I'll be calling Bakerland home from now on. I'll bring my crew over too. Nice work Baker, keep it up dude!

You live in England and bitch about sunshine? What's wrong with you?

BAHAHAHA Dude that's brilliant. I love how everyone stands around leaning right like a spacker when typing.

I was lucky enough to be given the alpha by a fellow forum member, big-ol-thanks to you buddy, much appreciated. Tonight I got my first proper session in. We were four of us, all from the UK, playing on a server hosted in Holland. The technical aspect was flawless. No lag, no rubberbanding, no disconnects, nothing. Genuinely impressed. The server was empty for the most part, at one point there were 8 people on the server which is as high as the count went, which probably plays a large part in the issue-free experience. The gameplay is simply excellent. I played for about 3-4 hours, with a few small glitches with inventory, and one where someone dropped some ammo for me and it fell through the floor to the floor below. No biggie. None of use had issues, it was fairly smooth and the FPS never dipped below 30 at its worst (specs to follow). For an Alpha this is very good. I've played a few alphas in my time but this one stands head and shoulders above them in terms of reliability and stability. The graphics are good, the shipwreck looks like it is a true labour of love, whoever created that needs a pat on the back. The sounds need some serious work. The M4 sounds like a pellet gun (Tritton Pro+), the zombie combat is simply awful and hitting walls with an axe sounds like a bullet ricocheting. Obviously this is an Alpha so I can't complain, see this as feedback / input. I love that so many buildings are enterable. Really adds a whole new layer to the game, and a gazillion hiding spots if the heat gets turned up. I seem to spawn in quite thirsty. I'd recommend for anyone spawning in for the first time to find a pond and drink until you can't any more. You'll need to be in first person to drink, otherwise it won't work. You'll need to drink a lot. At first I thought the game was glitched or something, but decided to stick with it and eventually I was told that I'm stuffed. This made the game much more pleasant than my first few lives which were spent looking for drinks. If you fill up at a permanent water source, thirst will hardly be an issue. Hunger is a bit of a pain. We ran far this evening, probably the same distance as circling the map twice. I was almost permanently hungry, which became a bit of an annoyance. Nothing major, but if that could be tweaked down a tad, that'd be great. The loot table is obviously fairly small, I have so far had a revolver, a mosin and an M4. Don't know if there are many more weapons in the game, but for now I found that adequate. Obviously adding more over time will be great, but for now it's perfect. The melee system is one thing I sorely missed in the mod. You're walking around with two punchers on the end of your arms and can't use them, bit of an annoyance. To see that implemented in the standalone really put a smile on my face, nice work Dean and Co. Can't wait to batter someone to death with a fire extinguisher. Of course the game needs some love still, and I'm sure Dean has loads of plans, but I'm curious to find out what the priorities are. Personally I'd go with tents, it would at least give us something to work towards, even if it's hoarding lovely stylish shoes for the missus. Vehicles would also be great, as would hunting. Definitely a very good product. Not perfect, but then it is an alpha so it can only get better. Once we start seeing more and more features implemented, I can easily see this becoming the PC game of 2014.

Yes you do baby, yes you do.

Nope, nothing. Are you still playing on that laptop? That could cause issues. I'm running an i5 2500k, 8gb, a 250gb Sammy 840 EVO and an R9 290. Smooth as a baby's bottom.

Same potential as Pewdiepie? To squeal like a little bitch over and over again? I think you're marketing this wrong. Pewdiepie does my head in. I honestly can't believe I share the same planet as that.

God bless the day this kid stops talking about himself.

How butthurt do you get when you die in Dayz? :)

"Butthurt" Are you 8? -
Dayz doesn't support sli as far as I'm aware.

This is the mod section mate, if you scroll up a bit you'll get more replies in the standalone section. Or ask a mod to move it. Max Planck will reply if you use his horn.

Fuck all these naysayers. If you want to shoot unarmed people, then shoot them. This is a zombie apocalypse, not paintball. I think it's weak, and I wouldn't appreciate it at all, but it's the nature of the game.

Apple, get drunk. LET'S DO THIS!

No need to apologize mate, I wasn't referring to you at all, but rather those who overlooked the forum that your post was in ;) If you have any more issues, post them here and I'm sure myself or others will be able to help out!

I can't bring myself to buy this game. After months and months of anticipation the game has finally arrived and I'm sitting on the fence. It's hard to explain, it might be that I'm just bored of games in general at the moment, but I still enjoy some other games so it's weird. Dunno.
-
Game's gonna hafta wait, xmas is proving to be rather expensive this year. I must admit, I'm dying to play it though.

Dayzhopeful, you are in a phase right now that you will look back upon one day and go "damn, those were the days". The whole thing about DayZ is the adventuring, the exploring, the fighting for your life and trying to make do with the resources you have. Once you know how it all works and where to go, much of the game is lost sadly. Enjoy this "noobishness" while you can.

What? Chainsaw? What is wrong with you people, use a proper fucking saw and stop killing the polar bears!
