Yep, 'til tomorrow at about 5 o'clock we have to suffer the stable experience :/ .. But at least there's extremely exciting stuff coming , vehicle persistence, better battleeye , anti cheat, new island with a prison on it ... Experimental is gonna be the shit once again .

Hoe-lee.... Shit ... Vehicle persistence , new anti cheat / anti hack, new BE , admin logs , AND new island with a prison on it ?! I'm in fucking dayz heaven :).. Can't wait to play experimental these next few days , here's to hoping it's up by tonight , and here's to calling out from work over the next few days when it does :) !

I only KOS hopeless , classless KOSers ;) ... You can smell their kind for miles :) .

That old arguement ^^ .. No, it's not better that way.. Game development can't be understood with metaphors (only with logic and math) or compared to other things like priorities in auto body work or anything really for that matter, as game developement is a culmination of many different systems and is sensitive to new content being coded in . If you create one system in full , it's only going to break when you add another parallel system , therefore, to avoid this , it requires many different people with seperate skill sets to be working on something all at once so that they work smoothly together (and push out new content at a reasonable rate) . Otherwise , if the developers said " ok let's just finish up zombies for good" then what we would get is 3 months straight with no patches but zombie content and for those 3 months no one would be able to work on anything because not everyone hired to develop dayz deals with coding , ai , or zombies at all so everyone thinks this "fluff" (art content and new items) is ruining the game development process , but really it has no strain on development process and it's the only sensible way to Develop a video game especially one with an open public alpha. Tl;dr: not everybody in the dev team works on coding , zombies , or ai, so to assume that adding new items and art content is hindering the development process of the overall features , is wrong .

Depends on what i5, my computer is a desktop I5 -3570k and she operates better than a lot of i7s , but the mobile processors are generally very weak, the 3000 graphics will be just good enough , and your ram is plenty, the only problem is running boot camp takes up a lot of resources it seems .. So id say you're at least gonna hit 15 fps , not so sure if it would run any better than 20 though on very low graphics if that unfortunately (but that's still playable) . As my friend has the same situation by running boot camp on almost identical setup , it should at least run enough for you to play .. Maybe lots of crashes though , audio from the v3s crashes my friend unless he turns his volume down (very strange) . Id say give dayz a buy , and take the risk :) !

No idea to be honest, I saw it through the brush and charged it's ass (it was about 8 feet away) , but it died by cliff , so I ultimately only hit it twice and never had to catch up with it, as it jumped over the cliff/ large hill pretty quickly after I hit it the first time in the bush .

That's pretty freaking cool if this isn't photoshopped ... I would love to have the ability to bury things , even if it went to an imaginary instanced world until you happened to dig in the right spot (because the terrain can't be dug into by players because technically there's morning underneath) ... Imagine finding a buried Aug or ammo box lol :) .

Man up you guys , if you don't like this broken potential less mod you can always come play standalone ;) but don't come if you're one of those carebears that complain about bugs in an alpha :) ... Dayz mod is dead !!!

Don't worry man, your server silence will begin again when all of the people get disinterested in the ridiculous KOS fest that is the dayz mod ( I mean they are most likely just annoyed by some bugs in standalone which is why they take temporary breaks, which is good in the long run) ... I feel so ridiculously disinterested whenever I load up dayz mod, it's so plain and boring in terms of immersion and actually being a survival game ... Ugh you could not pay me to stop playing standalone to play this mess of pvp again , in my opinion in about 6 months the dayz mod will be close to abandoned , seeing how much potential the standalone has and how the dayz mod is only hanging on by a thread of nostalgia (let's face it , all the GOOD dayz mods are DEAD , how could anyone whos interested in playing a survival game have ANY FUN in a mod like over watch or overpoch , it's unrealistic , not immersive one bit and the only thing It has is many vehicles and base building). To each his own though , but for me , dayz mod is in the past , the future is with dayz standalone and it's great to see people still living in the past but most of us need something new to breathe life into this genre (seeing as dayz mod made it , but definitely didn't perfect it , dayz sa truly feels like a survival game , the mod does NOT) and dayz standalone does just that , sometimes standalone is ust so frustrating (seeing as it's in Alpha) that many of us desperately flock to what once made us happy... But after a good three hours of playing a still buggy , very underdeveloped (in terms of survival , immersion and potential) dayz mod , most of us realize that the mod is in the past for a reason , and that our expectations have been raised by standalone so for a huge majority of us we can't stay on dayz mod for long as the negatives out weigh the nostalgic positives .

Well through Dayz's timeline there have been many loot items that were "added" to the tables , but didn't spawn for another week to a month after they were added .. Example : Noones found a chainsaw since the first day of experimental, same with the pistol silencers , the torch and torch craftin never seemed to be properly configured as I've seen no one with one or talking about one .. Prison stuff I'm pretty sure is in but is super rare ? But the meat cleaver is just like the chainsaw , Noones been finding them after the first few days that .52 was released to experimental , but I'm sure well see all these items spawning properly ( or just more often) very soon with the next patch or so.

Well it's depressing that experimental is down today again , but I had a great time last night on experimental (I think us central or something , it had about 7-8 people on it). So I'm a fresh spawn and after about an hour I find just enough loot to keep me from starving , only thing is I've eaten over 2 cans of tactical bacon and at least a half a dozen fruits ... But instead of satiating my hunger it only gives me a daunting "stuffed" status along with extremely hungry, anyways I'm almost about to die of starvation when I spot a sweet deer .. I carefully stealth towards my future meal and end up some how machete-ing it , it ends up running a Couple dozen yards. I repeat the process and finally get a dead deer (after it ran off a damn cliff lol) , but as I'm about to skin her, the option to skin disappeared , and the only two options left were "hide body" and "contents" so I was pretty bummed lol .. So I decide to run to the castle (rog I think) where I would then promptly commit suicide with my faithful machete ... Something was ... Different about this place , I walk into the main tower and see over 4 canned goods and soda littered all the way to the too . It was my lucky day , so it powered me up enough to head to a town very close to gorka (forget which one) but there I find a TON of food and plenty of ammo , so I now have a fully loaded moisin and cr75.. Headed to gorka now and I see the police station closed (all doors) . Being of a Kush - like paranoia , I instantly detect mischief , and decide to run Inisde the side door like a mad man (opposing my logic of sensing danger lol) where I am met with two fully geared dudes , and one of them shoots me out of fear which then causes me to scream Jesus Christ ! In an Aussie accent , somehow I manage to escape (I have a feeling they were just friendlys startled by my abrupt entrance) and decide to head out to stary sobor where I still live peacefully to this day .. Remember me forever guys , oh and I forgive you shooter . TL;DR : please come back experimental !!!

Well today my character seemed glitched, I was on a rainy server so all my clothes got wet , I subsequently found another nice set of clothes , but kept my wet clothes in my pack for a friend.. I end up logging off and coming back later after I woke up from a sweet ass nap ... My character was now getting "cold" as it was apparently really cold so I ditched the wet clothes inside my pack and my character was somehow still wet (despite all my clothes being dry) , I decided to use my two heat packs (I was energized and hydrated but couldn't get it bright green as my character would keep getting dangerously "stuffed" if I ate or drank) . After a while the heat packs , which were placed in my pants and my jacket, were ruined but they didn't even heat me up ... So my conclusion is that somehow some characters get bugged now and again by the cold or rain maybe , and nothing but extreme fire making allows it to warm you up (my character is still cold as I have yet to find matches , I'm also on a private hive so I can't hop to a sunny server ). So it may not be a glitch with heat packs but raining and characters becoming glitched by rain or wetness itself ! :0

Well aside from all this hack speak , I really hope a new status report and experimental come out today... Here's to hoping ladies and gents !!

I'm guessing we will get a new experimental update either today or next Wednesday , today seems unlikely because of the hardware failure but who knows maybe they are on top of it and the reason it might have to take til tomorrow is there is a nice new patch attached ? We can only hope , as it's the 21st and no patch to stable yet so technically we should get it soon :) .. But let's not get our hopes up and kumbayah til it's solved .

Ahh damn , well standalone already looks nice so it's alright , thanks smasht for the quick response :) .

Woot woot ! That's a beautiful screen shot ,.. It's either taken on a super computer or daddy's seeing a little bit Of new light particles or something ? Tech Geeks please discuss as daddy is just full of guesses .

It's all good man , you asked like people should ask , no ragin whatsoever and I like that :) .. But ya it's rough that experimental is down , I think I might have to switch to stable because I'm really itchin to play and can't wait til tomorrow ...

Eugen tweeted a day or so ago that the servers were having trouble staying up , and that they would do their best to keep them up over the weekeend , so I'm guessing we won't have working experimental servers til at least tomorrow when they return to work :/ but it's ok it's just experimental , it's always pretty buggy.

This excites me :) .. I want to see them choppaz!

I used to think just like you OP , getting very frustrated every time someone would slay me in silence when I literally had nothing , or when someone would fake friendly and murder me as I dropped food for them ... I've learned my lessons and I now live with the experience from them . Keep up that friendly attitude because eventually you will have many good experiences as you will control situations easier , but remember every death is an opportunity to learn and better yourself. If you died by a silent killer , one that you never saw or even heard, then your lesson would be to pay more attention (because you can always do better no matter how good you are at sneaking or observing) . If you were killed by a friendly faker , then your lesson is to never turn your back on someone you don't know unless you know them from real life , and to never trust anyone unless they've killed for you already .. And lastly if you've been taken captive and murdered slowly , you know next time to either try and play their game so you cAn Leave with just a couple broken legs ,or on the other hand you could learn how not to give the torturers satisfaction by running away in the first place either forcing them to shoot you dead so you can get a quick respawn , or by actually getting away . As said by others above me , there are so many people in the world that do bad to others for their own amusement , but the only way to fight these types in such an open environment is to always change and improve the way you play because the bandit KOSers have the edge in not having to listen to morales, yet we heroes have the better edge , which is the inner strength to avoid cowardly actions like murdering someone for beans , ammo, or fun which ultimately makes you better because you practice not only long range shooting, but close combat / communication skills (because you're not just shooting people in the back from afar all the time , so you get more general experience instead of just experience in sneaking and killing )!

Hype-brothers , let us all rejoice and remember these dayz as the happy dayz , may we all live in peace , and or pieces , whichever cometh first , Amen .

So do you guys think we will still see an update today ? I think I have the day off from work (let's hope) so If there was an update today that would just , oh *shrills* , that would just be the tits .

I thought it was five spawns when it was on experimental branch , and I could have sworn when they pushed to stable they said there was 7 spawns ... So if I am right about that then it's 7 spawns across 70 possible locations as opposed to 5 spawning across 18 different locations ... But maybe it still is five , and now across 70 (as that's what dayztv seems to think on the v3s map, but I swear I saw the up to 7 in the .52 stable patch notes). Regardless , best places to find them are in the west , but best places in the east to find them (which won't be as often as they spawn in the west for some reason) in my opinion are svetlojarsk, krasnostov and staroye ! I've found a v3s at each of these spots at least once in the past 2 weeks . I Honestly can't wait til vehicles persist , that was my favorite feeling in the mod , Having to upkeep a vehicle and basically live out of it because it persisted on server reset :) .

This actually happens to me a lot , and once even happened while I had all the doors locked to the 5 story office building . I had just locked the doors (including the roof door) and then put my back to the corner with the roof door to point my gun at the ladder .. I was expecting someone to eventually come up the ladder , but as I was waiting for a friend to arrive I hear footsteps and before I can turn around I hear an axe hit a door (must have been the one behind me I locked) and then another axe sound and the "you are dead" . so it's definitely possible someone logged in behind the OP and axed him , and the guy complaining of a "hacker" with broken legs could have just been a coincidence being attacked by someone else .. But then again it doesn't matter we all know the hackers exist but I know for sure they aren't as big as some people say (8 times a week come on man you must be playing on the hackers home server ! ) but good story Mang I love hearing about peoples adventures, especially if they aren't KOSers , keep it up !

Wow that was just the tits , keep up the good work and the good aim mate !
