A montage of clips from OMG's first footsteps in DayZ featuring Zombie Dominos, Boat Bashing and Dashing Rescues! OMG is a casual group of like minded players, come and check out our forums if you're looking for mature players from the UK and Europe. OMGeurope.net/forum

Part Three finds the OMG crew protecting their precious Skoda from some naughty bandits packing heat not available in-game.

Part two features mystery shoppers, friendly german truck drivers and an accidental road kill

I'd just like to mention that I've been a console gamer for over 25 years and I couldn't give two beans for achievements, killing on sight or whinging like a care bear.

check the first post in the 1.7.2.4 thread in the announcement forum. Helis have had the radar feature removed and are being added back into the game! WHOOP!

cup of tea and a ciggie behind the ear, I just need to find a bush to hide behind before I can take a break.. PG tips all the way Actually, I'd like ciggies to be added to the game, make them like MGS where you get slightly increased stability during aiming/holding breath but as a trade off you get the shakes much quicker (especially if you haven't smoked one for a while)

provide some numbers, you're being far too genral to be throwing this kind of accusation around

no you shouldn't be able to join any old server you like, high pings don't just affect you but everyone else playing, show some consideration. you rate 150 as a decent ping? I regulary play on servers where I have between 16 and 30, i'll occasionally go higher but never more than 100.

ahem... http://answers.yahoo...01100003AAH2Ouo not so WTF now B)

how high is your Ping? Are you playing on local servers or ones in different countries to your own?

I think you have that a bit wrong. Profit only comes from meeting gamer requirements, it's just that the million "casual" (hate that word) gamers have different needs to the few thousand strong niche crowd, it's the same in every other industry..... It's why new cars come with parking sensors and airbags and not nitros buttons and racing tyres. Were TVs "dumbed down" when they invented the remote control? Don't you know hardcore TV users only use the buttons on the set itself!!!

boot Arma OA, go to the expansions option from the main menu and un-tick the check box where it lists DayZ, reboot Arma.

The updates to Arma II ARE for DayZ!!

Depends on if you want to experience anything other than drawn-out deathmatch. I've been involved in many situations I would never have experienced if I had just shot the target as soon as I saw it. KoS players experience the same thing over and over and it's not even the best kind of PvP, there are many other games that give you more bang per buck-(shot) out there. Yes with a more passive playstyle you will die plenty of times for needless reasons (welcome to the other side of KoS!) but for every 9 deaths you'll come across 1 amazing interaction that couldn't have been possible in any other game and those are the moments I play for. It's worth noting that I don't mind dying. When I go down it sucks and I rage but then 5 minutes later I'm back on the beach starting a new story and to be honest, the first 2 hours of a new life are always the most exciting.

what servers are you guys playing on? I've had DayZ for 8 weeks and I have never been the victim of a hacker attack (touch wood!) is it really just the Americans that cannot play nicely/are the targets for such attacks? Or am I just extremely lucky? (I play mostly on UK servers)

there are quite a few countries (Germany springs to mind) that would instantly ban DayZ if it included Cannibalism so you have to weigh up the two sides. Is the feature good enough to warrant cutting a lot of players off from the game itself? I don't think so.

If you have three characters doesn't that take away the fear of dying when you have two sleeping bodies in reserve? It know it doesn't affect me as you can only play one person at a time but are you not just diluting the experience for yourself? With my group we meet up on certain evenings, we will post in our forum a meeting spot and when I'm lone wolfing it through the week I'll keep that meeting spot in mind and make sure I log off near it ready for group play later.

The first time I shot a bandit... :P

Hey, I play under the name of Andy, I've been slaying zombies for just over 8 weeks (since late May). In that time I've gone from being a lone wolf to slowly convincing friends they need to play this game, now we're a clan of 8 players. In all my playtime I've never shot at anyone that didn't fire on me first and so far I have gained 2 bandit kills and not a single murder. Even though some of my buddies don't play as nice or however many times I am killed for no reason other than just "being there" I will never succumb to the dark side, I will keep my humanity at all costs!

Silly, clips hold your hair back, magazines are for reading on the loo, its "bullet holders" that click in my boom stick.

lol at bullet holders, this adds a whole new dimension to the mag/clip debate... you get beans for that!

it will never happen because of one simple fact. Everything from spawning items, clearing dropped loot, removing dead bodies, hunger/thirst and the time of day are all linked to the same cycle, speeding it up or stopping it entirely (infinite day) would impact on pretty much every other system in the mod.

a knee-jerk reaction to a change before it's even changed? /le sigh For all of those worried about "spawning with your buddies" there will be features that enchance that style of play but just not right now, bitching about something that's coming anyway is pointless.....

my friend was getting orange markers on his GPS, we had no idea what that meant. Sometimes it felt like it was one of our group but the icon wouldn't always be in the right place... Edit: just seen the post above

There is a warning system built in, you press it once and you learn your lesson. Press it again and it's your own fault. Yes it's close to the disconnect button but you'd only jab at it by accident if you're in a really big hurry or as it's more commonly known as "disconnecting from a firefight like a big ol' pussy" If anything all it needs is renaming to the "I tripped over my own shoe laces and smashed my face on the kerb" button...
