In the year 2525... when this thread is still alive, when the devblog has arrived.

Lol what a coincedence, I watched Blade Runner today. :)

This video really made my day. Thanks dev team. And btw, I'm just here for da chips xD

I just wanna post my opinion on diseases. I honestly think it's one of the best features. I play on Namalsk lately, and I gotta admit, the way it implements the temperature system is very good. On Namalsk I have learned that weapons aren't the most important thing in DayZ. I was all geared up, m4 CCO SD(12 extra clips), G17 etc. but I was shaking cold, coughing and couldn't find any food. My blood indicator went red and I took my last chance to write on the side chat and ask for help. And a guy responded, he had antibiotics and a helicopter. I told him my position, marked the spot with a green smoke grenade, 5 minutes later he landed. I layed down all my weapons to show my respect, and he gave me cure. My first friendly experience after playing DayZ since early Juli :). The point I'm making is: when people have to rely on each other, in order to survive, then this game can be more than about bandit killing and avoiding people.

The first day is gonna be awesome! Everything will be new and fresh again. Remember the first time playing DayZ, for me atleast it was very creepy. My hopes are that standalone will be like a completely new experience. And I will roam around Chernarus and explore it again...without any loot maps!

Intel i5 is a 4 core cpu? Do you use DayZ Commander? Go into settings-> Game launch options -> additional launch parameters and type in: -nosplash -cpucount=4 -exThreads=7 That raised my average FPS by 15 frames.

I like to play most games with the Xbox controller. But it doesn't really work for Arma, you can adjust the settings, the game wasn't designed for this though. And besides, when you play console games online, it's allright cause everyone has to aim with the analog stick, so why would you like to have a huge disadvantage to the other players in DayZ?

And a new urban legend was born. Don't mess with the cows, they will haunt you!

What da hell did I just watch O_o

I just got kicked from the server (#45 something), I found a ghillie and right when i klicked "wear it" I got kicked. Edit: It seems I'm not the only one. :P

Welcome to Arma! :)

* [REMOVED] BAF_L85A2_RIS_CWS From Loot table. I looted an L85 of off a bandit the other day, the first time I found one. Still have it in my backpack, will it be gone when I patch? Haven't fired it yet, but i thought the scope kind of sucks. He was sitting on a rooftop in Cherno(it was night time) and killed unarmed players. I snuck up behind him with my CCO SD.

Thanks alot mate, haven't seen that video yet!

Rec 3 style ftw! :P

It would be awesome if you stumble upon a dead body of a player, who has been eaten by zombies and the guts are hanging out with a pool of blood. That would add to the horror aspect. I like the melee system in Dead Island, to cut limbs off with an axe would be a great addition to DayZ. Of course only on zombies, I'm not so sure about the player characters. If you would shoot someones arm off with a 12 gauge(not sure if that's even possible) he should immediately die. That means, if you give someone the death shot, it should destroy something. Most important gore in a zombie game is on the zombies. IMO

And we are all curious to see, how the outcome will be. What a poem :P Yeah I know that video and the zombies move alot smoother than in DayZ, but I'm sure Team Rocket can even top that.

USA would be cool, because they have those huge malls with gun shops inside. If my informations based on a '78 movie are still correct. :D Honestly I would like to see bigger citys, doesn't matter where it is set.

What about DragonballZ? Oh wait wrong forum.... It should be called DayZ. Because everyone out there already knows that title.

When I hear crowbar and car, I can only think of smashing the windows or maybe breaking the doors open. You can not remove any car parts with only a crowbar, trust me. We already have the toolbox, that would be far more useful. Right now you can find engine blocks and carry them around... yeah sure - I can take 200kg on my back. Remove that completely and put some useful parts in like spark plugs, thermostats or starter batteries, alternators to replace and make cars run again. Those would be some common parts to wear off in such a cold environment. As someone stated before, the most useful function of the crowbar should be to break barricaded doors open.

^ Yep, I'm pretty sure they are working on new clothes/textures for the standalone.

Yeah Zombie U seems to be a really interesting game and it has perma death aswell. But I think it is single player only, that's ok. I'm not gonna buy a WiiU for one game though. ;) And about WarZ stealing DayZ's ideas: You can't prevent that. It happens all the time, with all the other video games. And that is a good thing in a way, because competition is good, games evolve and some day we might get that (near)perfect Online-Horror-Survival-Game. DayZ is just the beginning.

I'm fine with most of the weapons, the only problem seems to be the handgun, no matter which one. Zombies take around 6 body shots from the 9mm pistol, that seems ok when you compare it to zombie movies or the old Resi games. When it comes to PVP, you're gonna have problems. I give 2 examples: 1. I was attacked by a guy from behind in 10m range, he had a 1911 and hit me 3 times before I turned around and one shot him with my Enfield. I should've dropped from those 45 bullets, or get unconscious. 2. There was a guy in the super market with an axe, I walked in slowly and aimed at him with my Makarov, as he started to run at me, I opened fire, unloaded the whole clip in his upper body. He hit me, broke my legs and finished me off. :) Won't happen to me again, but I'm sure that a 9mm should be able to drop someone from 5m distance with no problem.

Hahaha Gary Oldman rocks! This community is funny sometimes. I've never seen anyone who bought Oblivion just for the mods and asked if he'd get a discount on Fallout 3. :D :P

I stopped playing DayZ in september I think.. it was 1.7.2.4 still. I logged out in the woods somewhere, with all my amazing equipment. I survived with this character for 3 weeks or so. Well I started playing this monday again and I logged in, to my surprise I still had all my stuff. I was actually laughing cause I was so lucky, in the next second a hacker spawns infront of me and kills me with an AS50. That was the most frustrating moment in my DayZ time so far. Followed by some fun, I respawned on the coast, the hacker spawned aswell, but now I was prepared and I managed to dodge his bullets for good 15 minutes. It's funny when they can't aim :D
