SHould have taken his info. Hackers needs to be banned! <_<

People?! Sheeple....

I never needed to join the SA or MOD forums. Always used our clan/community forum. I'm not sure you know how to read. You claim "I'm not making claims that people should play a certain way that would be you." in your reply. My post stated "But seriously, there's no "good" or "bad" way to play. (except if you cheat/hack)" So I'm confused. I accepted KoS a long time ago way before the stand alone. I'm saying that there's no right way to play DayZ, but there is a global goal. And fundamentally, it's a video game mate: If you don't play to have fun, you're wrong. The sole creation of video games, music, movies, books (fictional) is to entertain. We see them as work of arts because of the creation process behind them and the feelings expressed in them. But the purpose is still to have fun. I said it, and will say it again. To each his own. There's not enough respect anymore.

I've been playing the DayZ mod since it came out, and been around the DayZ community since the beginning. Ask Dean. The goal of DayZ is to survive in a zombie apocalypse, where other survivors are somewhat sentient (not all of them) and can choose to kill you for your supplies, help you if needed, or ignore you. When Dean first created the mod, it was with the intention of making it somewhat close to a survival simulator, where you need to think about your thirst, what water source do you drink, food supplies offered to you and basic survival skills. With all the attention for the zombie genre, he decided to add zombies as a background scenario for the survival aspect. It didn't really change from that. DayZ is about death. The inevitable. How long and how you'll survive from the time you spawn, till you die, is up to you. Respect, mister Weedz.

:D You have a vision of what the game is. Other have different opinions on that subject. The only one who can really say what the game is all about is it's creator, Dean Hall, and the company behind it. Even so, you can feel free to play it the way you want. But seriously, there's no "good" or "bad" way to play. (except if you cheat/hack) You'll get to a point in life, maybe, where you'll try to respect others and their way of seeing things, even though you don't see things the same way. On a side note, it may not be "wrong" to play DayZ with the only intention of finding other players, make it Bambie/fresh spawns or unarmed players and shoot them, but seriously, with all the possibilities found in this alpha, it's pretty narrow minded. There are hundreds of games out there that does that, and better.

This sums it up good. If you think DayZ is only a PVP shoot everything/everyone game, then you missed the point.

Only a small update. About 250megs.

We'll probably see this in the future since clothes get wet already. You get damp, wet and soaking wet status on items when you go into water. (see the soaking wet holster, crawled into some water)

Joined the server for a bit yesterday and had an interesting encounter, or two. I logged in and was around Refy, so I decided to check it out. I had previously painted my mosin by mistake and ditched it since now it was glitched. Searched the ship with my magnum in hand just in case, and while I was heading for the rear part, saw these two chaps in the distance running along the coast heading north towards the shipwreck. Decided to go and great them. This shirtless and pants less man told me he was a shirt seller and asked me if I needed any. As a salesman, he roam around selling shirts to people. I politely declined since I had enough clothes on me and didn't need any more. He then proceeded to drop his axe to show he was no threat. I told him I wasn't hostile and that it wasn't needed. He could come and meet me on top deck and I could provide with food and supplies if needed, but warned him it was dangerous to walk around the ship. (I never run on that ship and double tap shift so I walk) He climbed the stairs and then told me he was used to ledges and wasn't afraid to fall. Next thing I knew he was screaming and flying to a certain death... :rolleyes: It was too late for this poor fellow, and I couldn't even get a hold of his name. If you read this t-shirt salesman, please make yourself known! I went around trying to find the other survivor he was with. Shortly after, I found him and told him about the misadventure of his friend. He told me they had just met and since they were heading in the same direction they decided to tag along. Greetings mister Chris G.! We had just met, then... Laughed for a bit and logged back in. We met again and talked for a few moments then went on to search the ship. I found a replacement for my mosin, and offered my magnum to Chris since he didn't have any guns. We then parted ways as I was going back to Berezino, and he was heading north. Was nice meeting you Chris! Now I'm back in Berezino! Hope I can catch up with the sheriff and his deputies! Take care guys! Thanks for the server!

I found this ammo on the wrecked ship at Refy. Dunno if it counts as a military spawn.

Adding screenshots to confirm both improvised backpack and SKS. First time I saw one (the backpack) was on this survivor on January 23rd. Made my first one on the 25th. Rope and burlap sac needed for the courier bag, then you add sticks to make the improvised backpack. Found an SKS earlier today.

Then again, it's useless because you can't load 5 rounds anymore after painting it. Only able to chamber one round. 2 bugs for the price of 1 spray paint can! :D

Great story! Thanks for sharing it! Really enjoyed reading it mate!

Hmm. This was already in the game. Improvised backpack used rope, sticks and a burlap sac while the courier bag only used rope and the burlap sack. Anyway, thanks for the experimental servers! Devs are doing a great job! Keep it up guys!!

No. Please. No. :(

There's only those two towers with sand bags that spawns attachments there now.

Been there multiple times. Love this place. But honestly it's cursed... :D About a week ago, I was going up the stairs to get inside the back section and upon arriving to the top (where there's no more railing) and my character made a 90° turn towards the empty space in front of him and decided to walk to his death... I wasn't even pressing "w". :P Still went there multiple times after that without incidents. But, today, and hour ago, I was checking a part I didn't go before with all the cabins with bunk beds are, when the server restarted. Upon entering the server again this is where I ended up. (playing on a hardcore light RP server) No matter. Since the server restarted, I decided to go back in again and finish checking the new area I had found. Checking the cabins again. While looking through the window and zooming in, the frame suddenly disappeared and next thing I know I'm standing over nothing outside of the ship. Fell, broke my legs (probably both lol) but somehow survived. Now I crawled back to Berezino while asking for some assistance every once in a while in voip. No one answered. No morphine found yet. We'll see if the Sheriff will be able to help.

Oh man I should try to play more often. Wish I could've been there!

You can spraypaint it, it might just appear in a radius of 5 meters around you. I always seem to find my freshly painted gun in the street next to where I painted it. Before painting it. (inside piano building) After applying paint. (outside of said building...)

Thanks for sharing! This series is hilarious!

Regular server character. Hardcore server character. Gotta love that improvised backpack!

It's sad that he killed your friend. You had healed the guy and that's how he repays you. You could've killed him multiple times. Good job, but sad story. Moonlight sonata fits perfectly. Thanks for sharing mate.

Peace and quiet by the stream. Devil's Castle Enjoying the view. Devil's Castle on the hill. Svetloyarsk Before. And after...

Seriously? So they're not walking dead, undead or anything close to the "conventional" zombies right? Well, get attacked and have a chance to get infected, then turn into a zombie. There's no cure right? If there's no way for "new" zombies to come up (instead of just the server restart or a respawn timer) then it's not an infection anymore. Anyway, makes it way more interesting to have OP's feature in game. (if not possible for technical reasons, that's sad but understandable)

That's something I always wanted. It's been like that in The Dead Linger for a while. When you get scratched or bit by a zombie, you have the chance to get infected. Once infected, there's no cure and eventually, you die and come back as a zombie. (AI controlled) It's a very nice feature and is not often seen, while it's always been in the lore of the zombie genre. In multiplayer, it's up to you to tell you survivor friends or not...
