Now I won't lie, I'm a BANDIT. I love nothing more than hunting men (and women) across this great wilderness that is DayZ. PvE just doesn't cut the mustard anymore, zombies are a mere annoyance and playing Grizzly Adams (showing my age now) is, well just dull. So there you have it, I'm not a nice guy, I murder for the sport, hunting in DayZ is so much more than CoD or BF. However I've been doing this a long time and it's time to up the challenge a notch or two. So I've set myself some rules with which to play by and thought I'd share them here. First, start again as a new spawn, lose that DMR you've become soooooo fond of, say bye bye to the Alice pack, Ghillie and all the comforts in life. Suicide or drop it all in church for those most in need. From here on in its simple, you can ONLY pick up loot from bodies. Everything from food, weapons and bandages must be collected from the dead. Now just getting started you need to head to town and hope for some road kill, lol. Now out might get lucky, i found a body on Taviana with a red dot LMG and Lapuna the other day. Now you need to be disciplined, you pick up that tin of beans from the supermarket and your only cheating yourself. It's also cheating to get our mates to kill them :P So if you wanna try, post back here and let me know how it went. Happy hunting fellow Bandits.

So paying for an Alpha then getting the final game chucked in (at almost half price) is a bad thing.

Played it for a few hours last night and it does look very very pretty. However underneath the glossy polish its still a true Arma game. Now that's not a bad thing, Arma's brilliance gave us DayZ and so many more mods. However while I shot at pixels off in the distance, climbed hills to battle foes over Helicopters it was plainly obvious how much more than Arma, Dayz is. So for me, while I'm loving Arma 3 alpha, i personally will love the Standalone that much more. Also as I've said earlier, I see this new Arma 3 map being an official DayZ map dlc in a year or so. :)

I think there will be an official version or at least a release by the mods community devs. Think about it, Dayz mod was responsible for selling mountains of copies of Arma 2, 12mths or so from the launch of the standalone and they could do it all over again for Arma 3. They could quite easily sell it as the first official new DayZ map dlc, they've spent years working on it, why not make even more money out of it?

Lol, no not at all.

Ran to Electro hospital being chased by zeds as a new spawn and took refuge behind a guy with a AKM. Said I was friendly then watched him dispatch the zeds. Then when he wasn't looking put the muzzle of my makarov against the back of his head. His beans tasted good. :P

FN Fal or M14 Aim at 8000 damage, Nuff said...

Try bringing up your gear menu and bandaging, might have to mash a few buttons but it does bring out out and standing up again. It's happened to me a lot lately on MoK Taviana. I've been encountering another bug, when your mouse scroll doesn't work, only logging out and back fixes it. That's DayZ for you.

While I personally agree with the OP it's really a case of each to their own really. Everyone likes their gameplay differently and should be able to find a server to suit. For those pvp players out there, there is a Fallujah server QUE Z or something (Canadian) that's set up for Death match. Your equipped with full kit including m4 cco plus there is Apache helicopter and Humvees with 50cals.

At OP, oh how I laughed... :P

While you wait play Arma 2, Project Reality Arma 2 or one of the many many different variations on a theme that DayZ offers or maybe, shock horror, go play another game... :o :o :o

Well I don't think they sat there and said, "spoilt little cry babies, I'll be buggered if I'm putting out that frigging update (we spent hours preparing) now. Let them stew" Lol

Well this just fine and dandy, Rocket. Maybe if you did your job properly this wouldn't happen! It clearly states in your sig that your "In charge of not being retarded" How about you sort out the retards who thought that renamed cans were the end of the world. Then I can go sleep peacefully again. Now where's that friggin baby seal. :P

The FogeyZ are back in business with a spanking new server. East Coast (Washington DC) US based. UK/EU players, like myself, getting pings around 100ms. Its a bambi friendly 24/7 day time, with active admin and new buildings/secret bases to take over and call your own. We welcome players of all ages/abilities and even run our own medic service for survivors in need. We do however offer up the challenge for anyone to take on the Fogeysz on our home turf or several other bandit clans who roam the cities. We are also proud to announce our affiliation with the BSB gaming network. Just search for "Fogeyz [24/7 daytime]" in DayZcommander or use the ip in my sig below.

For the mature gamer out there, a UK based private hive with great pings and a smooth frame rate. Also welcome are players from the US/EU. We specialize in co op gaming, setting camps and repairing cars etc. You can join up with us or do your own thing, you can even try to find us if you fancy a bit of Bandit action but be warned, we will make you fight for any prize. ;) Simply sign up on our forums and add your in game name here... http://fogeyz.co.uk/index.php?topic=259.0 Then pm one of the admins, myself included your GUID or join our server "DayZ FogeyZ Private Hive" You will get kicked once but we will have grabbed your GUID. Then we have will get you whitelisted asap. Hope to see you older gamers real soon! B)

Why are idiots still voting for "real" brands, last I read is they never gave Rocket and Co permission to use them. Deal with it and move on folks.

Set the min number of players in DayZcommander filter and you will find loads of 30+ player servers on various maps. AWA Chernarus is alway busy, MoK Taviana is to.

Dayz have evolved into one of the most unique fps shooters ever, what's wrong with that? :)

Sometimes guys (community devs) you should really stick to your guns and not succumb to mob rule. One guys hard work and some genuinely good, funny, designs go to waste. Sometimes the masses really don't know best imo.

Turn off AVG, download DayZcommander and install it, then turn on AVG and when the warning pops up, then you should be able to set up an exclusion for it. Other than that, download Avast, it's free and works with DayZcommander. :)

I've gone from "omg I killed my first player, i feel so guilty" to out and out bandit. I don't kill new spawns on Chernarus but generally KoS anywhere north and personally think it adds to he danger in DayZ. It's not right or wrong it's just how I roll in this sandbox. I personally love being a bambi and running the gauntlet from other bandits. If someone wrote a script that magically stopped KoS the player base would drop loads, overnight. DayZ without bandits wouldn't be worth playing on either side imo.

I still can't get my head around all the fuss over a few names. The models were professionally created, with brilliant aging and looked similar to their real world counterparts. It's been made clear we can't have coca cola etc as they haven't agreed to let Rocket and Co use them. Can't say I blame them either, Beans means "bandits roaming a zombie infected wasteland murdering innocent survivors" heinz, for some reason I can't see that commercial running before the watershed. How's this breaks my immersion is beyond me but different strokes and all that. Oh and I was one of the nine who wanted the beans named after me, lol. :)

Arma 3 alpha + Dayz mod = busy until Standalone :)

Where I agree with the sentiment you might wanna wipe that brown nose son. A great game it might be, gods they aren't.

Rocket has said on numerous occasions that he wants to follow the "minecraft" model, so DayZ evolves into a great game. There will be bad updates, updates that don't work or break the balance of the game, bugs that slipped through testing. That's the very nature of the beast. All this fuss over bugs in an update and tins of food will do more to put back the standalone imo. Rocket and Co can't win, rush it out because we want it now but make it bug free or else. Pathetic if you ask me.
