DayZ Standalone pre-Alpha - Finally here

[Clive Woofer]

I don't know. I guess they have a right to complain, because the learning curve is pretty steep at first, but getting shot as a freshie is part of learning the game after all. If that makes someone ragequit, then DayZ probably wasn't for them anyway.

Once you get the hang of the game it becomes really easy to avoid bambi killers. It just takes a bit of learning the ropes.

The problem is not that I got killed the problem is that I am got killed about 15 times in a row before I even had a chance to make it off the beach. Sorry but that is not me not being able to play due to lack of skill. I have been playing the MOD for years on EU servers and for the past few days I have been playing the stand alone on EU server and I have only died once.

I love the game and I have never rage quit the game. The same evening I got spawn rapped I did not even quit, I just swapped to another server.

I just want the world to become more dangerous, PvE must be ridiculously OP to force people to not just easily fire and un-suppressed weapon and generally lean towards teaming up as opposed to KOS.

That and a bit more drive in longevity. After I'm kitted out, I lose interest.

Aye, I can echo what Armitag3 is saying. I just don't play on the ZA servers, I predominantly play on the UK servers where the ping is sub-200ms and the guys aren't out to KoS, they'll rob you sure but they don't hunt players.

True that they need to release that 4000 zombies they where talking about. ^_^

I've recently joined a international role play server, unfortunately they can't strictly enforce rules yet, but the groundwork is all there so when it's ready it should be epic. I have a character - backstory and with like minded people on the server - there is less chance of being shot for fuck all reason when all you have is the shirt on your back!

My experiences have been a mix of good and bad. I tend to avoid anyone wearing a clown or gas mask (nothing good comes from someone wearing a mask...) and I will always try and get the upper hand on someone with being super cautious and get a dialogue going. I'm still waiting for a hold up hostage situation, I never get to use my handcuffs

Just been running around on a server for my first time, I've been running for at least 15 minutes and I can't find anything! Haha even seeing a zombie would make me happy!

Depends where you're running.. but yeah.. its vrry difficult to find a zombie when you want one

The thing that scares me the most about zombies is the lag + phasing through walls + hitboxes which seem to be 10 meters off. When all those things are working, zombies are a breeze A zombie once pushed me through a wall to the outside when I was fighting him!

Maybe some dont think its a good thing. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/20...leader-of-dayz . But honestly its a good thing he started it and is now planning to let do its thing with little involvement.
