Whaaaa? Just double click a server from DayZ Commander. I haven't had a single problem yet.
The other stuff? Yeah, that's valid.

He's probably referring to the earlier days when it could take you up to 45 minutes to get into a server.
A lot of information today, Rocket went a little crazy.
Kind of annoying though. I'm always waiting for Rocket to release some new info, and then people destroy him about something really small on Twitter/Reddit.
He posts this UI and people are still ripping him apart, hours later, because of the font...Yes, the font may suck, but in the grand scheme of things it really means nothing.
New UI:

Rocket Posts:
I thought this was interesting. We have been drooling over the screenshots he has released so far. Admiring the draw distance, AA, textures, plant detail, shadows, etc and apparently Rocket has been playing on Medium this whole time.

Reddit:
This was my exact thinking. I might get back in and sour my DayZ experience.
Might as well wait for the alpha, then at least I'll be in on a solid product from the ground floor.

Waiting for character to create.. connecting.. trying to establish connection.. loading character...
It took years to join anything. From clicking on a server to moving around in the map it could take a long ass time. Half the servers gave an error and didn't connect too.

Wow people are crazy (crayz lol). The UI looks great imo.

New UI looks a lot like ARMA 3's. The icons looks low res, but its not a big deal.
Its for disinfecting items you find on other players.
EDIT: Actually right after I posted this
All the icons are just the item render. So if it is a low-res asset initially, it will be a low-res icon.
I think they are going through and redoing all of the assets. They have touched up the trees, grass, bushes, player models, zombie models, and more.
It is just a matter of time and resources before they get to certain things.
Here is the new knife they rendered:
This is interesting, really shows the depth of ARMA II.
So this group kidnaps a bandit that was shooting at their helicopter, warning: the video was shot by someone who could be perceived as very annoying.

I'll give a play by play of what happened if you don't want to watch.

- Bandit shoots at helicopter
- helicopter shoots back and wounds bandit
- crew tells bandit to drop weapon, which he complies
- they give him blood bag and morphine to get his health back to full
- one of the crew shoots him in the leg, knocking him out
- bandage the bandit, and drag him into the helicopter
- fly to cherno and drop him off of a tall building

Hopefully the player count per server is higher at release, compared to the mod.
50 player server, 30 are gaffers, wouldn't be much fun, we need a large enemy to fight. So we can bring back the battle bus.

I really hope they add some new maps to SA. It is way too easy to spot loot/bases from a chopper. You can fly around the map and just raid the shit out of whoever you want, and a chopper makes the map kinda small, too.
I think that is the plan.
Start with Chernarus, a map that is already mostly completed. Perfect it, while adding in new features for the Standalone.
Once the features are completed, can start working on a new map.
Modding is allowed from the beginning, so people can make custom maps as well.

I agree with you on that, if you want to bring your child you should let the others know beforehand.

He was a GAF member iirc already when gibonez killed him. He made some posts here in this thread after his vendetta ended. I met him once, he sniped 4 in our group of 6 before I managed to kill him and his helper. One of the more fun moments I had in the game.
I still blame the day/night cycle being out of sync for that sorry state of affairs.
It was one of the most epic quests I've done though. Random encounters with friendlies, being lost, Orgun shooting a team member and the hilarity that followed. Being hunted down by Gaben. And all of that while the game was still fresh and unfamiliar.

Haha yeah it was horrible, it was pitch black and raining for some until you relogged and then it was middle of the day and the sun was shining.
Hopefully we'll get more moments like that together in the standalone, because you are buying the standalone right?

Dayz has been one of the best gaming experiences in the last years. So yes, I will.

There is a new version of the mod coming soon (June)
I believe the same thing has been uttered every month since standalone was announced. Alas.

Hey guys, I was browsing the Dayz livestreams on Twitch and found this one http://www.twitch.tv/incep710n, he is doing a 24 hour stream of Dayz for St Jude's Children's Hospital. His girlfriend was a patient there a few years ago(she had hodgkin's lymphoma I think he said) and she has been in remission for a few years. So if you like Dayz and want to donate to a good cause check it out. Here is the donate link http://imraising.com/incep710n/

Yeah, you want the superior standalone version. The Mod is wall-to-wall hackers. It's why I stopped playing it.
Thank you. Also you were great in the Neogaf documentary lol

Honestly, if you want to play now, then get it. Who knows when standalone will be available, and yes, there are hackers, but just find a server that has admins on it all/most of the time and you'll be fine.
I feel like a lot of negative opinions on DayZ are from people who played months ago--the game gets fairly regular patches. If you find a good server with admins, its a solid game, if not buggy/wonky (some of that is Arma 2's fault).

nah. rocket said he fixed it...
then again he also said the SA would be out in December.

Honestly, I say go for it. Yes SA will be out soon, but it will be limited in features for the initial release. The hacking issue still exists but the amount of hacking has been greatly reduced, its been a long time since I have been screwed over by a hacker. There is also a lot of good DayZ mods, such as Orgins, Breaking Point, and Mercenaries which add a different feel to DayZ, plus the multitude of various map mods. On top of that you can play regular ARMA which can be fun in its own right as well.

To be fair, the original plan was to package the mod into a single exe, fix some things up, and release.
When War Z flopped like it did, they decided to actually release a real game. So they started from the ground up, rewriting the engine, fixing the animations, and created a whole new game.
Decided to give DayZ Origins a shot and I was impressed.
I got into a game fairly quickly and the server seemed to be well moderated. Choosing your spawn area is a brilliant idea. It tells you how likely it is that you'll die and it'll be amazing for meeting up with friends.
Taking a long ass time to meet up with friends is easily one of the worst things about DayZ. The game doesn't begin until I've grouped up in my opinion.
