I'm curious on how the AI and the pathing for the zombies has changed. Do they megarush you in a zigzag motion just as they do in the mod? Can they hit you 10 feet away and walk through walls still? Honestly i'm not that all concerned with graphics, but more of gameplay. I usually never browse the forums, but i'm just voicing my concern for the gameplay portion of the standalone, and not the graphics or customization. I'm most likely beating a dead horse, and they have already been on top of gameplay issues since the very beginning. I just look forward to a REAL DayZ experience without zigzagging invincible megreach zombies, and hackers spawning everyone in a truck, then opening fire. Can't wait!

*giggles* Oh, how quaint!

Pics or gtfo.

I must have been pretty lucky so far. Been to elektro multiple times with only a 1 time conflict (completely one sided, he had the store baited + barbed wire to cut off exit), and 0 conflicts the many times ive been to Stary Sober. IMO it's all about timing, and watching your surroundings. However, I can't deny the occasional sniper :\

I was a 'no shoot on sight, but if in the area ur a threat' kinda guy, but after recent events and careful consideration, I just outright kill people unless both hands are empty.

Only way I know of 'creating' your own game is hosting a DayZ server. Good luck with that.

I'll be a true bandit when I face a true victim. By that I mean someone that wont disconnect (and possibly reconnect elsewhere to get an advantage over me). Until then, it's shoot on sight, no questions asked. My mercy meter ran out the other day, and will be empty for a looooong time.

Then a full ban of the steam account/Arma II purchase of whoever is caught. If you can't play the game legitimately, you shouldn't be able to play at all. Not like it matters, when there's a will, there's a way :\

IMO hackers should get IP banned from all servers, period.

Game purchase only. Stuido Kickstarter = yes Sorry, but both me and my friends feel paying the usual standard price for a game once is enough. I've grown tired of playing games requiring subscriptions (yeah yeah they need constant flow for servers blah blah and updates blah blah blah), but I feel this could be a very popular game in the long run, so with enough purchases you get more than enough money to make dlc in the future (thus more money), with some on the side.

Great job, we traded kills after our buddy announced friendly. Now we have decided to Shoot on sight, no more calling out. So thank you random people, you have completed our transformation to full on bandits > : ) /not a complain thread, just love the rush of our first major gun fight

You can, although I would consider you a horrible person not worthy of living for joking like that.

If anyone could help me out really quick, what do the settings mean beside a server? For example, 3dp:on ch:off and so on. I figure 3dp is 3rd person, but just curious what the others are for. Just looking for servers that show my friends name.

Anyone? I've tried searching and google but no luck.

update equipment loss topics +1 No but really, don't get attached to your gear, this is an alpha, blah blah usual stuff people overlook.

Will hop on and try it whenever these servers get to updating (b-_-)b

Dang, thats the car I found the other day, it got found out! Now I have to go camp it with my snipez until it's safe again.

I can only see like about 20 servers that have updated to 1.7.2.2, almost half being foriegn. How long does it usually take for more to update?

So i've been playing a few days now, and i've gotten 3 other friends to play Dayz with me. We logged out in Mogilevka last night heading north. What i'm curious about is that is it worth it for us to go to the NW Airfield? I figure it's probably a bandit filled haven, but we also need some better weapons. (we're all basically equipped with at least a melee weapon and pistol, 2 of us have primary weapons) Is there any tips for that place? Just don't want us going there just to get picked off in 10 seconds by the sniper armada.

That actually sounds like a good idea, will give it a try!

This is so bad, it's amazing! I can't say if I would want this in or not, considering it would be a time consumer. I would say make it a little more realistic. Increase the times a bit. Maybe the piss meter would take 2h (varied by what you drink or dehydration) to fill from 0-10, while the shit meter would be more of 4h (also varied). The piss isn't as bad, but I don't shit every few hours. I'm a morning dumper. I do kinda like the idea, even though it's would be a strange, yet realistic mechanic.

As I just said, we caught a lucky break with a low pop. server, and the NW Airfield was empty (cept for the few dozen zeds). We were still very cautious of course. Scopped it out with bino's from multiple spots as we made our way from southern barracks around to the most southern hanger. Checked map multiple times, no man indicator around cept us, and had our buddy with the only scopped gun chill and keep watch as we gathered ammo and supplies for him + ourselves. I feel we would have had trouble if this was on one of our usual servers, since last time we were on one of those, we actually killed a server hopper (or he was logging in, but horrible place to log IMO). It was the fire station slightly north in the back of elektro next to the smokestack. We were looting it and getting ready to head when I looked to my right at the wall inbetween the back door and the 3 front doors. There was some random, so I said "Is that any of you?". Then his name came up, and it obviously wasn't one of us. With an AK in his hand, I lite him up with my Winchester. Amazingly enough, he respawned right in the exact same spot, which freaked us out even more, so we lite him up again. We waited for a minute to make sure before looting, which of course, he was decked out (first GPS I had ever picked up).

I got on last night to find my friends on a very low populated server (2 not including them), so getting a lucky break we all met up in elektro, raided the loots there, then headed north. Even though it was dark, it was pretty fun, for this was the first time I had actually played with it at night. We got to the airfield as the server reached 4AM server time, so there were now 8 others in the game with it getting brighter in the morning. Scouted it out from the southern barracks, and we went for it. Sadly the loot was just fair. Only unique thing we found was one of those assault rifles with attached grenade launcher (and alot of AKM ammo for me). I got a question though. Is it easier to find vehicles up north? Gonna take a while to head back south, so we were searching for a vehicle with no luck before I logged.

I'm not one for complaining, and I don't know if this is a bug or intentional (if it is, that kinda sucks), but I was at 12k blood. Zombie hit me twice, and I went unconsious, thus getting eaten alive. Still enjoying this game, but if I can't even take one or two hits on full health without passing out and getting eaten alive, then that's just sad.

No. Was just makin my way to elektro to meet up with friends, no shock, full health, no issues. Get hit twice, and drop unconsious. I spawned not far, so it's no big. Just thought u wouldnt go unconsious when getting hit until under at least 10k blood :\ *edit* 9k blood. Thanks for the info. I guess it was a bug.
