Thanks man.

Ok so I have my new face 'Walter White' Yet I can only select it on my other profile name which I obviously don't want (people know me a bit in game as 'Chuck Morris'. what do?

This video just isn't helpful man, although I guess it's made for intermediate editors?

The admin has one so isn't that an indication that they are allowed? or do admins have special rules for themselves.

30 minute bleed outs are rather...fun.

Good luck getting a chopper lol.

Probably because first person only is awful.

My friend is going to put up a thread on this and many other things later, it'll be pretty great so watch out for it. ;)

Damn, KoS is lame though, don't you guys have any social skills?

I was worried this would be the main opinion :lol: Now I have to rethink my strategy.

Definitely. I've said this before. Survival/PvP/Zombies. The Zombies in SA should be a side dish, they CAN be deadly but after hardening to the game and learning loot spots they should be a deadly nuisance. Survival should be your main priority IMO then the unlikely PvP shootouts which I tend to avoid. To the point about the Z infection I don't actually mind the idea but it'd have to be EXTREMELY advanced as in, Zombie bites your arms/legs you can get a friend to amputate the struck limb which would limit you to only side arms with poorer accuracy. However to keep it simple I think you should just die and not become a Zombie.

Closed Test Status We have begun our internal closed testing (yes!) and have been working with Valve to ensure our new server browser system is working (we utilize Steam for this purpose rather than Gamespy as for ArmA2). The Server/Client architecture needs to be fully implemented before we will begin our public testing. We have not initiated our closed test that includes external people yet (such as streamers). I just hope they do a beta for server strain.

I found a guy yesterday who nearly ran me over in his Tractor he was bleeding so I bandaged him, he wouldn't reply when I asked for water or even if he was friendly, he stood still for about 3 minutes and I was in a rush to meet up with my friend before I died (8km away). I shot him 6 times but he DC'd.

That'd be awesome. Video footage would be a dream but pictures is great to.

Definitely not. Night time is possibly the best time as it really changes the perspective of everything and makes you play entirely different. SA should lose the NVGs and just have a few different lights that can be obtained. Torch : As it is. Police Torch: These are extremely bright and obviously much better for visibility.

Dayz is a sandbox game..

I don't even care if this is fake. :D

I don't think I ever will as I'm the worst shot ever :lol: I'll stick to helping.

Sadly...I'm very very nervous around survivors I see as everybody has just shot me on sight. It felt awesome helping some dude in Cherno find a Makarov so not sure why many people are just dicks.

Map/Compass/Day + Night (Twilight)/Bandage/Hunting Knife. It's awesome at night I survived on my first ever go for 30+ hours through day and night and only died because of a hacker. Night is EERIE as hell man.

http://support.dayzmod.com/knowledgebase.php?action=displayarticle&id=15 That has system requirements also Dayz destroys your processor so make sure you buy one which is quad core. This thread will likely be moved to 'canIrunit' thread but you'll find help in there.

Will have a closer read of this soon.

The Zombie genre is a genre lost by the console cycle -one game is made others copy, cycles and cycles until I get bored and buy a PC-, The Zombie genre is about this ' "to criticize real-world social ills—such as government ineptitude, bioengineering, slavery, greed and exploitation—while indulging our post-apocalyptic fantasies For example. DayZ does these things in bold and sticks to 'my' vision of what a Zombie game should be like. Now let's have a look around at other games that do this...oh wait there are none, Left 4 Dead is a mindless shooter, Dead Island is Left 4 Dead with a bit of free roam, Resident Evil hasn't belonged to the Zombie genre since number 2, more likely Resident Evil is in the mutant genre, similar to that of L4D and DI (Mutant zombies which don't make gameplay better IMO). As for the Zombie genre being 'done to death' well it genuinely isn't, perhaps you could have a case for shooters but Zombie games? Nope, especially not done right.

Why can't it have a pack-a-punch as well.

That's great to hear man, nice one.
