TomHunt 1 Posted May 1, 2015 Hello, There is a new mod out for Arma 2 called 'DayzDecay'. It's a 1st person/3rd person, hardcore zombie survival mod. The mod contains custom building interior, new weapons, new backpacks, dynamic helicopter crashes and more. Please don't get the idea of this being a remake of the mod 'Dayzero'. The developers have tried their hardest, to make the mod enjoyable and not the same a 'Dayzero' Give it a try here: http://www.moddb.com/downloads/dayzdecay The main Forum here: http://dayzdecay.get-forums.com/ If you look at the server and see it has low population, please go on it as the only way for the mod to succeed, is if we get regular players coming back to play the mod 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
creature 1189 Posted May 1, 2015 I didn't see anything new listed in the decription of the mod from the first link. Pass. You're going to need to provide a LOT more info to get people interested imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomHunt 1 Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) Creature, i will not take any criticism, until you play the mod. If you're prepared to criticise something you haven't tried, you need you need to sort your act out. The lack of information is not there for is there for a reason. It's for people to have a surprise when they enter the server. Edited May 1, 2015 by TomHunt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The lack of information is not there for is there for a reason. It's for people to have a surprise when they enter the server. Hmm.. No one said you have to take it. You still got it though didn't you? Sorry, with the sheer number of disapointment with other mods of the mod claiming to be "hardcore survival" that were easier to access with a large number of servers available to play on, maybe you can see why I or anyone else might be skeptical. Even they listed things that made their mod "unique". There simply isn't enough info given to warrant any further curiosity on my part. I clicked the link, read the description and went "meh..". I'm willing to bet, most people will do the same. People need a reason to download a new mod (that's not available on steam or dayzlauncher btw) and that description just isn't going to pull people in. Simple. I'm not trying to kill your mod or anything. I'm just stating fact s that could ultimately help you out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steak and Potatoes 13480 Posted May 1, 2015 How many features if any from this mod are from other mods, if so are others credited? Did you use Oxygen and make all new skins? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vampiricmaniac@hotmail.co.uk 19 Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) I played for about 1-2 hours and didn't really find anything new or unique that made it hardcore.. I noticed quite a few things that already exist from other mods, and overal wouldn't say this was too different. Why is there 3rd person if its meant to be hardcore? At times zombies didn't even notice me up close, although I did like the (apparent?) feature where zombies would suddenly appear out of nowhere if you fired a shot. Roaming zombies were nice. Heli crash sites seemed in different locations, less loot spawn and more Zeds. The map changes, in terms of colours, street lights, lighting etc were nice - but again not something we've never seen before. I didn't find any map edits, such as in new buildings or locations - but that isn't a bad thing as such. Will give it a bit more of a chance, such as getting to NEAF and NWAF to see what they're like :) Edited May 5, 2015 by Crazymaniac Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lilcrooky 3 Posted May 30, 2015 Server IP provided in the DayzDecay forum/twitter links, Just leads to "EU1-TRUE_VANILLA_SERVER" on the multiplayer {remote, insert IP} attempt to join it just brings up that the server rejects connect due to every single DayZDecay Addon file .pbo, the server is titled "vanilla" and your modpack install + IP provided to join to play DayZDecay, then rejects every dayzdecay pbo file in your mod download. GG. I tried for bloody hours to try sort it and get on the server to give it a fair trial, but your download or Ip or both fail to reach a connection to try DayZDecay. such sad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
