Mercurial Posted June 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Ya it's a pain in the ass once you got a horde behind you, but I've gotten away a couple of times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixrocket Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 I just set Arma 2 and Day Z up, and it's one hell of a rush. I found a M1014 and a ton of AK/Stanag ammo along with 50 shells for the shotty, ventured through 3 villages, and found quite a bit of loot. Sadly, it would seem that canteens arent spawning, and neither is food, so I died of dehydration. 3 villages, a city, and myriad amounts of ammo, but no water. Why.

Mal Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 I was whacking the infected with my hatchet and I got plenty of food and water off them. Its enough to almost start a mini game out of. I think its a good training exercise to judge when to strike an infected because there is a sweet spot where you can kill them and you don't get hurt. Hell, one time I actually snuck up on one. Then again the how well they detect you seems to vary at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixrocket Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 We should choose a server and have a big old group playtime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 I made a thread. I don't suppose we got a mumble or a TS3 server do we? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixrocket Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Mal, Luft, and I did a run last night. We encountered bandits that were quite well armed. I was the only survivor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixrocket Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 I've managed to find a lot of food/water and an 1866. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixrocket Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Alright, I can equip most of you when we play again. I finished the raid on the hospital, got 4 blood packs, a morphine, 4 bandages, ammo, food, a canteen, two matches, a watch, and a 870 Combat Shotgun with Flashlight attached. So when we play this again, I say we head back into the hospital zone, grab the lower level guns for you guys and food/water, and we'll divy up the take from my ealier hospital raid. Sound like a plan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomatte127 Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 I'm currently holed up out in the wilderness near Berezino. I've got some decent supplies, a bigger backpack and a good pistol. I had an assault rifle but it ran out of ammo so I ditched it for a fire axe. (I've had better luck keeping zombies away with the dang axe anyway) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luftwaffles Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Tomatte, feel free to hop on the mumble server if you'd like. It seems to be where Sixrocket, myself, and MaliciousH have been meeting, and I know a few others have access to it as well. Info is in this if you're curious. As for myself, I should be able to play tonight if I don't get home too late. I shall check the mumble when I get back, I guess and we can see if we can get a group together from there.

tomatte127 Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 I actually can't even connect to the mumble. It keeps telling me that the remote host closed the connection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luftwaffles Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Hrm. That shouldn't be happening. This is what your configuration screen should look like, if you're still having trouble. Probably the biggest mistake most people make is entering the address into the "label" field, so make sure you're not doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixrocket Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 So: Mal and I raided Berezino, again, and now we have AK-74, three magazines 870, many shells Compass, map, Binoculars, matches, hunting knives, axe, other things of that sort, and quite a few other things. We also have a few water bottles, alice packs, and quite a bit of goodies for you Luft, including a Makarov and 4 mags. It seems that the north is a veritable goldmine for equipment.

Eleven Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 So I started playing this. I'm... not sure what to do... I saw some buildings, some warehouses, and went over there, there was nothing in it. So I went outside and some zombies started walking towards me... or in my general direction. I backed away and shot one of them. I got some bandages I think from the dead zombie. I went into another area... this had a hanger or two in it... then I think my food is gone, my cans of beans. I guess I dropped them(?) when I was looting the zombie? I'm not sure how to work the inventory yet. In this place... I found an AK-74... and a shotgun I think . I think I dropped the AK when I picked up the shotgun, 'cause it's gone from my pack too... I talked to someone over chat. It was his first time too. He wanted to see them zombies. I told him I just saw a bunch of them (this was back when I was in that first area with nothing in it). That was the last I heard of him. I keep getting a "fall back" radio message on the chat? I don't think it's me... But I don't see anybody else... I disconnected over near the beach, since I found myself there again. Through wading through the menus, I think I got into another server (I wanted to disconnect and stop playing). So I spawned at the water again... but my shotgun is still with me... and still missing my cans of beans. I'm lost... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're all relatively experienced in the game, as in knowing the controls and the map, but we certainly have trouble if we run into a group of bandits, even as a group. Got a mic?

Mal Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 (edited) Inventory management is a pain and pretty unfriendly to newbies. Even players who has been playing for a week or two might not know it all. I personally didn't know how to access my pack until a week or two later and I didn't know how to get new packs for a week after. Its pretty frustratingly unintuitive but once you get it down, its pretty second nature. Its just the bugs that gets you like the disappearing-weapon-placed-in my-pack-because-the-fucking-ammo-took-up-all-the-space bug. Get to know how to manage your inventory. Look up the guilds on Reddit, the Day Z forums or on Youtube. It'll save you tons of grief. Not getting attached to your gear won't save you from getting pissed off about these inventory bugs. --- We should totally be a gang robbing people for Mountain Dew or something. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=HwF1Q6KbSV8#t=744s Edited July 6, 2012 by MaliciousH 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Will try to look for a mic. I'm sure I had one before... Maybe I can use my PS3 headset. I'll try to figure out my inventory first though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomatte127 Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Finally (!) got the mumble working. Apparently the mumble website installed the wrong version of the software for me. @_@ Anyway, I was idling in it all last night while I played with some friends of mine. We managed to find a bandit camp (about 8 tents) and raided it while we all looked around in paranoid fear that the bandits were waiting for us to finish just so they could shoot us for stealing from them. They didn't though! We made out like bandits (hah!) and I got a silenced PP-19 and tons of ammo for my G17. Ah, when things go right in this game, they go RIGHT.

sixrocket Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Dude, you found a BISON? That's super rare, and ammo is also really scarce. Anyway, Mal and I were hanging out near Berezino when we logged out. Want to play, Tomatte? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomatte127 Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 We can play some. Some friends and I use Steam chat to do voice communication so I'd have to get them to hop on the mumble as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielpholt Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 (edited) http://dayzdev.tumbl...f-the-beginning That’s right, this is actually happening - DayZ will be developed as a standalone game, with me as project lead, by Bohemia Interactive. This is the fairy-tale outcome for a mod that many would have said impossible four months ago. Development and updates of the mod will continue in parallel with the development of the game, so anyone who is playing the mod now will be able to continue to do so. The project will follow the Minecraft development model; fast iterations with the community alpha available for a heavily discounted price. I realize people will have many, many questions - but we wanted to let everyone know the announcement now. Over the coming weeks, these questions will be answered. The game will have it’s own site, www.dayzgame.com and the mod will continue at it’s present link. Thoughts?
