Or... People get bored after achieving the survival goals... ^ conspiracy theorists much?

Makes sense... They have more security in number and tactics so the game becomes easier for them when they get the gear/base they need what else to do but go out and kill bandits... Problem is anyone that is armed with a longarm is a bandit in most peoples eyes... Survival of the fittest can't expect people to be nice but the fucked up thing is when someone promises you peace then shoots ya in the back of the head later =D its all part of the dayz experience.

When i get some free time and feel motivated to type some entries I will look into the invitation thanks Box -Jeremiah-

Just learn to shoot them in the face... Before you didnt need to shoot the zombies now you do that is the difference if your lone wolfing alot pull out the axe for close quarters zombie survival... Ammo is not so sparce that you can't kill some zombies with the fire arm imagine real life scenarios you wouldn't just be able to run away from them you would need to shoot em. Suck it up and adapt =D -Jeremiah-

^ Agreed...

I cannot, nor can anyone else make your decision for you, but i would like to help you decide so here is my opinion... The DayZ Mod for Arma 2 CO is a very rewarding experience especially if you plan to play the standalone. Let me throw the pros/cons at you... It is obvious that there are hundreds if not thousands of pros versus cons out there so i will just list the few obvious ones. PROS: *You will get practice before the standalone. *You will learn what DayZ is all about before purchasing the standalone which will probably cost more than $20 *You will know for sure what the game is and be able to draw your own conclusions. *Hours of fun gameplay if you end up liking it. Cons: *You will have $20 less dollars in your bank account *You may not like it or may grow old of the gameplay quickly if you aren't the type of gamer that enjoys this game style. *The game isn't the easiest/most forgetful game. *You may feel like it is a waste of time. Through my experiences whether or not you enjoy this game depends on your personality and game play style. This is a military simulator+ Zombies... If you are the type to back away from a challenge or get attached to your loadout and gear then this is not a game for you. If you enjoy a challenge and seeing how far you can go and what you can achieve before death than this is definitely a game worth trying. This game requires player skill it isn't like other games where the vets will have it made just because of the time spent in-game. As far as if new players are still regularly joining or not the answer is YES i meet 3-5 new players daily matter of fact right now the game is booming with new players everyday. This is why Rocket is so excited they are making a LOT of dough right now. There are good reasons for the hype around dayz for it is the only legit zombie multiplayer game i have experienced WARZ is a scam for the fact that they are copycats this is the real deal... Well if you do join and want to learn the game quickly let me know ill train you itll take 4 hours and you will be all set with the basics/ advanced understanding of the game from my perspective. I consider myself a standard/experienced player for i have spent many hours in-game but im still learning everyday and i have many places that i need improvement. I hope this long read helps you decide if dayz is worth the buy for you =p *let me know your decision =D* This game is easy to be excited about... I give dayzmod a 6.8 rating.. -Jeremiah-

It isn't impossible to solo matter of fact i find it simple enough... Dayz is always better with team m8s though at least thats my opinion...

I am loving the concept here =p Kudos Sir!!! When i get a tad better i will join you for the all out warfare sometimes the maps just don't have enough structured battles... Till then get your video feeds together it would be cool to see each players perspectives on what unfolds during your war link my inbox if you get a video compiled yo! -Jeremiah

Lmao you guys are a gag if you ever want to play with me id be down =p -Jeremiah

So after playing DayZ for a few months I have found myself practicing my accuracy and combat reactions in various ways. I am curious what methods you all use to become better players maybe this will become a helpful topic for newer players as well. So ill begin by sharing methods i have used... I have practiced hitting animals from 500m-800m away with various snipers&rifles. I have used Arma II CO single player to fight through some scenarios and tough situations in order to become better with the dayz controls without taking up too much time in dayz. I have scrimaged with team mates in live fire combat. I have also hunted bandits down for practice So share your methods and maybe some new idiology... What do you do to practice and heighten your abilities in DayZ?

Very cool Disorder KUDOS SIR! -Jeremiah

Glad your first experience in DayZ was a good one Jeremi I look forward to playing more with ya in the future m8 -Jeremiah-

Haha Nice ideas... =D Get Back To Tha Choppa!

I have heard of ACE and those other mods they definitely are something i want to check out. I also am thinking of throwing together a few war scenarios for a multiplayer Arma II Skirmish just for shits and gigs... Yeah Stealth is going to be a very important skill as the zombies become more accurate and realistic... The beach is a fun place to mess around in more populated servers its always funny when the bambis try to kill ya when ur helping em that ever happen to you? lol =p Balota strip is always a good place to catch n00b bandits hunting unarmed bambis. too THANKs for the input guys! Always interesting to see what other people come up with for practice...

Here is where i think DayZ standalone will go... Bare with me... They release the first video showing off the clothing system and the loot system ideas they have they also made a lot more enter-able loot-able buildings in the map and added utes island back to the map. The new loot system will require you to literally look under beds, in cabinets, in fridges, etc... Meaning that the loot will be way more realistic and require way more time to find what you need. If they are gonna go this in-depth with loot systems where do you think theyll go with the rest? I bet in the standalone version going into a city will require some very good strategies to get out alive. I'm also here to say that you all need to really polish your A-Game because if you think this mod is tough right now you are gonna be crying with the standalone. In my opinion the more realistic they take it the better it's going to be. So that is my opinion on what's to come the reason i'v shared it is to shed some light on difficulty. When the zombie hordes are scarier than the other players that's when DayZ will be correct. Right now teamwork is an option not a necessity. In a real zombie apocalypse it would be a neccessity imho. About the glitches yeah the zombies kill themselves, walk through walls, and spawn in odd places... This needs solved... I agree with that... Happy Survival! -Jeremiah-

Log out log back in. It's a communication error between you (THe Client) and the server im sure... Sometimes if lag does occur it takes awhile to get the full list of damaged items. Also as mentioned shooting said part may change the situation enough that the new packets will be sent possibly being recieved better than the last packets... This is at least my best guess/understanding of your issue.

Hey i can help you solve your battleye errors completely if you wish. Just login to my raidcall server... http://www.freewebs....chernobylgames/ follow the directions on the site to get here. As for my opinion the private hive servers are better only because they are maintained by the players who own the servers and often have ways of protecting you, The player, from script kiddies and people who will hack/cheat to waste hours of your time... -Jeremiah
