Day Z (Survival Zombie Simulator)

[|7th|Nighthawk]

Spawn near a city, drop your PMM, take out your flashlight at first. Then try to find some chem lights (really easy) and go with those although they are really bad. Road flares are too shiny on populated servers plus they attract zombies.
Ran into patient zero 4 times in 3 hours of gaming. He seems not to be that special after all. Well, it takes like a full mag No.4 into his head to kill him but apart from that, he is nothing special. They really should reduce the spawn rate for this thing.

Yea. I have gotten it down with night playing. It is MUCH safer to loot at night! I was pissed yesterday. After 3 hours of collecting gear, first guy I ran into shot me. I was telling him I was okay and all I was not going to shoot. He shot me cause I was a bandit skin I guess. -_- It sucks. I had to kill two people out of self defense, then I get stuck as a bandit.  Trust no one I guess. Shame on me.

Yeah, it's kinda bad on most populated with killing eachother for nothing or just because one is unsure about the other guy.
It annoys me a bit that there is no united hive (I checked like 5 servers and spawned new every time) because I get the feeling I always join at dusk and even though the atmosphere is great, I really would like to move on a bit faster sometimes. I am still stuck near the first city because a zombie managed to kill a tyre on our motorcycle (I hate the bugged motorcycle, it's physics are really fucked up).
Yesterday, we had an awesome moment when looking for a spare tyre: We arrived, lights on, engine blarring and a zombie jumped into our motorcycle which resulted in the tyre loss. We dismounted the motorcycle and headed for a nearby industrial zone which was like 100m away from our position. First, we left the lights on as we did not have any flashlights ready nor chemlights (pretty dumb) to carry. Then I saw some light cone dancing around. As there was a lighthouse nearby, I thought it might have been the source. Then, it jumped around like it does when someone runs with it's flashlight. We quickly turned off the motorcycles light and watched what he did. I had him in my crosshair, not knowing what to do as I don't like killing people just because I can. Then, a zombie discovered me and I had to make a run for it. He certainly heard my footsteps. I think he ran away as fast as he could because half a minute later a chopper started and flew away. He probably was as scared as we were. With a chopper you have a reason to run away as fast as you can when you run into two unknown people I guess

I latley have a strange, kinda annoying issue with my backpacks. They always vanish on reconnect. I googled around and did not find anything.
Anyone had this too or has an idea how to fix it?

Sorry for double post.

Tried Day Z again for the first time in 10 months. I was hugely disappointed.

So now you spawn with a pistol, as well as plenty of food and fluids. What's the excitement in that? I loved the desperation in finding supplies unarmed, hiding and avoiding zombies. Now every newly spawned player begins shooting at you, you don't even get a "slow start" so to speak.

[|7th|Nighthawk]

Try DayZ Origins. It's much better in my oppinion. You do start with one pistol and one mag too but the Islands are bigger and there is not this big concentration of players like in Cherno or Elektro. I think although there are plenty of bandits, one does not run into them every two seconds. It is a big improvement. Also, food in supermarkets is really rare and weapons are not that common neither. Sure, there exist some places where you can find one guaranteed but you have to look for them. Plus those scrap cars build by survivors. You also have random NPC mercenarys in choppers or on foot attacking you on sight. There is also Sector B, a small Island guarded by an army of NPCs. The best loot spawns there but it is insanly difficult to grab those supplies. One more thing, there are less zombies overall but those who hit you will hit you very hard (most of the time instableeding) and there is one superzombie, Dr. Ivan who you can only kill with headshots. He broke my bones on first hit last time. If it would not have been for my friend, I would have been dead for sure.
It promotes playing together as there are multiple levels of heroes and bandits and only the lvl3 heroe can build a stronghold and needs 4 players to help him. Attacking Sect. B all alone is also insanly difficult.
Well, just give it a try and let me know what you think about it.

I want someone to play origins with.

 Ok, so im very interested in this mod.

- In Origins, can you team up with other players?
- Can you build shelters or compounds?

 

[|7th|Nighthawk]

flyboy_fx, you can join our server. We have a mixture of few US-players, some Russians, many Germans and even some French players. Be advised, it's a friendly server so killing innocent people is not that well regaraded. In fact, they made a whitelist in order to reduce the killings. If such things do not bore you, you are welcome to join.

@ Jimi. Yes, you can team up with other players. On normal servers though it is hard to find trustworthy players on your own. It is always good to know someone personally.

Yes, you can build shelters, depots, garages and strongholds if you have the materials and the blueprints (Stronghold ones are at one well guarded place only)

You can survive falling from the hotel if you fall into the pile of rubble behind it. Which mod does he use? The guns sound like guns. I am amazed. I always looked for a combination of ACE and DayZ.

How long till DayZ is standalone? any word on this?

Oh, late response. I think it's DayZero.

Back to the front with you, ye olde thread. Day Z standalone is out for it's 'alpha' phase. Been playing it with two friends yesterday and today and damnit; it's awesome.

There's a fair share of glitches and not that many items are in the game yet (you'll only find M4's and the 1% chance for a Mosin) but it's pretty damn fun.

Yesterday we captured a Russian guy, cuffed him and force-fed him rotten stuff. Then we let him go.
