DayZ Standalone

R0ot · 21-12-2013 1:11pm

Ran across a few lads last night on my adventures up to the wrecked ship and "Gur" or whatever it's called. Traded a tin opener and made a guys day and ran away from a group of 3 that couldn't shoot straight, must have made them use about 2-3 clips between them.

Glebee · 21-12-2013 1:12pm

Tempted to pick it up. Overall is it worth getting. Only really dipped in and out of Dayz before. Always found it hard to get into a group.

I'd say only if you really wanna try it out. It is in the very very early stages.

I had a look and could not find a post for actual servers, if there is one, please delete this thread and point me in the right direction.

Hope some of the Irish Community Can join with us in some DayZ standalone

We also have an DayZ Mod Epoch server

Install instructions for the DayZ Epoch mod here

Killing on sight is just a joke now. I've been done in about 10 times giving people the benefit of the doubt.

Spend two hours getting kitted up, meet someone, don't KOS and then boom "You are dead. Ugh!

Also I would love a hand on the Reddits with this one lads.

All you were missing was the cup of tea with that english fella, so funny. Middle of the apocalypse, sure stop for a chat.

The mod looks great, did Bohemia just not give a ****e, if thats what could be done with the engine graphically.

Running north of green mountain tonight I came across a fully kitted out guy running the complete opposite way to me, a couple of hundred meters to the right of me. In the past, I would have chanced talking but no. Hit the deck, hidden by a gully and he ran on.

Just as well, I had no ammo in my m4.

dazftw · 22-12-2013 7:20am

Started using Nvidia's shadowplay, first time I can actually record and play at the same time and enjoy it. Though I need to figure out some render settings to improve the quality.

This was the Irish guy I posted about, really bad sport. Though I should have said I was friendly but I was trying to make it more intense for him.

ktulu123 · 22-12-2013 11:11am

Shame! Has happened to us quite a few times now. Hopefully they implement a feature where you can't log if you are within a certain number of feet of another player

Kiith · 22-12-2013 12:29pm

Couldn't they just make it so your character stays ingame for 20 or so seconds after you log out? Works (for the most part) in Eve Online.

ktulu123 · 22-12-2013 12:51pm

I think they have something like that planned

THEY ARE NOT.... fists can be surprisingly effective. i was playing yesterday with two friends when we were ambushed at a barn by three guys, they killed 2 of us (INCLUDING ME) but one of my friends managed to go prone and kill two of them. he couldnt get a shot on the third guy who was prone as well. I respawned close by as did the other friend who died, we meet up close to where we died and while the remaining enemy was trying to get a shot on the third guy in our group, we beat the head off him using just our fists even though he had an m4a1.

Yeah, logged into another server and was fine.

ktulu123 · 22-12-2013 4:58pm

Will hopefully have a funny Christmas themed DayZ video soon. Bit more footage to get

Gummy Panda · 22-12-2013 4:59pm

Lads someone give me and idea how the character works?

Is the loot and gear saved to a particular server? E.g. I got a m4a on server 1 but if I log into server 2 I don't have it.

Should have your gear on all servers currently up as it is a public hive. For some servers I log in and I'm at the coast (usually non MPGS.com ones). I just stick to the MPGS ones usually, you can join all of them and go wild with your M4.

ktulu123 · 22-12-2013 5:05pm

I think some groups have tried to set up private servers. But not sure if they work any more. Stick to public & you will be grand

SherlockWatson · 22-12-2013 5:44pm

Added one or two of ye there on Steam, hope to be on DayZ later!

Taylor365 · 22-12-2013 6:25pm

Cheapest place to get this now lads? (No Russian)

Edit: Nevermind, everywhere seems to be the same price. What are the servers like now? Many about?

Did you have any trouble getting Shadowplay working? Myself and Ktulu tried to use it but it wouldn't work and kept crashing our games when we tabbed out.

dazftw · 22-12-2013 10:38pm

It didn't work on windows 7 for me but does on 8 so that could be the problem?

You can't tab out while recording or it turns itself off for me at least..

Had 2 more combat loggers today lol

dazftw · 23-12-2013 1:15am

As much as I hate the combat loggers, im enjoying making the videos

Fussgangerzone · 23-12-2013 1:25am

Tell you what, those handcuffs don't half go on quick!

Met some lads who were apparently ill-equipped and professed to be friendly. As soon as I turned my back to go looking for gear, one of them had me cuffed. Then his mate came in with a fire axe and brained me. It was pretty funny, in fairness.

The message in the bottom-left that warns you is pretty easy to miss.

ktulu123 · 23-12-2013 1:35am

Had great fun tonight making this Christmas video, but one of the best things was an encounter with a guy we had that didn't have a mic. So we decided to mess with him a bit. I started to force feed him some alcohol stuff (cause were mean arse holes :P) while doing it the guy started taking blood off me with a blood bag. Damn near killed me too as I had very little health anyway haha. He was killed in the process :P

BlitzKrieg · 23-12-2013 6:44am

held off playing for a bit due to other commitments, gave it a good go tonight though.

first play through went well, got some excellent loot, worked out a lot of the inventory quirks (taking bullets out of a packet before loading them into a rifle...clever.) and was feeling confident until I bugged out on a ladder and died

second play through not so well with the loot, was finding good stuff, but no bag to carry any of it so I was noting it all as I worked through electro trying to find a bag so I can backtrack for it all.

Then I get jumped by two players, I had only an axe, they had rifles. I surrendered, got handcuffed and they used me as a blood bank to fill a few blood bags before chasing me out of electro. Now I'm somewhere north of electro with most of my good stuff gone, low on blood and thirsty.

damnit.

but bloody cool at the same time. I like the new mechanics and I could see a sort of farming of newbie beach to collect blood packs forming among bandits.

Lol, At least they let you go.

Don't think any other game can bring you to desperation to find a can opener.

Timmyctc · 23-12-2013 12:20pm

are there many zombies in the game yet? I would love if it were actually quite difficult to clear an area of zombies. It seemed to be much too easy in the Mod imo.

Still the same, though I remember there were some scripted servers to 10x the amount of zombies, making walks through town impossible alone/unarmed.

I want that

I havent played the standalone yet mind you but I'd love if the zoms proved as much/a bigger threat than bandits. Like being overrun by zombies while youre having a standoff with another player

Dcully · 23-12-2013 12:38pm

Hey guys, i havent had a lot of time to play yet or follow whats going on since the steam release but anytime i did i just run from building to building that are already looted within 20 minutes of server restart which is every 4 hours.
If you happen to log in late in this 4 hour window you might as well be playing run simulator 2013.
Any official word on why the zeds are not ingame yet?
The lack of zeds is contributing dramatically to the hoovering up of loot within 20 mins.

My first experience of it last night was running building to building and finding no loot bar a bottle of water. I found two zeds who chased me and then clipped through the building. So far I don't see what the enjoyment is

ktulu123 · 23-12-2013 2:01pm

Tip lads, don't bother with cherno, elektro or balota. The best spawn is around solnichniy. Head up to berezino & then inland

ktulu123 · 23-12-2013 2:10pm

Here we go lads! Happy Christmas! Enjoy!

Any sharp object can open cans it seems (axe, knife etc)

Genghiz Cohen · 23-12-2013 4:06pm

Screwdriver too.
But you spill like 25- 40% of the contents.

super_furry · 23-12-2013 4:13pm

So....worth it yet for someone who's never played Day Z or should I wait until it's a bit more stable?

It's not that it's unstable. It's fairly similar to the mod. It's content that's missing now.

For me, yeah it's worth it. There's much more interaction with players now, and you can have a good laugh.

ktulu123 · 23-12-2013 4:51pm

Yes it's completely worth it! Watch some videos or streams & decide if its the type of game for you first

Holsten · 23-12-2013 5:56pm

I dunno if it is worth it.

I mean it's just an endless cycle, gear up, get killed and start over. Needs way more content.

Not yet and probably won't be worth it for +6 months

I don't think the price will drop before full release so buy it when you have the money.

The current state of the game is a very slow paced build up to deathmatch.

The infected are a joke and I don't see them ever being able to make the infected a threat.
