DayZ Zombie Mod for Arma 2 (v2)

simon360

So 1.7.7 of the mod is supposed to be released today, but they ran into trouble with the steam version of the mod as the person who does all the steam stuff is at E3 with Matt and Rocket and the rest of the Bohemia crew. Sadly we won't see this for the rest of the week http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/103845-177-rolling-changelog/

Exactly what I thought :pac: They should just leave them out :P

The new stashes look pretty sweet. Easier to hide than a tent anyway.

Holy **** this new patch is tough, loot is really rare & zombies don't loose agro easily. They also hit harder

Genghiz Cohen

Great. What was the average life expectancy yesterday?

Yeah, the max mags a weapon can spawn with is 2, which is actually a small chance. Dmr mags and sniper mags are supposed to have cut down spawns so there's a small amount of them. It's going to be tough but fun though. The only thing which they scrapped from the patch was the attachment and crafting system which looked deadly.

How is 1.7.7 to play?

Squaredude

The zombies knocking you to the ground every 10 seconds is quite annoying

Just played for 40mins before admins pulled server cause of a bug, but players dropping like flys after a zombie hit and infection made them bleed out, could get very annoying

I've been playing 1.7.7 for a few hours. Zombies are finally back to being dangerous. Food is back to being hard to find and ammo is much harder to find. Spent fifteen minutes with eyes on electro watching players trying to run around and get loot to be chased by all of the zombies in the area.

Feels like a survival game with other players now as opposed to a PvP game with zombies.

F*ck Yeah ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=7DhZIe6-9v4

Looks great aesthetically but still needs work. Animations look funky, sliding around on the floor(looks like lag), zombie attack distance is terrible, path finding is worse I would say, they still dart around.

Regardless I'm going to buy it day one.

Yeah things I saw were the zombies actually hitting you without doing the animation, can see the Mike Tyson zombie tackles to the ground getting annoying. But other than that it looks good, the new buildings look good, new look of the game looks good and new survival items look good. I will be buying it once it's available too.

Laviski

hopefully server stuff will be stable from to go more importantly

FlyingIrishMan

Zombies still need a lot of work by the looks of that, though it definitely seems less clunky.

Look at the amount of roads up north now:

You can run around in your jocks. Epic.

Edit: Notice how he said there won't be any vehicles because "we want to totally re do them" ie they haven't touched vehicles yet so it'll be a long time for we see any in game.

No Rocket recently tweeted a picture of vehicles initially with a pretty funny bug but he said we've fixed it, so looking like they were working on them.

Yeah I think that there should be Walking Dead like hordes of zombies, that would be pretty cool.

I mean this guy

simon360

Ohhhhh okay haha yeah I was sad when he said he removed it

Duggy747

That would be horrifying to see coming up the road towards you.

"Oh sweet jesus, abort!! ABORT!!"

Vanilla Sounds still suck. Really needs something like JSRS.

Other than that, cant wait.
