The post is nothing more than an insulting sneer at how other people play the game. I suppose that's up to Lee and how he gets his kicks. But the misuse of the word 'anarchy' has been noted. >:(

Welcome old horse to the knackers yard :) I agree the above, stick with vanilla. I think fellow forumers have you sorted out already but you're welcome to PM me too if you have any questions. My first death was a fall from a building.... so take it easy out there!

It all becomes clear, I should have known :rolleyes:

Ah fellow Phil, good point. When I'm driving in DayZ I feel like a mobile target. I agree it's all about the fixing up rather than the actual driving.

A link to google? lol There's some cheekiness around the forum today :lol:

lol I nominate Rutger Hauer :D

Very true and knowledge of this won't stop the rage when people find their characters and inventories refreshing on numerous occasions. :) It's the double edged sword of playing a game while still in comparatively early development. I will get the SA at the earliest opportunity and the most I expect is that I may in some small way be helping with the testing. To see it otherwise would be quite foolish :rolleyes:

I've been playing for a year or so. I remember the spring of 2012 when I first started to hear about DayZ and I found some footage on youtube. At the time I was still mostly a console gamer and only had Civ 5 on my laptop. I badly wanted to play DayZ but didn't think my laptop would be able to handle it. I spent months drooling over DayZ videos and got really excited when Dean said he planned to make a standalone. I watched and waited for info, I then joined the forum and then my impatience finally won over and I tried installing the mod on my laptop. Best decision I ever made. My laptop handled DayZ really well on low settings and I could get 30 - 40FPS (outside of cities) but I started hankering to play on a desktop. A nice chap called BF John and another, Aitchy, would educate me on things PC related while playing DayZ and I decided to save up to get a decent rig. John even showed me around a motherboard and how things work so I had a good idea of what I wanted. So, I'm getting off point, here I am a year or so later and I'm still playing DayZ at least once or twice a week. I just have this need to log in. I play on a few servers, I have a Takistai warlord on Musty Epoch, a ghillie in the mist on DayZ vanilla public, and various characters on various other mods depending on which map I fancy playing. How about you guys? What brought you to DayZ Do you still get on much and if not, why not?

I wish I was 12 :lol:

Just to let you know I've reported your post 'mate'. Maybe your old dear won't mind reading that but mine would :)

Well, you're going to love the SA then eh! :lol: Personally Chernarus is my favourite map and vanilla too. I do like Taviana.... and Namalsk when the temperature guage is working.... but as I've said probably before there's nothing quite like a new spawn in Chernarus with the sea whispering behind you and only the heart of darkness awaiting you.

Ha! Glad I stayed up late :) in solidarity with the SA team! These guys must be running on pure adrenalin. Rocket, if you ever actually stop working on the SA it might be your undoing. Moral: never ever stop :rolleyes: :lol:

I get that I suppose but until the SA comes out there's not a lot to compare. I know a lot of people have been put off by the cod mentality pervasive in many servers and I suppose there's just that fatigue of playing the same game too much and for too long :) I dunno, I suppose I still get some of that early excitement even now, on those evenings where I'm really engrossed and not being disturbed by the sounds and sirens of hackney via the open window :D

Yeah I forgot about that. I often decide which server depending on how long I think I have play-wise. I do a lot of skulking between the airfields mostly, haven't been to Elektro in ages!

It does make you wonder what wonderful ways people will find to leech off the Standalone, I wasn't aware of half of what goes on with Origins so thanks for the info.

I really enjoy reading Hick's enthusiasm, these guys are really proud of their game, it will be worth the wait and after release will get better and better. The rest will be up to us :)

Just downloaded day z today. Had a few niggles but thanks to a very helpful forum soon read of a similar problem and fix. Cheers everyone x

Ha, just found my first thread, thanks to Derpy Hooves, Sula and Fraggle for the welcome and the beans! This was back in 2012 when DayZ was DayZ. Me: Just downloaded day z today. Had a few niggles but thanks to a very helpful forum soon read of a similar problem and fix. Cheers everyone x Sula and theozzyoscar333 gave their beans Derpy_Hooves: You are very welcome!! Enjoy your time and if you have any problems feel free to ask away!! Welch: Niggles? Fraggle: Lol, it's an English term for small issues or similar. OP - Glad to see you found the forum useful.

lol stop you'll get everyone hyper ventilating :D

Yep, I really want to contribute and help make this a fantastic game. That should be the main focus of the alpha. I did offer my services to test mod updates but never got a reply :rolleyes:

I have one week holiday left to take between now and christmas, I'm holding back on booking a date in case the SA is released before the end of the year. Me my new uber PC, Dayz SA and a week off work. Bring it on :)

I think this advice may fall on deaf ears but your optimism is truly inspiring :)

Man, I'm trying to get this back on OP, I almost spat out my tea when I read that :D

I'd follow Orlok's advice. Find a low pop vanilla server and just enjoy. Get a feel for the game and for the environment. And the controls. Have a go on the Arma tutorials too :)

I don;t know which way to look :o :o
