I sense so much butt-hurt. :huh: I feel that everyone complaining about a release date is about 10 years old and is still having trouble sleeping the week before Christmas because it isn't coming soon enough. I feel that everyone should be overjoyed that FOR ONCE there is a game studio that would like to actually make sure their game is semi-decent before release. We are all extremely lucky to still have the mod and its dozens of variants to play while we wait, all of which are still pretty exciting and fun for me after over a year of playing. People shouldn't care about losing 'hype' or anything of that sort. The game would still be fun, just like the mod still is, with a lesser amount of people.

I'm actually excited for if it releases after summer. I'm a college student and far too busy during the summer with outdoor activities such as backpacking and riverboarding. If it releases during the fall, I'll already be contained to a room studying and then I'll have the Standalone during my breaks. I won't have to miss any of the early development. Just remember that even if it sucks for some people, it can always be a bonus for others. :)

PCGN hands down if you like Origins. We usually range from the Top 4 - Top 15 most populated.

I think you just had the rare instance of a extremely bad odds and perhaps a little bit of a bug. Occasionally for me too I have random zombies aggro much farther than they usually do. Some pine trees don't provide 100% protection from every direction either (I don't know why). You probably got a bad zombie 'roll' on their attack damage that hit. I think everyone has been 1 hit K/O'ed by a zombie once in their career.

DayZ has not been out for 2 years. It has been out for barely more than 1 year. They have only been working on the Standalone since last August and only decided to do the complete overhaul that winter.

This is a virus, similar to 28 Days Later and unlike The Walking Dead. In 28 Days Later, the zombies can bleed out and will die of starvation because it is a virus. In The Walking Dead, people can be cut in half and still drag themselves around and then after death they will become a zombie. Two different things, just based on how the infection type is.

When you flinch at the sound of helicopters and then try to find the direction they are coming from.

Invisibility - the state of an object that cannot be seen. ROFL. If they are invisible, how do you see them? As per the OP - Don't ever log out in town. Make sure you always log out in the woods prone under a tree.

inb4 graveyard (wrong section BTW)

They sent everyone who is registered on their sites an email about that. I don't want to misquote it though since I don't have it anymore.

You can throw a Molotov about 50m with pretty good aim depending on the bottle. I've messed around with some buddies quite a few times when I was younger. Unless you score a direct hit or the gasoline splashes a little bit, your target won't be burnt much at all. It's the rough equivalent of being able to run your finger over a candle really quickly if they don't get gas on them. Soft objects, such as humans, usually aren't enough to crack the bottle, thus they aren't really effective verse humans at all. As per vehicles though, the gas gets in all of the cracks.

I completely agree. Nobody ever really knows why some games go viral and others don't. Of course there are factors that make it interesting and unique but most games do that. Nobody ever plans why things go viral. As per the Standalone, we can all make speculations but we won't know until it comes out if it will get the same acclaim as the Mod. Personally, I will get it and probably a lot of people on here, but from there I don't think anyone can truly know where it will go.

I don't think that this problem can be solved well in the current mod. I'm just excited for the Standalone's clothing options. I'm pretty sure a person in a Ghilly, camo clothing, or kevlar vests is much more hostile than someone in a bright orange rain parka.

You can make an account on Gamers Platoon for free. It's no harder than making any other account.

I don't see how it doesn't "fit." I can see it having problems with the current engine, but I think it's a well thought out idea for the Standalone compared to most first posts.

"Fire as in shot?" - Is not a sentence. "Or fired as in job wise..." - Is not a sentence 'What are you implying? Do you think I should be fired as in shot or as in job wise?' I'm not a grammar nazi in any way, nor do I always use correct grammar. At least I don't announce that I am something and then fail in being so. -(On topic) There are plenty of other mods to keep people like me interested in the game. There are a couple of DayZ Mod maps that haven't even been released yet. Plenty of new content and experiences is keeping me interested.

You should get fired as a grammar nazi.

First, this is your old thread where you ask the same question: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/143181-download-arma-ii-complete-collection-and-dayz-didnt-work/ Second, If you have the game through steam, I would verify your file cache. If you launch through DayZ Commander, I would either reinstall or recheck your DayZ File.

Well he created a thread about being a grammar nazi. Then, while introducing his thread, he made multiple grammatical errors. Some people just don't like hypocrisy.

Hey there! I wish you luck in finding people to play with. I still play DayZ and now many other games with my friends I found through here over 9 months ago.

If you are interested at all in DayZ Origins, you should check out our server listed in my signature. We are a huge gaming community that has been around since 1999 - http://www.pc-gamers.net

Hey, First, do yourself a favor and download DayZ Commander. Second, update yourself to the newest version. Third, realize that there are over 20 DayZ Mods. You can download more than just the vanilla, but filter your searches for only vanilla DayZ or the Mods that you choose to download. Fourth, grayed out servers are the wrong version. Only choose ones that are highlighted in white. Enjoy!

Because you have to set up all of the server files. It was never meant to be a single player game. I'm assuming that you are just having trouble playing the game because you are joining servers that have bad pings, wrong versions, or are maps that you haven't downloaded. Remember, you can only play games on DayZ Commander shown in white or it won't work.

Alright, well you can't just set up a game that way. It's much more complicated than that and takes a bit of modifying files. If you search it though, you can find some tutorials on it. I can guarantee you 100% though that you will get completely bored of a single player within a week of playing though. The zombies aren't a challenge at all. What you should do is just learn how to search on DayZ commander better. If servers are grayed out it means that they are the wrong version. Learn to use the filter function to just filter for servers that have low pings and are the version you want to play or download.

So how did you set up your game? What method did you use? As per getting on servers, what are you using to try to enter servers? DayZ Commander?
