yes, i love Frankie, he's awesome. best DayZ videos around.

thanks Rocket! i was going to wait until standalone to come out until i was going to play again, but you have fixed so many problems; duping, altf4ers, spawning, zombie deaths, tents randomly inside the hospital, and making the toolbox have more use! you, and all those who helped, are awesome!

you sure you didn't pirate the game? pirated games don't work, buy the game.

cool story brah no seriously, cool story.

HOLY FUCK

battlefield bc2, CS, TF2.... but then i stopped playing dayz after i got pissed off A LOT: i spent hours upon hours trying to get to the NWA on a hardcore server (so i couldn't mark anything on my map) only to get shot by a ghillie suit guy just as i was about to ask him if he wanted blood bags. that, and another time i was FULLY loaded, only to be teleported into the air and killed from falling. i am waiting for standalone, as a lot of these problems will be fixed, so the game that has currently replaced DayZ until standalone is my second replay of Deus Ex :D

lol, don't worry about that, it is just "radio chatter" left over from ARMA 2, i believe. you didn't do anything wrong, everyone gets it when they log in.

i love this, but you are immune to infection.

you can already distract zombies, such as throwing a smoke grenade or a flare, or, just fire the lee-Enfield and get the dinner bell going.

huh?

Stellar work, Rocket! Can't wait!

lol, huuuuuuuugeeeeeeeee bug

WOW. mate, you dont have to worry at all. have fun with that thing, you lucky bastard :D

never played the map, but can't wait! hopefully there are lots of servers supporting this!

i'm no complete expert, but yes, very smoothly. my PC can't even run BF3 at all, but even i can run DayZ smoothly in some cases (it really depends on the server from my experience, see how well arma 2 runs on single player before you get dayz though.... i get a smooth experience with medium graphics, but i must lower them to low in dayz in order to get a better FPS (this is the server's fault, not my pc for the FPS issues)). but when standalone comes out (guaranteed by the end of this year), DayZ will be much better optimised, as well as more advanced.

very nostalgic, love the music and the z's. this could be an intro to FrankieonPCin1080P's DayZ series.... love it!

weird. maybe wait some time for your character to die, because sometimes i can still talk and move the inventory etc after i have been "killed", but eventually i die.

ummm okay

great progress guys! hey, and i was wondering if you could turn on the TV or radio and there would be static or looped messages telling about the zombies.... freaky. or even dead corpses on a couch "watching" TV while the TV is still playing, and that there is a zombie inside the house.... somewhere....

i hate playing alone on low populated servers in DayZ in it's current state. it defeats the purpose of player interaction and risk taking..... like, "there are bandits and KOS people in cherno near the hospitable, and i really need blood, should i risk it?" it kills the suspense and fear that makes DayZ DayZ. i have a mate who want's me to play with him on low populated servers, and it wasn't fun at all. we just had a car and just drove around, with no risk of getting sniped etc. i want to play with him on populated servers so we can do some awesome tactical stuff and communication, and share the suspense with him (no homo if any of you sicko's are thinking like that). there was one moment with my mate where we were overlooking cherno on a low pop server, and we are just chatting along, then we hear gunshots. we tense up, and get down, and then we toy with them on side chat when he (not me, i was trying to very hard to convince him not to do it) convinced them to go to a fuel station in cherno so he could snipe them (which he did). but that rarely happens on a low populated server, it happens all the time on a high populated server. on a high populated server however, was another moment where me and 3 other random guys (i had just met) were trapped in a fire station from snipers. we just waited, but it turned out that someone was stalking us, then raided the firestation we were in and killed (most) of us. even though it pissed me off, i wan't more moments like that. player interaction makes DayZ.... DayZ.

GIVE THOMAS BACK TO FRANKIE YOU BASTARD!! ;D

fucking faggots, his name is angus, it was shown in his inventory and wow, what an idiot, posting it on the internet. it is damn obvious that he is a hacker, with that box. he even said "spawn in the box". bloody people ruining dayz.

this may cause some massive arguments, but it could stop alt-f4er's to some point. and, if you are against this, this should be optional for servers. say, it was only available on hardcore servers or something. anyway, the idea is that in order to save the game, one must "sleep" in order to save his location when they log out. things like tents could be used as beds (giving them more use), or, when dayz standalone comes out with Chernarus plus, players could sleep in abandoned houses\buildings. for example, if one was to sleep, log out, and then log back in, one would still be in the same location as they were before, like normal. but if one slept, walked a couple of hundred meters and found some loot, and then logged out at that location, when they get back into the game they will be where they last slept, but without the loot that they had found before. it could also fix that rare "spawning on the coast" problem that rarely occurs. however, if someone was to take your tent you slept at, maybe a message will pop up saying that you cannot save untill you find another place to sleep, or something like that. it would be similar to GTA's saving system, except that you can't navigate through saves (obviously), and that when you die, you loose your sleeping spot and respawn on the coast with barely nothing like normal. this system could add a whole new dimension to player-made bases\fortifications, meaning that it actually IS a place to live and sleep, and not just some place to store loot. also, you shouldn't be able to sleep if there are z's close by. it would be awesome to have (even though i defy this series) CoD-style zombie defence where you must protect your home from the herds of zombies that could be roaming around Chernarus (in standalone it will most likely include roaming z's, and not just "hot spots" for z spawns). and NO, i do NOT mean arcade-y style z defence like CoD zombies, you know what i mean, DayZ is a zombie-apocalypse simulator, not a damn hurr-durr shooter. imagine the horror of z's suddenly spotting your presence, and then running straight for the base. this would be more scarier once zombies are more threatening, and it would be cool that if that fortification is overrun by zombies, it becomes a zombie spawn place, like towns and farms. it would be great to add this to standalone, but if people don't like it, there should be an option to have it removed on some servers. also, a little off topic here, but player zombification. yes, this had been stated many times, but i'd just like to throw in my 2 cents and say that if you turn into a zombie, you do not have control of the zombie, and you just respawn on the coast. that would be better. but if you are killed by a hoard of zombies, and the zombies eat you alive, you shouldn't turn into a zombie. but if you get infected by a zombie but get away from them, you will turn into a zombie if it isn't treated (or, if there isn't a cure....).

it was just an IDEA. i didn't necessarily WANT it in the game, it was just a thought. but i think it ties in well with the base/fortification thing.

CoD every year, is overhyped. it isn't going to be "open world", I can tell you that. I'm speculating here, but i'm guessing that you choose a location, an NPC drives the bus, and while they are driving the bus, z's try to jump on the bus untill you reach the location. You aren't enjoying DayZ for a couple of reasons. 1. it is buggy 2. people aren't friendly 3. the pvp/combat is clunky (in your opinion) all of these 3 problems, yes, even the 2nd one (more teamwork mechanics could be added into standalone to have less people shooting each-other) are there because of one thing: IT IS UNFINISHED. come back once the game is finished, or go play WarZ, I hear that it is DayZ for kids.
