DayZ Standalone

[Aada]

Lol must be a nightmare trying to hit airfields with that many

I spawned in Cherno according to chat was a 15 man fire fight going off, I ran away like a girl, Little Bird flying over head unloading rockets and stuff into the city was crazy.

 

[Aada]

Found a base with a Hind/tractor they must have wrecked the engine so nobody could steal it, shame they left 2 grenades in it I put everything into my trusty red tractor and pulled the pins on the nades, BOOM, shit all over the place.

 

[Raven]

Tractors are the very best vehicle possible!

No the bicycle is the best vehicle possible tbh, fast on all terrain and you can lure zombies onto people by sounding the bell xD

 

[Raven]

You can't survey your land and say arrrrhhhh on a bicycle!

They should skin the tractor into a combine tbh could drive around singing the combine harvester song then.

"Dean Hall has officially made it to the top of the world. The DayZ creator watched the sun rise from the summit of Mt. Everest on May 21st, according to a tweet released earlier today.

Gamasutra recently asked Hall about his Arma zombie mod's phenomenal success, and he pointed to the design's ability to trigger psychological responses to both ownership and loss. "I think the big thing was that it was this finely-crafted mix of permadeath -- which gave you a sense of value, because you could lose something -- and ownership," Hall explained. "Because it's persistent, it means that it's going to be there tomorrow. I think those two things mixed together meant that you had these really valuable stories that came from it."

Congratulations to him.

 

[Raven]

Can he get the fuck down and finish what he started now please?

 

[old.Tohtori]

Quite. Pissing off to do some climbing while promising "this will release last year, april, oh some day" is just wank.

 

[BloodOmen]

He had to go to Everest apparently, he had booked it awhile ago and it was $100,000 none refundable. Agree tho, finish the bloody game so we can throw money at you.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Well, from the game sutra interview;

"From here, once we've finished our server/client architecture -- because we're moving it an MMO model -- we're reviewing the situation of that in June, and then we do an alpha, just like Minecraft. People pay X amount of dollars and they get early, cheap access to it, and then once it's beta, price goes up, maybe, say, $10, and once it goes retail, the price goes up $10."

and...

"But we were honest about: we made a mistake in our planning. Our initial planning was just a release date [for] like a very simplified re-release of the mod, basically, just as a standalone. But we realized halfway through that that we actually wanted to make a proper game out of it."

First i heard of this "midway revelation" while i heard plenty of other excuses. So a year late(ish) and released as alpha(mmo(, meaning "never finished".

Not holding high hopes, so can surprise.

Oh and this "pay for early alpha, or PAY MORE LATER!!!" is a worse "scam" then preorders, yet people lap it up.

 

[BloodOmen]

Aye, almost June now so hopefully we'll hear something early June rather than the end of June.

 

[Gwadien]

Think y'all should chill out, think you forget this is HIS baby, he'll have it done when he wants it done, at least he's not rushing it so it's full of bugs and shit! (Hopefully )

i dont mind that, when its 10 now or 30 later, its a good saving if you want to invest in it early, dont see the prob

its better than "PREORDER NOW AND RECEIVE THIS INGAME TSHIRT" or something

Been having so much fun with this again over the past week, was on last night till 0430 and there was 24 people on the server too. Found a Hind someone had his deep north with all the gadgets and weapons you want. The only problem with being kitted out though is you are scared of losing it all.

 

[Mabs]

lols, what server you on ?

 

[Aada]

UK 325 PARA Regiment

 

[Mabs]

UK 325 PARA Regiment

i been trying out their "private" one with NPCs and stuff on it, its quite cool if rather odd

 

[Aada]

Yeah was looking at the private one but it doesn't seem as busy as the regular.

 

[throdgrain]

Ive been playing on the Winchester server, seems quite good, and plenty of admins. And it has a good loading screen.

Silly question I know but I assume the Winchester server is Winchester only?

I don't mind taking their time, i'm actually all for it if they have the cash for it, but then they need to make it clear and not dangle release dates every few months, while talking about honesty

Will give it a go and try drag Mabs along with me

 

[throdgrain]

It's a good server, standard DayZ, but seems to have a few extra loot spawns. I like it.

 

[Aada]

Yeah they have 3 extra buildings 2 fire stations and a barracks at the NE airfield. I logged on last night and was invited to go flying around in some guys helicopter as he was looking for a well known bandit groups helicopter on that server. We never found it but at the end of it we spotted a huge military truck not the Ural and he let me have it so I drove it to a hiding spot.

As I was driving away and him taking off he clipped a telephone pole and his helicopter exploded in a huge fireball we were doing all this in pitch black darkness btw with no NVG and he was pissed and logged.

I found it all hilarious.

 

[BloodOmen]

Just been on (names scott) was iin Elektro I think, checked 2 firestations and found a DMR in 1 and an M16A2 in the other. Gonna log back in later when its dark, to light atm for running around kept seeing people but luckily they were scared of my DMR and ran off.

 

[Gwadien]

what VCs you all on?

& this server doesn't have like 4526536234563 vehicles does it?
