    Server will go online again when we can pay it - this month we had barely enough to pay the webserver - we downgraded the webserver to have more money next month for the DayZ server but still its about 80€ left.

     

    Okay, thanks. Fingers crossed that you will soon, it was a really great server to introduce my friend to and show him the ropes. :D Praise to you for having a PvE server, without it I would have never considered playing again. :)

    I've always thought it would be nice to make a little camp way out in the woods where my friend and I could make our little outpost where we'd have a couple tents, fireplace, and a little farm area, but I always thought it would be really cool to make wooden barricades to square off an area to make a small outpost. Barricades would also be useful for keeping the zombies and players away from killing the player. I was thinking in order to make these barricades you would have to get logs from chopping down trees as well as sticks. You would then need a tool such as a hammer, then you would find nails (In residential and industrial areas) to make them. I find that it would be really useful to make outposts, camps, or trading camps. It would be cool to see how creative players can get with them, ranging from making a safe zone for other people to rest in, camps, or even large bases out in the woods.

    Are you going to find a M16 profile Buffer,buffer tube and buffer spring, M16 gas tube and the proprietary castle nut wrench and some Molybdenum for the barrel threads lying around in Chernarus? It would be more plausible to find prefabricated M16A4s, especially seeing how it's the primary service rifle of the US marines and their deployment in Chernarus is canon.

     

    Well played lol. Sure why not let's just throw M16A4s in xD

    I do like the amount of weapons we have so far in game, it seems like we have a good share of military grade weaponry and civilian weapons. I would love to see a Tokarev TT-33 pistol make its way in or a respective reproduction version like the one produced by Zastava Arms. As for adding an M16A4 I simply think that you should be able to convert the M4 into an M16 by finding a fixed M16 stock, hand guard, and barrel. I do agree with previous posters, the PP-19 Bizon should definitely make an appearance in the future, we only have two SMGs so far.

    My scariest moment would have to be this:

    I finally bought the game for my friend so I wouldn't have to be a lone survivor. So I hopped on my favorite PvE server, showed him the ropes, let him kill a few zombies, no problem. We were looting near the factory plant North of Solnichniy. I was searching the houses near the barn behind the factory, my friend was searching the barn when he suddenly tells me he fell off the stairs and broke his legs. I thought, okay, I can easily get sticks, I have a hatchet and rags to make a split, a couple painkillers to ease the pain. I was well equipped and ready to take on any zombies that would happen upon us. So I went over to a small bush to chop it into sticks, as I'm getting ready to craft the split two zombies just come out of nowhere and attack my beloved ass, forcing me to jump out of my chair and blast my fear into my mic over Skype. Luckily my friend had his Mosin ready and blasted one while I'll picked the other one's brain with my pickaxe. Literally one of the most scary moments ever, they just came out of nowhere and made no groaning or snarling until they attacked my rear.  After that little incident we were on the road again and laughing it off. Aha..gotta love those zombies that want to make your rear-end their 5 o' clock rump roast.

    If you haven't already guessed it, but I've been spending my time in DayZ alone, paranoid that a bandit is just around the corner ready to kill me. Simply put, I would like to have a couple of survivors that are willing to survive zombies and kill any bandits that try and mess with friendly survivors in our way. This group is aimed towards friendly survival, no killing players unless they fire at us or they are bandits. My play times are usually in the morning around 9am EST to whenever you wish to have me on!

     

    Here's my requirements:

     

    Must have mic for in game voice chat

    Must be older than 13

    Mature please, I don't mind jokes every now and then

    Friendly :D

    Speak English :P

    US players (Recommended)

     

    Post your steam name on this topic and I will add you. PM me for any other details you might want to add!

     

    Thanks!

     

    Also post your location in game, if you don't feel comfortable posting your location in game you can tell me on steam.

    Its an alpha mate...im pretty suprised that they have 2 types of "long range" weaponary, 1 working handgun,the revolver cooming pretty soon,and 6-7 melee weapons! It was not planned to give you a stack of guns(like all types of modern FPS)...more will be added soon enough.

     

    The revolver already has been added in :P

    There is some moral already in the game, but it happens when YOU are playing, You are experiencing moral as you are playing this game. You feel scared, lonely and even defenseless and above all PARANOID when your mind starts to play games and make you think: "ZOMBIE RIGHT BEHIND YOU, RUN DAMMIT!" even when there isn't one. When you get paranoid from playing you start feeling every building you enter will cause you to be shot or eaten, you feel like you need to sprint through this hospital because you feel like you're being watched by an nonexistent sniper. 

     

    I do like the overall idea that you're suggesting but It would be hard to have moral, and how would the game know when you are talking to another survivor to increase moral and remove the "I could use a chat"? Would be hard to implement most things but I like the idea!

    DayZ is real time (each in-game day is 24 hours), so adding an age system would be a waste of time and effort

     

    I'm not saying add aging, just pick an age that you start at. So if your character is 30 something then they can look 30 something. Adding an age system would be too much work, just have a starting age that defines how old your character is.

    Yes, I would also like clothes to have different bonuses, not only visual. Like hoodie sweter is good for cold times, a thick jacket decreases the chances of being wounded from zombies, which is realistic because it's hard to wound somebody with your bare hands if he's wearing a thick jacket, some could work as a little camo.

     

    That is a good idea, I wear an orange raincoat in the game atm and it would be nice if it gave a little bonus so you have a slightly less chance of getting wounded.

    So I've thought of this everytime I look at my suited up post-apoc survivor and think: Why doesn't this badass have a beard or some long hair? How come I can't change his face up a little?

     

    I would like to see Rocket add more depth to appearance. Currently you can change your skin type, your gender, and what color t-shirt, jeans, and shoes you wear at the moment. But I want to see more player customization, i do love the clothes i find and wear on my journey, but having more in depth player appearance customization would make your character stand out (or at least a little) rather than having the exact same face as everyone else.

     

     

    Possible Customizations:

    1. Eye color

    2. Body mass (skinny or fat)

    3. Hair color and hair styles.

    4. Scars

    5. Facial hair 

    6. Age (won't affect gameplay, just what the character looks like at that age.)

     

    Things I'd like to see which I think would be immersive:

     

    1. Craftable or findable journals for players to write their stories rather than using a sheet of paper.

    2. Craftable or findable dogtags, so when you find a dead survivor you knew the person's name

     

     

    Feedback welcome!

    I don't think the length of time that they took to release tha game has anything to do with it, I think the lack of content means that it doesn't have the same amount of replay value that the mod did.

     

    We need more weapons, more clothing and more items in general. In the mod you would find an Enfield, then an M4 or an AK and then an M14 or FAL. You had to work your way up. Now you just find an M4.

     

    This will come with time, just be patient.

     

    I agree 100% people need to have patience, the .357 Revolver was just added, I have yet to find one. But importantly, paitence is key at this point!

    There needs to be the legendary Kalash in the game. We just need to wait for it to come to us! There should be some decent civilian weapons added too like a 12 guage mossberg 500 hunting shotgun, A Ruger 10/22, and a Ruger Mk. II pistol. There should be some Russian civilian guns as well! I feel like finding an AK would be pure gold! Although I do love my Mosin (both in game and in real life!)

    I would love to team up and survive alongside a veteran. I got some good gear not too long ago if you're looking for an extra man on the team. add me on steam, I'll hop on whenever you want me to! I've grown tired of being the lone wolf afraid to roam far! Please msg me on steam soon!

    Honestly I've only came across one guy before I bled to death in Balota. We both had the same fireaxes, he backed away as i did. Never came after me. Just because the game is PvP doesnt mean every single human being you come across is going to shoot you into swiss cheese. You can't really be a lone wolf forever either, you eventually should group up and strengthen yourself, and not be so paranoid about other players trying to kill you. When I am alone I am very scared that I will come across someone, even when I THINK i hear footsteps I run like hell, my heart pounds, but thats whats fun. I've personally never have been killed by a player before. I personally would like PvE servers but hell, the paranoia keeps me alert. I would like to be in a group though at some point.

     

    Try to enjoy the game. The map is so huge what are the odds of coming across a player? I only did once out of 10 game sessions of about 1 hour or 2 hours. And if you join in a group you won't even need to worry about other players coming to shoot you dead.

    In order to really make sure that "I'm thirsty and I'm Hungry" messages stay away for a good time is to fill your belly up good.

     

    I came across a well pump behind a house and drank a lot of water until i was "Well-fed" which means you dont have to eat and drink for a bit.

     

     

    But here's some advice: Sprinting and Running cost hyrdation. So make sure you keep a brisk pace, not marathon running. Once you find a canteen you shouldnt have to worry too much. I havent found any water bottles, just soda and food.

     

    Hope this helps anyone!

    Much better than  in the Mod, as of now if you got a pistol you are set as they run straight and die to 2 shots. Melee can be problematic, for melee with a single Z can easily lead to death.  I'm still trying to figure out relative effectiveness of melee weapons and items that can be used as weapons.

     

    Fireaxe will kill in one hit. I've killed two alone with a single hit with my fireaxe. My first weapon was a Pipe Wrench which takes a lot more hits. In short Blunt weapons take longer. Find a knife or a sharp edged weapon like a crowbar or an axe. Hope this helps!

     

    Live Long and Survive!
