Andarne (DayZ)

I have to admit.... I stood up from playing DayZ, went and opened my door, saw a figure there and punched it square on the jaw. For a split-second, I honestly thought my fiancée was a zombie, and I forgot that it was just a game. Needless to say, I had to pay her back with some pretty nice chocolates for X-mas.

I agree. Though we've had a little blip so far, what with it taking 18 months to release, I'm quite satisfied at what it is at the moment. I do love watching the videos in the gallery, and...ahem....will admit that I do indulge in a little view-whoring, myself. :rolleyes: The community is what makes a game like this great. Just the fact that we can communicate so freely with the devteam, and they let us know what they think.

Demon....you know I'm going to have to wander the wastelands just to find that.... I thank you in advance for me pushing my guy to starvation in the wilderness.

I'm currently running a two-month-old Radeon HD7850 2GB with a generic Intel 2.4GHz Quad Core CPU. It runs the game fairly well on medium/high, but I lag like mad in cities. Large towns just drop my FPS slightly. I'm upgrading to a new rig, however; new system board, and a hex-core CPU (AMD FX-6300). So hopefully that'll give a nice little boost!

I'm just glad he's not on DayZ's dev team. This community has a fine group of professional, rule-abiding, quite-awesomesauce devs. *Cough* Orlok *cough*

I thought there was talk about a system in place to stop users tampering with graphics to get an unfair advantage?

One thing that annoyed me, to no end, was the system present in Epoch. The vehicles could only be unlocked by their owner. Nobody else. There was no option to try and crack them, or break in. I'm all for security, but not unbeatable security.

Really hope that they make these functional. Use them for transporting large amounts of goods. Downside being the limited movement options, branchlines, etc.

Hey there folks! I'm in the process of editing together a little guide for my friends to explain certain features, and generally help them out. However, I've hit a snag. In previous guides, I have used images to assist the point. However, the only way I can get individual icons for items is if I find them in-game, screenshot them, and then edit them out of the bigger picture using an editor like Photoshop. Sadly, I don't have the time nor the patience to do this for every item in-game. I was wondering if there was a way to edit the .paa files for icons, or if there's a dedicated directory where they're all stored. Any help on this front would be greatly appreciated.

Hey there fellow survivors! I'm here to show you the documentary of my first week in the wasteland of Chernarus. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1_Zen40gkc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RrlU5FnAuY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eHbQT8zYSY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZR3se_m0iGY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xAcl3h-JhI More to come!

Hey everybody. I'm here to advertise a newly-hosted DayZPanthera server, private-hive, which is looking for a player-base to boost overall server activity. 109.123.117.178:3170 or filter "Papaya"! Server Info The server is new as of the 1st of January, 2013. We're running a private hive, allowing us a little more control over what comes into our server, and enforce more rules in order to make the game easier, and a lot more fun for those that decide to join us. We already have a dedicated player-base of 5 people, both bandits and heroes. Of course, this is quite a shockingly-low number, and often renders current gameplay boring and slow, hence this advertisement. Our active admins are constantly checking the logs and database for scripters, and we make sure that all gameplay is fair and fun. We currently run a custom vehicle loadout, over forty current spawns, and a max vehicle count of two hundred. Our staff are always willing to talk and/or help new players.

I suppose I should clear up some things here. The OCB Panthera server is run on Vilayer.com - it uses the Vilayer public hive, not a private one, and is constantly tended to by active admins. The full transcript of events are as follows. Should anybody wish any further information, I'm sure Snipes (the owner of the OCB server) can happily provide logs for the date in question. After setting up a temporary campsite, complete with Ural (Civil), a GAZ and two UAZ, we were ambushed and killed by [NNA] Joppi and [NNA] Abbananna - luckily, Sgt James was in the lobby at the time and survived the onslaught. Upon return, James managed to kill one of the intruders, under the guise of me - I was trolling the two attackers, who believed that I was using both "Admin Powers" and "Hacks" to gain an unfair advantage, because of a much-needed restart (the server, and many other Vilayer servers, was reporting an error regarding server-side application versions). We encountered them again whilst driving to Triglav to rendezvous with HeinZ, our friend, and managed to shoot [NNA] Joppi - however, he ALT-F4'ed like a coward, and began ghosting. Not long after, a GAZ approached with [NNA] Abbananna within - who, upon being shot at, copied his clanmember in ghosting. Needless to say, we were prepared. We set up at the top of the opposite mountain, as an entire team, with views on all the entrances and exits from the valley. Soon after, our opponents logged in again - and woe and behold, they had changed position! [NNA] Joppi managed to sneak behind Jelle, another friend, but was killed by Lemons [OCB] - we never found Abbananna. Of course, tempers raged, and the duo complained that we were using hacks, scripts and all sorts to beat and kill them. This is, and was, of course, their apparent favourite retort - every time they've been killed on the OCB server, they've blamed a hacker, or shouted that somebody is hacking. This video was uploaded, as proof, to show them that we use genuine methods to kill prey, and that they should play the game more fairly, as well as reminding them that whining about something non-existent does nothing. I can only apologize for the lagginess at the end of the video. Things to note: Ural (Civil) was stolen from another player on the server. We are aware that some of the items within are prohibited (G36 ammo) and we do not use them. Soldier clothing, which was acquired from a previous scripter, has been permitted by the Vilayer staff (upon a query by an admin), and the server admins themselves - please take that issue up with them, should you feel the decision to be unfair. Please also remember Rocket's own words, that items may be used. Our team has full gear because we work together on a daily basis, helping each other out. Together with regular banditry, we keep on top of others on our server - we don't promote blind banditry, and will often leave players be if they so wish it. None of the players featured in this video have Admin status on the server. The Admins are: Snipes, Lordtrenchard and Dodgy Embalmer.

Players nico, Mookie & Calibre were shot and killed on this server by a player going by the handle of cindy, at GMT 23:15. No screenshots sadly, as I was AFK - but managed to talk to them via voice-chat.

Would love to get a few official advertisement graphics, and I can stick them up on my website to advertise the final product.

What gets me more than the OP is the fact that every time I click 'Next', I always suspect I'll get to the last page of this thread, yet when I do...there's always one more. One more page of videoless hell....always...

Well, they're working overtime you see. All the Devs are pushing them too hard, and they do try so hard to get a player's attention, even though we don't fear them anymore.

Only on female player-character's, so far. If a person has the ghillie suit on, then it's unobtainable. If you find the actual item in the player's inventory, then you can swap your Civilian clothing for the Ghillie suit.

In what way? On topic, I was taking a closer look at the video - the player was invisible, but I've never heard of these 'scripts' before (well, to be fair, hacks is far beyond anybody playing this game to be fair). I'd have thought Battleye would've been able to quickly resolve something this​ far-fetched.

Supermarkets, though unwisely - once had a fellow and his two buddies login next to me, then promptly remove my head from my shoulders... Anywhere that there's only one entrance, though - that'd be the most defendable. Though, I once took shelter in a church - some idiot blew the walls in.

Agree'd - I found it quite amazing that he couldn't just finish you off like a decent person; that said, you were moving around a lot. Something I can never find myself doing because of fear and paranoia. Overall, a well-done video, Minus, of course, the "you aspie fuck!" comment.

HTML isn't yours... I've yet to update my client to .4 - but with all of these supposed bugs, I'm not too keen...

You've done it now, OP. Sooner or later, we'll get thousands replying to this thread, all mentioning Green Mountain - and we all know what happens to people who mention Green Mount-- oh no...

On the contrary, I've found an incredible use as a Mookie repellent. Toss a few tin-cans at a fellow clan-member, and he's too busy to notice the zombie's sneaking up behind him.

Agree'd, but not on the auto-reload. Players should have to manually remove the stuff from the backpack, or add an option in the 'scroll-menu' that allows the player to manually reload from the pouch, but not need the items in main inventory. I'd also venture that items such as additional compasses, etc, can be placed in there.

"I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. ... I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you." Something like that?
