DayZ Standalone (Alpha)
#19444207 - 01/19/14 07:53 PM (10 years, 2 months ago) |
|

Who's playing it?
It's in early alpha right now.. game is bad ass. I picked it up a few days ago. Lots of glitches and incomplete stuff and bugs as to be expected with an Alpha.. But surprisingly the game runs pretty damn smooth and you can actually play.. never had crashes or anything.
Most fun I've had in a game in a while. Apparently it's probably gonna be in alpha for a while.. a year or they say.
But yeah.. awesome fucking game.

I've been playing the last week or two. It's actually becoming pretty lonely since I mostly play at night and alone. It's fun as hell once you have a gun and ammunition - I had a scoped mosin at one point, but fell off the power plant tower and died ):

I've heard Rust is pretty good, I'll probably give that a try at some point.
As for better I dunno about that. Better is subjective.. and DayZ is only in alpha.. it has tons of potential. And from what I understand it's basically a DayZ meets minecraft.. I'm not too big on Minecraft..

Rust is also in alpha, but I'm with ya on that. I'll probably try it eventually if I ever get around to building my own gaming PC. My laptop right now can just barely play day z

Too buggy at the moment though! Can invest days in a character only for him to get trapped in a boxed off no mans land, or lag himself to death of a building or something! Got great potential though I kind of feel like I'm wasting my life when I'm playing it! What with all the running and all!

I just got this yesterday, you ain't kidding about the bugs and shit. I had a few zombies walk through walls/fences after me. Once I got used to that and learned to expect some of that sort of stuff, I started having a lot of fun. It's pretty wacky sometimes, though. I've yet to be pk'd although I assume it will happen at every turn. I'm still doing a shitty job of surviving at the moment, but for having played less than 5 hours or something like that I feel like I've gotten a fairly decent grasp of the basics.
I'm hoping to actually find some decent gear soon, although it's difficult to find your way around in-game because the Cyrillic is difficult for me to recognize from in-game to the maps online. I don't even feel comfortable enough to stand near any signs with a browser open for more than 10 or 20 seconds because zombies or people can be on you so fast.
Great game, though. I'm looking forward to wasting a lot of time on it.

Yeah.. it takes a bit to be able to figure the game out to get gear and whatnot.
I've found a good strategy to completely gear up fast.. though it's a bit cheap I think. It works well.. Basically I go on a low pop server... spawn and figure out where I am.. it's usually on the east-ish side of the coast.. I run to the first couple houses to get gear.. hopefully try to find ideally.. at least a backpack, an axe to defend , and a couple things to drink and some food. Then I find a water spout, drink like 8 times.. then just haul ass and run down the road... east/north bound... follow the road all the way up the coast. Past Berezino
(I use this map for reference http://www2.picturepush.com/photo/a/8684080/img/Anonymous/dayz-vehicles-spawns-%28wiki%29.png ). It takes a good 30-40 minutes to run all the way to the airfield all the way up the coast... I run the whole way... only stop maybe twice in the big towns.. Just to find another water well to drink at, and a soda or two and maybe some sardines or something for the trip. Just the bare essentials. Then I keep hauling ass north.
Past Berezino you take a left to Xhelm, and then it's just a quick shot North/Northwest through some woods to hit the airfield where you will find tons of "end game" gear.. M4A1, accessories (grips, scope, suppressor, 60 round magazines, etc), flak vests that hold 6 spots, medical supplies, food, drinks, TONS of ammo, and 300 round ammo containers.
All the good loot is up north mostly, the airfields especially. (There's also another bigger airfield in the far Northwest corner of the map). But if you are on a high pop server... there is a VERY good chance you will get KOS'd as soon as someone spots you at the airfield. Very hot PvP zone, since that's where all the good gear is.
It's happened to me a couple times, run all the way up there.. get some good loot, then walk around a corner and BLAP BLAP BLAP.. Dead.
That's why I generally go on completely dead or low pop servers, run up there.. run through and get all the gear... Then I switch to another low pop server that the area hasn't been touched... and you spawn in the same place you left... so repeat and run through again getting all the loot. Then just repeat that over and over until you have all the loot and ammo you could possibly want or carry, then you can run around like a crazy person with your machine gun and 5000 rounds There are some servers you can go on, that the loot resets like every 20 minutes.. those are good too.
It takes some time, but eventually you will be able to recognize the town you are in right when you spawn in the map just by the features of the town.

Hey, thanks for the map link. I had another one that is almost like Google Earth or something. I didn't realize that you could drive vehicles, or maybe that is something that hasn't been implemented yet but is on the docket? Either way, I'm pretty sure this game is awesome and I am getting better every time I login.
I'm having a hard time finding accessible servers though, it seems like every single time I try to login I get rejected for whatever reason, or I get in and play a bit and then I get a red broken chain link icon and the server drops me after several seconds. Really annoying. Alpha, alpha..

Yeah some servers aren't very stable... although other ones may reset often, and you'll get that DC icon when it happens a lot.
They haven't implemented driving vehicles yet.. it's on the list though. But yeah supposedly it's going to be in alpha for like a year. heh

A lot of the databases online are from the mod - it had vehicles and crazy ass guns that will hopefully be in the standalone version eventually.
How often do you guys play? We should fuck some shit up together sometime

Found some proper weapons (Mosin, .357 magnum) and gear and made a go at the more populated areas of a high-population server tonight, and got shot and knocked out in the process. Next time, I'm going prone and sniping with a long-range scope before I try that shit again, but I feel good about my prospects since I've dispatched a couple of foes now at short-range when they tried to get the better of me. I love me some DayZ.

It is definitely one of the most satisfying gaming experiences IMO, and it's barely playable at it's current state.
Once they flesh out the crafting/base building/vehicles in the next few months, we'll be looking at an entirely different game.

Fuck yeah dude.
Shroomism, Senate, anyone else for that matter, if you guys wanna band together and do some bandit slaughtering, please let me know. Kruger and I were on Mumble and then Skype for a few hours roaming the countryside looting and stalking and it seemed rather effective. Another set or two of eyes wouldn't hurt one bit!

I just spent over an hour gearing up.. I had an M4 with all the attachments and a shitton of ammo.. I was looting stuff on the airfield and saw some guy creeping around... I almost killed him but he shouted friendly and he wont shoot. He asked for some food so I gave him some.. he was acting all friendly with me and was running around with me.. I put my guard down and when I was looting something he charges me with an axe and fucking knocks me unconscious and says thanks for the loot. Fucking hell.. no more being nice to shady fucks.. I should have blasted him in the face when I had a chance.

I had a couple of Germans approach me in Berezino a while back, I could have slaughtered them both since they didn't have guns but only axes, and they shouted friendly so I didn't do it. I had been hit by a zombie and was bleeding (this was before the recent patch that stopped bleeding from zombie hits) and they pointed out that I should bandage myself. As I was doing so, they walked up and killed me with a fireman's axe. Had another run-in with some shady Germans just a couple of days ago as well. At least half the time someone says "friendly" they end up fucking me over.

If someone is friendly and I'm about to kill them, I will now say "put your hands up" and start counting to 5, and if they aren't up by 5 then they are dead. It seems like they always start running around like crazy with fists up when that scenario plays out and I have to kill them anyway.

Yeah I forgot how shady people are in DayZ.. I learned to be SUPER cautious in Rust.. but there it seems most people are either KOS or Friendly. The KOS people will just start shooting instantly, the friendly people will generally shout friendly and stay that way.. it's rare(er) they will backstab you later on. In DayZ seems there's more bloodlust, even when I'm packing a gun and a total noob comes up to me swinging fists
Also death in DayZ feels like a much bigger loss. At least in Rust you can sometimes get your gear back if you can make it back to your corpse.. and if you have a base you have backup stuff. DayZ you start from scratch every time.
But yeah we should team up in Berezino or something soon, once I get geared back up

The biggest issue I have with Rust so far is that my frame rate is shit, even on the lowest settings; whereas on DayZ, I can run it at moderate settings getting 35-40 FPS without a hiccup.

I don't think DayZ is even optimized for GPUs or anything yet so when they do get that figured out, it will probably be a hell of a lot better than it already is.
Shroomism: You should hook up with us sometime when we're on our friends' server. They can reset it at will and it makes gearing up a lot easier sometimes.

Cool what's the server? I'm already all geared up again already. Just being cautious. I log in late at night on very low pop server that resets a lot and just farm the NE airfield over and over. So far got all the gear back, M4 w/ accessories, 300+ rounds, 2 med kits w/ 2 saline bags, defib.. tons of food.
Just gotta farm a bit more to get some perfect condition scope/suppressor and another 300 round ammo box (which actually holds way more than 300 rounds I have found). And I good to go!
Normally ammo stacks to 30 or 40 right? Basically you get those 60 round magazine completely full, empty them.. and you have a stack of 60 bullets you can put in the ammo box, and I think you can fit 8-10 stacks of that in the ammo box? So actually 480+ rounds will fit in the "300 round" box

I'm rocking some TtSKO pants and jacket, ballistic helmet, camo assault vest, SKS with a couple of speedloaders and a small amount of extra ammo, a magnum with a speedloader and gobs of ammo in an ammo box, and a good ol' firefighter axe. I didn't get any medkit stuff, just some bandages, so I'll hit up the hospital in Elektro tomorrow or something. I'll hit you up tomorrow or Friday if you want to get in there and do some bandit killing. I usually just pick the most crowded server possible for that stuff and hit Elektro "sniper hill" area at this point.
I've never messed with the M4 much, I don't care for it compared to a Mosin (especially with the long range scope) or an SKS. I'll grab a few saline IV kits if I can find room for it.

My laptop is a piece of shit, so I can't run it, but that game looks sick. I have a friend that plays it. This sounds really neck-beardish, but I watch youtube videos of this guy called frankieonpcin1080p play Dayz and he's hilarious.
Armas III (what dayZ is based off of) has a mod called altis where it's like cops and robbers. You can get speeding tickets, sell drugs, be a cop, get arrested, etc..

It's so hard being nice in this game. You just get shit on all the time. I've been betrayed a bunch it's shitty, and it makes you cold as fuck, too. I mean I don't kill freshies unless they get close but if you have a gun I'll probably shoot.

I'm the same way. We ran into a guy on the road south of Berezino near the gas station and he was obviously a fresh spawn, so we gave him some food and water and an axe. He just stood there for a while and I started to think he was waiting for friends to show up and kill us for our gear or something. Paranoia is definitely built into the format. It's a lot of fun to help out or meet genuinely friendly people though.

I've been slacking lately but I will play pretty much whenever as long as I'm not in the middle of something.
Watch idiotek, he might kill you for your apple.. lol
If anyone else wants to add me for this or any other game, go ahead and send me a request, just give me a heads up.
Last time this game was frustrating but I still had a fun time even while being shitty at the game.

Think I'm fucking done with this game for now.
I just logged back in after a week, I had spent ~4-5 hours last week gearing my guy up. I log into a server and INSTANTLY - WHAP.. you are dead. Some fuckhead just whacks me from behind and kills me in one hit.
It seems EVERY single time I get some gear, I get killed before even doing anything. That's been the same fucking thing every time the last 6 or 7 times I have geared up.
I hate to rage quit but this shit gets so old. EVERY fucking time. It's just a grief fest. Half the time I don't even see the guy.
At least in Rust there is armor.. you don't die in one fucking hit. And if you do die you can sometimes get your shit back. And even if you lose everything you were carrying, you can still have a base and have gear there. This shit is just stupid.. I spend a couple hours gearing up.. get killed... start over from nothing all over again. Rinse and repeat. I don't think I've even killed anyone in a month. If I play again I'm just going to shoot every single person I see.

I dunno man, sounds like you're playing in busy servers and logging in/out in bad locations or something. I'm geared up on both hardcore and regular characters now.
I've gotten shit back several times, but I try to play with friends and use Mumble/teamspeak or whatever. I don't really like comparing DayZ to Rust because the latter looks like some kind of cheesy cartoon while DayZ is a little more like a military sim IMO.

Nah.. I'm always on a server with less than 6 people... but I do log in/out in rooms in the airfield.. I should probably not do that.

Also death in DayZ feels like a much bigger loss. At least in Rust you can sometimes get your gear back if you can make it back to your corpse.. and if you have a base you have backup stuff. DayZ you start from scratch every time.
But yeah we should team up in Berezino or something soon, once I get geared back up
Pretty sure losing all your shit when you die is the point. Most games don't have the balls to completely wipe your character once you die. Day Z is supposed to be unforgiving. There is also going to be rarer loot in the future and character progression. So dying is a huge deal. But that's what makes for those chest pounding moments.
I've already put 200 hours into Day Z, and it's an alpha holy crap

I agree. I also stopped server hopping in one area so I have been forced to learn the map a lot more and figure out how to evade bandits, etc. It has been quite rewarding in that respect, not only in learning how to survive using something other than end-game gear sets but also because I've seen a lot of neat things and met a lot of cool people, as well as dealt with my fair share of assholes. I like to get geared up, don't get me wrong, but I'm also not afraid to die and don't expect to live very long when I'm geared up anyway because people tend to want to kill you for your shit, or see you as a threat otherwise.
PM me whenever if you want to play in a server sometime, I'm almost always down when I have time.

I do understand that losing all your gear is what happens when you die and you can expect to die a lot because that's the nature of the game. It just gets REALLY old when you die 23239087235 times out of nowhere before you get a chance to do anything, and a lot of times it happens right when I log in, before my character loses the "fuzzy vision" thing you get on a lot of servers when you first log in. I should probably log out in less sketchy places I guess.
I also don't understand how someone can kill me in ONE hit from full health with an axe when I'm fully geared, when it takes a zombie like 50 hits to kill me when I'm naked. I've also hit players with an axe and they sure as hell didn't die in one hit.. usually takes 3-4.
Also what really pissed me off last night is I geared up again (after I made that bitching post).. spent about 2 hours... then I got killed by an invisible teleporting hacker that was playing music in the game chat. At least there's less hackers here than in Rust.. but that shit is lame as fuck. I hate hackers in multiplayer games SO much.
But yeah, I geared up again and got the hell out of the airfield. Now I'm in Berezino and was having some fun. I want to team up with some people and go bandit hunting when I have some free time. I have handcuffs
Also the 300 round boxes can hold 600 rounds, if you stack each stack to 60

I believe there are also character wipe glitches. I've lost a couple that way, only to gear up again, log onto a different server, get my character restored, and then have it all disappear again. It's a pretty frustrating running/murder simulator right now, though I see greatness in its future

Yeah I've had that happen a few times as well. I know if you server hop too fast/often it can wipe your character. But I've had it happen a few times after just logging out for an hour or two, and logging back into the same server and being totally naked at the coast. And no global wipe happened.
Alpha what can ya do I do see great things in the future. If they can get crafting and base building and vehicles implemented.. that would make it amazing

I've had that happen, and once I fully loaded in the server, I logged out of it and back into the previous server and it fixed/restored my gear. It's weird like that.
Hardcore servers are where the most fun happens, I think. You don't run into nearly as many huge groups of heavily armed douchebags, though they do still exist there. Seems like I've had more interesting experiences with friendlies and strange encounters with wackos on those servers than on the regular ones.

Saw that yesterday too. I particularly like the idea of throwing things. It's honestly a wonder he even continues working on this stuff or dealing with the public because of the way people treat him on places like Reddit, Twitter, etc. Nobody is ever satisfied.

I think he probably understands thats how it works a lot of times. With alphas and betas, especially ones where you pay for the game ahead of time. People kind of start asking for too much, obviously they need people to help test and fix things but some people don't know where to draw the line. But that will dissipate the closer it gets to release, once it has a lot more stuff in it. It will get even better one it is released. The money is probably a good motivation too, although even if I had that money, I would be insulted sometimes with how people act.

I still play this game all the time, I think it's masochism.
I play for a few hours, get geared up.... then randomly die to bugs. Then repeat.
No joke.. I had geared up for about 5-6 hours the other night... I go and crouch in a corner of some house to eat... and I just die. I was perfectly healthy... wasn't bleeding... wasn't starving.. no zombies... no other players were even on the server. I just get "You are Dead" and a black screen.
I mean I understand dying from other players, or even switching servers sometimes, but goddamn, just randomly out of nowhere?
I just started over and started gearing up again I think it's masochism.
I've run into all sorts of other bugs too. Like the one where I rubberbanded while walking on the ground, and ended up on top of some watch tower and walking over the rail and falling 50 feet to my death, that one was awesome.

I just got killed a while ago because some dude was glitching inside of a rock next to the shipwreck. He could pop out and shoot you randomly without warning and then hide inside.

DayZ's made a bit of progress since I bought it last year. Here's a screenshot of one of my buddies sitting by the campfire. We crafted a fishing pole and dug up some worms, but didn't catch a damn thing.
At least we had some Old Rasputin.

I just added you to Steam. I haven't played since the new features in Stable were in experimental phase. The new city in the NE is pretty awesome, we should meet up and explore it some time.

For sure. That's the area I've been lurking lately. I'll make rounds between Svet, Berezino, and occasionally the NE airstrip or up to that new big city to the north. Svet's where I've been calling home though, but the traffic is hit or miss.

Buddy of mine and I made our way out west for the first time in months. We got some decent gear at the AF, nothing special, then went to the military base due south where each of us found an AKM, our firsts. No mags or drums anywhere in sight.
I can't believe we didn't spot a single heli crash sight during the entire trek. We must have seen at least 20 possible locations.

Apparently it has something to do with police cars or crashed vehicles that can spawn.. something like if one spawns on the server, the other has a much much lower chance to spawn. Like if crashed cars spawn, crashed helis are basically non-existent, and vice versa, last I read.
