Is it still a glorified deathmatch with some zombies for effect?

From what I've seen , yes. Its either all out deathmatch or else you get care bear servers with no pvp. They're even worse imo. You get gear together relatively easy and then there's nothing to do after that. You need a good balance of pvp and pve , but its hard to find.

No it isn't, get a few friends together and play as a group.

Haven't played in a while as waiting on the standalone, but from my experience and from what I gathered , he was asking about lone wolfing it, most servers I've come across are shoot first. Have personally never had the experience of impromptu groups forming to help each other out, and any groups I've come across while lonewolfing, either murdered me or tried to murder and loot me.
I agree its a different game played with friends but I don't think thats what the question was about.It was about has the attitude of people changed, and in my experience it hasn't , its only gotten worse.Its definitely far from the utopian place where rendom strangers group together to help each other.

well i'm the mindset if you have a gun your a threat. i have let many ppl go that did not look to have a weapon and i have teamed up with randomers although its rare. Yes in the begining it happened alot (teaming up) but its a valid point if your billynomates you do have a disadvantage.

MadYaker · 05-07-2013 04:10PM

Im not talking about randomers you meet on a server I'm talking about people you regularily play games with communicating on teamspeak and working together.

Totally agree on that.I found it fun to be lone wolfing at times because it adds an extra element of being ****ed.You loose too much blood and you can't rely on a mate with a blood pack to save you. Like most multiplayer games, its more fun in a group and your chances of survival are away higher than playing on your own.

When cannibilism comes in, then I'll play lone wolf again.

''I ate his liver with some beanz and mountain dew..''

Lone wolfing can be done. Can be unreal craic. My take on lone wolfing:

Anyone here played Epoch yet?

7 hour session tonight and I swear every minute something was going on. Killed about 12 people. Absolutely unreal. Defo recommend it to anyone that loves abit of action. If you prefer the exploring side of it then stay away :P

Thought I'd upload my experience on Epoch. Plenty of footage to come, gets quite good soon enough.

Decided to go with just the action.

Laviski · 06-07-2013 09:45PM

currently setting up dayz epoch sahrani. gonna turn off the cherno one as not many has used but i see a niche in doing a sahrani epoch as no one has a server for it yet. it will be on gaellords.com:2310

i will let you know when its fully working.

ktulu123 · 07-07-2013 06:32AM

Aye, I'd heard as much. I did play with a friend for about a week but we mostly kept to the inland, forested areas. Which also meant fewer people and oddly enough, fewer zombies.
It was also a pain connecting to servers with the timeouts and general long wait in actually connecting.

And yes, from what I've read the game mechanics just don't lend themselves towards cooperation as there's no real 'end-game' for players to engage in. Or perhaps lone-wolfing it just needs to be more of a threat, more from the environment than other players...

Nice video's Ktulu, I remember when you used to play on the boards server over a year ago :P

Anyways, 2nd part to the Jackal.

Its like Breaking Point but with more integrity.

ktulu123 · 11-07-2013 02:19PM

Yeah seems great so far, loads of new weapons & skins. New buildings & camps put into the map. Different vehicles. Remove parts from vehicles. Take clothes off dead players. Our server also has DOGS, all the lads are excited about it haha.

synesthesia · 11-07-2013 02:27PM

Jaysus guys, that sounds pretty awesome. I'm in

I'd be interested to hear how yis get on. I've been playing regularly for over a year now with the two guys who created the mod (Scrumbe & Ullechamp). There has been some issues lately with Overwatch servers gettnig DDOS'd...funnily enough it's been since it took over from Breaking Point *cough cough*

It's only in Alpha and there are some great ideas they have for it which they hope to implement over the coming weeks/months.

Enjoy! - check out the bridge at Kamenka

It's the small touches I like!
