Yeah. I will be doing lots of "testing" when it comes out. That is of course if it EVER comes out. I seem to recall that January 2013 was the predicted release for the standalone. Something tells me it's not coming out next month.

Well, one day I was walking along the coast with an akm, a bag full of morphine and bloodbags, and a pocket full of dreams. I happened upon a hapless wandering survivor wearing a bandit mask who appeared unarmed, as if he had just washed up on the beach. He appeared to be in need, so I shot him in the kneecaps to teach him the harsh realities of the land. As he was crawling away in horror, he could only ask "why? Why would you shoot me?" Since he did not shout expletives at me, i gave him some morphine, a transfusion, and told him to be on his way. He saluted me and started running east down the coast towards cherno, as many hapless birdies too. As he was running away with a renewed sense of life, I shot him in the legs again. I patched him up again and suddenly reached enlightenment. As thanks, I shot him yet AGAIN, and left him to his fate. Hours later I was driving down the coast and saw a body. I decided to stop and check it out. Studying his body, it appeared to be the same person who I had shot in the legs three times only hours earlier. Indeed, he had only crawled about 100 meters away from where his legs had last been broken before he decided to end it, or perhaps a zombie got to him first. Who knows? Why did I do it? Well, for the lulz of course. and that sweet, sweet hero skin.

US 264 admins definitely use hacks to "admin" their servers through esp, teleporting, and gear spawning, while pretending to be the authority and banning anyone with names they dont like, or anyone who uses side chat.

It feels like you're describing me here. :P Was the name General Direction, Phoenix, or something else? Sounds very familiar. Hiding in a church when I start getting shot at, some survivor books his ass inside with his lee enfield (who even picks up a lee enfield for any reason other than to kill people?)and because he ran straight at me, and i was just getting shot at, I killed his ass. I ended up killing his friend camping right outside the church and side chat rage ensued

Ever since updating to the latest arma 2 beta patch and installing the 1.7.6 update for DayZ, any server i try to join (with all the updates, also) I get stuck on authenticating and then the "Something went wrong, disconnect and try again" message. I've tried running it through steam and dayz commander

Try another server. I was playing yesterday and found three heli crashes within 3-5 miles of eachother. Only one had loot though.

Hell yeah. There have been so many times where I had no weapon and figured "Fuck it, I'll just run up behind this guy and judo chop him in the back of the face. Oh wait.."

Terrible idea. Being able to spawn anywhere a person is would just suck the fun out of the game for non zombies. If i wanted to play left4dead i'd play left4dead

If so, what is it used for?

Your server keeps going down... Are you restarting it like every 10 minutes or something?

Not a single damned vehicle on any of them. Anybody got a server where ALL the vehicles aren't already being hoarded? Me and a couple of friends are looking for a server. All we ask is one truck. Even a dirtbike would be fine!

ITT: Grown men pretending they're My Little Ponies and organizing an in-game circle jerk. Oh lawd.

I'm at -99564 :x http://i.imgur.com/24kAp.jpg Pics or it didn't happen <3 :)

Use the latest dayz patch/arma 2 beta patch.

To the group of players on Colorado US 1450, thanks for the fucking awesome time. Me (permaphrost), Matt, and Alexis were up near Pustoshka after running north looking for supplies and stuff. I had a pistol, alexis had a hatchet, and matt had an m4a3 cco that we found in a deer stand. I was the most experienced one of us, and I was pretty much leading us around town to town collecting supplies and weaponry. There was a guy in a helicopter flying around occasionally. We kept prone thinking he didn't see us. I then heard a car coming down the road from the direction of Vybor. So we all get down and lay in this field as I'm watching these guys park their car in some bushes. Matt thinks that the helicopter guy is looking for us, or maybe looking for the guys in the car. I say it's probably an organized group. I tell my friends I really want to go over there and jack that car, but we decide to use our better judgement and wait it out. My friends couldn't see the car but I kept assuring them it was there. I see one, then two, then three, and then a fourth guy come out of the car and start heading into pustoshka. My friend couldn't see any of this going on because (I assume) they were playing in first person. We waited a couple more minutes laying down in the grass and a guy came over and was slowly walking around as if he was looking for us or something. I tell my friends over vent "SHOOT HIM, SHOOT HIM NOW!" and matt was like "I don't see anyone!" So I told him to stand up and shoot the guy. He got up to a crouch and shot the guy dead with one shot to the head (Sorry xxoneshotxx or whatever your name was). I ran over and quickly looted his body, taking his ak74 kobra and some ammo. We get back down in the grass and crawl slowly over to the barn northeast of pustoshka. We wait there for a bit, cook some meat and heal up. Matt watches the road and tells me that the car just drove off in the direction of Pustoshka. So we start running to the little bridge area north of Pustoshka and I tell them "Hey, since the car came from this direction, chances are it will be coming back this way. So we take up positions at the bridge and wait a couple of minutes. I notice a lake to the west and decide to go fill up my water bottle. As I do that, the helicopter guy comes flying back and he starts to land. So I run over and he takes off again before I get there. We go back to the bridge and hide under it. I then hear the car coming back up the road driving hella fast. I crouch besides one of the low brick walls of the bridge, and as the car comes into view I stand up, turn the aks on full auto, and spray the shit out of the car. The driver dies almost immediately, another guy falls out of the car unconscious, and a third jumps out and tries to aim at me. I fill him with lead immediately and he dies. As this is all going on, zombies swarm us because of the sound of the car and all the gunfire. It gets pretty frantic as we're fighting off the zombies (Alexis hacking them with her hatchet, matt shooting with his gun, and me methodically helping to take them out). As we're in the midst of it, I notice the guy who was unconscious get back up and start aiming at me, so I take him out immediately. I go and loot him real quick and take his L85 AWS. I scream over vent for everyone to get in the car quickly because the zombies are all dead, but I hear the helicopter coming back. As everyone fumbles to get in, the helicopter swings around and I notice he has two gunners. They start shooting at us as I peel off down the road towards pustoshka. We weave in and around the buildings until eventually we get turned around and are heading back towards Vybor. The helicopter is chasing us the whole way. Thankfully the gunners weren't too great. About halfway to Vybor they manage to shoot out our tire or something. I dunno. Our car just stopped. So I quickly told everyone to get out. I jumped out and ran into some bushes on the side of the road. My team wasn't as quick and they ended up getting destroyed by the helicopter gunners. The helicopter hovered there for a while. I stood up and started shooting at the right-side gunner. I managed to hit him and make him bleed. The helicopter started turning and I was in a firefight with the other gunner. I managed to kill him (Sorry Mapleleaf_Medic) and then the helicopter sped off to refuel or something. My team was dead besides the now wheelless car, so I buried their bodies and then chucked a grenade at the car, destroying it. If we couldn't have it, nobody could. I started making my way back to our camp to stash the two new guns I got. I was the only survivor of this little war. This was by far the most awesome experience I've had in DayZ to date. It felt like we were in the middle of a freaking war man. So intense. Names I can remember: Mapleleaf medic, oneshot, abraham hatchetman (i think), Owntmeal, and danredda (the helicopter pilot). I've put in over 300 hours playing this game solo, but it wasn't until I started playing with friends that things got interesting. For all you lone wolfers, I highly suggest to get some friends to play with. I fraps'd the first part of my story where matt killed the guy in the field, but I forgot to turn it on for the rest of it because it was so damn intense. I wish I had though. My heart was beating so fast.

Find the website of the server you usually play on (if there is one, if not you're screwed) Website should have ip address and port number of server get on arma 2 OA, go to multiplayer, ignore the maintenance popup, and click "Remote" at the bottom right of the server browser. Put in the ip/port number. Play DayZ.

God I love reading posts by people where English is clearly not their first language. xD You're a funny little guy.

So you're saying to trust everyone? Yay double negatives!

So is immediately calling admin abuse with no knowledge as to what's really going on. Not that I'm saying it wasn't the admin, but it probably wasn't.

Yes. Give people even more reason to want to kill another.

Okay. Who taught you to type like that? They should be slapped mercilessly. I see you're from Holland, so forgive me if English isn't your first language. Seriously though, L2format.
