Day Z mod for ARMA II

[Spleen]

Well I died more to bugs than to other players or zombies. actually - never zombies...
but thats nothing new, its always been this way, but now that 50k ppl play a alpha somehow the expectations are higher...

Btw guys i dont know if you are using this map for dayZ but it tells you each loot spot, the value of that spot, all the deer stands, even what type of vehicles spawn where, along with coords and eveything

Try pressing a loot spot it tells you exactly what will drop along with a picture of that building/vehicle

m4 reddot flashlight 6 clips, 50 cal with 3 clips, ghillie suite, nightvission and provisions, heading south to  fuck shit up , am in a small building in middle of nowhere looking for food, get hit through wall by zombie, insta break leg and unconcious, long unconcious thingy, get eaten by shitloads of spawns, thank you piss mod pisses me off qq

Exactly what made me GTX, a month ago. Today I first dared to go back in, but that is not fixed? Nevermind then.

[Beauchamp]

i'm afraid some issues are armaII problem and thus this mod will "kinda suck" all the time...

[ulya]

A lot "armaII problems" have already been fixed by mods, and since rocket has full support of Bohemia a lot things that he wants to have fixed will get fixed.

Well, when I played yesterday again after some weeks all of a sudden I had pretty much no fun.

We were 3 guys, sprinkled all over the map, and we couldnt find ANY weapon except a little crowbar ONCE in 3 hours of playtime.

The best thing we found were some magazines.

And since you start without any weapons now beeing spotted by zombies is almost death sentence.Occasionally you manage to get away, but thats rather rare, especially if you dont have anything to defend you.

[Xant]

Lies, the zombies still can't catch you if you keep running. Just lose them in a building.

fucked up server

Yeah, the thing is, sometimes you cant really lose them in a building.They follow you up close.And if you are bleeding already, you can only run until you are dead.

or another case: I got followed out of kamenka by, dunno, maybe 6 Zombies, and ran to the lighthouse.Once inside I immediately went up the stairs, where I waited for 10 minutes(Also broke my bones because I crouched and looked inside the wall...gay), and the zombies still wouldnt go away.They had clearly lost my sight and such, beeing slightly scattered in front of the entrance, but how am I supposed to get away from there if they dont move?And since I had nothing found still, I just let them kill myself and started anew.

stairs and ladders are the most dangerous thing on this mod

dont forget the doors. one of our guys broke his leg twice on a door already. Another one got hit through the stairs by a zed that was below. I had a broken bone twice (by Zeds). Next guy broke his bone (by Zeds) several times.

This is the game of broken bones and proning. -.-

Dunno why we are addicted to it. I am alive around 2 days now, maybe 3. We had a bus and went to the international airport. two of us four died there. One had a broken bone. Lucky we had an autoinjector with us. The Zeds respawned in the instant we shot them. They swarmed us pretty bad. I did go in with an AKM and 2 or 3 Mags and a 1911 with around 4 Mags. Both kill with one shot and I did not use the full-auto-mode of the AK. (i did semi-shots with my mouseklicks. )
When we met outside on a field I had 3 Shots left in my AK... and none in my Pistol.

Before that we found a car and two of our 8-men-group got shot by some guy on a bike who did follow them to our meeting-spot. Lucky our sniper was there, too. Unlucky the car exploded.

Later we found a player named "Shashlyk". We saw him go into a barn and leave again. I tried to write to him but he didnt see it. Maybe he was out of range (around 50 meters away). He did crawl in our direction, our sniper did go mad a bit, aiming at him but I was able to hold him back. Just when I wanted to write "friendly?" the other guy drew his AK. Bad luck, our sniper was faster.
Now I got his AK Kobra. Sadly I could not take his ghillie-suit.

Edit: To inform you, we are usually friendly. If you do not aim at us or dont see us we will draw back and leave you in peace. if you come closer with a drawn weapon or aim at us we will shoot without hesitation.

We also found a place to stay for a while, even if we wont set up tents there. But there spawn animals (two cows, one sheep yesterday) and its near a pond and a medium-sized village. We could silently stay alive for a while. What is sad is that the cars are not save. Other players can take them for a ride whenever they want. Now we need to wait seven days until the next one spawns.

Oh and the Helicopters are turned off because of some desync-bugs. I would love to fly one.

Also there are no tanks. And inland you wont find a hospital (good that morphine is in common houses, too).

Edit: The only thing that really pisses me off is that bone-breaking-rate. The wiki says "Causes of Broken Bones: zombies on rare occasions." Now: Why does our group have broken bones at least twice a day? And we are not stupid enough to fall down somewhere. 80% of our broken bones are thanks to Zeds. I am less afraid of dying then of breaking a bone. -.-

Yesterday I broke my bones by putting down my binoculars, which I had previously taken out on the exact same spot without moving, while lying in front of stairs. Now I'm terrified of stairs. Bloody bastards.

Kamenka has a red brick house with 2 entrances. Run through there and it's almost like cheating.

[Niemand]

If you wanna make sure you lose them wait a bit until they are inside. Dunno if that works as well as I think, but it should. Zeds are moving slow inside buildings, near entrances and stairs.
I usually dont go near larger groups of Zeds and kill those that are a bit separated from others - or near deerstands (there only spawn 2 to 4, mostly 3 Zeds). Zeds can have food and soda with them, so you can survive by that. If you were lucky enough to get a weapon - like an axe.

If you are a beginner: open you inventory ("G" by default), rightclick on your hatchet and "Remove from toolbelt". then you use it as your primary weapon. Do NOT do this when you dont wanna risk loosing your mainweapon. Because you drop it when taking another and sometimes it bugs away.

EDIT!
You can get away from Zeds when you run up some steep hills. you need 300m between yourself and them. then they dont hunt you anymore.

Once, I broke my legs and started bleeding because my mate and I collided physically in a tiny corridor while crouch running.

Now I'm terrified of people approaching me at slow velocity.

To sum it up: in DayZ you have exact ballistic curves, all kinds of realistic vegetation, weather, wind, realistic night sky and moon cycles, but you kill yourself by opening the door, by being 5 seconds desynced from the server or by putting a cola into your inventory.

Nice summary.
