DayZ Standalone pre-Alpha - Finally here

New patch this morning, but you lose your stuff the moment you log out. I tested in various ways and everytime I log out and back in I have a new char with new clothes at a new location. Nothing saved. even when logging in and out of the same server.

I've tested some more and found that international servers save progression, but the local ones are buggered. Anyone kind enough to test this for me ;)

I have found something interesting to explain my loss of character and character progression.

@Joy, please rather edit your post instead of posting a new post every time you have something to add.

Double posts, not to mention triple posts, aren't good forum conduct and looks like spam.
 
Well after having my 1st go at the game this weekend, I can honestly say the SA community in this game is fucking retarded.
Shoot on site, no one helps anyone, guy befriends you, waits for you to turn around then shoots you..Kinda like SA is in real.
Other than that, the game is pretty awesome, Enjoying it a lot although I try not to play when servers are full.

I hope you're not talking about anyone here! Haha

PS: I'll only stab you in the back in BF or CS :p
 
My second encounter with another player was when he ran up from behind and hit me with a shovel. Fortunately I was able to run away (all I could do since I had no weapons) and bandage myself up. Hopefully when they are able to up the zombie count the world will be more dangerous thus forcing people to work together.

Haha yeah, if you run into my group you should be fine, we don't shoot on sight. Did you by any chance play the DayZ mod? If yes I have a follow up question. :)

Had some crazy encounters this weekend. A gun fight that ended amicably, a surprise stick up on a buddy that ended with me sniping the bandit in the ass and my bud getting away and one where I got handcuffed by some dude who then went outside to find a guy who was taking pot shots at him earlier, when I hear two shots go off and a new guy coming into the building and headshotting my restrained ass.

Good times. :)

One can only hope lol, but I doubt it. I try to make it a rule not to shoot anyone that is not armed but if your running around with you gun out soz buddie you are getting shot not taking any chances. But it's not all bad ran into a group of 4 guys all fully kitted and they didn't shoot had a little chat got some food and we went our separate ways so the good guys are out there even though they are in the minority. The problem with the alpha is there is not much of an endgame takes about 30 min to get fully kitted and then all that remains is the pvp so hopefully in time with more content that will change only time will tell.

Sadly this seems to be that standard on ZA servers at the moment. I have a group of about 9 people that I play with now that is trust worthy and if you need your back covered we are there. ^_^

The last few times we played together after about 3 hours all the bandits left the server. We kept on patrolling the beach front helping out people that just spawned and killing every bandit we could find.
 
So I've just joined the DayZ family this weekend. I didn't have the best start. Died a lot, very quickly. but I'm getting the hang of it now, I think. I just hope my current character survives long enough to get to where my friends are. (Damn the map is huge)
 
Is there any way to contact the guys hosting the local servers? We really need more than one 24/7 daytime server, cuz its always full and those that work during the day are then stuck playing at night which is no fun.
