great footage of night time game play in dayz, this for me is the most thrilling and scariest it has gotten as towards the end we have at least 100+ zombies chasing us through the trees.awesome ending as well.

b00tsy 28 Posted May 15, 2012 Played it for a bit to get an impression and I really like the effects and sounds! Also the crawling zombie animations are cool (reminds me of the Fallout Ghouls). I do think the zombies are to fast (for my taste), they don't feel that mindless when they detect you, they run very fast directly towards me (atletic zombies?). Also having a hard time finding weapons. I was at a military camp where I saw ammo crates and AK's, but non were selectable/usable. Definitely gonna play it some more!

Alwarren 2767 Posted May 15, 2012 I derive pure pleasure out of stalking live prey and shooting survivors and jacking their shit Am I the only one that things that's sick? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jedra 11 Posted May 15, 2012 Am I the only one that things that's sick? Maybe, maybe not. One thing is for sure that in the post-apocalyptic world there will be folk like this. They would be the reason people banded together - safety in numbers and all that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kremator 1065 Posted May 15, 2012 (edited) I think it is fine, however, I WOULD want to be able to avenge my death on these bandits later on. With no names above people it becomes VERY difficult to hunt them. Even worse is that when killed, you have to leave the server to rejoin another one, only to come back again with basic weapons. That said, I wouldn't change it. The game brings out the best/worst in people. Yesterday I played it for the first time, and can I just say AWESOME. I very nearly actually shit myself with fear (I was close to touching cloth at that point anyway!) - something that hasn't happened since the early days of DoomTM. So well done Rocket and team. At one point I had just picked up a sniper rifle, then got chased by about 20 Zeds. Having been badly wounded, with my screen shaking (and nowhere close to a hospital) my sniper rifle was useless - just amazing gameplay! EDIT: Question for the Devs and the server usage. I have seen some locked servers and I reckon that this is a GREAT idea. Password protecting them does make sense (if you are a clan) however, there would need to be a greater goal as it is unlikely that you own clan will gank you! Is password protecting the server allowed? Edited May 15, 2012 by Kremator Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jedra 11 Posted May 15, 2012 Even worse is that when killed, you have to leave the server to rejoin another one, only to come back again with basic weapons. You don't have to leave the server - you just need to go back to the unit selection screen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maddogx 13 Posted May 15, 2012 So, according to armedzone.com and Kotaku this mod is going to be part of Arma2 1.61? :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
froggyluv 2136 Posted May 15, 2012 So, according to armedzone.com and Kotaku this mod is going to be part of Arma2 1.61? :D Good news for me - I have a delicate install (some Steam, some disk + Ramdisk) and for whatever reason can only play Beta.exe rather then standard 1.60.exe, so cant join any servers. Looking foward to trying this mod out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
purepassion 22 Posted May 15, 2012 So, according to armedzone.com and Kotaku this mod is going to be part of Arma2 1.61? :D I have read it as well tough I think they are rather talking about engine and multiplayer/stability fixes to improve the mechanics of the mod :) But anyways, it's awesome!

Guest Posted May 15, 2012 So, according to armedzone.com Thats not Armedzone, thats Armedzone streaming Armaholic news! And nope, no idea what it actually means but there is enough for speculation :) Also see this: http://games.on.net/article/15603/I_didnt_want_any_sense_of_balance_at_all._I_wanted_it_to_be_an_anti-game_Dean_Rocket_Hall_on_Day_Z_Part_1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paecmaker 23 Posted May 15, 2012 I dont know if there are a thread for problems with dayz so sorry if this is in the wrong thread. When I play I cant see any zombies, its like they dont exist. But I can still find loot and I can also see other players, just not zombies. On the debug screen it shows that there are zero zombies. If anyone knows if there are anyway you can fix it.

johanna 11 Posted May 15, 2012 Damn, i just sit here laughing of happiness, BIS finally hit the audience that would not buy ARMA in the first place. And now, those players is eering round the forests of chern typing - God i´m so lost, i´v never been lost in a game before, this is creepy... - What, there is an airport inland? What 2 hrs walk? What is this game? - Hey guys, im soo happy, i just found another village! What, there is 50 more? - where am i? what, navigate by the stars? Im so happy that arma´s outstanding atmospheric is getting out there, waking up players that have been playing shit ported crap games for to long. I love how BIS is acting quickly and put some time to polish this mod. They should really pay attention on the feture where your loadout is saved to a database.

Nicholas 5 Posted May 15, 2012 DayZ has brought in lots of people, there are so many DayZ servers that are all full. The only downside is that most of them are assholes and not the nice, courteous ArmA players. I was just in a server where a guy was bragging about his job, how many Facebook friends he had, and how big his d*ck was. Yesterday, I approached another player and told him I wasn't going to shoot. He shoots me and just walks away, didn't even loot me. ---------- Post added at 14:48 ---------- Previous post was at 14:43 ---------- I just counted 120 DayZ servers, most of them being completely full at 50 players.
