Now that you can spawn there Svetlo can get quite busy. It's still quite laggy for me there though, wouldn't want to do any serious fighting in the town.

I finally got to play with a fellow Arfcommer tonight, ckimma. We met up north of Berezino I had a small back pack, food, water, and a fire axe. ckimma gave me a magnum, SKS and ammo for both. We went up to the NE Airfield, found some loot, ckimma glitched through the floor in the camo building and died. His spawn was close, so I swapped my SKS for his M4 to cover his body. His body disappeared with all his M4 magazines and my SKS.
Then the server reset...and I got booted.

There should be a hardcore zombie survival game that isn't a bug-ridden mess. |

Planetside 2 is free-to-play and not pay-to-win. The items you buy are cosmetic. There are some weapons, but they are balanced DPS-wise with the free ones, they just look cooler.  |

Planetside 2 is free-to-play and not pay-to-win. It might be a matter of personal preference, but pay-not-to-grind, or even pay-for-reduced-downtime isn't exactly not pay-to-win. ETA: http://www.edge-online.com/features/roundtable-six-leading-creatives-chew-over-the-state-of-independent-development/ Roundtable: six leading creatives chew over the state of independent development With the rise of free-to-play gaming and new revenue models, is the market defining the way you design your games at all?
RI: We made a conscious decision to counter that. I do all the business decisions and the programming, and Jan Willem Nijman does all the design. He doesn’t even know how much money is in our bank account. He is unaware of anything related to business. MB: My design is totally influenced by business. I don’t do free to play, because free to play is the devil’s business. But one of the key factors with Volume is designing with Let’s Players and streamers in mind. I want to make a game that looks good to watch, as well as to play. That’s a business concern, because that will affect sales. TB: Because we’ve been doing [Sir, You Are Being Hunted] through Kickstarter and through Early Access, many of our decisions have been based on player feedback. That’s been an interesting design process for us. But because our game’s procedural and there’s only three of us, it can create ten billion scenarios and we can’t check all those little errors in it, or the little emergent stuff. But [the early players] will see stuff that I’ll know is theoretically possible, but I’ll never see it. Someone will post a screenshot and I’ll think, ‘Oh shit, someone can do that.’ It’s really refreshing and it’s let us go further with the procedural stuff than we could have done. Quoted:

The body disappeared in about ten minutes, most likely because the server was resetting. As soon the body disappeared; I took off running, made it to the tree line, and then got the red chain. Since the last update I haven't been able to go prone in barracks to look under the bed, if I go prone and try to crawl into the room, I can't enter the room. Makes me wonder if the two glitches are related.
Got my team speak working also, at least I get connected and see the games and who's playing. I didn't send off as many friend request on steam as I thought I did, so sent requests to those posted steam names. Anyone planning on playing on Friday evening? Maybe get a Arfcom wolf pack going...

As annoying as the glitches can be sometimes, ive grow to like them. at least they arent as bad as when the Beta first came out. |

When I played the original, just dying for no reason due to a glitch was probably the most maddening and anger inducing thing in any game ever. I have been so tempted to buy and try DayZ standalone this whole time, but posts like this just keep reinforcing my will to hold off until they have stuff like this fixed.  If they never get it fixed I'll never buy it. Bohemia, while ambitious, just strike me as amateurs and I wish that weren't so.  I just have a hard time classifying a game as playable if I could die for no reason at any time.

I've been super interested in Day Z, since first reading about it. I even have a gaming machine now (a first). Seeing the cluster that Day Z continues to be, and hearing about H1Z1, I think I'm going to wait for it instead.

It's Bohemia Interactive sale weekend on Steam (15 year commemoration).
Arma 3 is free for the weekend and Arma 1 is free forever. The banner says 'up to 80% off selected titles'. So far one of their games is 20% off. DayZ is still selling hand-over-fist so it probably won't be discounted, but you never know. Arma 3 probably will be. ETA: Dayz 15% off, Arma 3 40% off. |

I saw that they sold 2 million copies so far. Which comes out to about 60 million dollars in profits.
You would think with that type of funding the game would develop a little faster. ( zombies still walking through walls 8 months after alpha release) |

Zombies walking through walls is:
a) never going to be fixed with that game engine b) the least annoying bug in the game They need to fix the sounds and weapon switching. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Zombies walking through walls is: a) never going to be fixed with that game engine b) the least annoying bug in the game They need to fix the sounds and weapon switching. Agreed, and with the kind of money they've made from sales they should have a new, functioning engine and a ton of content by now. DayZ may be the greatest example of a great premise + lousy execution since WWIIOnline. |

I tried this game for a few hours last night. I didn't like it much because it feels awkward and buggy but when I finally got to ambush another noob with my hammer and then fight him in a hammer vs pitchfork duel I feel like I got my moneys worth. That dude fucked me up so bad with that pitchfork I had to climb a big tank and step off but I got his ass.

I played a little more last night. I'm kind of guessing that the key to succeeding is join a server with low pop and loot until you have weapons then go to a higher pop server and fuck up noobs. And also never set food in the bigger towns.

Bought the game the other week. Played the hell out of the mod. After the first hour or so I got my guy geared up with tricked out M4, ammo, food, clothes, etc. and now it's just "what do I do from here?" I just pick a direction on my compass and keep going till I hit a big town then repeat. Zombies are no threat and most servers besides the experimental are sparsely populated.
