To all of you who participated in trying to get that bus that was crashed outside of the church in elektro, My group and i had a combined 9 kills, and like 5 deaths total between all of us. It was a glorious battle!! and all of you who participated...Holy shit thank you for that experience... it was different and memorable. And to whoever managed to get it fixed and ultimately take off with it? Congratulations on your new bus :(

Oh yes, good times indeed :D

Bump of the day (wanting a few to view this)

Doesnt sound like it, I once ran north past the NWAF for about 30 minutes, its very brown and plain out there and is seemingly endless. had to turn back after a while due to lack of food & water

Why it so hard speek propurly

did we watch different videos? because the one i watched....nobody was killed...

Im lost, Cherno has its own Airfield? NWAF isnt considered the northend of the map?

www.DAYZCOMMANDER.com its a launcher better than Sixlauncher tells u day/night/server settings :) and no all servers are set to a timezone so you can usually guess US servers around 9-10 pm in the USA (no matter where you are) are either nearing, or getting close to night-time. At that time. DE and UK servers and stuff are nearing morning. some US servers are set to china time for some odd reason. anyway. hope i helped Also- sometimes when a server resets at random or something. ive noticed it tends to set the time back a little. which can cause you to be at daylight on your favorite server when it should be night-time. at 1am

Killing animals in the wilderness and cooking the meat is the best way to obtain blood when ALONE from what ive seen. 800 blood per meat whereas canned food only gives 200 A whole cow will heal 6400 blood

Another thing that angers me.... People who confuse THERE with THEIR

yes, cheaters suck. (least ur not bitching about PVP). Also you get my beans because you spelled LOSE properly. instead of "Loose"..fuckin angers me

Wait a second..are you against BANDITS or the players who clearly spawn/find gun/murder players/then play some stupid music over their Ingame mic just to troll you? BIG DIFFERENCE i <3 that bandits exist, i choose not to be one. But that doesnt mena they should be removed.

Look, i dont agree with the whole "YOU MUST BE A DUMBASS KID LOL" shit thats being said, but you are Definitely a dumbass. Your post started with practically "Guys i painted a bigass target on my head, and just stood in one location and someone logged in and killed me" okay.. yeah, maybe if you had went 12-13 feet away from that building to the dense ass forest and waited WELL HIDDEN like any intelligent person would have done...you would still be alive, and you would have gotten the drop on those server hoppers. I dont think people should be comparing you to a little kid (seeing as 80% of the players i meet are 13-14 years old)....i have yet to meet someone my age. So instead? We should insult your intelligence. Learn some tactics, Learn how to not just sit in a high-value military building waiting..and waiting. Because guess what? Im sure server-hoppers or not. someone somewhere was watching you, OR/ Someone was already waiting for you OR/ someone would have walked in and gotten the drop on you. Good day That is all. Dying to server hopping sucks...But the OP could have avoided his.

Heres the thing rocket, You say you cant bring yourself to open a kickstarter... Aside from the people who bitch about you and your "shitty GAME" when clearly its an alpha mod, You do have a community here who supports you..you really do even if people do tend to complain about things you ultimately have no control over.. I.E. Griefers...sure they can be fixed but new griefing tactics will always exist..happens in every game. Anyway back on topic! As for the Free2Play model.. I dont mind it! EXCEPT--- Pay2win- Not an option... nobody likes to get constantly overpowered or bragged to by players who have considerably large amounts of money to pay CashShops. Pay2Level- Still annoying... spending cash to buy a 600% XP boost for 12 days or whatever I know Dayz has no leveling system but you get my point. Since DayZ has a fairly large playerbase? Even something simple like a SKINS cash-shop would be cool But make everything earnable by playing too i.e. 5 days played = 5 cash and a skin costs 30 or something... That kind of model is okay, because ultimately? if u cant afford a skin? You are not at a disadvantage..AT ALL. but back to my original statement. The community is here. we support you. dont feel ashamed to see your project through by any means necessary But do not push aside your creative mind and vision and bend over for some company that wants the model to basically assrape its customers wallets. because once its out? Sure you will have players But you think people are complaining now? I tend to find the ones with mass amounts of money to blow on a game and grief the poor players....complain ALOT more... Thanks rocket

I am not a bandit. I say this often, because i do not feel i belong in this category. i have often stated how i will fire at people who are in my way, but simply out of fear.' But i wanted to bring another thing to the surface for you all to think about. Example- I am out of food, out of water, i cant find anything...times running out... A player comes across my path well..often people will just fire at them Killing them and loot their body. I have started doing something different which has become EXTREMELY effective. I will shoot them in the leg/lower body once (99% of the time this does not kill them) ---unless your packing something like an AS50 of course--- Making them pass out and lose 6000-7000 blood. i will then take what i need i.e Food/water Leaving their guns, their bandages, bloodbags, whatever. This is a mental choice you have to make and is part of my Roleplaying experience. youd be surprised how you can just injure someone enough to make them submissive. and only get what you need. Rather than killing someone and ending up leaving 90% of their stuff on their corpse because you already had most of it anyway.

I just want to make one statement about the "no direction" comment. and the "SAND BOX" comment that followed. Makes total sense! (the sandbox part) the Op is still a dumbass. when i was a kid, and i played in the sandbox, i had no direction and i WAS limited by what i had to use in terms of tools... Buckets,shovels, sometimes? other kids were there and in my way..know what i did? i fucking kicked sand in their face and destroyed their shit.... Now i know im taking the sandbox thing semi literally here...But thats exactly what Day-Z is. A sandbox,...filled with other people, who are in your way. You may make some friends, but maybe not. Semi off topic.. But the OP is still a dumbass and his thought(s) "blew my mind" in a bad way...not sure what else to say.

Not only that? while im sure he will add edible plants..whatever 99% of people could piece together "cup hands, drink" But not everyone knows which plants to eat ... I do agree with you HOWEVER The fact that its changed so much? is a good thing...at least he doesn't just ignore it and leave it alone, getting it wrong 100 times is okay if he eventually finds that sweet spot :) its juts nice to see a dev actually making patches often.

Im waiting for rocket to get on here and go "Peace out" to the OP lol Also. to OP. just because another dev company will probably try to steal his idea (And i know zombie survival wasnt his idea), but OBVIOUSLY his version of it was fucking SUCCESSFUL... Doesn't mean it will be successful....Big company + Money does NOT always mean Great game. many times have the big-name companies let me down OVER and OVER again. get your head out of your ass. There are people like you, who are acknowledging it is an Alpha/beta...followed by bitching about it you state its a mod, And then you bitch some more and try to shoot him down. Then you say your gonna announce some project? Why the fuck would anybody here follow you? especially after your crybaby stunt in your Original post...

To reply to this as simply as i can in MY own opinion... Personal witnessing of the Shoot on sight Evolution. Myself and 2 other players Friendly as ever! we looked for survivors, we didnt fire on anyone who was unarmed or Armed unless fired on first. weeks later. 100+ Deaths later being spawn killed, Murdered for absolutely no reason whilst running in an unlootable location by a sniper Micing to someone. Friendly? they stare...and stare...and ultimately fire at you. my friends and i have NOT become "bandits" but more like.... Extremely paranoid survivalists, we do fire on sight now if someone is IN OUR WAY. i.e we see a player 100m away in some building, he runs east, were headed west. well we wont hunt him, or shoot him. But lets say he was running in our direction? and our building of loot choice was 1 block north. Hes gone. hes an obstacle and he's possibly armed and dangerous. Now thats not to say that occasions dont arise where i can meet actual Friendlies, its happened many times.... come across a player whos armed, your armed (sometimes they fire out of fear) you fire back.. and you hear over the mic. FRIENDLY!! just chill! or something? thats when you decide to either give it a chance or dont. If said player is carrying a makarov and you have an AS50 and Alice pack and a Glock17 or something... Good chance hell turn on you eventually. If you meet players and your equally geared and equally starving/thirsty? You ultimately build a stronger friendship and those players dont become a problem (skype friend/steam whatever) So yes its evolving. And to be honest? its not a COD kiddie fest, a PVP battleground... take the survivors. take the bandits. SPlit them in half and set them on opposite sides of the room Now look at all the survivors. I can almost bet you out of those survivors, 50% of them will shoot another survivor WITHOUT the intent of "LOLOLOL ill just kill them and take their stuff" its fear, Fear of Losing what you have maybe? fear of maybe they are bandits? or just flat out clueless-ness. Its really survival of the fittest in a way,If you want to find friendlies, either get the drop on them and dont ever give them the chance to shoot you? i.e. someone follows...Make them run in front of you and guide them. that way your not at risk of having a bullet put in your back. As for the bandits? It happens..Look at any apocalyptic movie, End of the world, Dystopian, cyber punk WHATEVER...anything involving a "fucked up world or/ The end" scenario.. You always have those groups who ride around together firing off shots in the air circling a city or something shortly before raiding it and murdering everyone inside. That would definitely probably exist in post apocalyptic world... So yeah, i cherish the Pvp aspect, as long as zombies are extremely strong as they should be (They're freaking zombies) shambling or running.. You shouldnt be able to laughably run into 60 of them and just trololol your way through a building or something killing players. Thankfully zombies are a little more aware and such now. Also last thing. There are people who's sole purpose is to log in, Grab weapons. find players. kill them. But its a small portion of the community. BANDITS ARE NOT what these represent. Last night in Elektro, me and 2 buddies were looting, when 7 people all carefully and tactically raided elektro...killing zombies, players, looting, signaling. and then quietly slipped out of elektro never to be heard from again. If they were just out to kill they wouldnt have done it in an extremely orderly fashion, well executed and planned. we tried to fight back but they had all corners being watched, scouts, overwatch, and a leader. It was genious! and i was glad to be apart of that situation was something cool to experience. Anyway im extremely tired and partly rambling! enjoy Day-Z. i know i do :) and if players get in your way? if your first thought is "I dont know if i can trust them"...well you probably cant. so end it there

I did not search this before posting, because i believe when I myself am experiencing a problem (and a fellow player experiencing the same problem in different ways) at the same time, means i should post this because its Unique. Okay so, Pre 1.7.2 Zombies had their problems, thats fine, They would flock from miles away at the sound of a gunshot, but were prettymuch "semi" easy to bypass by Crouch-walking by them/crawling 1.7.2 Zombies no-longer care about my gunshots (Unless they are relatively close to me). I would fire a lee-enfield middle of a city to test this, only to count a total of 8-12 zombies swarming me (usually in groups of 2) spaced 6-8 seconds apart. okay whatever thats a bit broken (too easy) BUT when crouch-walking/crawling zombies now see me miles away and just start sprinting at me, sometimes even if im not moving. also the new Vision Counter Outdoors, standing open field im getting 54.0-75+ ish Crouching, it goes down to 45 ish laying down. 1.5 (and ish) Zombies still rush me from EXTREMELY Far away. again, even while not moving at times. Indoors. Crouched, indoors, Vision goes up above 70 every single time. Zombies come running through the door whilst im crouch walking from far distances (can tell by how long the moaning/running ratio takes for them to get to me. As well as, even when im not moving...in comes the zombies (Sometimes from extremes (3 story house, im indoors top floor back room, looking out window, zombie comes running from outside in field from far away and up 3 flights of stairs and straight to me. Again (I fire my weapon, no zombies come...confused at this point) NOTE: I AM NOT COMPLAINING, BITCHING, WHATEVER. I WILL NOT REPLY TO THIS THREAD UNLESS THE RESPONSE IS CONSTRUCTIVE. AGAIN- DID NOT SEARCH FORUMS BEFORE POSTING. DOING MY JOB AS AN ALPHA/BETA TESTER BY REPORTING "known" bugs. Thank you. Keep up the great work Rocket! love it so far :) many hours of great fun behind me, and more to come! --EDIT.. I DO NOT WANT ZOMBIES WEAKENED, in fact? make them even harder.. But the vision/going thru walls/running at me from 1km away when theres zombies 5m away that are ignoring me.. It just doesnt make sense. That is all.

So, Im going to assume That you didnt backstab me, since the guy who shot me when i returned was weilding an M4 and theres no way you hauled ass and came back in under 4 minutes. Either way PM me. Wed like to have you in our group. Apologize i had to go for a few, Family stuff... Anyway Yeah PM me so i can add you on skype/steam or something

BUMP- tryina find mikey now Lol Sorry for the bump. you literally posted right as i bumped it. Yeah, He managed to kill me whilst i was passed out.. And oddly I exited/respawn/disconnect/disconnect/rejoin. and i was back at the Airfield laying in a tree next to some zombies. Should PM me with your Skype or steam or something :)

It was nothing personal, And i apologize for having to shoot you, but my buddy and i had just recently been shot at, and when you hauled ass down the road and pulled into the camp area like a psycho dragging zombies with you, we had to make a tough choice. I also want to let you know, Your van will be taken care of! It has undergone repairs and is better than ever. Yours Truly. Brachra & Kaikarden P.S. were not bandits.

You can keep saying that if you want, however. between me and my 3 person group, we have a combined (ONE KILL). we do not kill those who do not pose a threat. However on the other side we have all been killed 80+ times. Mostly when were 100% unarmed, and have nothing on us. OR because some sniper thought it would be funny when were 800M away going away from a city. weve become very Cautious, and have only just recently decided to kill players if necessary. Even to the guy who was shooting at us, We didnt manage to get him. we booked it, hid, and thats when the van incident happened.

Not entirely an idiot... The server is Expert and has everything turned off in terms of Tags/chat/names etc. Should be safe....i hope...
