Excanto 336 Posted June 3, 2015 Its getting worse cant survive for more than 30 sec now.I hate to say try southcentral, but I would feel bad not mentioning that it seems some servers are screwed up. I was on southwest and I was cold and starving before the zombies even got started eating. I switched to southcentral and food, ammo, fun, rifle, ammo, backpack, food..food, gunfight. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mjf6866 22 Posted June 3, 2015 My dad was from Washington, PA, they say it down there too. Please note I never did say you said it. BTW Pittsburgh, home of the best Zombie and one of the hottest Vampire movies ever! i live in Pittsburgh and got to shake Tom Savini's hand, brush shoulders with Ken Foree in Monroeville Mall and said hello to Mr George Romero himself! These guys are all normal people in Pittsburgh :) Greg Nicotero (head makeup dude on The Walking Dead) is also from Pittsburgh! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BleedoutBill 1636 Posted June 3, 2015 Seeing as how the servers are down and there's not much else to talk about ... My pop's folks come from Johnstown, PA and they definitely talk funny! Youinz was their preferred pronunciation. It sounds strange, because it's not something that you hear every day (unless you live there). In my travels, I've heard quite a bit of regional strangeness. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Excanto 336 Posted June 3, 2015 So, ya darn. 2 UK servers and an Aus server popping up and down and no go on the join cause bad version. Sigh. It was odd last night, I started in a weird place I've never started before. I'm usually on the coast. This time I was on a sloping hillside with a small scattered but fairly robust town with some larger buildings up the hill and I was just out in the open and had zombies in visual range. I ran around and did the best I could then headed west and I ran along a stream for ages and passed a couple really nice looking ponds and just when I was sure I was totally lost, I saw the fence and guard towers of NW Airfield. I've never come in from due east before. I must have run almost the whole map from east to the NW Airfield and didn't see a thing except a couple stray houses and 1 really small town. I popped one zombie with my svd near one of the downed helicopters and then braced for a horde of zombies to attack and the rest were just milling around like bored zombies. Ah well.

FlimFlamm 509 Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) Speaking of talking funny, Does anyone else almost constantly use "accents" when speaking with other players for the first time? When I fear people for their equipment I will actually try and mirror their accent. As a telephone salesman in my past I've mastered that trick. Works especially well on texans. Usually I greet people in a british accent (I'm canadian, but with no recognizable accent beyond "from north america"). I don;t know why I greet them in a british accent, It just seems friendlier, as if brits are more civil or something :) Other times when I just want to have some fun with people I'll use east or west indian accents, french, german, russian, australian, christopher walken, and my personal favorite, gollum (also smeagol). I've been told that my gollum accent is flawless, so if you ever see a survivor squatting and crawling and ranting about the precious or the master of the precious, it's probably me! :) Also, I tend to play my guitar and sing into my microphone while cooking food stuffs, so that would be another giveaway that you have encountered a wild flimflam!

FlimFlamm 509 Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) I am not that talkative in game, I had some one type to me he didn't trust me BECAUSE of my accent. I pointed out that he was the one wearing a cowboy hat and went my own way. Sounds like an ignorant jerk wad to me! Good riddance to bad rubbish right? Some people are quite xenophobic about people with accents or foreigners. It's quite prejudiced if you ask me. I personally adore unique accents, and I have a thing for southern American accents (perhaps even more friendly and inviting than the supposed civility of the brits :) ). Something about duplicating them, facsimile in general just titillates me endlessly. I love the art of producing the likeness of something. Whether it's music, art, accents, or even zombie makeup, or mockery as some ignorantly call it, is a great form of flattery! When you think about it, DayZ is a simulator, fantastical yes, but a simulator none the less. It tries to create a facsimilie of 'life'. video games, and also the roleplay within them, can be high art! On the subject of prejudice, often times when I do my east Indian accent I get subjected to genuine racism and discrimination. It is at the same time a unique and interesting experience for me, and a disgusting one. If their prejudice is light then I will carry on with the accent and try to school them, but sometimes for whatever reason people get really hardcore racist on me, in which case I revert to a western accent and do my best to shame them for being a bad person :) Edited June 3, 2015 by FlimFlamm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

☣BioHaze☣ 7337 Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) Does anyone know what's going on with the servers by any chance? They are fuxored. An update was pushed to client and a handful of servers but we get "bad version" when trying to connect. We buried that bit of info in a bunch of off topic shenanigans regarding regional accents. *My guess is we will see an update between 6 a.m. and 3 p.m. tomorrow eastern standard time, along with more news regarding plans for what may come to stable.

Beizs 186 Posted June 3, 2015 Damn, I was hoping to get on for an hour before leaving for college when I saw the tweet last night... Guess it's not happening. One thing I will point out, as it's the only thing I've been able to see about this EXP patch, due to the servers not working, is that all of the servers have an x next to the time. I believe that means that the time is accelerated, which implies, to me, that they want to test something in relation to day and night cycles... Maybe.

I actually really like how this song sounds, I'm trying to learn it right now but it's kind of difficult There are a few unique chords but I can almost play it well. If we ever meet I'll give it a shot for you :) Edited June 3, 2015 by FlimFlamm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
