Tex (DayZ)

It'd still be in the Alpha phase, and close to where it is now. They've got their schedule, and I hope they continue with both the pace and the direction. I'm also a huge fan of bases, hunting/cooking/crafting, etc (vehicles aren't really necessary when you can transverse the map in an incredibly short time). However, Rocket and company do this for a job. We do this for fun/hobby/a sadism fix. Probably best to let them do what they're employed for, and not backseat/armchair develop.

Never mind. It's all good.

Any news on what happened to the server, or when it might be back up?

Having trouble accessing the server after the latest patches for Origins and Dayz. Can you PM me/reply with the details so I can get back on? Thanks!

Check it out!

If you're interested in a fantastic server and DayZ mod to play on then I humbly suggest checking out this DayZ Origins server: Official DayZ Origins #GX zero-fps.com - The After-Life Reigns It's a fantastic community of individuals, and I guarantee you will enjoy your experience. It uses the DayZ Origins modifcation (FAQ here: http://www.dayzorigins.com/), which provides an experience that has brought veteran DayZ players back to the game (including myself). Aside from the plethora of vehicles, weapons, AI players, and different variants of zombies on the server is the ability to construct your own private - and secure - house. You can also construct different sizes of garages to park your vehicles in and store all the epic weapons you come across. One simple way to access the server is through utilizing DayZ Commander (you can acquire it here: http://www.dayzcommander.com/). Simply install DayZ Commander, click on install/update (in the top right corner of DayZ Commander), and scroll down to DayZ Origins in the mod selection list and install the modification. You need Origins 1.7.1, and an up-to-date version of DayZ. If you have any questions, or need assistance, please feel free to send me a private message. I will do my utmost to help you out, and can also provide you with the IP for the server's TeamSpeak. If you're even slightly interested then give the server a try. DayZ Origins The After-Life will provide you with one of the best, and engrossing, DayZ experiences possible.

Yeah, it's so unfair that the person paying to run the server knows where the vehicles are, and you're right that they're all assholes who're just going to horde them with their friends that you don't even know but who must of course be pathetic. GG?

People still shot people on sight, and this went for bandits on bandits and survivors on survivors + everything in between. People complained about how ridding the suits made things worse, but it clearly made the game more interesting and (if it can be said for a video game) realistic. It also probably helped increase the average life of players because instead of taking for granted that the guy in the survivor suit was their buddy they now have to consider that he may in fact just be waiting to put a round in the back of their head. You should also consider that there were a lot of people with bandit skins who'd gotten the skin because they killed a survivor shooting them when they were a survivor.

Yeah, you're in the debug desert for certain. This can happen randomly (as far as I know), and it doesn't matter what your location is. Sometimes it's frequent, and sometimes it's infrequent. From my understand (and this is probably wrong/overly simplified) it's an issue with a corruption of the data when your character saves, and the devs are working to fix it. I don't remember precisely, but I saw mention of the issue in one of the recent patch notes, and if they did fix it then it's just a lot more infrequent (i've had it happen once in the past two weeks?). It sucks, but you just have to deal with it. Happened to me yesterday right after i'd gotten grouped up with my friends the night before to raid the NE AFB. Logged on the next day and was in the debug desert. Now, there are some threads around the forums that claim to be able to fix it. Try searching for "debug desert" or "debug fix" or something similar. I wouldn't advise it though since in my experience they're not 100% fixes, and you'll end up wasting so much time that if you'd just respawned and humped it back you'd already be 3/4 of the way there. Good luck though.

Did you d/c after you left the airfield? If not, then you must have run pretty far to exit the map. I'll assume you d/c'd, and now you're in the Desert of Debug. You can try following one of the random threads about how to fix that (good luck), or you can suck it up - respawn - and start over. The latter is the quicker option. I also highly doubt there's any admin out there who is going to respawn you, and I don't even know if they can.

Learn to hide.

There are so many tears on the forums from players who want to change the game from an all out survival game to a game that holds your hand in the darkness and comforts you when you get murdered. Most are from people who should probably just play a different game they complain about ridiculous stuff, Player X complains about the open pvp and the "morality" of murdering other survivors, player Y complains about the temperature system. "It's pointless and a hinderance", player Z complains about everything that makes DayZ what it is and wants designated pvp zones, saved loot when you die, and a fucking cake to eat when you're hungry.. wtf? I'd like to encourage Rocket to make DayZ even harder, more zombies, extreme weather, maybe some blizzards and shit where you have to find a house to wait out the storm or die. I would like to see this on a map 10x the size where you spawn in a random location and your mode of transportation to where you think your friend on ts might be is a beat-up 1965 Dodge van with an erratic idle and slipping clutch. Morphine doesn't heal fractured bones and a blood transfusion isn't as simple as making a PB&j sandwich. I would like to see a world where a can of beans is worth it's weight in gold and zombies can smell tears from a mile away. I want to hear the cries of pain when you shoot someone over a twinkie that's been baking in the hot sun because you're starving to death and sharing isn't an option. A world filled with zombies of all ages; gore covered child zombies that screech as they run at you causing you to piss yourself, bony elderly zombies that scratch and crawl their way across the ground, ribs and spines protruding through blotchy pale flesh. Fuck yeah, that's what I want, I want to die in the first fifteen minutes from a zombie horde that makes my ass pucker or from a survivor in tattered cloths with a thousand-yard stare. Then I want to do it all over again. I want to fight a group of morale deprived survivors over gasoline for my shitty van, loot the corpses and continue on my way just trying to survive a minimum of 2 days before I'm eaten alive. Instead, I read about players wanting more fuzzy bunnies and rainbows, sparkling gear and health potions. You articulated exactly how I feel. Thank you, and fuck yeah.
