dayzgame

Thanks, I found the old downloads at 3rd-party sites myself, but I was wondering if the launcher has been abandoned? Maybe there was a conflict with PW6 devs and BI? I think the vanilla launcher was a better way for new players to quickly get started with vanilla DayZ because it was less bloated and complicated than PW6. PW6 has always been a little sluggish, over-complicated and counter-intuitive.

Is this website and launcher permanently down?

Ever hear of DayZ Mod? It's free.

Good storytelling. I'm looking forward to reading the next entry.

With the exception of spawn points and missions, why not let players make the building restrictions dynamically? The entire game is basically about collecting resources. If one player builds on or near resources then they should naturally expect to be frequently attacked and raided for those resources. However, you need to make raids more plausible by removing indestructible cinder. Nothing should be indestructible on a hardcore server. If you want bases to be more durable then simply increase the armor of the walls; don't make them invulnerable. Currently cinder walls are at 3400 armor and wood at 2200. You could double or triple those to achieve the desired balance. In addition, chainsaws, padlocks, and lockboxes should be removed from mission loot. These make it both too easy to store supplies and build in high traffic areas, and too easy to break in to all buildings. These items are intended to be very rare; the chainsaw only has a 1% chance to drop as a farm weapon, combolocks only have a 4% and 5% chance of dropping on worker and police zombies respectively, and lockboxes only have a 4% chance to drop on office zombies. These were made rare for good reason, because it should not be easy to stash supplies and build over or lock up a resource, nor too easy to break in. Are safes only obtained through airdrops? What are the steps and how difficult is an airdrop to achieve?

This server has been almost exactly what I've been searching for; hardcore survival, limited loot and vehicles, many craftable objects, building fortification and custom construction, dark nights, cold weather and very dangerous zombies. The only thing I don't like is that building construction is artificially limited in some towns. Fortifying an existing house is the best way to create a first base. With all the available crafting and construction it has more of a virtual world or MMO feel to it, rather than that of just a shooter. Unfortunately, my ping is a little high but it seems to be playing ok so far.

Thank you! I didn't know this mod existed. I'll definitely be giving it a try.

Interior Designer Add functioning furniture to your base to make it a home. Can you tell me more about this? What are the details? Do you have a video?

The cause of walking slowly was probably due to either being in a crouched position (X key - use C key to stand) or having walk toggled on (2xLeft Shift key). As for weapon sights you need to use the optics key (Right Mouse button) to use sights or scopes. All new players should review the key controls first. To do this in game press ESC go to Options and Controls and review all the keys. Or review the keyboard layout in the manual: http://cdn4.steampowered.com/Manuals/33930/ARMA2OA_manual.pdf

Nah, vanilla is a shooter and Epoch is the same shooter with much more features.

Overall DayZ Epoch is the best right now. It takes the game to the next level with crafting and building construction. http://dayzepoch.com/wiki/index.php?title=Crafting_System
