I can already tell the difference. Instead of working on visuals, they need to fix the mechanics of the zombies. What I see, is a challenge, for the wrong reasons. Here's why: The latest updates supposedly fix the hit boxes, animations, etc. With this, they up'd the speed they run at as well, thus allowing latency to become a larger problem, actually making the zombies not function the way they were designed, and renders the patches useless in regards to attack movements. The zombies, are unpredictable, and the zig zag in Arma makes the zeds nearly impossible to shoot with any latency or frame drop when they sprint for you. When they attack you, the lag allows dissonance of the zombies and your player, even if they are in the correct zones of attack on the server, you see a zed hitting you from 5m away or some weird distance. Also, the inconsistency when sprinting (due to any lag) makes it even worse to take down the target. Now the game makes me wanna exploit the walking indoors in order to even get a bullet on these things! Note that this phenomenon above happens to me whether 30 ms ping, to 200ms ping, 10 fps, 70 fps.... Vanilla, custom server, etc. Also, the coding really screwed up the frames many people get when they (zeds) aggro in numbers. Even some people with i5s that run very well, get brought down to a crawling 10 or lower fps from say 20-40 fps on a server. This is most notable when vehicles pass by. Hueys and offroad vehicles usually hit harder for some reason. This never used to be a problem for me, even with the lower amounts of frames I tend to run. *Got a good enough rig to run fairly good settings with smooth gameplay?

On "official" servers you keep what gear you have on your body, including your backpack, across ALL "official" servers. Anything else, like hidden tents and contents, and vehicles, is stored ONLY on the server where you placed it. That's assuming you log off alive. If you die, you start from scratch with whatever loadout the server gives for carried gear. You won't lose your tents and stashes though. They'll still be on the server, as long as you access them occasionally. On "unofficial servers" everything is kept, but ONLY on that server. You go to another "unofficial" server you haven't been to before, you start from scratch with whatever loadout the server provides. DayZ Commander has a tick box to exclude "unofficial" servers. It's not perfect, but close enough.

I only kept playing the PVP + Gear server because I spent a few days not finding anything but ammo and glow sticks. I only find tents. Can they be taken and deployed in a brush somewhere? I know they are accessible to all if found but I have yet to find a tent that is mine that I can hide someplace. Still trying to piece this game together. Like how the servers work. The way I see it, you start with nothing every time you play unless you have a tent on a certain server with some gear that hasn't been taken yet? Some players make it sound like they have gathered vehicles, weapons, supplies and it stays with them server to server? Confused. Sorry, I think I'm gonna stop asking questions out of your answers. You gotta live too. lol

300+ Vehicles | 30+ Heli's | G17/Map | AutoRefuel | Vehicle Salvage | Increased Heli Crashes | 24/7 Daylight Do you change diapers too? I assume you would have to offer that. Hehe.. Would try it but the 24/7 daylight kills it for me... wish more used the 3hr-1hr style etc. I like night, better able to creep around.

Official DayZ Origins #GX EU20 - ARCUS (1.7.5/103419) [4h Day/Night] IP: 188.165.255.175:2802 http://www.arcus-gaming.com Hello people. Arcus, the admins of the old official EU20 (from the official hive) are back with a new Origins server. We've built a decent player base but are looking for more fresh people to join us. 3rd person = on Crosshairs = on Name plates = off Forum and Teamspeak will be up and running again shortly. This server will be around for the long run so you don't have to worry about the server shutting down. We recently switched to a French host so we have a new IP now: 188.165.255.175:2802 The server is the same so all characters, gear, vehicles, houses and such are still there, it's just the IP that have changed. We're serious about administrating this server and will not treat our own any different than a regular user, so there will be no admin abuse. We have active admins which prioritizes our players experience on our server. Hope to see you around! Cheers! -rB0rlax

The game is what you make it my friend. There's no missions. No structure. No set path. You spawn empty handed in the zombie infested wilderness and try to survive. You need to find a weapon to protect yourself. Tools with which to feed yourself or fix vehicles. You can scavenge food and drink from towns or hunt and cook animals and drink from ponds. You can find hunter weapons in farm buildings and barns. You can get military gear from numerous military outposts. You can hunt fellow survivors and steal their stuff. This makes you a bandit. You can hunt bandits and make chernarus safer for you and your friends. Obviously the possibilities are infinite. I'm somewhat jealous of you being in this position. The sense of discovery is strong and intensely rewarding when you get it right :)

Ok, I can't believe I made a forum account just to promote the server because it deserves more love. First of all skeeter is a swell guy and a superb and very dedicative admin who keeps a fairly liberal policy concerning all sorts of things as long as you play legit. I honestly don't know how me manages to put that amount of time to provide us a top-notch DayZ experience, ninja-scripting in the background to get rid off most of the problems DayZ suffers from e.g. as in duping tents. We got a good mixture of carebears and bandits (and wannabe bandits :P ) some small groups, lots of rivalry etc. The vehicle count is slightly higher than the vanilla DayZ has but certiainly not overdoing it as in 1k+ vehicles madness, 50 helicopters guaranteed crap, no need to worry about that, helicopters are still much sighed-for (if you don't ninja them fast enough :D ). I am from Europe and rarely ever suffer any yellow/red chain connection issues so give it a try if you were concerned about that. And don't forget to check out the forums and make an account to discuss various things and get the latest updates (and Its collection of hilarious .gifs and .jpgs).

IRL Information Name:Johan Age:17 Location: London Timezone: GMT Do you meet ALL the requirements? If not, which ones are you missing and why?: Yes i meet all of the requirements. Game Information IGN: jhoans Steam ID (if applicable): jhoan160 Desired group role (Medic, sniper, spotter, etc): Sniper, Assault. Why you would like to join? What interested you about us? (min. 4 sentences): I've been playing Day Z for a while now. It has come to me that every popular server with decent admins and anti cheat systems is full with bandits just waiting on the main road outside a town ready for you to drive by so they can blow your head off. This server has looks like it has genuine people and i like the idea of a no fire zone which will be good for socialising and trading making the game much more intresting. What skills / perks can you offer to [GMS]?: I have a good shot, can drive all vehicles jets, helis ect and i like to be social.

I'll honestly wouldn't mind waiting 2-3 months longer for SA at this point. DayZ Origins is keeping me happy at the moment, and the Steam Summer Sale is right round the corner, hopefully next week as that is my week off work.. Goodbye wallet. DayZ SA and Next-gen all coming out around the same period will silence me for another three years. Don't get me wrong, I'm going to love the SA, I'm sure of it.. But the I think the alpha gameplay lowered the hype a little, I think too many people we're expecting the finished product. I'd be willing to wait until October if thats how long it took to add the new vehicles in as well. If anyone is bored of waiting, try ArmA 3, add some mods to ArmA 2 like the ACE mod, or JSRS and Blastcore, or maybe try some new DayZ maps. And as I said Steam sale is about to drop, I think there is plenty to keep us occupied.

Short of recent changes, I like Chris' list. Hope SA fixes 1, and I hope vehicles and movement are like Arma 3. Tired of losing tires to tiny pebbles and becoming completely immobile. Movement seems smoother to an extent in Arma 3, don't spend as much time in buildings in Arma 3 though, so not certain.

The Zymotic Clan has opened a new day z origins server. :D Server: The Zymotic Clan has opened a new day z origins server. :D Server: 216.245.221.50:3802 You can copy the address to your favorites by copying the address/port above and paste it into your favorites.

Many additions in Origins do go hand in hand with what many people want for an endgame though. Basebuilding, additional content (Sector B and AI with guns that hunt people), many vehicles, ability to choose where you spawn. This is what the typical group wants to do. Get a base going, hoard shit, drive around, in addition to the sandbox, make your own fun type of content, raid towns, kill people/bandits, etc that is at the core of the game. Base building and the concept of AI military survivors that hunt you is something that the SA might pick up on. Bathtub cars named "Batmobile", maybe not. :D

I for one am happy loot will be based on population. One of the main points in SA for me, is that hopefully I won't see everyone decked out in nightvision, thermal and sniper rifles. If you do get something like that, it should be so rare you will think twice, three times, fuck, you'll think ten times, and then you'll leave the sniper rifle in your base for fear of losing it. :D That is when there is base building. Which is another huge point for me in SA. I'm sure I'll enjoy the game at the start, but until it has proper base building and vehicles, I wouldn't be able to play it for any longer amount of time.

I have opened a new 50 slot Realism DayZ server running on a 1gbit connection, my goal is to recreate a server like it all started, 25 vehicles, Veteran, No crosshair, Forced First Person, running on a private and dedicated hive. Lots of admin tools imployed for anti-hacks and an active staff to keep the server alive and upto date... Join now as the server was freshly created on July 7th 2012.. If you which to prove your skills and looking for some oldschool fun.. drop by my Realism DayZ server at 50.97.49.79 Port: 3000 See you on the server.

I have been thinking for a while about this, and i think it is a good thing that the AS50 and m107 have been removed as they were pretty ridiculously overpowered (especially the as50). But i think there should be an option for disabling vehicles for players that have been alive/lucky enough to find such a powerful weapon. So my suggestion is to add a BOLT ACTION 12.7x99mm rifle. As the semi auto ones make it too easy to spray close quarters. But my main balance suggestion is about ammo. I don't know how hard this would be too incorporate but what if you found only single bullets and not magazines? Also they would be rare as hell, probably only found at crash sites. now i don't know if a single bullet can be loaded into such a rifle but if not, you would also have to find empty magazines that would also be very rare, but you could only combine a single bullet with an empty magazine. I think if bullets were so precious and rare, people that found this gun and manage to collect some ammo would really have to think hard on what they are going to shoot, instead of having 10-20 shots they might have one or two, so they are not going to be wasting on nonthreatening survivors, but on something much more important. Also carrying ammo for it would be a pain as each shot takes one slot of your inventory, so i think it would be a pretty balanced but very powerful piece of equipment for anyone lucky enough to find one. Before writing this thread i was going to suggest the L115a3, seen as it is already in the game, but after testing it on the shooting range i found it to be quite weak against the vehicles. So my suggestion is to base the ammo off the as50 12.7x99mm nato rounds.

There's that word again. Realism. In a world where zombies exist. Where weapons, food, drink, medicine, ammunition, vehicles and junk loot literally shits out into the world on regular intervals. Where a person dies, and is teleported through the means of magic to the coastline. Where you can fall through floors, break your legs on opening doors, bleed and go unconscious from dropping 3 feet off of a high kerb. Realism is not a word suited for this game. Authenticity is, but realism most certainly is not.
