Whee I just have been at Gamescom playing 1.7.3 at the Arma III stand. It was kinda funny to realize that like 80% of the people who were standing in line wanted to play DayZ only and weren't really interested in Arma 3 and the other game (of which I forgot the name :D). Also there are still artifacts in 1.7.3 (or whatever version we were able to play; I got a dog as follower!) and the playtime was kinda limited :/ However DayZ is great :]
It's so sad to see countless people harshly complaining about the work of others who provide a free game for us. DayZ is great game and to be honest the best gaming experience I've undergone so far. The devs need to work work under extreme pressure seeing the unique player amount raising about 5000 from one day to the next who all want to play the game without any issues. The DayZ devs are not dice or treyarch who even fail to get their games into a perfect state without any bugs no one of us has the right to complain about what they do. They need their time and we have to be pleased with what we get for now or just stop playing and come back in some months.
Hey there :)
About two weeks ago - I don't remember the exact date - some guy in the chat (BullDoggy) said he'd be in control of a helicopter and willing to pick people up and fly them to locations they'd like to visit or just go to. So.. I gave him my location and he picked me up with the helicopter you can see in the video. It definetely was a Mi-8 and I didn't know it existed in DayZ since it's not listed on the offical Dayz Wiki nor have I seen it before. Can anyone explain me where he got that helicopter? I was quite new to the game so I didn't care as much and simply enjoyed my first ride in a helicopter :3
Wow I don't wanna be responsible for this guy getting banned. He seriously seemed pretty nice and I just wanted to ask whether the helicopter is in DayZ or not :s
It definetely wasn two months ago. If you take a look at the debug info you can already see that the temperature was available. That's not too old I think (: And I didn't shoot him because I was fairly new to the game and happy toencounter my first helicopter. This guy also seemed kinda nice so I decided to just enjoy the ride :)
