DayZ is not an original game, and I agree, zombies have been done to death. Been waiting for the next stage to come in, because before zombies popped back up it was more knights and vampires. BUT. DayZ is unique in that it offers experiences that are completely authentic and no games have been able to offer or effectively. It has no UIs, GUIs (barely), or in-game mechanics, but it works well that way! In fact, I've always wanted them to have audible and visual representations you see about your character instead of using icons, but still have them available (incase someone is deaf or something). In that way you'd go even further down the NO GUIs road. Other than that, you do forget, that DayZ is a mod. A mod. Not a game, like Project Zomboid. That's saying enough to give it immense credit. There's that, and DayZ is basically the Dead Island that we all expected and we all wanted. I thought DI was going to be about the tragedy of it all...based on the trailer. Big letdown...

I've been up there tons of times, routine looting. I've been up there tons of times, strange happenings. Both statements are true.

Was just kinda weirded out. My friend found 1 in Elektro, one outside of Cherno, and I found 2 again in Elektro by the power plant.... Same day, no server restarts in between.

You have had quite a time being a bandit.... :o Who has the least humanity and what is it? Does anyone know official? This guy might just be it.

This one is good. Nice, easy whitelist and fast if you get it done in the middle of the day (in the US), but that's saying something because if all the admins live in UK then it'd be evening to late there. Good ping, considering my connection has to cross an ocean and US internet SUCKS, nice people- and a strange amount of bikes.... Oh right, and you spawn with default gear, vehicles are pretty hard to come by, and there are no donor perks!

In that you would be east, I'm pretty sure. Stary and Novy is north of Pobeda and NWAF is west of Novy and Stary.

I just love this form. It's so true. Who's the original author?

I meant your MS Paint skillzzzzz. :P

Epic circling skills, bro. Maybe in the SA we see only public hives else LICENSED SERVER OWNERS? You know, trustworthy people of sorts. Oh, and hopefully most of the CoD and FPS Generica consumers GTFO by then. Sounds to me like all John is would be a "FPS Generica" kid with too much money and too much time spending both of those in the wrong place.

I don't understand the legend here.

Just a simple question or two: How cold is it in Namalsk at night compared to the day? Because right now, I'm dying. My temp is flashing, I can't find heatpacks, and my blood is going down (the zombies I couldn't see by the deerstand didn't help at all). Of course I logged off for the night; no sense in dying like that. Will I still be freezing when it's light out? When I respawned with my current character, it was dark already in-game, and I was instantly shaking from the cold. Is that going to be the case when I log back in during the day? This thread is in New Player Discussion because I am very new to Namalsk if you could not tell.

200 vehicles and and Enfield with 2 mags on spawn? Right, this is a vanilla server for sure. I'm talking NO GUNS on spawn, and barely anything but a bandage and painkillers, maybe something like a watch for extra, and that's it. This is not what I'm looking for, and is just another server in the hype. Come on, now....

No, he gets it, I think. The way I interpret it is that he thinks that the way you take and view the game depends on what you get out of it. For instance, Minecraft could be a silly little block world where you break blocks, then replace them, OR, it could be an amazing terra-scape where you can create anything you set your mind to. At the base, DayZ is ArmA with less guns and vehicles, no unification, loot spawns, and zombies. And the point of this thread is to say that if you think about it a certain way it could be so much more than that, and the fact that it can be will make it the fact that it IS. Thanks for the defense, tho. :D By the way, started a Steam gaming group, and it goes beyond DayZ (Minecraft, LoL, GMod, Counter-Strike, ect) but there are no FPSs like CoD, BF3 ect, the ones that produce crappy community members. I'll put the link in here in a moment... Edit: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/westernfrontgamers/ YOU MUST LIVE IN US TO JOIN! Thanks you :3

Oh. You should have told me it was in there. BTW, did you know your server info was in your signature?

That's great, but Y U NO GIVE ME AN IP!?

I would have donated, I have a prepaid, but I don't think there was a site, or atleast I didn't see one. Not to mention they did not really ask even in the MotD. I only got 3 hours on that server! It's safer to assume that since they are now running a new server they have the money, they just turned soft. .......... BTW, thanks a bunch Orlok, for giving me my 100th can of beans!

God, this forum never sleeps! So many posts and I stayed up almost till midnight last night (like every weekend night). I don't have time to read them all... Well, the patience. Anyway, you can make your own story up, but then what? It ends there. If you have the ability to find out what happened, and piece it together, where it may come out differently that others' interpretations of it, then you have something. It's a progression. It's not really a "main questline" but something you can pursue and try to figure out, and keep you occupied, instead of "loot, die, repeat" cycle that most players follow. It gives the game some substance and it makes you feel involved. You may find one thing but then find another and it changes your opinion. Did the infection have multiple causes, or just one? How can I study this? Can understanding this infection help me fight zombies better? And trust me, rocket & Co. are not the kind of people to make a half-ass story for how their work ethic is and what they do. It'll be a good one.

I suggested this once. Give the player the ability to find out this but don't have it known, like the intro to fallout. And in the end, to prevent people posting it, make multiple reasons that it happened, so no one really can know.

I apologize if this request may seem to picky, but unfortunately I'm having trouble finding a decent, suitable Panthera server. At the moment, it appears the server cache has filled up with absolutely crappy servers, full of people who think having everything on spawn and vehicles within 12 feet of eachother is fun. In fact, this is so far from what DayZ truly is I don't even think they should be listed! So, where is a server I can find that has less than 100 vehicles, no extra weapons, just DayZ weapons, and a decent spawn loadout that is not at all different, or very small in variation, to the regular spawn gear? Looking in DayZ commander, I don't even think a server like this exists. Absoulutely ridiculous. Shame on you community, SHAME ON YOU! I want to play DayZ, not Zombie DayCare where you can have any toy you want without working for it. I found ONE server, but it appears to be down. I want to play. I have a problem. Anyone have fixes?

That is my point. This is a suggestion. One that will never be implemented. I have not stalked rocket's threads either, or else you would see a quote box in my post, stating exactly what he said. Dean did say he was removing all unecessary features from the game, and I do remember him saying the zombies don't need to know formations, tactics, and orders. And of course he never ruled out anything about doing what you're doing (to my knowledge) because it's implied. The thing about DayZ is that it's completely authentic. Every experience is created by one or more players. Not to mention that, but also, rocket doesn't want to punish bandits. He has made this point numerous times.

Sir, the question was never about who was talking about what. Rocket has no time to be adding military NPCs. The team is getting rid of all the NPC knowledge of tactics and such, because zombies are stupid. Still, DayZ is a survival game. No one is here to save you. No one is obligated. You have to take a stand, and I'm telling you, there's no other way. This idea will most likely be stolen by Titov, and Dean is too good for this. It is not what he meant DayZ to have. I know this because he talks about it all the time. You have to stand up for yourself and others, otherwise there will be no one else who will. So you can either pick up a gun and go fight those bandits... ...or watch the empty street. This is the free world. Do what you want.

Everyone! Read this thread! http://dayzmod.com/f...ying-this-game/ The point of this post is to say that YOU players need to BE the "military". DayZ is harsh and lawless, and it's up to the community to distribute rules and bring justice back to the world, if they so choose. You want some civil protection against bandits? Be the people who do that. You could be those bandit hunters, the ones some call heroes, or who some call mettlers, some call enemies. If you want this to happen you need to take it into your own hands.

Get over to EA quick! I'm sure they'd love the idea of a zombie expansion pack! As for being in a group, I say it all depends who you spend your time with. Birds of a feather flock together.
