DayZ iT incoming. I don't want to rely on some other person for server updates/downtime/etc.

Just waiting for the approval.

That would actually be really cool. However, I don't want to join up in a server with a bunch of people I know and end up killing em. Might feel bad for stealing your gear. I'm more of a shoot on site type of person after being shot a few times.

I'm just now starting to get stacked too. Alice pack with M4SD, M24, all of the compass, toolbox, etc and picked up a range finder last night. Just need the NVGs.

If you see a M24 I highly recommend picking it up. There isn't anything better than ranging someone at 800m, zeroing, and headshotting them.

Also the other night we found a bus. Working on getting a car/truck up and running now. We should work on getting a chopper working when they patch them back in.

i run it with a 8800gt and a duo at like 2.33. just lower all the settings and you should be fine, i get around 45-50 fps with that and my stuff is pretty old.

just above unplayable (around 25-30fps I think?) on GTX460 and Q6600 @ 3.2ghz, it gets hella worse in large towns. Has to do with how it draws player/zombie models I think, single player is just fine even at 120fps in large fields.

I have two 460's and had the i7 970 @ 3.2, but after I overclocked it to 3.7 my FPS skyrocketed to around 50-75. Keep in mind this is with the mouse-fix set to 1, so that alone dropped my FPS by, at the least, 60.

although i'm running on max settings (minus the stupid bloom thing)

Holy shit zombies see me from miles away now.

How do you do anything after you spawn? You can't sneak into towns because of the zombies insane aggro radius through walls (even while crouched + walk), weapon drops seem to be lower than ever.

My friend and I tried having him run through the town several times to aggro everything and I would go in to find the items... it just didn't work. Besides having several zombies spawn on me (crouched + walking + behind their backs), they still aggroed and I absolutely nothing, except letting them kill me and respawning, to do.

What's the correct way to do it?

the thing is, the zombies cant catch you if you are fully running. If you are not patient enough to sneak when you spawn, I would suggest running and losing them in a building, or run them off a cliff ( for some reason they die on hills )

what I ended up doing was joining an outdated server (7.0 or 7.1) where there are no zombies, I walked to a supermarket and disconnected. I rejoined on a bunch of servers until I found a weapon.

I get what they were trying to do, but at the very least you should spawn with an axe. The axe isn't bad at all:
you can kill zombies before they hit you
It's silent
You can break the glass at hospitals without making noise
Kill animals without noise
oh, and it's an actual good silent weapon, in case I didn't mention that.

Got shot at by the grocery store. Dies.

Gets an axe. Slashes way back to grocery store.
Finds most of my stuff on my body, old bandages no where to be seen. Health down to 1000. Now just server hopping hoping no one stole all the cans of food.

Edit: nvm dead

Just got this game if anyone is still playing this game add me on steam. I keep getting raped playing solo

FUCKING LOL! haha.

I was crying laughing watching that video. When he turns the corner and sees the guy a floor above him... priceless.

this guy sounds like a psychopath, but i would love to play with him... ahaha

This game. Is such an experience. I dont think Ive ever been more on edge playing anything else haha

Is there any plan for this game to become standalone?

I think it was mentioned in an interview, there may be such a thing as the game will probably use the ARMA 3 engine with ARMA 2 assets.

The game is going to be fully supported in Arma III, I believe they've officially hired him to work on it. (don't quote me on that last part)

Also, anyone add me on steam I play this shit all the time, currently m107 and m14-AIM, 1911 stocked, if your new I can spot you my M14-AIM scope till you pick up something nice.

the game seems amazingly laggy whenever i see videos of it (because it's huge).

i don't know if it's so much the size of the map as it is just bad servers, honestly. I get random shit tier servers that are constantly desynced, but that's really a tiny amount in my experience.

just don't join 50/50 player servers, those are almost always shit in both performance and player quality.

check this guy out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_aXYebQss8

watched nearly all of this vids, those guys are insanely good

are you prone while opening the door? apparently sometimes you break your bones if you open a door while prone.
