DayZ
With the DayZ standalone playable alpha release looming, I thought I would check out the mod version of the game. http://dayzdev.tumblr.com/
If you dont know, DayZ is an open world survival zombie game modification based off of the military sim ArmA 2 games. www.dayzmod.com Basically its hardcore mode survival against zombies and even more dangerous, other players. I have been watching vids for months and took advantage of a steam sale today to pick up ArmA 2. Anyone playing DayZ right now? Servers? Thoughts? I have a teamspeak we can use! |

So that Arma 3 Wasteland was fun. That mission to get the radar was tense. A lot more action than DayZ.

Rocket is leaving Bohemia and DayZ by the end of this year. Hope the game doesn't go to shit.

Here is a rundown of what is in the video. My thoughts on it. I don't think of missed any of the talking points.
I like that the flashlights work in the day now. It can be used to signal players or something like that. They are working on a physics for the game. Throwing items is pretty interesting and can be used in a variety of ways. Especially tossing things to your buddies. Throwing ammo when pinned down could be pretty sweet. Containers like fridges are good because it is one step closer to having your own houses/bases where you can store your shit and build up an arsenal or infirmary, etc. **** yeah! Bow and arrow! And the arrows remain visible once shot. Hopefully they can be collected and reused/repaired. Shit yeah screwdriver as a weapon (that might already be in, but wasn't a few weeks ago). And new animations for weapons. Much more natural looking. Expanding and creating new towns. Adding more buildings. Not going to show them though. Wants it to be a surprise. Hopefully new towns and at least a few cities will be built in the North. I would really like to see them put a large (the largest) city in the North, just to draw people off the coast. Weather effected items is really going to make this game a bitch. Hunting will be ****ing great! High risk high reward in the game. Draw zombies and people to you, but good source of food for your group. Working on camp fires for cooking food, warming players, drying items. Interesting to learn why d-sync occurs. Nice to know it will be (possibly) fixed in a few weeks. Big team currently working on animals is going to work on hit detection for zombies, so no more phasing through walls and floors. Plus adding zombie respawns means more total zeds. Won't be for several weeks. In 2 weeks it goes to experimental, which is internal, and then depending on bugs, will move out into the community. Currently experimenting with persistent objects. Right now they are working with backpacks. Working on paper and wood (for barricades) as well. It will be awesome once you can barricade a building or area permanently for you and your friends. Slow vehicles will be phased in first (bikes). Vehicles with have to be repaired/built by the players. Batteries, starters, spark plugs for cars/trucks/etc.

I was going to join you guys, but my computer is freezing every time I try to play this game. It is a very common problem in which I have yet to find an answer to.
Every other game runs flawlessly but DayZ. I have to hard-reset my computer when it happens, so it's pretty much pushed me to a "**** it" attitude. |
