What is ghosting? Lag?
AKA bitch shit!It is an exploit due to the global server location system.
Player is engaged in combat, he takes note of the enemy players location, disconnects, joins another server relocates behind enemy player, rejoins original server and kills the player from behind.
I hope so. Not nearly as fun when you can be seen regardless of distance and stealth. :\At night it should be absolutely fine. I can get right up to them crouch walking.
In the day though theres a new addition, basically the game has a 'probability' of you being randomly seen. Its really not beneficial to sneak now; as no matter how careful you are, a random zombie might chase you and hit you when you don't expect it. I mostly run everywhere now.
Am hoping they remove it from the game; or replace it with Zombies moving towards you - not chasing, just changing direction - adding some difficulty.
Atm its a bit game breaking, but it is alpha and it is a recent addition.
Elektro was tense today. A bandit had littered the place with bodies; but I got him in the end.
He had a camping tent - woot. I bag it and prepare to move on; log off for dinner.
Those of GAF that play DayZ, what is your opinion on The War Z? If you haven't heard of it, http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/07...r&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&page=1 is the link that talks about it. I've always wanted to play DayZ once I got a good gaming rig, but I might hold out and just go to that, I'm not sure =/
There's a new game called the War Z coming out sometime this year. It seems pretty similar to DayZ.

Stay away from Elektro - 2 bandits, killing everything they see and putting stuff in their full backpacks to make it 'bug out' of the game.
Sure. Just too busy to get back in it atm.
Yeah, but not as much as I used to.
Bonjour!
Currently its not letting me play. Might try again at lunchtime.
Just got it last night ........ eventually got it up and running.
Should be on for a few hours tonight.
Add me on steam ..... Jburton.
If they're destroying loot that is in a spawn point, on the other hand, they're farming and actually doing everybody else a favor by getting rid of the useless drops so real loot can spawn.
I don't think I'll play touch the game again until they add some goals. Right now the main goal is to survive. I can survive in the woods easily. Why should I go to Elektrozavodsk and other cities?
I enjoy it solo much more than with friends. I don't have to run anywhere for half an hour to meet up and I have to scavenge supplies because nobody will give them to me.
I think I may actually jump back on DayZ this weekend. Hmmm.... I haven't played for almost a month.
I am a terrible judge of character, anyone I think may be friendly is a bandit, and anyone I think is a bandit is friendly. RIP T Bone
His only mistake was carrying a scoped rifle.
This is one problem I have never encountered with the GAF group. Everyone is fairly generous to fellow gaffers.
Yeah, I NEED to get back on. Between family and backlog (and frustration from Hackers) Ive been away. But I miss the deep talking MOB, the team killing Gibs, the deep disappointment of getting murders after days of collecting things.I think I may actually jump back on DayZ this weekend. Hmmm....

Yeah. Especially if you are playing with that Legache guy. He's so dreamy.

Le Gassy? Not such a cool dude... or is he?
I was on earlier and it was barren. Sad mumble server
Orgun! I have wondered where you and the others went. I took a break and when I came back to DayZ all of you were gone. I've got a irl friend hooked on the game and we've been playing it together for about a week now. I'm trying to get a second one to join too.
DayZ reunion this weekend!!I haven't played for a while either, but I miss you lovely people.
I think I'll probably get on this weekend, too.
Were is the best place to purchase Arma 2(digitally) primarily for the purpose of playing DayZ?I see its available on steam and some other services.Im just wondering what are the advantages and disadvantages of each.Thanks in advance for any help.
I'll probably hop on this weekend too.DayZ reunion this weekend!!
I'll probably hop on this weekend too.
Oh...
