Lol, pissed myself at that.

"nothing that a smoke grenade and a swift knee to the man purse wouldnt solve!"

 

[Gwadien]

I love his videos.

some interior shots of houses from DayZ Standalone

[Mabs]

yea i saw those and went "its a house , and ?"

 

[old.Tohtori]

It seems they've used all the time to make all houses enterable(it's a word!) and rush a christmas launch due to other zombie games.

Then expect us to pay a full price for a slightly modded...err...mod?

 

[BloodOmen]

Well they did say it would be released in alpha like minecraft was and gradually built up from the ground... which is fair enough I guess, my main quim is if they have cheating under control or not, I couldnt give 2 fucks how the game itself looks if some twat can join a server and insta kill everyone.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Yeah, though we already have an alpha in the mod, so you'd expect a lot of changes in a commercial version for it not to look like a fastbuck ripoff.

 

[Raven]

I like the idea of having everything enter-able, one of the things that really pisses me off is that most aren't.

Not played it for a couple of months now but still hoping the standalone is decent!

 

[Gwadien]

Should be good! After playing the other maps, most buildings were enter able, was a bit disappointing that the shame wasn't on Cherno.

Looking forward to the stand-alone!

 

[Nate]

It's still hacked to fuck so don't even bother looking at it till standalone comes, I'd like to hear what they're doing about that on the standalone.

 

[BloodOmen]

same tbh nate, if they dont come out with some good shit about anit-cheating i'm starting to doubt i'd even touch the standalone one tbh... ordinarily i wouldnt care that much but given the time you spend traversing maps/finding camps etc only to lose it to some 12 year old that was touched by his dad is just zzz

 

[Aada]

I hear private servers are the way to go these days, I'll buy the standalone and I know you will too bloodomen

Nothing better then gearing up and losing it straight away!

 

[itcheh]

I'd like to hear what they're doing about that on the standalone.

"DayZ standalone will be based on a client-server architecture (more like an MMO), not the current ArmA2 architecture"

The new patch is pretty decent except for the annoying "script restriction kick" of total randomness. The stability of the client and the smoothnes of the game has changed remarkably since I started playing, now they only need to get the hacking and exploit sorted.

 

[Nate]

so the only reason most people aren't playing hasn't been fixed.

k.

 

[Gwadien]

Quicker people realise hacking won't stop until stand alone, quicker people will realise they should come back and play when stand-alone when the comes out.

DayZ is a mod of a game, therefore the game is edited in order to make the mod possible, they can't 'lock' the game, unless they were given permission by Bohemia, which pretty much isn't going to happen.

 

[Coldbeard]

I have high hopes for the standalone, so hope they don't screw it up!

 

[Raven]

I had a dabble on Saturday.

Hate the new UI, can't tell if I am hungry or thirsty, no idea how much health I had. I know it's supposed to be realistic and "hardcore" and all that but I am fairly sure I know when I am hungry and thirsty irl.

 

[Mabs]

er you can turn on the old one, at least you could, by going "options" -"ui" , "developer" or something

I like the way it's done in realistic needs(skyrim mod) where it gives a text notification(like you do when you pick up stuff) if you're hungry/thirsty/sleepy/horny.

Well not horny, 'cause that's 24/7.

 

[Raven]

Yeah I did that and it stayed the same, it could be just the private hive I suppose. I didn't try it on a public server.

Then you're hungry/thirsty, the relative HUD icon turns red ... and when things are a bit more desperate they start to flash. Perfectly good system if you ask me.

 

[Raven]

Yeah I know that. But it wasn't working at all for me. Nothing changed after about an hour of play, all stayed green.

 

[Aada]

Any news on stand alone game? Not heard much for a while now they said they wanted it out by end of the year, they don't have long left.

 

[Coldbeard]
