Whoever it was. Thanks for shooting me (Stryder) in the tents in Starry. It only took me HOURS and HOURS to get that far. I get the PVP in the South but seems people might have a little mercy considering how long it takes to get up North.

I told myself this was the last time I am running all the way up North and I really cant see myself going to that effort again.

This game seems to be a massive build up to a thoroughly disappointing moment when you lose everything.

I'm gonna give it a rest for a while, maybe a future patch will bring me back.

Yea, I've given up on playing properly and sneaking through forests and around buildings. I now just run everywhere... it makes doing it any other way pointless. Been playing on a random Norwegian server and ran from Kamarovo to Berezhino following the road along the coast, dodging gunfire and losing zombies. Whoever kills me though gets an inventory full of empty tin cans

I think I'll download this tonight, as I do have ARMA 2.

FYI you will need ARMA 2: Operation Arrowhead as well, actually you need Operation Arrowhead more so as you can use the ARMA 2 free demo + the Operation Arrowhead Expansion to play the mod

North of Devils Castle is a pretty classic place for clans to hide a camp, you could meet them on the way to or from a raid.
Other than that there shouldn't be too much going on.

Watch out for the tractor boyz, they'll give you a good threshing if they catch you in a furrow.

The Boards guys typically move around in small groups and the Anti-Boards guys were caught disconnecting so they went bye-bye.

There can be a pair of BMR guys who will give you a good fight and won't disconnect.

Anti Anti Boards are usually holed up in Fort Berez.

Darnit, here I was, hoping Devils castle would give me some action .. Only action i've had so far is from the zombies (bow chikka?) and I've been there a while.

Anyone on server right now, looking to have some fun?

If you're geared I'd head south and look for guys sniping newbies. Leave the corpses full of gear and there may be more people who will prove a challenge in a few days

Personally I think that is the attraction with DayZ, every other game is a massive build up to where you have everything. I'm horribly frustrated with it also, but It keeps drawing me back for an hour or two most days.

Agreed, no matter how many times I start again, everytime I run into Supermarket and I find an ALICE pack i'm like 'OMG YAY AN ALICEPACK' same for the rifles in military tents lol

Lol who's that in devils castle RIGHT NOW?

edit: nvm they dc'd

There needs to be a 60 second timer on logging out because people are really just taking the piss now :mad:

Agreed, but maybe more specific

Like, if you just have to wait 60 seconds to log out WHENEVER that'd suck.
But if they could do something like the logging out in for example Runescape (silly ex but first that came to mind) where you can't log out for 20-odd seconds after engaging in combat with either NPC or player.
That would be best i think

I reckon something like a 10-15 second timer, like in most mmo's. When you disconnect it counts down on screen, and you disconnect at the end. Giving you time to react and cancel it if something happens. If you quit before the end of the timer or alt-f4. You're character remains active for the remainder of the timer on the server. So if you are engaging someone and they alt-f4 you can still get them, so next time they log in, they spawn anew.

DC'rs are fooling themselves. Day-z is more fun you have to start again and the fragility of your character makes for some harrowing and heart-pounding action

I was doing reasonably well for a while there and had some nice gear and a few pvp encounters but was killed rather unceremoniously about 5 minutes after logging in yesterday (too much going on in TS). It sucked for a while but spawning a new character is liberating as you can take more chances again. After a few mad dashes into cherno and electro (dying twice) I respawned at Drakon and heard a chopper....and then the adventure began again

zero to hero to zero to hero and so on but I reckon I will tire of it soon enough if they dont bring in challenges or introduce new aspects to the game regularly

yea who killed MadYaker, we were planning on meeting up.

If ever I find the culprit . . .

Twitter reports that the game is to be developed at Bohemia as a stand alone project.
Rocket is the lead and a Minecraft style development is to be followed.
That means a heavily discounted Alpha price (~€12 for Minecraft IIRC). Then a steeper Beta price and full price on Gold.
Regular updates for the mod to continue as they are implemented into the retail version.
www.dayzgame.com website will become a sister to www.dayzmod.com

It would also be a great way to test their new game engine...any mention of them using the Arma 3 engine?

Is it 7am or pm in the server atm?
