Crossbow. I think that's it.

Okay, for those of you in the Mumble server, I set up the rooms so that multiple groups can sit in different sub-channels and communicate amongst themselves, but if needed, every channel can link to each other so everyone as a whole in the DayZ channel can communicate with each other (i.e: for mass groupings, events, bandit hunts, whatever).

This avoids the problem of people having to move mumble channel by tabbing out so often and such. Instead, feel free to type in game or msg me to 'link' the channels if something must be said.

Thanks for the help Nabs!

Which server, to clarify?

[CHEEZMO™]

Crossbow. I think that's it.

I've heard people talk of silenced pistols and even a silenced sniper rifle. Seen some guys carrying around a silenced MP5 in some videos, too.

There's a silenced MP5, or at least I've found mags for it.

Oops, should have linked it in my original post. This one.

Also, I haven't seen anyone else say anything about making the OP so I figure I might as well - Max and I are working on a makeshift OP to help organise all the helpful tips, images, and possibly impressions that people have been posting into one convenient location.

Good idea abou the OT; now I'm assuming the main server, "Chi.eoreality" is the one people are using? Sorry for the dumb questions, I was in there last night and didn't see DayZ rooms nor were people talking about it. But first time actually using Mumble.

Yep! Don't worry about it. You probably joined a room for another game haha :)

[INDIGO_CYCLOPS]

Most likely, which room is used for DayZ?

Duh, wrong port #, that's why. Thanks Conceptor, forced me to look closely. Will be AFK for a few.

[legacyzero]

OH YEAH! Figured out why my stream was lagging, not producing audio and looked like shit. Tonight is going to be DELICIOUS.

gad dammit! And I cant play tonight!

FUUUU

Where is that stream link? LOL

If I were in charge of BIS right now I would immediately green-light this mod for a stand alone game, running on the Arma 3 engine, yay for fully explorable buildings and better animations. Then when Arma 3 releases switch over the alpha/beta from Arma 2 to Arma 3 to help boost sales. Then when Day Z is fully released give players who have bought or buy Arma 3 a discount to pay like 20 dollars for Day Z and then 40 dollars for whoever just buys Day Z alone.

This way Day Z gets to be a fully stand alone game, but they can still capitalize on it and use it to get more Arma 3 sales but not force people to buy Arma 3 just for a mod/addon. Which has a decent chance of happening since AO doesnt require Arma 2 to run.

Yeah, I hope they actually wait and use the full potential of ARMAIII

[legacyzero]

Who was in the group from last night that met up at the Cherno Super Market and then went into the north forest before logging out? I haven't played all day so I want to know if you guys have moved on already. I really want to travel inland.

I was there. It was awesome once We actually got to cherno. Gaf needs a group vehicle LOL.

[Enduin]

Same, the lack of explorable buildings is kind of a major issue for a Zombie survival game, both from a scavenging and exploration perspective to the ability for players to in the future take control of buildings/areas and fortify them and create player communities or bases. It really hurts the experience when you know all 5 building types that you can enter and then ignore every single other building type. The world is too lifeless, so hopefully that can be improved in the future with new features like painting and other abilities for the player to interact with things and in Arma 3 with so many different building types being fully explorable.

[DeathCubeK]

On UK1, I stalked some kiddies from the shadows of the night; they were trying to fix a helicopter in Elektro for 2 hours. Got some good gear going through those houses. I rarely shoot zombies now, I just take my time and sneak by. But just now, after I was already running away from Elektro because shit got hot, a bandit got me. GG bandit. Have fun with that loot.

Holy shit! I was there. I was making out that I was north near stary but I was watching them. I sniped one of them on the roof and they all started arguing, that Jay was getting really wound up lol. Then a hacker displayed all of our locations on the map. So I bugged

I stayed around. It was amusing.

Just bought the steam version of Arma 2 for this game. What have I gotten myself into....

Prepare. Make sure to follow the tips everyone has posted.

Watch me stream.. unconsciousness. Logged out fine and logged in to find myself on the ground unconscious.

Anyone want to let me know if they can hear the audio?

[Extollere]

I'm in! I've been walking around in the dark for 40 minutes and come in contact with nobody :( Is it possible to join someone? I want to play with a buddy somehow..

[Enduin]

Nope, no audio.

I just did the same, eventually got into a server, and spent about 3-4 hours running about with some cool randomers.

Ended up only two of us left, the other guy kept passing out from blood loss, and eventually died in a fight at a barn, I had no ammo and could only watch from a distance as three zombies ate him up.

Once they finished and wandered off, I went back to the barn, got a shotgun, rifle and some ammo and logged out.

It's now 5am and I need sleep.

[Tesseract]

i was just shot and killed execution style.

[kodt]

Belh, had an Alice Pack, Hunting Rifle, Revolver, Compass, Watch, tons of food and ammo. 3 canteens of water and got picked off by someone using a shitty pistol, didn't even see him.

I was low on health from accidentally falling off a ledge earlier b/c of some glitchy movement.

Sucked, almost caught up with this boat I was tracking, ready to snipe them if necessary.

I dont think that 80% would survive the transition. The system requirements for Arma 3 are pretty high end.

[Proxy]

/salute to mumbleGAF. Seriously though we need to learn to count though. :D

lol that was some funny shit man.

[childplease]

Airfield Raid was successful we lost one person but managed to kill all of the survivors in the airfield and get sweet loot. Gabe Newell was able to quit in time however.

Are you guys still playing?

[bengraven]

I hate to say it but give me STALKER with this type of survival mechanics and it trumps this... I love DayZ though.

I've honestly restarted Stalker: SoC because of this game.

Seriously wish there was a Day Z mod for Stalker.

[childplease]

We just quit we were on euro 3 server.

[Enduin]

Maybe, but a lot of the limitations of the Arma 2 engine are pretty glaring. Like I said in another post, the lack of fully explorable buildings is and will only become increasingly problematic. Plus the full retail version at best probably wouldnt come out until a year from now if not longer. Thats a long time for people to upgrade their rigs.

[edible_candle]

No audio for me either.

[bengraven]

It needs to be a seperate game.

Yes, they probably like that they're drawing attention to ARMA with this, but what's better than a decent franchise? A decent franchise and a very popular franchise. Do them seperately.

[TheNiX]

No audio for me either.

Fuck, I'm not even sure why. It was working earlier.

[birdcity]

Had a blast, man. Glad I survived to the end, even if I did lose connection at the end. Hilarious fun and scares tonight :D

They are going to make a custom island at some point, so explorable buildings are still on the list of things to do, but that will cost in performance drop. And even on my i7 gtx560 the game is almost on its knees on islands with massive cities and populated houses. Takistan, i think is a good mix of both worlds. Less doors too.

haha yeah seen G. Newell log in the other day, wonder if its the man himself.

It'll be something the dev team will have to decide and will probably depend a lot on how much stabler an engine Arma 3 is over 2 and if that is enough to offset the increased hardware requirements.

That would be difficult considering that this game IS Arma with alterations.

[Arucardo]

Doubt it, we saw him log in too a bunch of times. I heard Newell just recently say in an interview that he basically doesn't have time to play any games and when he does it's Dota 2. Only reason I can see it actually being him is if he's wondering why Arma is climbing the top sellers list and is trying the mod out.

[Enduin]

Yes a mod made for Arma 2 by an employee of the developers of Arma.

They could easily make a custom standalone version of the game.

[DTKT]

"Are you friendly?"

"Yes"

Approaches

"Get's shot"

Fuck off.

[WedgeX]

We eventually made our way there. Some guy saw us and buggered out. We saw the bodies y'all left behind.

[Trombone Zombie]

Had a fun run tonight with the GAF crew. I'm static, btw.

[INDIGO_CYCLOPS]

Great times GAF; playing with people makes the experience so much better. Looking forward to tomorrow!

[Enduin]

"Are you friendly?" "Yes" Approaches "Get's shot" Fuck off.

In the world of zombie infested Chernarus shoot first and ask questions later is the only rule to live by.

[Ferrio]

"Are you friendly"
"No" *instantly shoot them*

I need to buy this game to do that.

edit: Is it possible to bind a button to say "No" and shoot at the same time?

[bonesmccoy]

I dont think that 80% would survive the transition. The system requirements for Arma 3 are pretty high end.

And knowing ARMA games, the latest iteration of the engine would also be exponentially buggier than the one used in ARMA 2.
