omgwtfbbq (DayZ)

that's nothing, i've been alive for three weeks and the only vehicle i've ever seen was a hacked suv.

if you want to play dayz, but are unsure about the $30 entry fee, how does $20 sound? dayz does, in fact, works if you get only arma 2 free and arma 2: operation arrowhead. this makes the game price $20. however, i recommend this for if you ONLY want to play dayz. i did this, because i just wanted to play just dayz. however, i tried arma 2, and it is a very good game. i want to buy the full, but i don't know about spending 20 more dollars on something i can pirate. (fact: you can't pirate arma 2 oa for dayz. it doesn't work. yes, i've tried) so how can one get this wonderful discount? see the link below for a tutorial that helped me get it going. i didn't make the linked post. http://forums.steamp...d.php?t=2717901 you're welcome! PS: if anything else goes wrong, then try a fun thing called GOOGLE PPS: the arma 2 oa demo does not work. i tried that, too. you have to buy oa)

i plan to go there soon, does anybody know if it's usually populated? maybe not like the NWBF or cherno/elektro, but does it usually have one or two people? (NWBF = north west battle field) EDIT: I have not gone there yet. i plan to go right now. i will fraps it, and it will look like shit, and you will all watch me DIE. (i will not disclose what server i will be playing on.) EDIT2: i can't go now, because i am getting the stuck on loading screen error on 1.7.2.4. as soon as it is fixed, i will head in. EDIT3: I SURVIVED http://dayzmod.com/f...alone-at-night/ (how many views does this thread have??? OVER 9000!!!)

blugh, uggs are UGGly! *slaps knee* but yeah they are hideous

yeah, i know, weird. i've been to maybe forty or fifty spawns across hundreds of servers, and still nothing. so technically, i've never seen a legitimate car in dayz in over three weeks of survival. not even a bike.

if anybody sees a car, they're going to kill the driver for it, sadly.

when i heard about all this hacking nonsense, i played little dayz; i would quit after maybe ten or fifteen minutes. i am too paranoid to lose all of my stuff.

M4A1 and six clips

yes, we all clearly saw it once it stopped. it was a black suv like the ones in the beginning of OA campaign. hacked. not legit.

i've been to cherno, but never churno. how is it?

seems like more people are coming in, but are completely unaware of this.

sorry, i was in the understanding that more people knew about this. i learned otherwise today.

nope. the only difference is that you don't get the full arma 2. all character models are the same quality. if you buy the PMC dlc, then they are high-res characters.

http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/57391-so-you-want-dayz-but-its-30/ maybe that'll change your mind

HA i spent only 20

in a nutshell, yes. it is worth it. there may be bugs and hackers now, probably at its peak, but it will be fixed. i would hold off on buying it, unless you REALLY want to play, because hackers are rampant.

i think the hero skin should be awarded if: A. you haven't killed anybody at all B. you kill bandits or C. you have gone a long time without killing if c applied then i'm good.

um...yes they do. whether they want to or not. if you are being chased by more than one and try to backpedal shoot, then you're going to get hit. no matter what.

i was wondering the same thing

first life was k. lasted maybe a few hours. ended up dying of starvation while bleeding to death because there was no food anywhere

When playing at night: Do flashlights affect zombies? by this i mean, if you shine a flashlight right at a zombie, will they aggro? what if you're standing in front of a zombie, with it facing you, and you turn your light on? then what? i would test it myself, but i'm afraid of what will happen. if they aren't affected, then the only downside to a flashlight is that other players can see you.

aaaand here comes the moderator to move this to dayz gallery

i think that bikes should never be a rarity in zombies movies/games/stories. because if you go to a town IRL, you'll find several. so, why not have them in cherno/elektro? maybe one or two out in the inland cities, but have most on the coast? a grand total of five is a little ridiculous for a 15x15km section of civilization. i personally think that there should be 10-15, because that way they aren't rare, but they aren't so common that everyone has one. i don't like the idea of a bunch, because then everyone's on one. it's cool, because of the visibility downside, but having so many makes it not as amusing to own them, because everyone has one. but! bikes are fun anyway. BONUS: i also think an interesting idea to add in dayz would be a locking system. as a counter to this, they could implement a lockpick. people could also lock cars and bikes. Not buildings. too many people would lock up the good loot spawns and farm it. but it would add a little more realism to the game. So why did i throw in that bonus? because if you go into town IRL, it's likely that 95% of the bikes are on bike locks. so if a locking system was in dayz, then you could stop your car from being jacked (if the thief doesn't shoot out the window/reach through the window because you didn't put windscreen glass on it. also, car alarms would be interesting, too.) also, if you lock up your bike, it would be server-bound and only someone with a lockpick could open the lock and take it. this would make vehicles last longer than they do, because someone usually ends up taking your car after a few minutes, anyway. enough rambling. should bikes be more common in dayz? vote!

which is why i would want there to be more than five, but not a million.

they do?
