The Jackall

The guys at zoombies dont hand out gear except for one new bandit skin which i think is worth it. Ultimate HeroThis upgrade will give you priority access to our servers for the rest of your life!When we set up servers for standalone in the future this will apply to those servers and any other zombie-related servers we might set up! It also grants you replacement skins to the default survivor and bandit skins. For the rest of your life? Even when standalone servers are released? Sign me up thank you. I can promise you guys this. I currently play overwatch on a locally hosted server as i am not from the EU or USA, and the server is shitty and you can see it in the performance. I play Dayzero on the US servers as i cant find place in the EU servers, and the performance in general (lag and gameplay) is a huge diff.

this is a good reason from a post on the zoombies.nu site "Yes. Please dont release the server files. What alot of you people dont know and the behind the scenes of the admin and what goes on in the Breaking Point and Overwatch is unbelievable. I have a friend who has a clan and they have their own Overwatch server and Breaking Point server. The admin puts up a spectator tool to "watch out for hackers" but then as I was playing with them he was giving off the locations of players to everybody in the ts. I had a fight with him and I have yet to play any other server other than DayZero. Also he had the ability to teleport himself anywhere in the map and he could teleport anybody else. This admin is a grown ass man(in his late 20's) So imagine what all the other younger more imature admins are doing. Plus, as we have seen from Breaking Point they released the server files just so some other people can take them change a few things around and make another mod (Overwatch) which crushed BP. Not a good idea and I wont be playing anymore DayZ untill SA comes out if this happens."

i think you are wrong. the improvements are major and if you hvant seen them then you havnt been playing the game for long, or even moved down to the airfield. And do you think these servers they host on are for free? The game in general is more stable on these servers, and they are not forcing you to donate. I will be donating to thank them for the time and effort they have put into the mod.

Like i said, the skin packs are for US servers only (which i am not interested in). And I personally will not buy one of those packs as i think they are too expensive, and secondly i would love others buying them so i can kill them and take all their gear.

That's somewhat contradictory. Just saying. please explain?

just remeber the skins pack is US based only, and the other one with reserved slots only is UE based only with no skins pack.

I must admit your post made me think about a few things. The Dayzero guys are not forcing anyone to pay for their content which I think is a great approach. I do however think BI should have been profiting from their sales in some way,and if they didnt then I would be suing. Anyway, some people might prefer paying to get that extra kick from the game, and credits to the guys that put all this time and effort into one amazing mod. I actually think that they havnt just made a great Mod, but also have been marketing it brilliantly. It leaves you wanting to pay so you dont have to wait for extra slots to open up, or to start with one bandage. Also the fact that they keep their code in place and dont give it out to anyone is a good idea, as it protects the theme behind DayZero, which basically means not any dumb fuck can host a Dayzero server and fuck it up for us all. I also do feel that dropping vanillia was the biggest mistake Dean has ever made, and if he took a page from these guys he would have made some dollars already, and perhaps spend those dollars on a bigger team of developers in order to get quality and speed into the standalone (yes i know he doesnt want to rush it bla bla fucking bla). At the end i agree with your comment that modding is a hobby and skill test, but if guys can produce quality content at this scale, then i am surly willing to pay for that content too. I think the fact that they are calling it a donation and not subscription, saves them from battling in court. anyway here is the zombies donation page for those who dont know what i am talking about. And here is one of the packs available at bmrf.me

if you look at the following two things you may agree. the podagrosk map and enterable buildings?

i don't want to blame Rocket and his team for being useless, but i do think the guys behind DayZero achieved more with their version of the mod in lesser time then rocket and his did since the launch of vanilla. They have been able to fix stuff in the game which Rocket and the guys couldn't find solutions too. Maybe he should hire them and we can finally get the standalone before xmas :)

i don't think those slots are guaranteed. might be wrong.

i don't understand any of this. How are the guys making money with the Mod's? Unless you guys are referring those tarts who made WarZ? And just on a side note, if the guys who modded Dayzero had people pay a minimum donation of $5 to get extra slot if server hits 40, i would gladly pay for that.

shitballs, that actually looks good. DayA got a ring to it.

Hannibal Lecter's?

agreed. they should be shot.

That is the word i was looking for. The guys showed respect towards vanilla.

That was what i wanted to get out there. I hope The Division Dayzero will show these other modder's and the Standalone team that greatness can be achieved if you have a passion for it. The guys put real effort into the mod.

also not getting stuck in doors are a winner. The airplane and helicopter crash sites look amazing. They also managed to block of the silly houses that made you brake legs and got zombies hitting you threw the walls, and made others open to explore. I must admit they got much more right then vanila did in its life span and yes they didnt change much, but fixed the irritating shit that made you scream or want to head but someone. We still waiting for 1.7.8 and i dont think it will be as good as Dayzero 1.0

putt well very yoda. I have to agree with you. We havn't seen any game pushing survival to the max, and i think this is what i crave. Myself and some friends use to spend hours running around in dayz just avoiding players and surviving in the wild (love hunting animals and sitting around a fire with friends). That got boring after making our way north and getting one shotted by a zombie and getting infected. I would love to see survival pushed to the max. I am talking about extreme weather, getting warm clothes if it is cold, wearing less clothes when it is hot, actually taking time to make a fire and cook meat. Basically replicating real human behaviour in the wild with nothing on you. I must also admit the zombies just don't do it for me. I prefer playing against humans, and the zombies can just get annoying when you in a battle.

oooh there are actual girls on the forums too..... nice post :)

why would he sue them if the mod gets arma 2 sales? you clearly didnt understand the post or comment i made. i find that reading something twice and thinking before saying something works out well in life.

haha you so funny. think i am starting to like you :) i think dayzero is the most stable and best performance mod out there, and prob the closest to the standalone that we will get. yes the standalone will have loads of new stuff (like taking a shit....whoop) but i do hope they make it hard core to survive.

they cant even fix the zombies at the moment, how can they work on taking a shit. you will prob sit down to take a shit and get smacked by a zombie taking a shit next to you.

yes and i am not comparing the mod against the mod here. i was saying the team behind the standalone got some competition and on release, the standalone will be compared to this. this mod will evolve and once ported to the arma 3 engine, will be epic.

i didnt know this, and if so it makes a massive difference in performance and still looks amazing.
