Re: Day Z

This is great news since my PC can't run games like this well. Glad I held out.

Re: Day Z

It's amazing to me to see how much this game has grown. I played the mod, bought this day 1 and the growth it has had is just unbelievable. I'd love to just go back and play the first edition of the standalone for an hour to see just how big of a change this game has had.

It also amazes me with how much progress they keep making. It feels like we're getting new guns and features all of the time and getting any bugs introduced with them hotfixed quickly after.

This game is still clearly far from finished and needs a ton of polishing, but is easily one of my favorite games of all time and is being played more than anything else I won besides MLB 14. I just hope they keep the same pace and vision up and I have no doubt they will.

Re: Day Z

This week all I have been playing is the DayZ standalone and man is this game better from the initial launch.

I've currently survived for around 3 days now. I have a SKS, axe, wood to make a fire, matches, plenty of food, plenty of warm clothes, and a rain jacket. All of which are green camo. This will make for the perfect setup of becoming a bandit for my first time.

Last night, I ended my play through getting rushed by three zombies, locking myself in a house (zombies don't clip through walls much anymore). Yet I had no ammo for the SKS and had to fight my way out with my ax (2 hit kill). In the process I took a hit and was bleeding. I had no bandages but managed to tear up a old shirt into rags to stop the bleeding.

My vision is a little grey but I think tonight, I'm going to make my way north into the woods to find some farm houses to loot for ammo, then will turn my attention to camping a tree line in hopes of picking off players.

If you have not purchased DayZ standalone yet. I highly recommend picking it up.

I took about 9 months off from DayZ SA after initially playing it quite a bit. I am right there with you. The amount of improvements they've made have impressed me.

Sure you're still going to be dealing with *******s out there, but finding a friend to run with is really what makes DayZ fun. If you have a a buddy and are communicating with each other via TS you can have a blast.

Re: Day Z

The only problem I've had with this game recently has been the hackers. Seems like after .52 was released, the hackers have multiplied and are ruthless. I made it over 150 hours without encountering hackers until recently. I'm hoping BattleEye wakes up from its slumber soon to stop it.

Re: Day Z

Recap from the week.

Spoiler

Me and my cousin managed to meet up at Solnichniy around 5 days ago. We then set out for Kabanino which is right near the military base. While on this trek we saw some crazy things.

Day 1 - We managed to make it to Staroye. We stuck near the tree line and looked for survivors inside the city, making sure it was safe before we moved in. Everything looked good we started to cross a wide open field to move into the field when out of no where two survivors come running out a house. We quickly hit the dirt and hide behind a low rock wall. One survivor was carrying a fuel tank and the other a axe. I kept my Blaze 95 trained on them as they made their way out the city. Knowing they done hit the city we bypassed Staroye and made our way for the small farm houses along the road north. We ended our night camped out in a second story house. Any time running into survivors quickly adds stress to the situation.

Day 2 - We just so happen to start into a server that was about a hour away from darkness. Part of the fun for us with DayZ is cutting no corners, whatever is thrown at us we face it like you would in real life. No quitting servers and finding one that is easier.

So I load my flashlight and get ready to continue north for Novy Sobor. We don't make it 100 yards out the house and its pouring raining and pitch black (lighting strikes in the middle of night thunder storm is beautiful!!). So we decided to get in a shed, light a fire to dry out waiting on the rain to quit. We take that time to load up on food and water.

The rain finally quits and we start out on our hike. Out of no where I hear a zombie growl and spin my flash light to the left to see two zombies chasing a deer through a field. It was crazy looking and quickly elevated my fear level. Then they saw my flash light and started charging us. I let ring out both my 95 blaze rounds, folding both zombies in their tracks. We quickly both agreed, LETS FIND COVER!!! Last thing we needed was to get jumped by several zombies in the dark and open field. So we managed to find a barn and took shelter in the top loft.

Day 3 - **** hit the fan right outside of us spawning in day three. I'm loaded down with plenty of ammo for my 95 Blaze and my cousin is rocking a SKS with no ammo. So together we look pretty intimidating. Well right after we spawned in the barn we head through a big field covered in hay bails. We see a green house up ahead and make our way for it to scavenge for food and water. So my cousin heads upstairs to search as I search the down stairs. I then realize I left the door open to the house so I head back to close it, RIGHT as I'm closing the door I see a guy run right across. He must of heard the door and started saying "Come out the house or we will come in and kill you". Well we have our Teamspeak setup where we can talk with no buttons pressed but when you hold capslocks it mutes teamspeak but talks in game. Makes coordinating way better behind the scenes. So I'm telling my cousin they don't know he is in here, they think it is just me. So he stays out of sight upstairs.

I then run upstairs and start telling them to "Come on in, come say hello". He then responds with "We have three guys with us, you sure you want us coming in?!?". At this point I think he is bluffing so I tell my cousin to train his SKS out the top window to locate this guy. Finally he spots one but only one. So I tell him to put his crosshair right on that guy. So right at this point I tell the guy "If we wanted you dead you would be", he starts mouthing off and I tell him "Tell your buddy to look upstairs and see what is coming his way". His boy then freaks out and runs towards the house to get out of sight.

So now we are in this standoff of these guys talking crap and us talking crap from the second floor. He starts saying how they are coming in and the front door to the house opens, I let ring out two rounds. One through the opening and one through the wall. I work my way to the door and shut it closed again. We have now been trapped inside this house for 10 min or so when out of no where the guys are no longer responding.

Talk about a tense moment attempting to leave that house!!!!!!! I thought we were going to be cut down the moment we stepped out. Yet we made it out alive. Guess they didn't want to take a chance of getting cut down coming through the door so they cut their losses and moved on. Human nature standoff, only DayZ could create.

At this point we are in Guglovo and continue on towards Kabanino. We decided to settle for the night in a shed between Guglovo and Novy Sobor.

Day 4 - So Monday the 12th made our 6th day of surviving. Took us couple days getting off the coast and then 4 days on our current trek. We at this point we are both completely camoed out and camo backpacks. We look like a two man military squad. Right out the gate, I see a big elk in the distance, I lay down, settle my breath, and dropped the elk.

So we head on towards Novy Sobor. Upon getting near the city we started getting attacked by 2 to 3 zombies over and over again. I'm running through ammo fast and starting to get concerned if the waves will end. In the midst of the attacks my cousin took couple good hits and was bleeding heavily. We decide to run for the police station to hold up, close all the doors, and patch him up.

So we get the bleeding stopped but he takes on a sickness. Over the next hour we fought trying to fight his sickness with alcohol tincture, antibiotics, and Saline IV. Nothing was working, he kept getting sicker and was slowly dying. When he started vomiting I knew he was not going to make it and died at the foot of the stairs. I tried to use my defibrillator on him but he was gone. Sad moment, knowing how long it will take us to ever meet up again!

Day 5 - Yesterday I fought to make it out of Novy Sobor by myself. I was quickly attacked by waves of zombies. I managed to fight them all off but I fractured my leg in the middle of the fights. So I had to chop down a tree and make a splint to repair my leg. I then took off hiking for Stary Sobor which has a grocery store. On the way there my guy develops a sickness himself. So now I'm forced to hit the medical facility in Stary and hope for the best. I hit the first building I came to and held up for the night.

Day 6 - Tonight will be hopefully curing this sickness!!! I sure don't want to go out like this. I've worked far to hard to get the gear I got and so damn close to the military base to really gear up weapon wise. Damn I love this game!!!

Zombies chasing deer - CHECK!
Survivor vs Survivor standoff - CHECK!
Hunting adventures - CHECK!
Fighting off hordes of zombies - CHECK!
Close calls with hiding from survivors - CHECK!
Watching your buddy die a slow death - CHECK!
Being left alone to fend for yourself far away from the coast - CHECK!

Re: Day Z

Sorry to hear you're under the weather.


Sickness should clear itself out if you stay hydrated. I had a bout with it earlier but it cleared itself up. J

Re: Day Z

Just spent 30-45 minutes sitting by a fire drinking water and cooking meat all the while drying off and trying to warm up. That's DayZ for you.

Re: Day Z

Being as though I'm solely a console-gamer...

I am excited about these type of games...MMO/sandbox games. I know H1Z1 is headed to PS4 down the road....

Any chance Day-Z will be available on PS4? I'd love a game like this on my console, patching in updates as they go, etc...
