More trouble on several servers tonight with players being killed by explosions etc, also had some fella describing everyones gear over a mic, he named each player and what they were carrying followed by a vote to kick of the mentioned player (no harm done just annoying) Lets hope a new round of perma bans is on the way!

The spawn rate is fine, i think the problem here lies with players crippling themselves by not searching farther afield, in one thread i actually read a post saying something like "wow there are deerstands...but they are so far away" People need to take more of a risk, on spawning move inland, don't just rush to Cherno or Electro, the rewards are there for the adventurous.

This is awesome, if i'm not playing i'll be watching! Make a million fellas!

Great post! Always fabulous to read something positive and glad your enjoying it, you create the journey and you create the story! Good luck out there.

Go Team Rocket! DayZ is obviously doing something right, the last time i saw such churlish hoohaa was in the old EVE Online forums and WoW beta! DayZ is fabulous, it was fabulous at concept and it's fabulous now, i appreciate very much what Rocket and the gang have created here, every patch and hotfix i look forward to with relish, whether it breaks the game or not, i know i'm an incredibly lucky person to be in at the start, the alpha, part of something that has the potential to be MASSIVE! You and i paid nothing for DayZ, learn to love it! I've had Op Flash/Arma/Arma II/OA since time in memorial and played them to death, i love MMO's (all of 'em) i love shooters and RPG's, but most of all i love zombie games...yes that's right zombie games, for years we'd talk in the pub about how awesome it would be to have a zombie survival horror MMO, we discussed it, we discussed and we discussed it. Then up pops DayZ and nearly all our dreams come true, in one fell swoop Rocket Romero and the gang deliver us a masterpiece, and allow us all to play and test....Wtf is not too like? There is far to much selfishness and entitlement around these days, kick back and just enjoy, report bugs as and where, make blogs about your time in Chernarus and further more spread the word. The apocalypse is upon us!

Get some sleep! :D

@Rhodesia and Azimov Cheers fellas, will await further news from Rocket and the gang :)

Your not alone guys! Twenty minutes ago the server i was on went down, kicking everyone, re-spawned in forest in the middle of no-where, had gear but now hoplessly lost. Bit of a pain in the arse as i spent all day trying to get to a friends position near kozlovka.....:(

Yes! I'm from the UK and the only weapons in my house are a rather blunt butter knife and my tea strainer. Loving the new build! Things just got serious!

I gotta admit i'm in the UK and until i find some NVG's as soon as it get's dark dark, i hop over to an American server that's GMT+ Even with chemlights and flares it's way too dark for such an enormous enviroment, having your view restricted to pretty much absolute zero is a huge gamebreaker, yes it's creepy and scary in games like Silent Hill etc but not here, as i said the enviroment is way way too large. I'm definitely not asking for a speedup, that would be a massive immersion breaker, just lighten up the night a bit, c'mon Rocket you know it make sense! :)

This is true, i lost an M16A2 and an AK 74 doing this....be warned!

Agreed it is too dark! I'm all for realism but the darkness could do with toning up a bit, iv'e just come back from camping on Dartmoor (UK) in the middle of nowhere and in a prehistoric forest, even at the darkest point of the night and remember it's summertime so the night's are lighter, you can pretty much see what's going on around you within 20 to 30ft maybe more. I stood in the middle of a field in DayZ last night and could not see a thing unless i looked up, it was literally pitch black, all it needs is a slight raise in the darkness light levels, nothing major just a tad! Interesting video here,

Your not the only one that has been playing Recon/Arma/Arma II for years or DayZ for weeks! I see it as my duty to confound and demoralise and scare the wits out of bigmouthed elitists and hound them out of the game, hopefully making room for new blood and better less bigoted players that with a little help will eventually "get it" whatever that "it" is. Watch your back bigot!

Fabulous fabulous news! Rocket you deserve the gaming eq of the medal of honour for all your dedication and hard work. Bravo!

I executed a guy today! A guy asking for help and bleeding to death, my prize? A tin of sardines......i am ashamed!

Loving the mod! Just amazing! A few small errors though, apart from re-spawning in a different skin all the time, i have also run out of island to explore? Not long after spawning and leaving a small settlement behind i ran off into the treeline and when i appeared on the other side, the whole island was just open plains! No grass, trees, bushes anything! On the ground in front of me was an obvious cut off point where the i'm guessing the next section of island should have loaded. Am i missing something? (apart from half an island :P) is the play space restricted or is this a known glitch?

That wasn't a twenty gaius, you might wanna wash your hands. But thanks for the heads up none the less! @Orthus Be seeing you!
