Love the game, cant wait until its all done, Just wish there was more news and/or info, on what is happening with the infected. Considering it is a game based around the infected, would love to see what loving is happening to them. Keep up the good work!

yeah, I got in game... started playing, beat a zombie with a hockey stick, then all the servers went POOF again ;)

Started the game, found nothing anywhere near the coast, which is good. Had 4 infected after me a long while. Stopped and played a bit of boxing with them. got hit once,was bleeding but won the fight. lost blood. Got down to starving. BUT got over the hill from Cherno. There was a nice little hidden village. Cans of food, a hoe, water, and loads of berries. WHEN you come back from a black and white screen, your starving, you have beaten infected to death with your bare hands, then you live through all that. THATS what I am talking about. Now have pump shotty with grip, loads of cook meats, loads of ammo and well kitted out to survive. DAYZ, the way it ought to be :)

Are the exp servers up? Loaded the 1.1 gig and switched to Exp on steam, but cant see any servers ...

thats what one might call, "really eating the meat"!! , sorry , bad I know...

Yes, what a lot of people don't know, because there is no sound for it, is that your M4 can be single shot or fully auto with a press of a button.

I wish you two would take this sort of banter else where. One of you is very helpful, the other is just plain annoying. You can figure out which one is which :) , have fun kiddies ;P

Bloody third-person players, you have magic cameras to assist in every fire-fight...try that in first person ;)

That's the whole point, either find a master place from which to do your "pvping" from, so that your enemies get the zombies and not you, or learn some trigger control ;)

Iam guessing most of the folks which are complaining about the "Infected" and want them to be slow, have not yet played the MOD from which this game came from and is based. THEY were always ment to be fast and aggressive. I will say it one more time. WATCH Dean Hall, HE is watching 28 days later to show the team what he wanted in the "infected". Then he did the fast running infected animations for the MOCAP. YOU can kill them without a head shot because they are "infected humans" not Dead shambling zombies...if you want the slow type of zombies in a sandbox survival, there is a few out there doing it. BUt you wont find romero or the walking dead style world with the dayz standalone or the dayz mod. Deadn has stated many times he uses the word "zombie" loosely but he has always wanted them more like the infected humans of 28 days later . YOu will either have to wait for someone to do that very well in a game,the walking dead style world which would be amazing if done right, or wait for some kind of mod to be made in a year or so of this game. Until then, try State of Decay or dead rising 3, they do slow zombies pretty damn well :)

you can have romero style walkers zombies in state of decay. One of the best sandbox zombie games ever. you have all the dead Risings which have walkers. you have the undead mod for arma2, which was out before dayz, which have walkers if you choose or fast ones, you have breaking point for arma3 which are walkers. With one simple mod, you can turn Dead Island into walkers and romero world. you have project zomboid which you can set to both. More if you include ubisofts zombie U, which I have been told may come to pc, and then later this year you have dying light which have walkers and runners! and you say no zombie sandbox games that have walkers??!! , shame on you sir ;)

They actually run just as fast or faster in the mod, so the infected in dayz have always been this fast. IN the mod, they are right on your heels until you loose em or deal with them. THAT is how they are in the mod, that's how they are in dayz standalone. As they should be. Best get used to it, or perish ;) (watch Dean Hall making the animations for them, he is watching 28 days later then getting the MO-CAP done, it has always been his intention to have fast "infected humans" not slow walking zombies. There is plenty of games that do that already :)

I have a short clip of one standing still, just ran up and bashed it..BUt as far as people are saying the new "infected" are too hard..I deal with them ok, just with an axe. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyM3NbeATvM&feature=youtu.be

haha was thinking the same thing as you, with what Cottoxgaming was saying...where is my redwine, I need a drink after these forums at times.

they are infected humans, think 28 days later, not shambling dead bastards...so yeah, they could catch a fully rested and energized person. then beat the living crap out of them, simply because they don't know fatigue or pain at all. I think the infected in dayz are great now, and with the spawn and clipping fixed over the next year or so, THEY will be a real threat as they should always be.

If you watch Rocket's MO-CAP vids, he is actually watching 28 days later for all his inspirations in dayz. He wanted to go down the infected "Living humans" route, hence you can take them down without heads shots and they can run. Romero in one of his longest interviews from the specials edition of "Dawn of the dead" spoke about how he felt, true dead people "zombies" should never be able to run and require the head or brain to be taken out. IAM with both of these ideas. I think dayz is perfectly suited for the infected as it stands. although I have always thought about adding slow zombies, but many more of them, into a mod.

oh dear...

Your a champ :)

very cool, but could you maybe highlight or underline the new features as you update them? so it makes it easy to see what has been added :) cheers

Oh no, the romance or "bromance" between him and Matt may end. Unless of course he packs little lightfoot in his case, and whisks him off to his beloved home land, and together they continue their beautiful love affair ;)

I think they should have used the Arma3 engine to be honest! but oh well....

get yourself a 2dn gen, or later, Solid-State Hard drive. Even if it just has Dayz Standalone on it. The game will love you for it ;)

Greetings folks. This is the first time I am doing a server write up, because the server I have recently started playing on, with my wife and best mate, really deserves the praise. Firstly, I had been out of the game for a few months with real life, we all know how real life can get in the way of our gaming ;), and me and my mate were going through a few servers a day, and getting any level of the normal Douche-bagery which comes with a lot of servers in these times. Admin's using tools to hunt new spawns, banned if you killed an Admin, random server resets without notice, The list wouild go on and on. Then my mate stumbled onto a real gem, and we have been playing there for 2 weeks now. It is Epoch, which we chose as a bit of a change up from the vanilla Dayz experience, But there is some very grand personal scripting and details to the server and new hand built places and towns, which really shine! The admins, Popeye and Shadow, have really spent a lot of time on the smaller details to make this server a new experience unto itself. The zombies are a real threat, and not just an annoyance, as they should be. You really have to think twice about pulling that trigger. There is a lot of custom locations around the map, which I wont go into here, for that is part of the exploring and finding out of your own. Also the prices about the traders are all custom to allow for a feel of a more balanced economy. It is a community based input server, with the admins giving high regard for what the players wish for, without ever compromising on the realism or survival aspect at all. Many addons planned for the future of the server, will take the form of making the world of dayz more of a challenge to survive everyday, in both regards to the PVP and Survivalist aspects of the game in general! Another great feature is the bounty system. If you have the means and the inclination, you can post a bounty out side of the game on the server forums, or if your feeling like a challenge, pick one up! There is nothing like placing or taking the challenge or a player bounty, to mix up the PVP aspect of the game. Lastly, I would like to mention the people which already play here. weather bandit or hero, they are a fantastic and mature bunch of lads which know how to have fun. It is a very great little community with TeamSpeak 3 setup and of course the servers own website and forums. I have gone for a different style of play, and have set myself up as the server "medic and Rescue" service, yell for the Doc should you need serious assistance. I would highly recommend giving this server a go, especially if your looking for a long term server WHICH you know will always do their best to bring you a grand experience. The details will be as follows and we hope to see you there, and in the famous words of that gun loving Russian FPS, "Have nice day" http://www.armaderp.com and the teamspeak3 details are ts.armaderp.com ~Doc-Holiday~

Great shots, now we just need, tall dark haired Russian pole dancers in the fore-ground (my wife is one of these), and those pics would be complete :) ....( I jest of course, great shots mate)
