This is pretty damn fun, and tense, but fun.

I'd pay good money for a less jank version of this running on a better engine.

[Duesy]

haha the lee enfield is a death sentence in itself

[AcridMeat]

So Orellio and I were all playing and stuff. We got cursed with the unending zombie spawns in town. Sitting in an apartment building just body after body until I eventually was downed and he was out of bullets.

Then we spawned back, had a similar thing happen, but this time we made it out of the town. Then he got sniped, I tried to find the sniper while he died (sorry bro). Then I came across a group of 3 survivors. Since I was all mad about ma bro being downed I opened fire on this group, taking out two and almost the third with just my pistol. However I was winchester'd and I think it broke my back, I didn't bleed out I was just stuck in the earth with a broken bone, but then, I see the sniper bandit watch over me...BASTARD!

However I stole 3 cans of food and 3 sodas from the guy when he was looking over my body, then I disconnected.

[Jim E. Rossler]

The Lee Enfield is a paradox:
You need the Enfield so you can shoot the horde of zombies that come when you shoot the enfield that you needed to shoot the horde of zombies that come when you shoot the enfield that you needed to shoot the horde of zombies that come when you shoot the enfield that you needed to shoot the horde of zombies that come when you shoot the enfield that you needed to shoot the horde of zombies that come when you shoot the enfield that you needed to shoot the horde of zombies that come when you shoot the enfield that you needed to shoot the horde of zombies that come when you shoot the enfield that you needed to shoot the horde of zombies that come when you shoot the enfield that you needed to shoot the horde of zombies that come when you shoot the enfield that you needed to shoot the horde of zombies that come when you shoot the enfield that you needed to shoot the horde of zombies that come when you shoot the enfield that you needed to shoot the horde of zombies that come when you shoot the enfield that you needed to shoot the horde of zombies that come when you shoot the enfield that you needed to shoot the horde of zombies that come when you shoot the enfield that you needed to shoot the horde of zombies that come when you shoot the enfield that you needed to shoot the horde of zombies that come when you shoot the enfield that you needed to shoot the horde of zombies that come when you shoot the enfield that you needed to shoot the horde of zombies that come when you shoot the enfield that you needed to shoot the horde of zombies that come when you shoot the enfield that you needed to shoot the horde of zombies that come when you shoot the enfield that you needed to shoot the horde of zombies that come when you shoot the enfield that you needed to shoot the horde of zombies that come when you shoot the enfield that you needed to shoot the horde of zombies that come when you shoot the enfield that you needed to shoot the horde of zombies that come when you shoot the enfield that you needed to shoot the horde of zombies that come when you shoot the enfield that you needed to shoot the horde of zombies that come when you shoot the enfield that you needed to just dont pick the fucking gun up

I can't think of another engine that would be better for this game.

[animlboogy]

I can't think of another engine that would be better for this game.

Basically if someone re-made all of the ArmA mechanics in an engine that actually has good performance, it'd be cool to see DayZ on it.

But that doesn't exist. So ArmA it is.

[Blizzard]

Or, if the ArmA engine and game system were updated so that ladders, trees, stairs, doors, tents, feet, etc. did not semirandomly kill you, that would also be an improvement. :p

[mik83kuu]

Well Arma III at least looks amazing, if nothing else. Here's hoping it'll run good.

Cant play this but are you a bandit? If so id go and hunt you down. If not, dismiss. lol

-45k humanity lol yea I'm a bandit.

[Neverfade]

This needs to be built into or patched into ARMAIII proper or the figurative bed will have been shitted.

I don't know about you brother but I don't shit my bed. You sick son of bitch!

So chemlights will now make you bandit fodder AND targeted by zombies, so much for the follow the leader thing at night. =(

[NervousXtian]

They need to slow down the zombies to about 3/4 of the speed they are now. The meta-game is where it's at, the zombies should just be window dressing.

I had one of the zombies that looked like Jamie Hyneman from Mythbusters chasing me for like 12mins while I was out of ammo until I found a building to lose him with.

Glad the ladder thing is getting fixed, that sucked to lose some decent loot falling to my death.

A couple questions though:

Is there a way to carry more items? It feels so limited right now.

I got a hunting knife, is it usable?
?

Yes, using the backpack, you can carry many more items.

The zombies already are/were basically window dressing (aside from that one time with 1000 zombies), especially now that the bandit skin is gone, so everyone can camp/hunt/backtsab each other more easily.

[OatmealMu]

I wouldn't mind it if zombies randomly tripped. Maybe Rocket can contact Sakurai for advice on the issue.

[cheststrongwell]

Thank God he's doing something about the panic noises. Was almost game breaking for me.

[The M.O.B]

Zombies just need to lose their teleporting/jankyness.

[NervousXtian]

That too.. thought it was just me.. makes it a bitch to shoot them sometimes when coming at you because they warp.

Look for the ALICE backpack -- it's the second biggest in the game, but it's pretty common/easy to find.

Hunting knife is good for... hunting. If you find a cow/goat/sheep, you can hunt it (with your gun) and then gut it with your hunting knife to take what the game calls "raw meat." Then you build a fire, cook the raw meat, and eat it. Each cooked steak you eat restores a good bit of blood, so whenever you have the chance to stuff a couple steaks in your bag, do it.

P.S. You need a book of matches to start a fire.

800 blood.

Me after dying after surviving for 7 days. 'F THIS GAME SO DUMB IM SO FRIGGEN PISSED!!!!"
Me 15 minutes later, "Ok lets find a server!"

[MrOogieBoogie]

I was just wondering if the Amazon version of ARMA 2: CO is up to date with patching or if I have to do it manually?

[Eaten By A Grue]

Time-travel in DayZ?

I am fucking dying over here. That is the GREATEST DayZ video to date.

[Kritz]

I think this game may actually kill me. Spending 3 hours trekking through the wilderness and towns, to hear a sniper shot ring off from the distance and see the dirt in front of me pop. Full blown sprinting into the nearest piece of cover, cowering with my Winchester and makerov. Or trying to defend the school in ekektro from 200 zombies running in because you thought it was a good idea to fire a lee Enfield.

My heart goes from placid to full blown adrenalin panicking in less than a second.

I don't think I've ever been this scared in a game, ever. It does what penumbra, amnesia, stalker and cryostasis never did. It makes me fucking terrified. Genuinely, absolutely, cold sweat terrified. And because of the pacing, that feeling stays for around 10 minutes while I'm trying to plan out my escape or recovery.

This game, man.

[subversus]

Zombies are an important part of the game. MOAR ZOMBIES!

[Neverfade]

Manually. Its as easy as running an executable from the official site though.

Okay. It's not a big deal if I ran the DayZ Updater already, though, right?

[Oreoleo]

Man.

It's so much easier to survive player encounters when you don't wonder if someone is good or bad and just open fire as soon as you see them. Not giving anyone I don't know the benefit of the doubt ever again.

Getting rid of bandit skins is gonna be nasty.

[WedgeX]

And just when I thought that nothing was going to happen all night, two events clashed in the grandest of ways.

[INDIGO_CYCLOPS]

4 of us are now taking a dirt road to Berezino to fix the red wagon. It's too fucking funny.

Gibz, we could have used your sniper skills a bit earlier, however, it ended up working out. Let's just hope none of us die on this journey.

[McBradders]

Godammit I was capped in Cherno scavenging for supplies. Feels bad, man.

[The M.O.B]

Tough day for me.

Started today by heading up to the NorthEast airfield from Kamyshovo, I met up with Enduin and we were killing zombies and piling up the loot. He has something to do so he disconnects but I remain. I head into the top of the control tower and go prone. Then I tab out to watch the basketball game that was on, after the game is over I return to the game only to see 6 bandits and a survivor running up to the control tower. I stayed prone with my sights on the stairs and one pops up but goes back down before I fire. I wait for a few minutes and then they came up from behind and killed me instantly. Dead (I have video of this)

Later I try walking back to the airfield all the way from Electro with Docbon and Legacy. We eventually agro a ton of them, I agro the most and we end up getting separated at Berezino. I meet back up with legacy and Docbon at the hospital. I walk into the back of a nearby store, in the back is a survivor prone and he immediately shoots me. Dead

Then again this time I meet up with SlopeSlider, BSTF, and Broken north of Cherno. We head north. After only 5 minutes or so Broken decides to stop to enter some buildings, we stay outside on a hill. I alt tabbed out to browse the internet while I wait for Broken to finish. As soon as I tab back in we are attacked by some random dude. BSTF gets shot but stays alive, I on the other hand am killed instantly. Dead

Tough day, but I did end up getting to ride in a car we stole from a Bandit at the airfield :D

As someone that doesn't usually play a lot of PC games and never plays mods, this thing is a pain in the ass to get running.

[Orgun]

[NEW] PROTIP: Use Global Chat/VOIP in populated areas

Curious. I get the feeling that doing this will attract every zombie in town...can't wait to try it :)

[wolfmat]

As someone that doesn't usually play a lot of PC games and never plays mods, this thing is a pain in the ass to get running.

Yeah! Same here! And I play lots of mods. Few setups were as fucked-up as this one for me. Even Oblivion modding came easier.

Certainly the first time I had to buy a second game to get a mod working.

[mik83kuu]

-110k humanity. Just spawned on russian server and got one dude by surprise (I spawned inside a wall, not cool) and his two friends a minute later. Booyea!

You're nuts! :)

I really don't understand the difficulty in getting this game running, just follow the instructions provided and it works. Sorted.

[Foliorum Viridum]

Trying to mod Oblivion is the worst mod experience I've ever had. It made me uninstall the game.

Here you just copy some files. Couldn't be easier.

I'm going to hop on for the first time in two days now. Been itching to get some zombie killing!

[wolfmat]

Great, now the game crashes after 20 minutes at the most. Hrgn. Hope Bohemia lifts that next patch out of Beta soon.

[Foliorum Viridum]

I was just creeping through Cherno like a pro. Was dodging zombies everywhere and then I meet this guy in one of the archways. I identify myself as friendly and walk past him, keeping an eye on him as I do to make sure he wasn't going to try and pop me, but then he starts to follow me by just fucking running. Of course that attracts a horde and we had to run to a house to take them all out.

He had a winchester and a revolver on him, however, so the choice to put one in the back of his head after the zombies were dead wasn't much of a choice whatsoever. Maybe next time he'll crouch through the city!

It was sweet, sweet karma.

[EVIL]

I hope your chopper run tonight failed out of spite. I'm no bad luck charm. I make my own luck that just so happens to be bad... :P

Even when I can't find the server for a while, I can still have fun being a smartass on Mumble. It's alright Broken, I realize you were one of the people who came to find me since I'd end up running all night just to die. I forgive you.

Panda on the other hand is not forgiven. Why? I'm not sure, I just don't feel like it. What'd he do? Not sure either but I'm not going to forgive him anyway...
