I had flashbacks of my mom yelling at me to pick up my room when I saw that.

I cant wait until you can go on base raids and/or have big battles with people trying to raid your base.

Ive played the mod a little bit recently and it is a lot of fun and offers a lot of stuff the SA doesnt yet. It doesnt look as nice and has its own problems, but Ive still enjoyed it. The first time I tried it was on a server called DayZ Hell and it was pitch black at night and there must have been a hundred zombies around the area I spawned in. I didnt last long, but being attacked in the dark, only seeing the zombies faces every time I fired a round and the muzzle flash lit them up, was def freaky and brought back some of the fear that the SA no longer offers. That and seeing a team of guys swoop in in a helicopter and start kicking ass was pretty cool.

Well now the people in my office are wondering why Im sitting here laughing at my screen. Great video.

Stick with a handgun and people won't know you have a gun unless you bring it out.

I dont mind it in ARMA 3, but Ive always liked that they dont do it in DayZ...Even though Im not a huge RP guy, I feel like it adds a little to the immersion.

The new zombie spawning setup has actually made the game more enjoyable for me...maybe were just looking for different things from a zombie type survival game, I guess.

I like the crazy moments where two groups run into one another, everyone's armed, but neither are KOS'ers. The tension and yelling where everyone's trying to let each other know "We are armed, but we dont plan on trying to shoot you" is awesome. Had that happen while playing with a couple new friends the other night when we were running through the woods... it was fun and everyone lived. My general ROE are pretty simple: If your gun starts to point in my direction, you had better kill me quickly because Ill be firing right back. If you appear unarmed, hurt, sick, etc, keep your distance and Ill help if I can.

Not very exciting, but Id go with the magnum. Im not even wearing a cowboy hat, but Ive gotten mighty good with it.

The only hacking ive encountered in game was done via axes and now gardening equipment of sorts.

People are going to shoot/kill you for reasons that may often seem beyond logical comprehension and until you really know your way around youll often feel like there's no loot... Welcome, don't get frustrated.

Another vote for DayZ commander. I could never get the mod to run through steam alone, but after donwloading commander, it works perfectly.

I watched the whole thing and enjoyed it. Look forward to more from you guys...

Not sure if youre going to ever bother coming back to the forum now that youve ranted, but what are your specs? I wouldnt call my pc top of the line, but I get way more than that with most settings on high. To say you have a really good computer and then complain about 20fps doesnt make sense.

Always aim for the dickhole.

Unless doing it for other people youre playing with or found the case full from someone else, why carry so many rounds for a weapon you dont have?

You kept going back to a spot you knew was being camped by capable snipers? Da fuk? If this were real, id say try checking out the other many square kilometers of map.

Im pretty wrapped up in Altis Life/ARMA 3 now. Finding another game you like def helps cleanse the KOS palate.

To even further summarize, you are effectively going to:

I played the mod for the first time the other day, and while it did look much less polished and older, which makes sense since it is, I did enjoy it a lot. The vehicles and weapons were new to me and instead of sitting there nitpicking what I liked or disliked when compared to the standalone, I just treated it like a different, albeit similar, game. I will have to agree that its largely pvp as far as my experience so far goes, but then again, so is a lot of the standalone.

Ive played going on 200 hours in the SA, but it was my first steam game, so I never played any of the DayZ mods. I bought the humble bundle with the ARMA 2/DayZ mod combo, but could never get the mod to work through steam. Last night I finally tried with DayZ Commander and it worked! I hopped onto a server called DayZ Hell or something like that and spawned near this giant walled in military type complex. Zombies were everywhere, there was literally no direction I could go in that didnt have multiple zombies walking or crawling(DaFuk??!!?) about. It was dark and I had no idea where I was, but I did spawn with a pistol, so I headed out, creeping like I was a child tiptoeing through my parents house on Christmas Eve trying to get a sneak peek at Santa/presents. I made it well into the military complex without being seen, but suddenly from the distance I see someone sprinting. I think its another player, so I take aim and just wait to see what they do. His pattern is erratic, but a nonstop sprint as he closes in. When hes maybe only a few meters away, I realize its a zombie and they can run. ::Heart races, bladder struggles to maintain control:: I start firing, but then remember you need to head shot these bastards...sadly, Ive now rang the dinner bell and there must have been 20 or more zeds heading my way. I start running, but Ive got no exit and decide Its time for a last stand. I managed to get a few, only seeing their monstrous faces as each bullet fired lights them up, but alas I ran out of ammo and went down. While the SA is way more polished looking, the mod sure did give me a fun fright. I look forward to exploring it more.

The thing that sticks with me most was the way the muzzle flash lit up the zombies faces as they attacked me. I havent gotten anything quite like that in the SA although Ive never been in quite the same situation either.

Ive been randomly disconnected a couple times since this patch...so I dont have control where I am when it happens and if my character is sitting there for 30 seconds, who knows what could happen.

Yea, I played on a server last night that said "I shat my pants"

Haha, yea I figure itll wear off like the initial scare of the standalone, but it is refreshing to have that feeling again. I def look forward to it. The SA has a great start and even greater potential, so I cant wait to see what it becomes once theres more of a variety of things to do basically and such.
