DayZ Mod for ARMA II

    Quote from --Em--

    In the mod walking toward any door, rock, stair, ladder, or props was a way to die. I didn't experienced any death like that in the SA.


    I mostly agree with this statement. I can actually walk on rock formations now and doors just push you out of the way when they open instead of breaking your leg.


    However, I was on the top floor of a school today and some guys were below me. Me and my friends killed a few but one guy ran into the building. I ran inside to cover the stairs and as I was looking over the wall I somehow lagged or glitched through it and fell to my death three floors below.

    Played some yesterday but stopped after I found out that nothing respawns atm (which made scavenging extremely boring, as rotten bananas was the only thing you found).


    I just logged in now to see if the server perhaps had restarted. The absolutely first thing I hear as the screen fades in is someone reloading an automatic rifle. D: Nope.avi

    Finally managed to do some proper map reading and meet up with all of my friends. We've raided all of the northern military bases and airstrips and headed far north in to the uncharted new areas of the map. It's really safe up there with a huge supply of food spawns.


    We've all got full military gear and nicely modded m4s etc. If I die now I'll cry.

    The rifle reloading sound is you btw. Happens every time I spawn too.

    Came across this on Reddit.

    Well, I installed DayZ, and now I bear a terrible regret. There I was walking around, not knowing what the hell I was doing. I managed to find water but that was about it, no food, no weapons, nothing. As I looked into the void, on the brink of starvation, I thought I heard a voice. Then I saw him. A figure come from the distance. He said, "Hey man, I can see you a mile away in those clothes, you need better gear." I replied that I hadn't found anything and was on the verge of starving to death. He threw me a box of cereal and said hope that helps. Before he left he said, "One last thing, don't trust anyone in this game. You got to look out for you and you alone." Then he left.

    As I devoured the cereal like a feral beast I realized as a noob, I had no chance. Then this stranger came back. He said, "Hey, felt bad for leaving you, if you want you can follow me so I can teach you the basics." I thought what the hell and obliged with his offer. He threw me a wrench and said use that as a weapon. Fast forward 4 hours and we hadn't found anything. Every nook and crevice had been scavenged and looted thoroughly. We manged to find water, but alas not enough food. We walked into an abandoned house, but there was something... unsettling about it, like a darkness was there, or about to be. We searched the rooms hoping to find food for we were both about to starve.


    Then as we were about to leave, we saw it. A glowing can of tuna. We went towards it and he said we could share a little bit. As we bent to pick it up, I stood behind him. I don't know what possessed me, but I said one thing to him, "Do you remember what you taught me when we first met? After a long pause, he sighed. I was already raising my wrench as he said, "Yes," in a disappointed yet accepting tone. As I started bashing his skull in I felt nothing but deep regret, yet it did not stop my madness. As my tears hit my keyboard and blood splattered over my character, I kept saying, "I'm so sorry." I don't remember unequipping the wrench but soon I found myself punching his lifeless body. The deed was done. I ate that can of tuna like a wild animal, right next to my mentor's body. But it was him or me... He had to die so I could live... There was no other way... I never even got his name, so whoever you are, if you see this, I am sorry. My character will live with this the rest of his life, however long that is.

    I remember i once met a noob in a village, we chated a bit and i gave him food and a fireaxe, then i told him he should look for food in the village :"take all the food, you'll need it mate, it's easy to starve in this game" i said, and we both said bye and good luck.


    I went to the hill aside of the town and stalked him from afar while he was getting into every single house to find food.


    Then long minutes later once he had finished, i showed myself outside of the village, he went to me and...this is hard.. i asked him : "Hey mate so did you found any food ?" he said : "Yes i did" , "oh, brillant" and then.. i.. i dunno what happened, but i shot him in the head and i .. took his food and my fireaxe back.


    I felt so worthless, dirty and guilty at that moment. I actually thought the cops would knock at my door.


    You are evil!


    /me makes note to self: If I buy Dayz and come across KoKo5oVaR, start shooting immediately!

    played for some hours with a friend, love all the new clothing stuff you can wear. Only saw a couple of zombies though, food and water was hard to find at first, but as we went further north and found some cantines and can openers it wasn't such a big problem anymore.

    I don't find water a problem anymore. I don't even carry canteens with me. Basically if you use the wells in towns as you move between them you shouldn't ever get thirsty Use them until your guy says "I feel really full" or whatever.


    Me and a friend blowing up a petrol station outside Cherno (I'm the guy on the left). Hit the pumps enough times and they'll blow. They can be heard from the other side of the city which should scare a few of the newer players

    So we spent a looong time going up to the high level loot at the NW Airfield and then all the way back down to Elektro, went on the hospital roof and changed to a more popular server. Spawned right back into action, managed to pop two people on the school rooftop before I got popped myself.


    Some more pics from the hike up:

    Playing it for the first time. Learning curve is steep. I hate how the mouse handles as well.


    Played for like 30 mins, then got killed by a fucking douchebag.

    Yeah same, it helped me to set the graphic settings to default, then set the resolution to native and turn off post processing, I think I also turned off motion blur and set AA to max.

    So they changed the spawning locations in the game so you don't start too near the good loot.


    I don't think many people like this spawn location:

    Me and a friend had a couple of guys stalking us through Elektro earlier tonight. We led them out of the city on the East side and they kept following us but we kept evading them. Eventually we lay in some bushes and waited for them to pass. I shot one in the back, he dropped and I shot him again to make sure he was dead. My friend shot at the other guy but missed and that guy logged out (Very lame).


    Anyway I looted the guy I killed, got lots of food and ammo. As my friend was going to look at the left over the guy that had combat logged a couple of minutes ago was now to our East and shot my friend. He managed to survive and we retreated.


    Combat logging is so lame, especially when player server hop to gain an advantage. That guy knew we'd be looting that corpse so he loaded up a different server, moved his character to a better location and then shot at us when we didn't know where he was. It really annoys me.


    What's the point of playing the game if you're going to alt+F4 everytime someone shoots at you. Sure you might lose your stuff but for me most of the fun is starting from nothing and getting geared up again. The server hopping annoys me the most. It's so unfair that players can effectively relocate to gain an advantage without us knowing. There's not much they can do about this at the moment though.


    Still enjoying it. So many tense moments!

    Yeah in the mod if you fired your gun or were in close proximity to another player you would have to wait to log out. I guess stuff like that will come in the future but right now it's really annoying.
