Did you ever have that dream where your being chased uphill on a country road by a horde of zombies but all you have is a kids trike to ride. They just nearly reach you at the brow as you peddle like a maniac, but then its downhill and your away. You look back, laughing at some of them falling over on the steep gravel, when an engine noise fades in from the field on your left. It's a 3 car military convoy 400m out. You skid and throw the trike into the hedgerow on the right and take cover prone behind a tree. Well to cut a long story short i think Rocket had a similar vision. I left out the part about simon and lewis from the yogcast holed up in their secret bunker (which was closing due to lack of funding) as it wasnt really relevant although their friend Seananners (dressed in ninja garb) taught me the zombie face rip move before i left.

Bandit sits on hill sniping, kills then goes down and loots, Coward sits on hill sniping, kills then waits for another.

If zeds still knock you out through walls and flicker about when your try to shoot them up close, then yeah it's too hard. With about a 100 different zed animations, and some decent pathing/collision detection. It should redeem itself.

The International Internet Committee (IIC), the body responsible for regulating world-wide Internet use and international policies, Have a law making it illegal for anyone to use hacks, cheats or bots in any online video game. This law, playfully referred to during debates as “Policy #1337″, classifies these hacking activities in the same category as hacking software, websites, or distributing viruses. Although video game hacking, as a breach of the legally binding contract presented in a video game’s Terms of Service, has always been classified as a criminal act, this new law escalates the severity to be a felony charge. Also, cooperation from International governments on the issue make it easier for video game developers to charge foreign citizens with the crime. Individuals who are caught using a video game hack face fines of 10,000 EUR (approx. $14,000 USD) per instance that the hack was used, as well as up to 10 years of jail time. The revenue collected is partially shared with the game studios affected by the hacking, and the rest funds the ongoing investigation.

Yeah if i want lots of gear and vehicles, ill play the wasteland mod. DayZ is for cherishing every box of matches you find, having 5 rounds left and 3 enemies, and for finding that vehicle spawn 10k out in the dark without waypoints.

Great news. I doubt the 10k euros makes up for the lost tourism this almost bankrupt country is suffering.

New loot spawns look great and more rewarding to find (It was like playing mario, with all the coins in one place before). That was one of my major gripes, as it's such a large part of the game. Also i wonder if because guns can degrade and such, clothes could become dirtier and even slighty clean up in rain or by swimming. Would wearing day-glo slippers make it hard to climb steep grass in the rain?

I got one idea so far and its a great one, combining slang with both the zombie outbreak and the disease aspect of DayZ. BRING THE SICKNESS!

View distance is limited on the DayZ mod, because it's an unoptimized alpha mod. Where the zombies have way too much data (5 maps) on them to run smoothly. Rocket couldn't create new models with less skeleton etc, not his fault. It wasn't essential was it. You can bet the standalone will push it back to ARMA standards as they will compensate loads not having to run AI on troops. Bring the sickness!!!

Thing is you wont be able to actually crap on someone, if you try to it'll place the crap on the floor level the same as the dead body, therefore placing the crap inside the dead body model. also if you crap in a building itll probably be invisible under the floor like where most my guns go when i drop them.

Walking dead held my interest for a few episodes, and you cant deny Andrew Lincolns acting in it. Yet it held no real suspense and became this contrived mess of ego characters you couldn't care less about, making poor and frankly unbelievable decisions. Building characters and killing them off, it became like a soap opera in fast forward. 7/10

By the looks of things the standalone wont be out for a while. Yet with all the extra maps, and custom chernarus maps out now. Not to mention Rmod. It's probably more fun than it was back in spring. The custom chernarus maps with extra castles, barracks and vehicles are just brilliant. If you liked Ghost Recon 1 and 2 get this.

I'd wear a string vest, some loose fit jeans and day-glo slippers. and i want to shoot this guy. http://freenewfashiondesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Shiny-or-Glittery-Shirts-and-Suits.jpg

How is star citizen beating it, i mean what ground is that breaking, can i hold a guy hostage on it, can it scare me with a heavy whack on the back when i'm calmly looting. can it give the thrill of taking down a total ganker. doubt it. VOTE DAYZ, nowz i tell you.

My idea is to have many many spawn points for items, and distribute so many items among them. This could let you find a car tire in the back of a car, or in a ditch. It would make some towns scarce of loot for a while, while other places spawn more than average amounts of loot. This could force you to move on to another place. Also i'd like at least one rare gun to spawn absolutely anywhere, maybe on a decayed special forces body. Loot could also be hidden from plain sight, under a tarpaulin or in a locked room. Some loot caches could even have a back story, told through dead bodies and blood trails. The reason for the idea is once you know where the loot is, it's the same experience to gear up every time.

We need memetic nets to place over our tents! In different colours! With movable axis! 4tw

I hated it, Only found empty cans, flares and the edge of the map. Would be cool if you lived there, maybe.

You go all the way to the barracks and don't farm it a while? I see it all as placeholder for my M4 CCO SD i'll get 10 minute before restart^^

I heard in the standalone there are scootechs, and kids trikes, even pogo sticks, and you can play card games and brew liqour in toilets. Someone said there was tinned spam and chickens give eggs, and you can perform surgery on wounded people. They mentioned how you can make different generators and electronics and you can make a white flag to surrender with, One guy said he'd played a leaked copy from russia and all the road signs were in english for them, although he only managed 5mins before his brain seized up with the excitement of finding an M16 with a built-in bean dispenser and xbox720 preloaded with GTA6 beta on it. I saw a working copy myself, ride past in a courier van at high speed. It looked really important and was probably really amazing and authentic but i cant be any vaguer than that right now.

Im running AMD Phenom II x965 processor 3.42ghz ECS MCP61M-M3 motherboard 4gb DDR3 ram XFX ATI HD Radeon 4890 black edition 1gb DDR5 ram Win 7 catalyst 12.10 driver with app profiles So after 5mins to an hour of playing dayz the trees and grass start strobing white. I get a bit of screen tearing during the strobing and then the game freezes for about 10secs, the screen garbles for a sec and then minimizes to desktop or the screen just goes black. Were i can still hear and control the game yet it wont alt-tab back on. Sometimes saying "the display driver has stopped working and has recovered" I can Shift - FLUSH the game back on yet it usually crashes 10secs later or maybe not for another 30mins-hour. I can look at the sea all day but as soon as i go near trees it can start again, Ive tried every combo of settings on the game, the AMD control center and different drivers. Only thing i notice is when Anti-aliasing is off in the game settings, it looks like a snow storm. All other games work perfectly, black mesa, warcraft. Also i ran Speedfan and its saying GPU temp goes between 54-94c when playing Dayz which ppl say is normal. Please help.

I've fixed the above issue (Graphic card was overheating due to me not removing the flap on the case for the fan outtake during installation) and DayZ runs like a beast on full settings. Booyah

Good Stuffs Rocket, and you should try those sensory deprivation tanks to chill over launch period. Take it easy, but take it. RE: Peoples reaction to Steam. Embrace it, its less pollution after all.

When you dont die like a noob for a while, you become this chap.

I may have had some words of cynicism earlier, but i'm totally for this. It's new ground (to my knowledge) and after hearing your gear and body will remain infected, I'd say most late game characters would have some medicines already stocked up, and go looking for other meds if they needed them. especially if the char has nvg or a mk48. I'll be honest and say yeah ive jumped off the bridge at kamenka a few times to respawn, but if i had a m14 aim even a m4a3, i wouldn't stop till i found a cure or died trying. I just envisioned myself interrogating my squad after hearing a cough amongst them. "Who's ill? TELL ME NOW!" (multiple coughs) "oh shiiii". Bring the fear, i love it.
