Day Z

[Aidan]

Yeah, it was well worth it. I found about 10+ bandages in electro anyway.

I was in a night server today at some point and saw some guys in a car drive by. I was jelly.


I might play for about half an hour more, and then get some sleep. This is addicting. Well worth the money.

-SUPERTENSION-

Also Jay, I say we pick a server and brand it the alpha server in case we're all looking to play at random. You can put it in the first post.


Might as well pick an EU server seeing as how most of us are EU.

Your face when you hear gun fire and you're in an open field:

[Aidan]

Forgot the image m8

Also, the only one complaint I have, are that the SERVERS ARE SLOWER THAN THE COMING OF CHRIST.


Fuck NY1, I'll start fresh on another server.


EDERT: New update is out. This could have been a cause.



Also also, I have an M16 and PMK atm.

[James]

Code: Select all

* [FIXED]      Zombies spawning right next to players
* [NEW]         Character saving now ever 2 minutes, not every 30 seconds (still forces save on disconnect)
* [NEW]         Building sandbags, tank traps, and wire are persistent
* [NEW]         Players no longer consume food/water offline BUT can still become starving offline (just eat when you login) P.S. you guys are pussies
* [NEW]         Toolbox added. You need it to setup/takedown wire and tank traps

[Aidan]

I've noticed a significant latency difference with the two minute auto saves. It's great.


I GOTTA control myself. Was up till 5am last night playing. VERY addicting.

I managed to raid elektro for a LOT of supplies. I think I'll leave for a while now, and try to find vehicles. I could risk it and go back for more supplies too :3

Bump 4 Ego


I'm so proud of myself.


I've figured out how to survive in multiple scenarios, and can even go right into a zombie infested city, and come out unscathed without firing even one bullet.


I am an asshole bandit; but I'm only doing what I need to survive. (I don't kill everyone though)


Also, winchester is officially the best gun. Common ammo, two types (slugs, pellet burst), quite accurate at medium range with slugs. Hell, I took someone out on the highway with a slug before... from the forest. Close range? Load the buckshot, and you have a shotgun. Either rounds do mass damage.



HERE'S A GOAT:




EDIT:

DIED AND LOST IT ALL BECAUSE SERVER DAMN NEAR CRASHED AND SOMEONE SHOT MY HEAD.

They SERIOUSLY need to do something about this shit.







DAT ZED COUNT. (Ended up at 151 before being killed by a SURVIVORWHATTHEFUCKLOL)

[Aidan]

We're coming for you, James.

I have a fair idea of what your name is too. You may use multiple, but I'll get you one way or another.

[James]

You've got less than a week and I'm still ahead.

[Aidan]

You've got less than a week and I'm still ahead.

Less than a week? Lol

[James]

No one relevant will be playing for a long while because the videogame they've been waiting for 11 years is released.

So your friends won't be on. I see.


More supplies for us.

[James]

Oh no few of my friends will be playing. I extremely doubt you'll find me especially when I'm going to play JoJo's Bizarre Adventure tonight on GGPO. You're invited for that, it's free.

[Aidan]

Ahh I see.


Okay, I'm down for that Just have to finish 2 essays first.

[James]

JoJo is also my name for all but one day on DAYZ fyi. Your name was Aidan up until that screenshot you took.

[Aidan]

My name was actually {BS}Aidan in that screenshot, lol.

If you ever see any {BS} guys, or +iLL+. They are a part of my group. Half the time we don't use tags though.


If your on in about 6 hours or so, come hang out with us in Starry. We killed about 12 people and got some more gear.

Wow did the community get worse in this game. Everyone's a bandit now.

[Aidan]

Wow did the community get worse in this game. Everyone's a bandit now.

With 1.5.6 there was a lack of zombies, and everything turned anarchy. I'm in a bandit clan, but have always been a bandit since the start. Not only this, but since many people started turning into bandits, dumb players kept telling noobs in sidechat to "TRUST NO ONE." So thanks to those idiots, all the new players instantly thought it would be better to be a bandit.


1.5.7 was JUST released about half an hour ago. The devs knew the game was turning into anarchy, so they fixed a few things and added A FUCK TON of zombies. Extra emphasis on the "FUCK TON."

Many players are complaining about this, and having said that I believe the devs will lower the zombie count a bit. However, the large number of zombies now requires players to work together, because it is hard as all hell to survive alone.

Since half an hour ago, players are a lot more focused on killing zombies rather than other players.

[James]

I'm a bandit because fuck 4channers, SA goons and Redditors.

[Aidan]

We own SA1, our own mumble server, website, and forums.

[clyzm]

Temperature system is retarded with the shaking.

I've been going at this game for 50+ hours now, lone wolf, not a single death, and I've only killed one person.

Funny story about that, I was looking around in an abandoned barn when I notice some dude running away, with about 10 zombies chasing him. Before he could message "FRIENDLY?" I eliminate most of the zombies with my M249. He thanked me and we adventured for a while, he gave me some food and a lot of morphine he was stockpiling, apparently.

After talking to him he revealed to me that he's part of some medic group, a la Followers of the Apocalypse from NV, and their goal is to walk around the area and help people out as much as possible. Obviously this leaves them particularly vulnerable to dick ass bandits but they only join sparsely populated servers, me being on one of them.

Anyways as I was taking him back to my camp I asked where did such a stupid idea as having a medic group come from. He told me that it was something from Reddit that they (him and his friends) were trying. I shot him point blank and looted all of his shit.

Normally when it comes to other players I tend to avoid them, especially if they travel in groups, I watch them from afar and, if they spot me and start approaching me, run away. I find that if they initiate firefights, the best method is hit and run tactics, and it's worked pretty well for me, I've survived quite a few conflicts this way. But seriously, fuck Reddit.

[Kaiden]

Spent over and hour trying to join servers the other day then gave up. A combination of ridiculously flooded serverlist and servers failing under the pressure made is annoying.

[Tantalus]

seriously, fuck Reddit.

BRILLIANT. Actually brilliant.

[Aidan]

Reddit are all carebears. Every time they complain about zombie count, rocket says it's 'fixed,' and adds even MORE zombies hahaha.


I'm a "dick ass bandit," so watch out for me


If anyone is looking for a fast server, SLC1 is the best. It's our clan's server =HA=. Instead of breaking up the nodes to create multiple servers... We put all of the nodes into powering a single server. So it is one of the quickest atm.


I love how reddit posted their camp's location and home server. It was brutally crushed by hoards of bandits.

[Kaiden]

Logged in and there was a guy stood in-front of me, we did alright then the servers got really laggy and everything froze - then I saw the chatline saying he'd died so I just quit.

I do still like the game, but it does take way to long to get into it - including the often 5 mins+ of spamming servers trying to get in. Apparently an upcoming patch makes loading times nearly instant, sounds good.

[Aidan]

1.7 is released today. The Beta Client has also been released today. Fixes almost every network issue. All hives have been revamped.

[Aidan]

Officially no more hackers on DayZ.

Bohemia released a massive Battle Eye Ban. Global Bans were issues on ALL GUID's that have been injecting weapons into the game.

[James]

I've started to get stutters every time players join/leave/kill/spawn. It's far too annoying to play with them because of how frequent these things can happen, especially when you're in combat.

[Kaiden]

Most of the time when I join I just get horrible FPS, at least joining is a lot quicker now though (down from a long time (or never responding) to 2-3 minutes).

[James]

Yes thankfully.
