Day Z MT stile
 

So i guess i'm going to pick up arma 2 and get down with some day z even though it's buggy as ----. Who else is playing other then Bryce?

I have been resisting for a while now. Our intern plays and keeps trying to get me to buy it, but I have no desire to pay $30+ to buy a game just to play a mod. I went through that buying Crysis and then Crysis Warhead/Wars in order to play Mechwarrior: Living Legends :(

I DID hear a rumor that the Arma II Free + Combined Operations expansion (paid) = functional DayZ mod, but I've been unable to confirm.

This does work and is documented on there website. How ever the game looks like ---- when using the free version. There is not a $30 package on steam that gives you both games. It popped up there in the last week as it was not there last Monday/Tuesday.

I was watching some trolololol video and some video of a group of people car jacking then kill the people in the back of a 2.5 ton truck. Made we want to be a dick =D

Yeah, there is some SERIOUS trolololololoing potential in that game. There is a Youtube video of some guys that found/hacked a helicopter in the game and just flew around massacring people

*cough*

Forgot about that....

Zombie Apocalypse Simulator at it's finest.

My gtx 680 got here today, but I won't be playing tonight. Maybe tamale. Steam chat is useful for voice chat while playing, so friend up.

My Bro is playing with a group of 6 guys. They've fixed up a few vehicles and are rolling around with night vision, killing everything in sight.

Spent an hour just trying to make it work. When I finally got in control suck, input lag is hell.

Have to dig into the config and play the real games tutorial.

Never mind, I cant even get in to a game after trying for a few days.

y u no play with me?

Finally sat down and made the game work. Spent all day dieing 10+ times and never finding a weapon.

Random join mostly, You on steam when you play?

*

Us steam just to know when people are playing. I don't get stuck in the wasteland anymore after getting out of it.

I'm scheduled to have a ds3 turned on at work in a few days. Planning on setting up a dayz server after that. Will post info when it happens.

Dayz D-Team

Started a group.

Any idea if those tents stay after a server reset?

I don't know. Seems like they don't.

We are looking for more people to play with. Posting on steam forums now looking for people. I had to restate 2 times yesterday, got fragged logging out night before then was fragged again heading for the tree line to log out after lunch... Both times with a 16 slot bad and AK with red dot.

This is why I have fallen in love with this game.

Lol.I wish I had the time to play it, but currently don't. Maybe after midnighttonight.

This game has so much potential. I find myself more excited over this buggy ass mod than the big name releases coming out.

I found a group of people, we rolling on North Carolina 3

i have a 40 person seattle server getting set up.

About to try to find that server and join it. Name is Ramblo, currently just south of the airfield about to die trying to find food.

its too fun sitting at the airfield 600m out with the 50 cal getting headshots while bandits search for loot. Just the presence of zombies really gives away your location.

Downloading ARMAII now to give it a try.

I would be less butthurt about losing all my ---- if it weren't for the fact he soaked up 15 G17 rounds to center mass and didn't die.

Fantastic, screwing around in Stary Sobor finally got an AKM with a couple mags, and I die because I glitch out in the door of a random house.

*sigh*

Also, are you gonna add the side channel to that server? Doesn't seem like there's much of a way to communicate with people.

Getting less buggy?

There was one, they removed it because you wouldn't have global chat irl. there is direct chat that if the type people 40m from you will see or you can us direct voice and people around you will hear it depending on how close they are.

As for the doors, never crawl through a door way or sprint. Also sprinting at a person will hurt, brake legs, knock out, and/or kill them.

It has gotten less buggy but the arma 2 system is very flowed and will never be perfect. It's doing a lot of things it was no programmed for and they are putting out weekly fixes based on the needs of dayz.

Well, that's irritating. I guess I see the reason for it though.

I'm still pissed about losing all my gear because I didn't feel like aggro'ing all the zombies in the town. -.-

You just have to learn how to low run though town and if you aggro how to loss them on walls and door ways. Moving slow just makes you an easy kill for other players.

I was low running though cherno and only got shot when I stopped of 2 sec to try and open a gate.

Just get some balls and crouch run around a town and see what aggros and what does not. The zombies have to be looking at you to see you. pay attention to your sound and vision markers.

So are we getting together a group on this server? Or are we all playing solo?

I have played only 2 hours this week. You can roll around on the server or find another but remember if you find a car or tent they are server site unlike your character.

I would look on dayz forums for people looking for more.

I highly recommend running around cherno and electro with a axe and hand gun learning zombie aggro and killing everyone you see. Don't worry about getting good gear as you will die a few times but it's the best way to learn the game and have some fun from the start rather then sneaking around for hours, getting a ak then dieing to a bug or aggroing a zombie from 100m away and not knowing why.

Ran around the training for a few minutes... man the pre-setup controls are not intuitive to just simply start going around.

I'll give it a few more trys though.

Cool story bro time.

I died last night and decided to log in at work and get a spawn near where I stashed my bike.

First spawn was near south air field so I ran to the military tent camp, found an akm mag and no guns. Ran over to the hangers and still nothing. Get the ACT and go stairs and see someone with a drm and revolver. Freak out and run down the stair because I don't want to lose a spawn 10k from my bike. I stop 1/2 way down and go back up and look at him again. He is spinning in place!!!! Bugged, lagged, afk, no clue. Run past him there is an ak on the ground, pick it up, it's an akm, reload it with the clip I found and pop him in his spinning face.

Start looting him, cool alice pack, drm, revolver, 5 drm mags. Get the bag open and there is an m4 halo and 5 clips, JACK POT. Look at the tools he had, sweet map, O ---- GPS!!!. Uber score of the week.

Zombie runs up as he heard the shot, hits me once and knocks me out. I bleed down to 5k blood before I was back up. Ran out the ACT and ----- logged off in a bush. Will get on when I get home and resume the quest find a cow to kill and eat.

The more I read this thread the more I feel like it's something I should be involved with...

You should :P

He then met up with me where I gave him a blood transfusion, and we moved all my ---- to main camp. NW airfield raiding time... Soon. :D

I'm convinced that running around with an axe looking for gear is the best way to play this game. If you die you only lose an axe and bag but can run to the nwaf and not care if you die while picking up bad ass gear.

Now dieing on your way out sucks.

This is pretty much how I do it. I try to spawn near the lower left and immediately head north. Once I get near the airfield I try to join games with fewer people to avoid the chance of getting picked off by snipers camping the barracks. Low hassle badass gear and lots of it. Plus if you die along the way the loss is minimal.

IS anyone playing the free version? Is it really that much worse?


EDIT: I meant the free and the Operation arrowhead version VS the Combined operations.

if you're referring to the ARMA free version + OA then no, not much worse. only difference from what I can tell/remember is player models are low res. I'm on the 'free' install and it's fine.

if you're talking about a completely free version I didn't know it existed.

So as soon as I found out about this game I wanted it, but I didnt want to drop the $30. So Ive been watching videos all day about it on yt. Mostly, FRANKIEonPCin1080p. GF says Just buy it, Im sick of listening to the guy talk on the videos

For the record I stopped playing and I wouldn't buy it.

Hacking is rampant and there is no stopping it. The anti cheap arma using is crap and server admins have had the ability to kick as we please and print servers are a no no unless you run your own hive (save) server.

I would wait for arma 3 / dayz or dayz standalone to start playing.

Side note, the bugs are worse then hackers sometimes.

I think I'm going to buy this to play with some of my homeboys who have been owning face for the past couple weeks.

Does anyone else still play? You can get in with us.

Yes, I have been looking for someone to play with. That game seems much more fun with a group than forever alone like me. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1347719008

Yeah apparently my boys post up in towns and rape people.

Waiting for Warz. Day z is not worth your time anymore. To much hacking and they can't stop it.

This!

Pretty much. I got tired of trying to kill/defend myself from invincible players. The game is a total time sink and to just lose all your gear like that gets old very fast.

I am waiting for Warz to prove it is not vaporware before I get too excited.

It wont be then end all be all zombie game we wont but it will be a good step foreword. They have had a f2p cod style shooter out for 2 years that is functional.
Warz beta should be soon.

Anyone else still playing DayZ? Namalsk, a new map, is quite fun. You gear up very quickly, and get to the good part: shooting people in the face.

Also since there are private hives everywhere, there are no hacker problems.

Been playing Warz Alpha. Like the pvp better so it doesn't suffer from a slow paced sim eng.

Holy shit, there is 7 new maps. I'm updating my game now to check it out.

Namalsk is all you ever wanted from DayZ if you like PvP.


Private hives: BMRF is my favorite right now, whitelisted, just create a forum account to get on the list. On #4 Namalsk I just got an AS50. .50cal sniper isn't very useful when there is a guy 3 feet behind you with an AK pointed at your head.
