Interview with one of the the lead devs. He says "it'll hopefully be out this year" when asked what quarter it'll be released.

Watched that myself, didnt sound promising at all

Probably fast zombies (or a mix of both), it would be far to easy to outrun slow zombies in the game unless there were parameters in the game to make slow zombies a threat (i.e stamina bar where you cannot run for a long period). The zombies wouldn't be much of a threat (as much as they already aren't) otherwise

Put 100s of them in

exactly and make them varying speed and strength...

That would be sweet. Feral zombies in the wilds, slow ones in urban centres. Such a rich environment for a game.

Are ya mad? Its bad enough as it is with every built up area being infested with them. Sure if you're part of a group and you all have SD weapons then its grand. But having the wilds infested with them too would be too much. Spawn in, oh f*ck! zomebies have spotted me, start running! No thanks.

Could balance it by making dozens in towns but only about 1 per few miles as fearl zombies.

how about large hoards roaming the countryside, just like in the walking dead, they can be influenced by noises by aircraft etc...

Started this game a few days ago, and bloody loving it!!

Last night people were saying in side chat that there was a bandit on the roof of the hospital in elektro and for some reason I made it my mission to kill him! So I go up the ladder to the roof and immediately go prone, and see 2 dead bodies..

I turn around and see a guy on a small higher up roof aiming away from me, I take him out with a headshot I go up the ladder to that roof but there's another guy prone aiming at me so I immediately go back down halfway on the ladder.. I could see from the 3rd person view that he was aiming at the top waiting for me.

Suspense was killing me, but a good 10 minutes later he made a fatal mistake and turned around, so I made it to the roof and killed him before he had a chance to shoot me

That was all well and good, until somebody else came up and killed me while I was looting the bodies

Fúckin great game, only game that ever had me genuinely frightened!

Is it me or is Rocket kind of clueless about his own game? Really showing some clueless things in the recent devblog.

Yeah I agree they should get maybe a more experienced youtuber to film and maybe lead the questions while in game, but even Rocket kind of twist around questions when hes asked them and doesn't really answer them.

I'm surprised it took them this long to be honest. The code is the exact same as Arma 2.

I finally got this on Friday. Having lots of fun, but I find it a bit irritating that people will consistently shoot on sight, even when you're an unarmed fresh spawn with no loot that they could possibly need.

Anyone know any servers where people are less inclined to do that?

there are none , its sink or swim in this game buddy :pac::D
best to try and get in a group on teamspeak and stick together , because unless you are experienced in this game going it alone is certain death .

just assume you are always being watched and move appropriately

Just go for low populated servers. The higher the number of people on the server , the more likely you'll get a bullet in the brain for your beans.
Found Dayz 2017 to generally not be as murderific.Think there's a fairly drastic shortage of weapons in it and its alot harder to scavenge sh1t, so people aren't too keen to get into fights.
Failing that just look for servers that have (no pvp) in the title, although I usually go on those servers for cheap kills....

MadYaker

There are servers with no PvP?? Whats the point of that? Awesome i found an as50, lets go kill some..... cows from 1500m away.

best advice, steer clear of cherno and electro, as you will find people who want to get some target practice will stalk these places,

I have found 2 servers where things are good, DE888 is usually well populated with decent mods who will pick you up and drop you of if they are not hunting someone, usually in a heli or car if they are around...

Search for open fire, can't remember the name but simon360 posted about it 2 pages ago, its a decent server, they have military camps built n the north which have loads of good weapons etc...

But remember the point of the game is not clear so pvp is always going to happen, if you have something i want i will kill you for it, likewise if you come into my territory and i hear a shot, i will take you down...

the best gear is found up north, when i started out i had my ipad with a map next to me, it makes finding town etc far easier, the best loot is up north in stary/novy sober and at all the airports or military bases...

Yeah, came across a few where it was PvE only and get kicked if you kill anyone. Fairly boring going to Cherno and being able to stroll around with out a care in the world.Worst thing about most of them is,from my experience, that you spawn with good weapons , a map and everything else you need to survive, so even the fun of scavenging for decent supplies is taken out of the game. It can be a pain in the arse when you get robbed and killed after gathering some gear together, but with out the threat of it happening it just turns into minecraft with out the griefing.

Yeah stay away from elektro and cherno. Head to one of the smaller towns that has a supemarket, like zelenogorsk or polana. There you should be able to get food, water, a good backpack and maybe a rifle if you check some barns, and you are less likely to get shot than in elektro or cherno. From there just head north. Stary Sobor and the NWAF generally have good military loot but they are even more dangerous than elektro or cherno because bandits up north tend to have a lot better gear so be careful. Keep your eyes peeled for crashed choppers.

After playing so much wasteland it really annoys me that i can't increase the view distance in dayz.

Open fire generally has people friendly down south, but as soon as you're up north everybody will kill you!

simon360

Need backup on Open fire, some lads I was friendly with for the past few days betrayed me, theres a dmr and a few other guns in it if you're interested! Lonewolf and all the CORE clan!
EDIT: Just blew up their base and kamikazed an osprey into their last chopper, don't need no more help.

Anyone got an ould arma3 lite key boss? I need to see how this performs on my creaky old rig so I can justify buying the alpha.
