Anyone try this? I've downloaded it played it for 20 mins this morning before work. It's a zombie mod where you have to go around collecting supplies, guns ammo ect... to survive. Once you die you're dead and have to start all over.

You play on servers with others, you can work together to clear and loot towns and defend yourself from other players. You can player kill anyone if you choose to go that route. You log out your character is safe, log back in and you're back in the action.

Looks awesome! Definitely going to try this out.

[StylinRed]

looks incredibly boring

[LsquareD]

Too slow paced for me. Looks fun if you have the patience though.

[SkinnyPupp]

It looks awesome but I don't really want to buy Arma 2 for it

[twitchyzero]

arma II + expansion pack is 1/2 off right now...$15 on amazon.com

Amazon.com: ArmA2: Combined Operations [Download]: Video Games@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/5164M8lyZhL.@@AMEPARAM@@5164M8lyZhL

unfortunately (fortunately?) it's not activated through steam but it's the cheapest way to try out day z right now.

you need an american address but only as a billing address...you receive the game as a download for an installer file. Don't choose a WA address if you dont wanna pay taxes haha

get it so we can get a RS group going haha

tons of other games for cheap..most of which can be activated through steam.

[yogenfruz]

Ugh, I'm doing my best to not spend the money I already don't have to buy it.... If I do, who's in for RS zombie squads?

[TOS'd]

I kinda do want to, but its like $29.99 on steam for II+exp. And the amazon link seems to have expired. =/

[yogenfruz]

I know you can download ArmA II: CO online, but it doesn't allow the multiplayer, besides LAN, or mod use :/ I hate being poor

[SkinnyPupp]

I'd try it for $10 but no more

[FN-2199]

Friend of mine couldn't convince me to buy it, so he bought it for me :fullofwin:

It's an interesting mod. Lots of walking on foot, and the map is HUGE. Lots of bugs and whatnot (random zombie spawns in front of you when you're in towns, zombies hitting through walls, delayed reactions from zombies when you shoot them, etc.), and night time is extremely difficult if you start out with a fresh spawn. I didn't expect too much, considering that the mod is in alpha.

Tons of sneaking around zombies, and then freaking the fuck out when they swarm you after hearing a gun shot. Maps are somewhat useless when you find them, as they don't pinpoint your location. You just have to remember where you have spawned (They tell you what region you're in when you start out). Other than sneaking around and looting, there isn't much else to the game.

didn't get around to play it yet

how's the vehicle play? Do you need to find gas since you need to eat and stuff?
can you swim/take a boat to the remote islands?
i see an airfield...any chance of flying a chopper/plane?
are there any wild animals? hunting?

I've been watching some videos about the game and just general gameplay ones, so far I've found out:

-You find car parts (Tires, gas tank, engine, etc) and piece together wrecked cars. You can also find ATVs
-I haven't seen anything about swimming/boats yet (I wondered about the island right away too)
-I've seen screenshots of people with a helicopter, whether it was non DayZ mod or not, I'm unsure
There's wild animals like goats, pigs etc. You can shoot them and then carve them for meat to cook and eat (If you have a knife).
-You can perform blood transfusions, but you need to have a second person do so for you

I know the game looks slow, with the scavenging and just walking around, but that's kind of why I like it. I want to get away from the constant running and shooting of most FPS these days.

[Wormiez]

Been following WhiskeyFive - WhiskeyFive (http://www.twitch.tv/whiskeyfive)
Game looks promising :)

Planning on picking this game up. Anyone want to form a group and play together?

[yogenfruz]

I'd be down for making squads. I just have to get money, a mouse, and make sure my laptop can handle it.

[Franjo]

i picked up the steam version for 29.99 and gave this a go.

So far I enjoy it. It's nice the fact that there is constant updates to the game released frequently. Simply just download the rar files, extract to Dayz folder and done.

Tons of servers available!

[TOS'd]

^ Are there a lot of people online? Lots of PVPing?

[Franjo]

I've run into lots of people online. Some are friendly some aren't obviously. If a person comes up to you and gives you a salute (key \ on keyboard) that means they're friendly. You can then give the salute back to signify the same. Of course, you don't know if this is just for show, they might shoot you in the head after and take your stuff. Anybody who I ran into giving this signal hasn't killed me yet.

During night time I was out of ammo and saw a red flare out in the distance, so I decided to run full speed to it. There were two guys there and I just stood behind them while they covered me looking for ammo and exploring. So there is a lot of interaction with humans. When you first spawn you usually spawn near the coast, so your bound to run into the some players here and there. I haven't made my way more towards the middle or top of the map, I haven't even scratched the surface yet.

I also set the direct chat function on my mouse to allow talking on the mic. Only players near your proximity can hear you. Another thing if you hate the blur affect like I did when your moving, turn off post processing effects...I couldn't stand it!

Tos'd, there is dozens and dozens of servers. The max is 50 people per server, a lot of them are always full. You're able to find servers easily. It's gaining popularity every day obviously.

[TOS'd]

Shitt....not sure if want to spend even more money on games, haha. But thanks for some input! Gotta give it some thought first.

[Wormiez]

Getting this game tonight. Anyone up to join as a group in the game PM me..

[TOS'd]

Damn you guys! Might cave, haha.

[yogenfruz]

Sold my GPS today so I'm thinking of grabbing arma 2 tonight. Should I get it no steam or just buy a soft copy somewhere else?

[TOS'd]

Anyone still play?

[quasi]

I do from time to time, anyone else?

[TOS'd]

I havent played much since its not great playing alone. :alone:

[RixLin]

[quasi]

Yeah, spent like 3 hours getting to the army base this morning was there 1 minute got shot in the back by some fuckhead. I'm so pissed I won't be playing for a bit.

[quasi]

Not me but this is how I feel most days when I try.

[Atsui]

with arma 3 coming out soon, those who don't have the game yet might want to wait because the mod is most likely going to be ported over

that being said, what happens in-game can be hilarious or stressful as hell, but it's definitely a lot more rewarding when you play with your friends

[JD35]

hmm i was thinking about purchasing this game tonight.. but should I just wait for Arma3 then? :considered:

[FiveDime]

game is really fun!

also their is 2 vancouver servers hosted which is nice.

Looks like due to its popularity its getting its stand a lone game...

DayZ Confirmed as Standalone Game - IGN (http://ca.ign.com/articles/2012/08/07/dayz-confirmed-as-standalone-game)

doubt it will be ported to Arma 3 due to the stand alone.

[Narayan]

Well i was watching these guys stream their dayz LIRIKK (http://www.twitch.tv/lirikk)

and after laughing my ass off on the shit they were doing I had to buy it...

downloading it now and should be ready by tonight to play.

[twitchyzero]

my copy never ended up working properly...so got amazon to do a refund
good thing i saved $15 now that standalone is announced...i ended up using that money for the new counter-strike anyways:nyan:

[Arirang]

Just got this game, and holy shit it is hard. I died so many times trying to look for stuff or just trying to get somewhere

[Narayan]

I agree... it took me a good 2hrs+ to actually do anything in the game.

Last night though I was having a great time... got a decent weapon and back up, lots of food and drink even got a map, watch and a camo suit... but then I killed off like 10 zombies and ran out of bandages and bled to death lol.

If you go to the dayz forums i found alot of useful hits and tips there... Day Z Forums (http://dayzmod.com/forum/)

[Arirang]

Anybody still playing this game? I just started up again and looking for some people to play with haha
