I don't see any point in waiting if you have the games ready to go, and your current system can run it.

Cheers been holding off because of my exams, I don't think my laptop would run it that great(hence buying the new one). Is it intensive on the machine?I don't have either of the games either but that wouldn be an issue

After 40 pages I think that we can justify a Dayz Tip/Tricks/Hints/How-to thread rather than just posting everything in here.

Ran into the church in Cherno to shoot the one zombie chasing me, 2 minutes later litteraly 20 or more ran by the door. :eek:

Killed as many as I could, ran to the hospital where I met 2 guys upstairs who helped me. We started picking off the enormous horde, easily more than 20, coming in the doors when suddenly a bandit came down from the roof and killed the 2 guys.

I killed the bandit but now I was left with 3 corpses the ever increasing army of the undead.

It was hopeless, even with all the dead guy's weapons and ammo and I had no way out.

So many had gathered that they started glitching and began coming through the walls on the 2nd floor. Bastards eventually got me.

I concur for this.

The same questions are asked about 10 times a day, when this thread already contains all the answers.

I'd just like this thread to contain peoples adventures like above by Duggy747 as well as server info i.e. who is in what server and meet up plans.

****!
I bought Arma2 on direct2drive ages ago, but since they were bought out by gamefly its impossible to download the game files! I have the cd-key.

Is there a way to upgrade the free version by entering a cd-key?

Server info would be handy alright, i am going to be more willing to sacrifice myself to save a fellow boardsie than a random-er !

EDIT : No fun at night for a N00b

US servers are the only servers that work for me

but for those looking for ppl to work with, on steam join the group Boards Dayz.

its best when you have more than 1 person looking for a server that works.

Anyone still playing at this hour feel free to jump into US 12

Eggy Baby!

Holy crap I've been waiting for an excuse to get back into ArmA2!

Had great fun with the zombie mod (it was only singleplayer) before but online will be even better...

Can't seem to get this working on my laptop at all

Just want to repost this from earlier in the thread. I forget who posted it as i bookmarked it a few days ago but big thank you to whomever it was.

http://www.worrom.com/

That link has an auto-installer for dayz mod. Just follow the instructions on the page and enjoy. It's basically just download that installer, run it and then play dayz. Simples!

If you have exams it's probably best to hold off until they are finished.

I'm in the middle of exams myself, and only installed it on Saturday. Big mistake.

I was actually going to post to consider perhaps a private forum (on the hosted forums on boards) for this? It's clear the mod is getting alot of popularity and will continue to do so. The game is only in it's alpha stages and I know there will be plenty of threads in the times ahead.

I know you have to be on the same server as a person sleeping to see what in their bag, but does the same apply to a tent or is that persistant across all servers?

I think there are a few items such as wire-fences and sangbags that are persistant though I'm sure if same applies for tents?

Sweet cheers goodbye reality!

I have ArmA 2 vanilla...if I buy arrowhead, will I be able to run CO?

Sarky

You should be, just install the mod, and maybe the beta patch, and you should be good to go.

Eggy Baby!

PLUS is there anywhere I can buy it online except for off Steam? (I don't like running steam in the background while I play games) Play.com doesn't seem to have any atm

It would be funny if DayZ boardsies had an night time camping challenge after days of playing the game for hours, in dark servers, with little sleep!

Imagine how freaky that would be, out in the sticks in Wicklow or somewhere, it's pitch dark, the whole group is seperated,

and the only source of light you can use are glowsticks!

Get people in the Zombie Survival forum on board, and make it more intense!

Get an FM transmitter, and have some small radios scattered around the place, with zombie sounds playing on a certain frequency!

You'd go insane!

You can also just buy Arrowhead and use the free Arma2 with lower res textures.

Did that when I was in school, in our transition year they did an all night cross country treck across the wicklow mountains, Exhausting but exilerating stuff, especially when you cross over the peak near the radio towers and see dublin in the early predawn light.
