Steam DayZ Thread (Standalone)

So I bought the game, ran around for a bit looked in a few houses, ran down some stairs and broken my leg.

?

WTF is this, cant re-spawn, cant change character, jumped to number of servers same issue, deleted my character files, reconnected same issue.

I am going to try leave the game for an hour and re-joining.

Its meant to be a game, I'm meant to be enjoy my time on it,

Any tips for this? will it go away if I leave the game for an hour or is this perm? If it is I will be uninstalling this game straight away.

 

glad to hear you had fun. Welcome to DayZ.





(i want my money back too)

 

To fix broken legs, you can find the required components to make a splint (sticks and rags), kill yourself by attracting some zombies/players or find some morphine.

There are also some kind people who will come and help you: http://tmwdayz.com/

 

I spawned on some server and a zombie killed me so I back in the game.


is there any map I can look at ?

 

http://dayzdb.com/map/chernarusplus is what most people use. Shows loot spawn locations as well which is handy. They are not 100% accurate however.

 

You know the game is in Alpha and incomplete right? So parts are going to be bloody annoying.

 

ooooooooohhhhhhhh mmmmmmmmmman

I was doing really well, I had a back pack with lots of goodies big jacket filled up, I had the SKS but no ammo,

I evaded lots of zoombies and went to kamyshovo down from Conheyhbin and down from factory I was plaining on making it to Balota, I had lots of food and two drinks.

I don't even know what happened, in Kamyshovo, I went into the building with the spiral stair case and made it all the way to the roof, I heard what was either an electric shock or a shot, but I went Unconscious and now Im back on the beech.


It is there any way to find out what happen?

Awesome game, I spent a lot of time cutting through the forest.

Would be a great game with rift support, also I don't want it but they should really have more Zombies in the houses.

Glad I bought it.

If I see some one and I talk on the mic, how close do they have to be to hear me, like if I see some one and they are far away and don't yet see me, and I key up the mic will they hear me or you have to be really close for mic chat?

 

Sounds like you were shot. If you quit while unconscious then you effectively die and respawn as far as I'm aware. Some of the newer guns like the .22 are very quiet.

The range on direct voice very short, made even worse by the volume level which tails off the further away you are (a nice idea but it needs to be louder imho). I think it is about 50-80M. Unless you are extremely close, like 15-25M then its going to be hard to hear them. If you play with anyone I'd suggest teamspeak. Helps avoid using direct and being heard etc and allows you to actually hear what people say lol.

 

Someone probably smoked you with a rifle whilst camping. Back to square one again lol

 

It's a good idea to kill yourself once you get fully geared up. Unless you're in a squad with an objective it's just a case of wandering about until you get killed anyway.

edit: I mean that as lightheartedly as possible

 

So, Rocket said the other day that DayZ is going to be reworked into a new engine, half ArmA engine half new engine.

There is at least some hope for this game yet.

Surely just an excuse for another 6 months with little/no visible progress!

 

At least they have recognised its a mess, and have not just taken our money and abandoned it.
Who knows, we mite be playing it in Beta next year!! (joke)

 

I havent played this game in so long I don't even know what state its in lol. What updates have there been?

 

In reality this new engine concept is nonsense. In actuality it's such a heavily modified engine they have recided to rename it and call it a new engine. There is no actual new engine which some people might think is actually happening.

I have gotten really bored of running sim 2013.

 

They say they are removing half of the engine and replacing it with completely new code.
Still, i think it will flop even with this. Ill keep an eye on it nonetheless since i invested £20 into this shitpile

 

Yes there is quite a bit of new base code going in - from what I understand, they are removing the constricting parts. Such things as lighting variance, to have dark indoors, structures underground (amazingly the engine is not capable of this?!) and so on.

It's good news. The team has expanded to 160 people working, so with any luck, the game we wanted may now be a possibility. I also think that Rocket leaving is a good thing. It's over a year away, but that's better than settling with what we have now.

I've reverted to the mod; it's a better game.

 

I was thinking about going on this. Anyone been on it recently?

 

I jumped on this the other day on a fairly full server, i ran around elektro and never seen a single zombie or enemy. Thought that was weird.

It looks like they have added some decent stuff lately so i should really try again

 

Yeah, battlefield 4's getting a bit boring, thought I'd play something different. Haven't they added energy levels and stuff? I also saw they've added an AK47 type weapon.
