DayZ Standalone

So....worth it yet for someone who's never played Day Z or should I wait until it's a bit more stable?

Worth it if you team up or pretend to team up and stab them in the back.

Lonesome players will suffer many deaths.

Not yet and probably won't be worth it for +6 months

I don't think the price will drop before full release so buy it when you have the money.

The current state of the game is a very slow paced build up to deathmatch.

The infected are a joke and I don't see them ever being able to make the infected a threat.

Brilliant way to put it, a slow paced build up to a death match.

It needs more substance. I do play the game alone so it's probably better in a group but it's still the same, get gear then go kill people, there is nothing else to do at the moment anyway.

I dunno if it is worth it.

I mean it's just an endless cycle, gear up, get killed and start over. Needs way more content.

I completely agree.

I loaded it up, started off at nightime on a server....for a player who hasn't played it before there is a bit of a learning curve. Anyways, after 20mins running around in the middle of nowhere at night..not seeing anyone etc...I joined a diff server

Spawned in a town during the day, seen a village, ran to said village...scouted lots of the houses...nothing inside. Doors seem awkward to open....items are annoying to pick up....it has to be so specific.
Anyways, same deal, lack of zombies, lack of items, lack of players, lack of story...

Oh, and when you get hit...the blood squirting out is ridiculous looking....and is that meant to be cold air ?...the white/grey stuff spraying out ?

I don't see what the end goal is besides Holstens point...Gear up, kill/be killed / start over.

What benefit is having a character who is 3 days old to you as opposed to a fresh character ?

As numerous people have said, you need to team up..my advice..join the gaellords ts server. Hop into a channel and introduce yourself and see where the lads are playing. As ultra retarded as Ktulu is, he's pretty sound and so are the rest of the lads. Better survival in a pack!

I know Ktulu and a lot of the other from playing BF3 with them.

However, I'm over in Korea...so there are slight ping and time difference issues

I agree.

Your a nobhead Ktulu

Thought I'd share a funny moment I experienced a few days back. Was a good laugh :P

You guys reckon this game will get any money off in the Steam sale?

No chance at all. It'll stay this price until Beta which will be at least 6 months away, and then it'll probably go up to about 35euro.

They need to sort out them loot spawns. Cant find anything but tins of spaghetti and hats, every house picked clean. No guns to defend yourself against guys kitted out with all military gear and assault rifles. Try and go to an army base to get some decent stuff and you get KOS.

*House 1*

Beanie hat and Aviator Sunglasses.

*House 2*

2 beanies and a hat that looks like a tea cosy on my head

*Barn out the back*

3 motorcycle helmets on the ground.


Would it be that hard to spawn a Mosin every now and then

bad sport #3 later tonight maybe

can't wait til proper combat logging measures are in the game.

Not so much a combat logger but a bad sport all the same :pac:

Where are good spots to find ammo and mags, that what I seem to be lacking most. Weapon attachments would be nice too

I find the hangers at the airfields to be fairly good for ammo and attachments.

Server hoppers are a serious pain at the moment. Few of us played on a night server last night, late on we where the only ones on the server. The number of single players joining and leaving after a few mins was serious, clearly farming loot by server hopping. We were at NW airfield and a guy spawned in and killed one of us. I hope this is the first issue Rocket addresses.

With loot not respawning, server hopping is the only way to get gear atm. If you're on a busy server you have no chance of getting decent gear otherwise and won't live very long. Rocket has plans to stop it by putting a delay on joining servers one after another. The more servers you join the longer you have to wait to join another one.

I hope either one of those is solved, you can't have one fixed without the other I think

No its not, just go north. Once you have a weapon and some ammo why would you keep respawning from server to server, there are only 2 main weapons in the game at the moment sure!

Just after giving in and buying it. Was going to wait for a month or two until it went on Sale or something. Hopefully I won't be too disappointed

I had some character..spawned in the middle of nowhere...ran for miles...nothing to be found...no houses etc
No way to kill myself. Ran into the sea...lay down in the sea, he doesn't die. Swam for miles out...he doesn't die
No buildings to jump off. No zombies to kill me. The 'Respawn' button doesn't work.
Deleted profiles in MyDocuments....still have the same character.
Switched server...still in the same spot.

It's annoying as hell, so stupid. Also....what are the point of doors, gates...if zombies can just pass through them as if they're not there ?
How hard a fix is that to implement , considering the time they've spent on the game, and the money they are making off it .. ?
I know it's 'Alpha'...but haven't they been at the game for well over a year now

Now sure how you haven't found a zombie at least to kill you, or a building to jump off... You must have went arse ways somewhere!
The game is extremely early Alpha. You can't really complain about things like that, in such an early stage of a game! Pretty sure they where worried about getting the basic parts running before looking at something minor like that. I'd imagine it'll be something that's looked at later in the games development. I don't think it's fair to complain about smaller things like that until it hits Beta...

The steam page literally tries to sway you away from purchasing because bugs such as these will occur.

But I don't base my buying on Steam Pages, or critical reviews from the likes of EuroGamer or IGN etc....because I don't trust their opinions and won't take the opinion of 1 person.

I usually buy games because of Boards.ie , and you lot....all loving this game made me buy it ! :P...so you're all to blame obviously !
