Lexi (DayZ)

For a moment I thought it was going to be DayZ Eye of the Tiger remix. I was disappointed. Also, you were playing on easymode (letting you get that shot through the grass), which was also also disappointing. Though I admire your determination of revenge. Gameplay was goood but some of the music was out of place, though in comparison to a lot of videos you did really well. Wish I could find bandits as retarded as those guys, sitting in the station like that with their heads sticking through the windows.

ACKNOWLEDGED.

Game purchase, then add content episodically and use DLC when you need cash. Stay away from cash-shop systems like the plague.

I hope I find this guy in game, I would make him say all my favourite lines. PUT DA COOKIE DOWN.

Non-lethal (knocking someone unconscious) mechanics, as outlined by -FN-, could add an interesting dynamic to PvP: Do you shoot the enemy to pieces? Or attempt to subdue them. Though I'd have to question the incentive for not killing the enemy, apart from maybe not wasting bullets and some form of compassion. What sprung to mind was melee weapons, ones that would knock the opponent out, though melee is a suggestion in and of itself.

Daze. Day zed. Day zee. Tend to use different pronunciation depending on who I'm talking to.

I eagerly await the report of your first operations. It's nice to see some meta gaming that is in the spirit of the game, rather than abuse of the current mechanics. Hope you guys have a lot of skill and firepower, the North can be unforgiving..

Well' date=' that's just their poor choice, team-up and get your mates to teach him a lesson. Also, that leaves the ability for you to head back and grab your stuff... if you choose to. Well, idiots will always be present in some form or another, though it's really up to the player how they choose to play. Maybe they just wanted to get out of there before any other players heard the shots? I have been killed several times whilst sitting on a corpse, deciding on what to take. Learnt that if you find a corpse with good stuff in it, it's best to grab quickly and run.

Mutonizer makes a great point in that there are bigger problems within the game at the moment, such as the abuse of the games mechanics itself, as well as long-term tactics within organised groups coming into the game such as getting one person to do all the runs for loot etc. The NVGs themselves are not overpowered, they are rare pieces of loot that are unfortunately somewhat difficult to counter, but by staying in cover, in a group and knowing how to mess with NVG users (flare in the general direction can be a good deterrent). Though often players with NVGs are part of the larger groups that, by sheer numbers will be able to kill you. (3 well organised snipers versus a lone survivor are always going to win) Moral of the story is to group up guys!

Would definitely be a nice feature, but detract from the 'all alone' feeling you get when thrown into the harsh environment that DayZ offers. Meeting up, that process of finding survivors and wondering "is that really my friend?" is an interesting part of the game. I understand your frustration at not being able to spawn in a squad, and I'm sure it would be a nice addition, I'm not sure I can see it being added, simply because being isolated and alone is an experience I think is intentional, and removing it (allowing clans to instantly start together) would give clans/groups an advantage over individual survivors and probably mean that clan mates will be less inclined to group with singular survivors. Just my 2 cents.

I wish there was a randomly generated event where you could find a bunch of zombies doing something similar. Would be a nice bit of comic relief in an otherwise unforgiving environment. Though if you manage to do this, a video wouldn't go amiss.

The first time? Hmm, it's been a while now. I know the first time I played I acquire a massive phobia of the trees, due to having spawned fairly late at night. From there I think I stumbled into Balota airfield, encountering heavy gunfire. I ran for cover on top of the control tower, listening to the bandits(?) below me, running around. I sat in almost pitch-black staring at the ladder, listening for any signs of them, after the movement went quiet. After a few minutes, I span my revolver barrel (back when the revolver was the default pistol) three times (reloading whilst full) to taunt any potential threats. After a brief pause, a revolver barrel in the room below me was span. Each of us spinning the barrel to taunt the other, me stuck on the tower, them, unable to climb to the top. Frozen in place, I stayed for roughly 10 minutes. Until I gingerly descended. No-one was around. Can't remember in which town I ended up next, but after a few minutes of running away from the airfield I saw a guy (not sure if was the same one) standing completely still. I spoke. No reply. So I killed him. Then I became a bandit. Shortly afterwards, I met up with a friend; who then created another 'first': my first time getting attacked in a town. He fired a revolver shot which pulled a horde of zombies, we fired shot after shot into the zombie crowd, standing side by side. He went down after a minute or so of the intense fire-fight. I was sure he would be fine though, picking off the last few stragglers. Walking over to his corpse I realised I was too late, he was dead. I was all alone. At night. In a town I was sure was filled with zombies. I crawled into the nearest house and lay there till the morning, daring not to set foot outside again.

Cannibalism is a great idea -- often my friends who start the game ask me if it exists. Adding it would add an extra incentive to kill, especially if you're out in the woods, lost, lacking in food or any wildlife nearby. I also agree that it should impact your humanity but should probably restore less food than cooked animal meats due to the relative abundance of human 'meat' versus the amount of animals you find.

The survivor skin is arguably better in the city, though not really to a useful degree. The bandit skin is far more useful out in the wilderness. To the point where in a group, the ones of us who have the bandit skin are often lost by our survivor companions, annoyingly.

You can store items inside tents / vehicles. These are both server bound. People can find these tents / vehicles whilst you're offline and loot them. Also, yes there are multiple churches and there are church icons on several of the maps.

Looking forward to all the amazing features. Will be interesting to see how the dog affects gameplay. Wonder if you'll be limited to 1 per player or end up going around with a wolf pack-esque army... I suppose it'd be one way to save on ammo.

Necro: replying to an old thread thus bumping it back up for discussion

Keep your friends close, enemies closer, and your CZ 550 the closest.

I can confirm this bug has occurred in my gameplay multiple (2-3) times whilst playing with friends.

I find it odd how the bandit skin is a more useful camouflage though (at least in grasslands), I mean, it's practically desirable in comparison to the stand-out default.

Fairly nice vid, could do with more footage and better aim but awesome nevertheless. ;)
