okami (DayZ)

Indeed the only thing i would like to see changed at the moment is the ability to distinguish players. It would add realism and help those who want to form groups. But I see no need in additionally change spawn rates or zombie difficulty. I see no wrong balance, I still play a semi-friendly character who tries to avoid shootings or at least tries to escape and only shoots if fire is opened. It works well. i get your point but we have to respect those who want to play on "save" servers, but they can do it on their own. And to be honest I would enjoy a server with an organized force fighting bandits, this would still be fun for bandits, too. But with a risk, so bandits can show real skills and not hide in corners or shoot people in the back like i`ve seen so many times. But personally I agree this game would (even with better ai or more zombies) not the fun it is without pvp.

Hi all, I bought a key for dayz via Steam and want to buy a second one to be able to switch between two characters. I saw a tutorial on youtube where you just had to switch a regkey before starting but this was done with a second steam account on the same pc. I will try this if no one has a better idea but afaik this is illegal by steam policies. Anyone has a legal way to do this? Can you just buy a second key and switch it somehow? Thanks okami

Hm okay i had in mind steam had a policy which does not allow two accounts but i cannot find anything like this now. So thanks very much for the instructions!

same for me, they disappeared all like 5 mins ago

Everyone you can take out with a sniper rifle is not a thread but a victim, no matter how well equipped and potentually dangerous he is. If you want to kill that way fine, its part of the game. But dont talk about threats...

So killing zombies with an axe and shooting players in the face with shotguns is okay for younger players but sex system is offensive? Lol But yeah, the idea is pretty useless, i bet most people have bigger problems in a zombie apocalypse than finding a place to jerk off safely.

Bad idea, you will have unplayable high ping when trying this to avoid darkness in your area. But there are always servers with changed time setting like a german GMT-8 server (instead of the GMT+1 we have). So sorting by ping and filtering by time would be great

Believe it or not but this is the fun part of the game (okay, one of them) and it takes time to master this. The game is not convenient, it does not bow down and tries to pamper the player, it is hardcore and the player has to adapt. And this is what makes this game so great. Yesterday i tried to loot someone killed by zombies with a z standing right over him. it took me 10 mins to get there but i was able to open the backpack with the zombie 1 meter in front of me. You will need time, patience and experience. And the game will reward you if you master the highest learning curve i have found in a game since the early 90s.

I have the same issue, try to sort the servers by version (tab on the right) and use a server running a previous version. this is working for me so i think sixupdater has an issue and does not download the correct version. hope this will be fixed tomorrow as most old version servers will be gone soon. and i dont want to mess around with mixing sixupdater and manual update...

a) number 2 b) when is it coming and who wants my money?? must have!

Hi all, I`m playing DayZ for a week now without any problems. Today we tried to play with a second player using the same internet connection at my home. We were kicked by BattleEye all the time because of horrible pings. Connecting alone I have a ping of max 30, most of the time less. With the second player its suddenly up to more than 700. We are both running steam version, up to date version of beta and dayz mod updated by sixupdater. My internet connection is 16 Mbit down and 1 up (iirc) and not a problem if playing alone, even if i have a big steam download running in the background. Any ideas? I cant imagine there is such a increase of used bandwidth with just a second player? Did anyone manage to play with two players from the same subnet? Thanks okami

Hm now I´m really confused, I changed the ports (did it in sixlauncher -> options -> additional startup parameters) but the game just hung at the connection to the server. However by pressing escape and using the ingame server browser i was able to join a server on both machines and ping looked great. But I was not sure if using the ingame browser might override the -port switch so I tried to connect again without the -port on both machines - and its working fine now. Two players on the same server, ping 30 without any changes. Maybe it was some heavy load on the servers on sunday, i will play around with the settings again tomorrow. But thanks so far for your help!
