Intredasting. Thanks for the heads up. Didn't they have a targeted early access release of last June (or maybe earlier)?

I'm gonna wait a bit before picking it up. Hell, I just started with the mod about a week ago so I will see how it goes before dropping $30 on it. Maybe after the 1st of the year if things work out..

They said that owners of ArmA 2 would get a discount a while back so they wouldn't have to basically "buy the game" twice since most ArmA 2 purchasers bought it specifically for DayZ.
Paraphrasing sarcastically here: "Thanks for making us wildly successful. We're no longer going to support the incomplete and bug ridden mod we made to get you to buy our product. It'll be a standalone game so you'll have to pay more money for it but we'll give you a discount if you own ArmA 2!" |

I bought Arma 2 when it was on sale for $2 way before the mod came out. |

I'm not sure why anybody would pay to play this, especially since it is, essentially, an alpha release, when the DayZ mod is free and a relatively mature product.

I wouldn't brag on how mature that product it has more glitches then battlefield 4. I've played standalone for about an hour and in alpha form the frame rates are more stable then any mod it's kinda stripped down now but it's already showing more potential then the previous iterations. Oh best of all you can drive a vehicle on the docks and through swamps without randomly exploding. |

I think the standalone will be amazing once it matures. The list they have of what their plans are sound awesome.
Hopefully they continue to allow user mods, I think it will only make the game better. Is this alpha purchase a limited time? How much are we expecting the full price to be? |

Got it, played maybe 30 ,minutes before I had to go to bed. Figured out the flashlight, found rice, found a fire extinguisher, ran from a zombie, didn't die. I'd say it was a good first outing.

I think it runs exceptionally well for being an Alpha. The majority of the bugs are not game breaking. I just think there's a lot of confusion about how the hunger/thirst/infection/sickness system works.If you do your research you'll be fine. |

Is the standalone movement still the same as in arma 2? A2 always felt clunky and disconnected to me and is one of the very few games that actually made me feel a bit nauseated. If it wasn't for that concern I'd pick this right up. I've been playing the Breaking Point mod in A3 and it's pretty good but it has a long way to go.

You are shit outta luck on on y discount. Looks like they only "hoped" to be able to give a discount to Arma 2 players that bought it for DayZ?
It's $30 on Steam, and only going to go up if you buy in after Alpha. |

Earlier I would just get stuck on "waiting for server" or something similar. About an hour ago I tried again and I was getting the bad version thing on every server. Backed out of the game and waited a few minutes and steam started updating. I still get it on a few servers but most work fine now. |

I was just watching a stream of it and it looks like they don't yet have a solution for server hopping... Anyone know if they plan to resolve that? What about Alt-F4? I heard rocket say there was going to be a penalty for DCing, but it didn't sound like it was implemented yet.

We need to get a server figured out and whatnot.
My SteamID is SavageWhiteDude. Do we have a TS server for this? edit: and wtf, all the sudden my flashlight is pointing off to the side and I can't get it pointing straight again? |

There are several new military areas on the map. You can find ammo in 20 round cardboard boxes, as well as in mags.
Best places: Balota, NWAF, Pavlovo Mil base, Veresnik mil base, NEAF. All have barracks and what we're calling the police buildings (camo green 2 story with the jail cell). The tents at Balota and N end of the NWAF are great for ammo, either in boxes or mags. Now that you can join on Steam Friend, we don't necessarily have to have one particular server to hop onto. Also, the Mosin generally drops in non-mil areas. Homes, cars, the garage looking buildings that are new. Optics for Mosin will drop in the mil areas though. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Check the military bases. So far I found about 3 full 30 round mags by searching them. I have yet to find 5.56 ammo by itself though. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I've got about 12 hours in it... so far it's not bad. Finding ammo seems to be my biggest problem. Well, let me clarify that. I'll find 5.56 mags, and not find an M4. Then die. I'll find 7.62 ammo, but no Mosin. Then, die. I'll find .45 ammo, and maybe a FN pistol... but no mag. Eventually, in my search for mags, I die. Or I'll find a Mosin/M4/FN pistol... and never find any ammo at all. So maybe finding ammo isn't the problem, it's finding ammo for the gun I have, or finding a gun for the ammo I have. The server hoppers are cleaning places out right after server restart I think, so it's becoming difficult. I spent 6 hours earlier looking for some 7.62 ammo for my scoped Mosin, then my game crashed. When I restarted, I was a fresh spawn. Fun times with Alpha... |

since its based off the Arma engines it takes a little juice as neither engine is streamlined for being optimized coupled with the fact its an alpha release
what happened to me last night. went to the balota airfield picked up an m4 with a full 10 round magazine. go scavaging for other supplies, get disconnected. Log back in to being attacked by a zombie and see three human players. One see's me and alerts one of his buddies. they start chasing me (I didn't realize my m4 had rounds i thought it was an empty mag) so i'm back pedalling with a base ball bat telling them i dont want their crap and I have nothing they want. 3rd looped back around me. I stop once i'm surrounded they tell me to follow them. so I dis. they tell me to unequip the bat...so I'm in my inventory trying to figure out how. they warn me they are going to open fire if i don't unequip the bat. I can't figure it out, become swiss cheese. As my friend in my teamspeak said "Welcome to Dayz" |
