Was playing breaking point yesterday, mad fire fight between 5-6 players near elektro powerplant and firestation. Took out one bandit from elektro hill, then got sniped...respawned, flanked my bambi self back around to my body took up my gear again and hunted down my killer, took him out...almost got sexually molested by the new blood monster in the game before taking out another bandit. Needless to say I needed a new pair of jocks afterwards. Such a great game!

Playing sahrani there a while ago, was in corazol army base ATC and seen a bandit and a ghillie guy entering the camp, seen the bandit coming back out and killed him and was shaking so much haha then I walk down the stairs and see the bush just looking at me haha day z never fails!

So I last played this game about 8-9 months back.

Enjoyed it for what it was. The initial few hours of discovery and fear were the best I've had in years of gaming.

So what has changed in the game since then? Any major gameplay improvements etc? What's the plan for the mod going forward?

There hasn't been any major improvements. Its basically the same as it was this time last year with a few new bells and whistles.
Standalone alpha should be out in the next month or two.

If you like the discovery aspect, there are a ton of new maps.

Just uploaded a new Origins episode.

Dead_Shot

what server is everyone playing on nowya dayz? lol

Damo 2k9

New origins update is out today, 1.7.5 We should definitely try get a boards stronghold going haha!

So I've tried to get playing this again. I don't bother messing with six updater or daycommander or any of that after seeing Steam have the mod as an addon. Great I'll let Steam handle everything. No joy. I try to join a server and it keeps saying "bad version, server rejected connection".

I've tried the option of selecting the normal version or the "beta version" when launching it from steam. No difference.

So how are people playing the mod these days and keeping up to date?

Your OA is out of date, DayZ Commander is handy for that just use that, update OA version and you can launch through steam, you should be good to go!

That worked, thanks!

I've only started playing in the last day, and although I enjoy some things, a lot of the game seems to be walking long distances to a town, where I get killed by zombies before I can pick up a weapon? Any tips lads!?

cherryghost

Get with a group or be more stealthy with movement.

Well to be honest sneaky sneak through towns isn't the way for me anymore. Main places you'd want to loot down south is Cherno, Elektro and Balota, have a look at http://www.dayzdb.com/map for lootable buildings and if they are worth looting or not. When you get zombies after you keep running, run through buildings where there is a entrance you go into and an entrance you can escape from as zombies walk indoors, take sharp turns around fences and try to run through bushes and trees in a zig zag pattern as zombies get stuck (zig zag like a maniac when you're getting shot at aswell).

EDIT: Look up "Loot Run" guides on youtube, plenty of information there! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D19K7GV0wr0
Also forgot to mention Zombies are ridiculously overpowered as of last weeks update, haven't really played since as of a annoying ragequit :pac:

ktulu123

The new Origins update has me & the lads interested in it again. Gonna plan & get a stronghold thing going, what servers are the best ones?
