DayZ is a MMO open world survival horror video game in development by Bohemia Interactive and the stand-alone version of the award-winning mod of the same name. The game was test-released on December 16, 2013, for Microsoft Windows via digital distribution platform Steam, and is currently in early alpha testing.
The game places the player in the fictional 225km2 post-Soviet state of Chernarus, where an unknown virus has turned most of the population into violent zombies. As a survivor, the player must scavenge the world for food, water, weapons, and medicine, while killing or avoiding zombies, and killing, avoiding or co-opting other players in an effort to survive the zombie apocalypse.
DayZ began development in 2012 when the mod's creator, Dean Hall, joined Bohemia Interactive to commence work on the standalone version of the game. The development has been focused on altering the engine to suit the game's needs, developing a working client-server architecture, and introducing new features like diseases and a better inventory system. The game has sold over 2 million copies since its alpha release.

So this is [B]alot[/B] easier to install and play since it is a standalone game being sold on steam. It saves you quite some time with patching and stuff that we did back in the day ([I]like 2012 was along time ago :P[/I])
[B][URL="http://store.steampowered.com/app/221100/"]You can buy DayZ on the Steam Store by clicking here[/URL][/B] - [B][I]Note:[/I][/B] [I]This game is in Early Access so before you buy it, think twice so you don't whine over a non finished game later on. Random crashes/character wipes and other clusterfuckery still exists.[/I]
Below, you'll find some helpful links, so you won't be shocked at the start. Also, FPers play this game, should join the group so you can meet new survivors!

Just to clear things up, so the thread doesn't get locked, CrucialSeBBi, who made a DayZ thread earlier has agreed to get his thread locked, as Knoxed has been working on a new OP for a while.
So huge thanks to CrucialSeBBi for that.

i dont get the joke sorry can you explain
[QUOTE=Knoxed;46933187]i dont get the joke sorry can you explain[/QUOTE]
the game and op are still in alpha
when the game is finished the op will be finished
Do zombies still go through walls?
I think closed doors block zombies now
some still clips through on laggy servers though
they still go through walls on bagdad cafe
i tried trapping two in a house the other day and one got out

too bad the game wont be finished, just like the op
Typical game of me and a friend in DayZ;
Me: Yeah, I think I'm in cherno, I'm headed west now.
My friend: Yeah, ummm... I see some trees... and..
Last time I play I was getting beat up by invisible zombies and 2 kids imitating Russian gangsters killed me
It is more rare to see zombies phasing through walls now, but the issue is that they can still hit through most walls.
It's about damn time, old thread was like 2 years old
There's nothing like chopper hunting with your friend in a V3S, with your trusty AUG on your back, just to have your V3S be violently thrown under the world by scratching a tiny bit of wall. RIP in peace.

Could be worse, you want to let me fly your littlebird again?
Do you remember?
DO YOU?
I feel a [URL="http://dayzdb.com/map/chernarusplus#3.070.075"]direct link to the map[/URL] would be more useful. I always have this open in steam browser while palying.
DayZ is crazy on high-pop servers
So I went into a private hive server with an independent character save. I kept getting KoS left and right, until I met a Brazilian guy
I was a fresh spawn in Berezino at the time and he greeted me with thick accent. He showed me where to find an axe and turns out he's super good at finding apples
[t]http://i.imgur.com/RDabFv5.jpg[/t]
He found like 6 apples in the short span of a minute and it saved me from my newspawn starvation
We decided to go on adventure together but were interrupted shortly when some guy started shooting at us with a crossbow (on the left behind the stop sign)
[t]http://i.imgur.com/8v9OChs.jpg[/t]
We tried to resolve this peacefully but he won't give up. We were victorious after a short axe fight and celebrated with a small cheer
[t]http://i.imgur.com/CxhJMFK.jpg[/t]
I replenished his health with a Saline bag I found at a clinic since he lost some blood in the skirmish
[t]http://i.imgur.com/DJoLsKx.jpg[/t]
We met some other friendlier people on our journey to the north that didn't try to KoS but they parted way eventually

We also met a speedhacker that chased us with an axe and played 'Let the body hit the floor' over voice comm :v:
[t]http://i.imgur.com/f8S6F16.jpg[/t]
Sadly the server froze soon after and he's gone :(
This is probably one of my best experience with DayZ
So this has been my first week's experience:

Yay a new thread!
But anyways, does anyone knows what's new in 0.53? Can't find anything on it (except new fireplace and tying with rope)

bugs and less stability
Man, last time I played DayZ was the early days of when it was still just an Arma 2 mod.
I've always been curious about getting back into it at some point, but the gist of what I hear from most people is that the game really hasn't gone anywhere over the past year.
Is it even worth $35 at this point?
I havent played in like one and a half years, I remember having full equipment with M4 and tons of ammo. Has there been a character roll back? Or will I still have my stuff when I launch the game?
Game is unplayable with this amount of hackers.

If you play on private shards you're way less likely to run into them. Not a real solution obviously, but it reduces the likelihood at least.
It's pretty much total bullcrap at the moment. I know they don't want it to be all about gun fights but most of the time you can't even defend yourself because the ammunition spawns so rarely.

Aim?

I dunno what you're talking about. I have 230 rounds of 7.62x39mm right now. The biggest problem isn't ammo, its people to shoot.

Well the game came out in December last year, so can't be THAT long.
They've had 2-3 wipes of characters, so your old one is most likely gone. Don't let that stop you, though!
I've played them game since launch, still never seen a hacker. Maybe I just have good luck.
Indeed. In 233 hours of play time from servers large and small I've never encountered a hacker what so ever.
