Has anyone posted this yet?

Hi All,

As some of you may know, in standalone there will be in-game radio receivers that will allow survivors to listen to internet radio stations live. The internet shows available have to be pre-approved which can be done below through the application form below, we will only accept 2-5 in this first round as a proof of concept and to see how it works out in game.

There are some rules;

1. Your radio station MUST be in character with regards to the DayZ apocalypse.
2. You must own or have permission for all the content you use in your application and on your radio show (such as the applicable online radio license - http://en.wikipedia....radio_licensing)
3. You must stream your radio show in .ogg format or we won't be able to stream it in-game
4. We retain the right to remove your channel from the game


The application process will be in two stages;

Stage one, this will be a text based application that can be found here - https://docs.google....aV9QuY/viewform, this will be open till 09.00am Czech Republic Local time on Monday 8th July. We will then pick the best applicants and we will invite them to stage two selection.

Stage two, this is only for those short listed from stage one, anyone who made the grade will be invited to submit a 10-15 minute sample of what their radio show would be like if selected and possibly discussing some of your future plans with one of the developers.

So get signing up, I look forward to your applications. If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to send me a pm.

Best regards,
Matt

I put off getting ARMA 2 to play DayZ since the beginning of the year since we were told alpha access would be announced "soon". Seems they are following in the proud footsteps of Blizzard and Valve. Just hope they can deliver.
 
I am really hoping for some cool, in character radio stations.

if I would do a radio station (which I won't because my English has a bit of a dutch accent and its terrible)

I would run a show where every half hour you have a character that would preach good moral values and chapters from scripture.

And between that you would either have a range of numbers broadcasted like a number station, spoken in this creepy childrens voice that you can translate with a decode key, and it would contain messages for coordinating hunting parties, or locations of players that have high end loot.

and the rest would be random rambling every after a pair of songs.

edit: hell, I am thinking about it.
 
I cant wait to see towns silhouetted with red flares at night again. That shit was amazing.

speaking about flares, is that youtube video still up somewhere where you had a couple of guys playing dayz at night and suddenly they see guys running around in the woods and flares get thrown all around them. don't remember what that video is called.

but flares are awesome! so moody
 
I bought the Arma Recruitment Pack from the GoG summer sale. Absolutely on impulse. And I knew that standalone DayZ was coming out "soon", too.

...time to get my money's worth!

You mean the Days Ahead series by CHKilroy?

nah, don't remember that they ever where hunted by another group. I think the video (might be a series) started in the dark, and they where navigating the landscape by using the electrical masts as a landmark. its pretty old.

or they all started at the coast at night and met up at a small industrial building where they climbed on the roof.

edit, found it. it was criken's twitch stream http://www.twitch.tv/criken/c/1298221. was fun watching them panic when they where streaming and people where hunting them and messing with their heads.
 
I broke down and got WarZ waiting on the standalone :/

IT'S good you did that.


Because after you have played that game, you will learn to respect the DAYZ mod more and realise just how good it really is at doing what it does :P



After looking at rust, 7 days to die, the dead linger and so on, DAYZ SA REALLY needs some kind of building and the ability to barricade. It adds so much to the game that I honestly would be disappointed if it wasn't in.


Like going out and looting guns or food is good and all, but the most fun comes from going and looting parts for cars so you can repair them. So having the ability to loot wood, metal and so on to make small buildings and make your own safe house would be just the best, to me anyway.


I don't expect it to be in at release but I do hope it is planned to be added at some point ( maybe it is ?)
 
I own the DayZ mod.

As much as I don't want to support a very shady developer, it's literaly the only other open world survival zombie game. A bunch of other genres are saturated with competition.

I expect a larger developer to make some kind of zombie mmo after seeing how open world shooters like TitanFall, Destiny, and The Division seem to be big for next gen and how popular zombies are. Then maybe there will be a Arma 3 or 4 DayZ standalone.

All in all, the DayZ standalone can't come soon enough
 
Rocket spends too much time addressing the worst parts of the community lol

I couldn't handle it, there are some ignorant, impatient people out there.

One guy even said, 'give me two weeks and a couple code monkeys and I could have rewritten the engine.'

Sounds like he needs a larger team. Removing legacy weapons himself Friday and breaking the game from running for a day or two until he got it sorted out seems a bit much.
 
I hope the Standalone doesn't launch this weekend. I'm away at my cousins wedding and it would make setting up the OT awkward at best.

I don't think it will though. I've noticed from the registry updates that they don't work on weekends.

I dont know if I should be impressed by that, or frustrated, on one hand having a work life balance is so important..

But then on the other hand most game companies go flat out close to launch...

He is very lucky Rocket, probably more than he realises, the majority of games dont have this userbase ready to buy his product day 1

It won't. Don't worry.
 
3 things.

1. DayZero looks neat, we should try it out soon.
2. Still waiting for SA
3.I'm giving away 2 games RIGHT NOW. Im giving away a copy of Don't Starve and a copy of FTL, and I'm giving my favorite GAF community a leg up on winning it, by giving them away here and here alone. (I might give away more but no promises)

First person to PM requesting the game wins! You can only win one of the games not both, also please include your Steam ID in the PM.

Edit: Im also giving away a copy of ArmA: Cold War Assault.

Edit 2: Don't Starve has been Claimed. FTL and ArmA: Cold War Assault are still up for grabs.
Edit 3: FTL has been claimed.
 
Hoping you guys here could pass ome advice

Yes or no to Combined Operations?

I played Day Z for a couple of weeks at my friend's house and loved it.

But I know the Day Z Standalone is coming soon.

Thing is, this will be cheap compared to the initial RRP of the Standalone as well.

Advice?
