Day Z mod for ARMA II

[Vibe]

O quick question. Does the number of zombies on a server scale with the number of players? I assume so because last night I joined EU2 with 4 players and there were only 62 zombies currently spawned. As opposed to the 700 when that server is full.

They spawn when you get close to their spawn points, afaik. So more players usually spawn more zombies, if they're scattered around the world. If they were all at one village then the zombie count would still be quite low.

All the bodies disappear now on player respawn.....


No more looting :/

Is this is a feature or a bug? Cause this is fucking gay. I was all out of Makarov ammo and I found a new spawn at the coast, shot him, killed 5 zombies that I aggrod with my shots and I bandaged myself. Went to check out the body and its just gone. This better not be a feature cause this ruins all reason for pvp.

The problem is most likely in the "small" servers, lets say you needed 10 people to be able to create an establishment, that would mean 1/5th of a server already, and it would be stuck on 1 server.

Yeah, but why not?It would be pretty hard to get 10 people on a server working together.

Maybe the Towns could be rather instable and under constant attack of zombies, but giving other benefits.

Servers with more players would be more interesting for that (or even for DayZ now). I'd say about 100-200 players per server.

I think that would be way too much for the size of the map.Aye, its really big, but with 200 players on it you would encounter players almost more often than Zombies.

People have reported it so hopefully a fix is coming. Is a pain.

I just joined an EU server, hoping it´s daylight since its daylight outside, but nope was darkness.Well...I started at the coast, but still with my old gear.I was pretty much starved and Dehydrated, but I saw a Flare burning in a village farther north, so I headed out in that direction.Soon after I saw 2 Guys standing around the Flare and shot them with my m24(Now I have no Ammo left).I managed to aquire 2 Cans of baked beans and some water, so I won´t starve nor die of thirst for now...Ned to find a daylighted server now

While it initially sounded like a cool idea... Stary Sobor and the Airfield would literally be warzones with that many players. Even at 5-10 player servers you tend to run into others at those locations.

Coastal cities would also be deathmatch4lyfe

That gun makes me fucking wet

Given how the Arma server already struggles with 50 players, I kinda doubt we'll ever see more than 100 anyway.

It's awsum.

I was overlooking the Stary Sobor military camp while Tor went in.. then I see two guys on the dirt road like 5 meters before me. I shot one guy and the other survivor apparently ran for his life after hearing .50cal shot from behind him and his buddy dying next to him, because we couldn't find him anywhere afterwards.

Which also makes me wonder... according to this map http://www.teamfackin.com/moocow/dayz/map/ the gun only spawns in the "barracks", and the only two barracks on the map are on the NE Airfield. The small military camp between Balota and Cherno for example only has 4 deer towers that don't drop military grade shit (except the AK variants).

So technically, all the best guns are available at NE Airfield only?

[Phyrex]

Yep. The mod screams for a custom map really. I'd like more urban/city areas. An entire map covered in city buildings could be kewl.

Yeah.. which is kind of bad.

Means there is no point in looting anywhere except the airfield for weapons if you have M16 or an AK. Or just generally looting anywhere else if you have a good weapon and ammo.

its not a bad thing and they are actually planning to expand servers up to 100 slots

Oh didn't know about that. And yeah, when I think about it 100 players would be more than enough on one server.
