um guys...

ill bet this is one of the fastest selling steam games to date hes already got £20 of my money, and its an ABSOLUTE bargain at that price merry christmas!

yea guys, chill the fuck out, its only a game, who cares if they're funny names, so long as they keep your character alive, if you dont like it, play on another game, but these guys do some damn fine work keep it up Rocket & co!

loving the hip flask! gotta get me a vest pouch filled with JD hip flasks!

i thought it was a nice idea, maybe a little on the daft side, but thats exactly what the survivors of a zombie apocalypse need to keep their hopes and spirits up! and as long as it fills the hunger and thirst bars, its fine by me!

actually i think they ran out of room on the rock :P

jesus, i had no idea the standalone was this detailed! do we plug into it like in the matrix or something?

#4 should be void if you have no cover, going prone in the middle of a field whilst a sniper takes shots at you is asking for death... i know, i have been both the sniper and the idiot of this relationship (not at the same time of course)

yes, there is a way to make it look like windows 7 all the time, but i dont know how to do it (nor have i wanted to) let me know how to if it can somehow save me a few GB on my windows instalation, coz my SSD is packed and it only got windoes and dayz on it :P

i use win8, not a single problem with DayZ, and its far more optimised than win7, i would strongly recomend that you install it on an SSD as well for some crazy 10 second boot times

if you dont buy Arma, you can't practice flying helicopters untill you find one in DayZ... and thats a little too late to start learning unless you want to crash into a mountain or get shot by a bandit get Arma, play it BEFORE DayZ to get the hang of the controls and play style, then jump into the horror!

personally, i dont see what the "hackers" are whining about, if you want to hack your way to perfect gear, make your own damn server, but don't go ruining our games because you can't be arsed to look through a few buildings for your map and compass unless you're a non-hacking bandit, in which case you add to our fun! nothing like dodging legitimate bandits through a city

spawned into my first ever server, ready to survive in chenarus, and this is how my first life went for a few minutes: stumbled upon electro, and went straight for a church, found a ghilie suit first thing, an alice pack, and some essential tools (a bit of food/drink) made my way around the city and found most of the tools i needed (just missing compass, matches and hatchet) got cornered by zed in a building and eaten alive :D god i love DayZ! the only game where you can go from going well to dead inside of a minute with no warning :D

can anyone suggest a good private hive to keep away from the majority of the hackers? id rather not have my game ended by any hackers... much better when its Zed, Bandits, starving etc. im not fussed about which map or vehicles it uses, just something to keep the hackers away as much as possible thanks fellas

if anyone has ever read about first aid, you'll realise that shock in DayZ is almost the opposite of its rea life affliction in real life, shock is caused by excess hormones (usually adrenaline) shutting down the circulatory system, and is lethal in many cases. taking an epi-pen to cure shock would actually kill you. in real life, you need to rest and increase blood flow to the body and head (by raising the legs) (dont take my word for it, i wont be held responsible for failed first-aid killing someone!) how about this: shock acts as it does now, but with the added "benefit" of making teh afflicted fall unconcious (and die shortly thereafter) if it is allowed to manifest into SEVERE SHOCK to cure it, do what you need to! take a suitable drug (not sure myself), but definatley NOT Adrenaline (epinephrin/epi-pen) since this will shut down the respiratory system of the target... i mean casualty, or rest, allowing the body to regulate its adrenaline levels by literally calming down, and stopping any more adrenaline production through fear of death as a gameplay mechanic: recieving shock is as normal, after 5 minutes without resting (or taking suitable medication) Severe shock develops, with a 1/100 chance per second of falling unconcious, and not waking up again. if a survivor administers an epi-pen to the casualty, they die almost instantly (in fact, the anti-adrenaline medication must be injected instead) by resting, you "pause" the severe shock countdown, and after 60 seconds, the shock is removed if the shock was not from injury (IE gunfire aimed near them, severely stressing situations like being chased by a horde of zed), it will remain as normal shock, not be lethal, but still have its current effects once more, an epi-pen will almost certainly make the shock WORSE, like trying to save a drowning person by giving them a drink of refreshing mountain dew, or trying to save a burn victim by setting them alight

why are the only helicopters found with machine guns and military-style open sides (i' looking at you Huey!) what happened to all the civilian helicopters? basically, why not add something like a Robinson R22 and the Bell 206 like the huey, but with adjusted storage, seating, and removed MGs and less powerful lights (they're still equipped with landing lights, but not like teh spots on a huey) then maybe we could have 1-2 Hueys 2-3 Jetrangers (Bell 206) and a handful of Robinsons cluttering teh skies making nice targets for machine guns on the ground (or maybe even stinger SAMs?)

Well Why not make a whole new model for the bell 206 and robinson, and base the flight models on the busy and little bird respectivley (the littlebird was in arma wasn't it?)

looks pretty simple to me... you got beat to a pulp by zed

how do i get myself whitelisted? not got the game yet (new PC should arrive soon) but i want to keep away from teh hackers (don't mind the challenge of a few bandits though :P) ive got a mic if that makes any difference, but i am a stone cold bambi

put it in google images, there's loads of portraits of me ;)

iiiiiitts..... aaaaa....

if you're not using a headset (or something else with good dual-channel audio) then you'll never hear directions, only distances, invest in a headset (a cheap USB one should have dual channel as a minimum) and get some practice stalking zed or players i guess

i saw this a few days ago, and if dayz can get the zed scare factor up to a 9/10, this could make many pants brown i'd love to have something like this, but it relies on having enough money to buy it, Rocket &co. having time to make dayz oculus ready, and a computer powerful enough to run the oculus SDK on top of Dayz (probably be rather harsh on a graphics card, since it has to render two images, no idea how large each image is pixel-wise though) this is definatley the future of gaming, especially FPS/action gaming, a world first 3D, head tracking experience

ok, ill be starting my adventures round chernarus in a weeks time or so, and all ive managed to discern is that i should hide away from other players because its impossible to trust them unless you're the one with the gun pointed, but that makes them not trust you anyway personally, that seems better than meeting on level terms, because they know that you could have killed them for that L85 easily... but it wouldn't be nice to do it in the middle of Cherno or bandit-ville, since they wont be able to defend themselves... it seems that there simply is no best way to earn trust in this game... why even bother trying to find it?

hey peeps! ive found this game recently, downloaded ARMA2 free (as per a helpful guide) and ordered Operation Arrowhead ready to get the mod installed just got a couple of questions... firstly, how CPU/GPU intensive is DayZ compared to the stock ARMA2? because i tried playing ARMA2 yesterday, and the graphics glitched worse than anything ive ever seen (polygons stretching over models in very strange ways), rendering the game almost unplayable. i put this down to either A) crap graphics card (ATI Radeon 3000 onboard) or B) old firmware (every time the updater runs, it leaves my graphics software at the same version as before) if DayZ magically runs a different graphics package, then happy days... otherwise, ill have to wait toll i get a new computer Secondly, how do i go about utilising DayZ Commander once i have everything installed? do i simply let it find my game directories and install DayZ for me? or does it require some input/help from me? and in relation to my first question, i've already resolved to buy a new computer, but can somebody give me some guide as to what setup will give me good performance on reasonable settings? im planning to use THIS site to put my new computer together, but what kind of CPU/GPU/RAM should i aim for? (and will this run on Windows 8, or should i stick to 7?) sorry for the wave of questions :P thanks Grover
