Act III

I am not sure if an exact date has been given. But I recall seeing early January. I may be mistaken.

Clearly the bell is an indication of in-game time. Too bad in-game time practically means nothing as of yet. I heard the bell for the first time the other week (I barely go in Chernogorsk), and I thought it was pretty bad ass. Its a shame that the audio clip for it loops poorly.

The first forum meet and greet back in July was great. Hopefully I can make it to this one. I am moving cities around the 18th though, so I'll see what I can do.

Hey fellow forumers, I'd imagine there are at least a few of you who regularily check out DayZ TV, but for the past 3 days I have not been able to access the site. Anybody having the same issue? I'm guessing they're just have server related problems? - III

Once all servers become hives with full persistence, "base building" will become a dream. Whether it is forifying pre-existing buildings, with small additions or straight up building a small cabin in the woods. It would be if all cut down tress would persist. In a sense, giving a limit to how many "bases" can be made on a server. This would also add more of a challenge even just to make the most simple. But of course nobody wants a completely deforested Chernarus, so maybe this portion of the persistence would be reset every month or so.

Ahhh this is awesome dude. I once encountered a very similar situation. I was wealthy in Novomitrovsk, and I heard chatter down in the street. I peeked out the window from the apartment I was in, and saw a player being robbed at gun point by two bandits. I quickly rushed down the stairs, and stealthily crept behind a fence into position. I did not shoot the robbers straight away, I was listening to what they were saying. Right as one of them raised his weapon into sights, I flew around the corner like rambo spraying my Makarov. Saved the innocent, killed the guilty. He thanked me, and I moved on. - III

I found one in Karmanovka last night. Then shortly after the server crashed lolol.

Everything about this post is amazing. I would love to see this/some sort of ladder system come v1.0.

Comic Sans MS is all I can say.

My favourite part of the story. Very touching story. I am glad Blacky believed in you, and knew you would return to the tent.

100% agree. Especially those who are playing on persistence enabled servers, I'm sure many people have tents/tents/tents full of pristine, end-game gear. The loot at the moment is way too messed up, NOT to reset all characters come 0.51

Has anybody been able to find an Amphibia? They seem to be godly rare, or completely removed from the game since 0.48 (?). Been craving the silenced swag. In contrast to the freezing cold temperatures we experienced in 0.49 Stable, the only way to survive this massive heat wave in 0.50 Stable is to dress up in Winter Ops Camouflage. Can't wait to see more white clothing! ps: Backpacks are for scrubs. Fashion Simulator

Damn, I found a magazine for it and was holding onto it for a couple days. But then tossed it when I gave up on finding the pistol.

My take at a "Winter Ops" Camouflage. With the addition of the white balaclava, this has been made possible. Can't wait for more winter/white clothing. Its the only way to survive this heat in 0.50!

I would highly recommend playing again! I have enjoyed every patch and played through all content thoroughly and still enjoy the game. I guess it is mostly because I incorporate my Dungeons and Dragons role-playing skills, so that makes every session fun as hell. Without roleplay, I could see how the game gets stale after a few days of playing. This ^ if you aren't into the role-play-style

I am always down to meet other survivors. The last meet up we had was amazing. I will come as a prepared medic once again incase all hell breaks loose. (Which is inevitable)

I did not realize duct tape was given a purpose in experimental. What other functions does it offer? This. It would be cool if we had a character stat for "Weight" "Speed" (Decimal form?) etc, and depending on which items are equipped, it would affect how slowly or quickly our character moves. And depending on what terrain is currently being stood on, the text would change colours, indicating what type of terrain the character is on. Whether it be, concrete, dirt, grass, rock, etc. I agree that footwear should definitely affect the player.

Any of you experience this? Shot dead by a player, but they were nowhere near you, or not even facing your direction. I was behind a wall peaking through a window (3PP:ON) watching a dude, he fires into a room beside him and I die. I must have been lagged out in that room or something. (Weapon switching?) This has happened to me a few times in 0.49 Stable. Not sure if it is my shitty internet connection, or the patch itself. I am hoping some of you have had this happen, that way I know I do not need a new modem haha. - Act III

Dude this is awesome.

By studying, I mean: Will one need to read through the Wiki page? Or will every mechanic be intuitive? I love the progress that has been made on DayZ so far, and some of the upcoming features (such as gardening) look fantastic! I am just concerned whether or not I will be missing out/unaware of many of the game's features if I were to not play until beta/full release. What do you guys think? I think it would be great if a new player can pick up the game, explore and do shit intuitively.

My scariest/coolest experience in DayZ Standalone goes as follows. *At this time, Cernaya Polana is the newest addition to Chernarus. "I run into the village not knowing what to expect. Foreign land to me, who knows what dangers might lay ahead. Scavenging every open building, trying to find food to last me the night. I find myself in a two story, green house. Not long after, noises from other players are apparent outside the building. They must have been watching me this entire time. I am surrounded, being commanded to exit the building and drop all of my belongings. I decide to wait it out, both parties are playing the waiting game. Now I hear them speaking in a language I do not understand. And I instantly feel uneasy. Heart is racing, palms are sweating, then I stand. Everything is black. I wake up elsewhere, must have been knocked out (killed lol). I find my way back to where the crime was committed. My corpse, just laying there on the ground. Beside it, a lit flare and a note. Written in a language I can not read. To this day, I still do not know what my death bringers wrote down on that piece of paper." During this event, my heart had never raced so fast whilst playing DayZ. Having to think on my toes for survival. I got outplayed, GG Spanish gang who killed me. I respect the efforts and role playing they put into this murder. Role-Play > KoS

TL;DR "I got pwned running south"

Yeah DayZ is such a unique game, and can cause so many emotions. Especially after smoking a fat blunt.

I know this thread is done with. But thanks man! Brought tears to my eyes lol. Hunting and playing as a friendly medic is the ONLY way to play DayZ. Except for the poor girl who I defibrilated, and severely over-dosed her system with all types of medication and drugs. Sorry.

This sounds pretty fun. I'd be down to join you on this survival journey/or try it myself. Although I do also agree with others, that it could get boring after the initial couple days of play. Without having the environment being a threat.
