my 10 day old guy loaded with rare items got his shit pushed in while picking up some SD ammo in a military shower at night.

didnt even hear the guy coming which is odd since you have to jump over a bench to get in the building. two bullets and it was over. :(

Killed by a door... I don't know if it is sad or hillarious.

Such is life in Arma 2!

[meep!]

I love all the points from that interview with Rocket about future additions, but there is still no word about what I personally would like to see, and that is the game using the Arma 3 engine.
I really hope the standalone version upgrade to that engine and not stick with this almost 3 year old engine. Just the lighting in the Arma 3 engine would make the immersion in DayZ so much better, not to mention much better animations and physics.

[Vastag]

Having a tent makes things much better. Now that I have a semi-secure stash losing gear is less painfull.

[goonergaz]

Man I love this game!

So having decided to respawn (i.e. eaten alive by zombies after getting a broken leg) I started my new life near Electro.

I checked out same factory place (has a massive metal barn type place surrounded by metal fencing and has a railway track) and managed to attract a zombie but lose it (thankfully) via running around the fencing and losing it's sight! Anyway...I learn my lesson and go back to crawling everywhere lol.

I find lots of drinks and ammo but no gun...however I find an axe as a zombie glithches through the wall and makes his way towards me - I finally get to hack one to death (having finally figured out you need to reload an axe!) lol!

Anyway, I (slowly) make my way towards the hospital (under guidance of my son) when I suddenly spot a player running into the hospital (off in the distance) - luckily I'm on mumble and I ask if any gafers are near the hospital - it appears someone is - I ask him not to shoot the girl with an axe as he's a noob! lol Anyway, seems the player (sorry - I'm useless and don't know who you are - please feel free to let me know who it was!) needs a blood transfusion - so I help out and grab a load of supplies (hurray - no need to worry too much about accidental broken bones!) and we head out...he shows me where there's a gun so I'm now fully kitted out...he then spots another player heading to the store - an non-friendly who he promptly disposes of and we do a spot of shopping.

Inside the store I get a bigger backpack, food & more drink...I'm now well and truely ready for my journey! We hear there is to be a neogaf bus come pick us up so we head to a hill (apparently a popular sniping point) and wait out...from there we are met by a few other players - I have to pop out of the room for a couple of mins - when I come back I'm on my own bar someone hiding in a sniping position who isn't very talkative - I've no idea where everyone went and it was time for me to log off (2 hours flew by again!)

Thanks to everyone for their kind help and adopting my son who is apparently now kitted out like Rambo lol

He already has a version of dayz running on Arma III, from what I've read. If/when it goes standalone it'll be on Arma III.

I think its almost certain they will be using the arma 3 version for the standalone game, and build from there, adding everything they need.

Just played some DayZ on the Lingor map. It was freaking awesome! Now if only there were some US/UK servers so battleye wouldnt freak out all the time.

Followed this video. The problem is since they are RU servers battleye is a bitch and stops working and boots you from the game(me and a friend could only play for about 30mins if that). We need some US servers dang it!

[kharma45]

Is the GAF server offline or what? Can't seem to find it.

[Hylian7]

US 38, they removed the NeoGAF name from the server's name.

How rare is Stanag SD ammo?! I lucked out and found a gun with 1 clip, however it seems hard as balls to come by.

[Rhadamanthus]

GAF server is down!

I always find it when I never need it. Then I don't take it/drop it, and then I find an amazing gun that takes it 5 minutes later, and then can't find any more Stanag SD ammo.

That's what I was searching for but no sign of it :S

[littleworm]

Yeah, Server seems to be MIA.

[Rhadamanthus]

search for dayzdiaries.com, but yeah it's down for now it seems

[TheNiX]

Looking into it.

Edit: This might take a bit.

[cametall]

If it's night time and I throw a road flare or chemlight a good distance away from me, will zombies swarm it and ignore me? If I sneak around, avoiding the light, and it burns out, will zombies auto swarm me or do they go shambling on their way?

from what I understand after they get distracted they need to be aggro'd again, so if you don't pull any aggro you should be ok

As far as I know zombies are not attracted to chemlights, and are only attracted to flares. When you throw one the zombies won't sprint to the flare or anything dramatic like that, they will just amble around it and maintain the same pace, walking, hopping, or crawling. When the flare dies they just amble away.

[Woo-Fu]

They are attracted to chem lights but the view range for chem lights is very small. Blue the smallest, green the largest I believe.

[Hylian7]

So about this new island map...is there graphical jank on it? It may just be the solution to me getting my DayZ fix for now.

[kharma45]

Looking into it. Edit: This might take a bit.

Cheers for looking into it.

Machinima was livestreaming DayZ while interviewing Rocket and got thunderdome'd twice during the interview. Talk about bad press.

Something went down on our virtual server. Support ticket opened but this could be awhile.

Looks cool. I really wish Rocket would give us an official menu option to select another map to play on.

Is there a video link to this? What was Rockets reaction?

[Woo-Fu]

The livestream is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2ArI...layer_embedded

Might have to wait for them to post a complete video to go back and see the interview part. Rocket did not really react at all, the guys playing weren't the guys interviewing. He did acknowledge that hacking was a pretty big problem.

[eot]

Had the craziest 24 hours in DayZ.
Lost all my stuff then got it back twice, crashed two choppers, had my camp raided and assaulted.

The weirdest thing of it all though was today when I was on the way back from picking up a friend on the coast. We got ambushed and killed in Lopatino and I lost my AS50, CCO SD, Mk 48 and some more random crap. I respawn in Kamenka and start running for Lopatino. When I get there I hear gunshots so I sneak around for a while. I get to my body and next to it I find my murderer, lying on the ground, unconscious. I didn't have a weapon, but he hadn't hid my body so I grabbed an axe and started whaling on him. For some reason he didn't have the ammo on him, but I still got the gun back and a bit later I found his car in which he stashed my CCO SD. It's crazy how quickly your fortunes can reverse in this game.

[cametall]

Is anyone else only able to connect to servers via Six Launcher?

When I try to Remote connect to any server I get the, "You cannot modify/edit ..." something like that message.

But then I open Six Launcher and I can join no problem.

rare enough that you'll only want to use the gun and ammo when shooting other gaffers.

No, it's not me, but it's just crazy to see a callout like that.

With a nick and signature like that i don't expect anything else TBH :p

[Ysiadmihi]

On the subject of callouts, I think my favorite moment of this game so far is when I shot an unarmed Hylian7 in the legs with my Lee Enfield and the 10 zombies who were chasing me went after him instead as he lay disabled on the ground. I think you might have had camo on at the time too :p

...When was this?

Wait a minute, I remember one life where I had a camo suit and I got shot, I think it was in Elektro. That was you?!

[Ysiadmihi]

...When was this? Wait a minute, I remember one life where I had a camo suit and I got shot, I think it was in Elektro. That was you?!

It was a few days ago and yeah in Elektro, somewhere near the firestation. I'm not sure if you even knew I was around but I did I have a horde chasing me.

I think I remember this now, I remember it being near the firestation. Were you in Mumble?

[Ysiadmihi]

Not at the time. I keep forgetting to use Mumble since the game crashes for me if I launch it before DayZ.

[ZenVolta]

Still no news on an update. Lame. But would it kill him to let us know whats going on?

[Beads]

Experienced players, what is your preferred route into the NW airfield? I've made it to the north for the first time, currently in Lopatino with some solid gear. I've heard the airfield usually has a couple snipers, so I was curious about how to make it in as safe as possible.

[Piercedveil]

Yeah, that'd be nice. I'm surprised he hasn't said anything about it.

You could just go to a low population server. Not a guarantee but snipers are probably less willing to hang around the airfield if no one is likely to show up.

Turn off the overlay.

[Mr Nightman]

spent the pasy 7 hours getting some great gear, only to have a hacker drop us all. Really, why do these losers exist?
