Played DayZ Epoch with a friend last night since he has been wanting me to try it out. Hands down my favorite version of the mod so far, even more so than DayZero. It ran really well too which is always nice. We found business men looking skins early on during our scavenging, so we looked very classy during the apocalypse. This mod should hold me over pretty well until SA is out.
It looks like the popular Arma 2 mod DayZ breaking point has just gone public alpha for Arma 3.
Heres a quick video of some gameplay. I cant comment much on it yet as Im still trying to get whitelisted. Looks cool. Lots of custom loot, custom guns. Its also set on Altis. If you wanna try it for yourself. heres the whitelist page with more info.

Looks good but I'm not touching BP with a 10 foot like after what happened with the original mod and launcher
Haha true. I really like the zombies after watching some streams. They are slow but form groups that can really fuck you if they back you into a corner.
But after reading some stuff people seem to be saying the same thing. That the map is just to big for 60 players. So even meeting another player is rare.
All those enter buildings doe hnnnnnnng
Truth, and we still have Pokemon.
I really hope they tighten up that melee. That looks gross.
'Looks' are not the team's priority right now. Animations and sound design come later after the engine is laid out.
Going back and adjusting things over and over would make the production take significantly longer.

That gif is amazing.
also I found out about a new attachment for M4s (and maybe mosins, I don't know) today.
It increases accuracy when prone.

The melee in the video is final because the alpha is the final version of the game.
Bipod!That gif is amazing.

Rocket spits on our optimism. So many guesses have come and gone with the prayers unanswered. There are a lucky few who yet might be the prophet of things to come. However if all of you were to fail in the eyes of the Beans, all would have a second chance at redemption.
Basically if DayZ comes out on a day no one guessed everyone's name will be entered in a random draw, to determine the "winner"

Back from upgrading to windows 8. Still no DayZ. Though I wonder how many new people will join our fold once SA actually releases.
Also I just noticed its spelled piercedveil
You read it as devil I'm assuming?

He's the slowest one in our group, unfortunately. He's been hit by a lot of cars.
What?

Talking about windows I just realised...
I wonder if SA will have a 64bit executable? ARMA 2 doesn't and it means it lags like shit sometimes because it can't stream enough stuff into memory.

With the new engine its looking like the client will be taking a significantly reduced portion of the load.
Hopefully they will go to 64 bit exe one day, but probably not a priority early on.
That would be awesome, especially combined with a walkie talkie, you could really screw with peoples minds
He discussed some kind on note system at one point, spray painting the environment sounds like a great idea.
Mark hiking trails.

Should of put all those kids a trash duty in Cherno, then I wouldn't have to deal with all the little bastards.
Anyway for those who haven't played DayZ before Bohemia is having a great sale on all of its ArmA II products. 80% off all their Arma II stuff. They have both Steam and DRM free versions of the games.
Edit: 5 dollars for Combined Operations,

Which is why I said I hope they tighten it up. Guess I should have included the word eventually because apparently you needed that. Keep up that community spirit with these replies!
I needed it. Thank you for being so thoughtful.
Thanks for the heads up on this, littleworm. I figure the standalone is probably still a little ways out so I jumped on this deal. Looking forward to trying this out!
Should be out before December.
))Make me think that everytime I type dayz on my firefox to get to this topic, I end up in the page 305 ( so June ) and expectation at the time were "At E3 he said the release was imminent. Most likely to be in a few weeks, but could stretch out into a month or two if they need to clean something up.", "around the corner", "in a few week".
And now, mid november, the same kind of expecation are being shared.
That is exactly what Rocket wants.

My Steam wallet is ready.
I don't believe this.
No one wants hype for their game to be dead.
I understand wanting the servers to cope but him being happy about no one caring about the game is bullshit.
If the servers can't handle the load then what is the point of the alpha? He isn't worried about sales because he saw what happened with DayZ.
Word of mouth sells more copies of games overtime than anything else. When he has a good product, millions of PC gamers will line up to purchase that product.
When the game comes out, the people will be there. Sure some Day 1 sales may have been lost but I think most people who were going to buy the game day 1 before will still be there now.
I think Rocket is a little bit naive if he sreiously thinks there will be a really soft launch. I can completely understand why he would want one, and I commend him for not doing some bullshit limited keys first release crap.
Day 1 I expect the servers to be a mess, and I'm ok with that. I survived the early days of half hour load times and some much other bullshit before I would gladly do it again,
