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! |

Be careful Capone, I heard that possibly the next update won't allow you to join a server if your magazine has more ammo in it than allowed. You will just spawn as a new character.

I bought this game last night and played it for about an hour. I understand it's early access and still being developed but I don't know if i'll keep playing it. I guess I prefer a more polished product. I fought off a zombie with an axe which took an eternity and I nearly died in the process. I swear I hit that zombie in the face with that axe like 30 times. Had pretty bad connection loss every time I was in combat. My laptop seems to struggle running this game at a decent frame rate too. It's funny because I can max out a game like bioshock infinite and run it like a dream but dayz on average settings seems to whoop my laptops ass. Perhaps I need to **** with my drivers, idk

And axe hits to zombies only take 2 actual head shots. Remember the warning you have to press OK on when you log in? Alpha game is Alpha. Give it a shot with our group and you can have a lot more fun - add me on steam. |

I totally understand why people stop playing. this game is taxing. Game taxes you and then the issues it has as well. |

and apparently experimental is so overran that there are tons of people waiting to steal spots and they may have to open more servers to handle it.
I kinda wanna try the experimental build.. need teammates. |

Well I guess not tonight?
I'm pretty tired and I'm gonna lay down instead of wait more. |
