Day Z mod for ARMA II

[Butan]

EDIT: as for the new patch, a lot of people are saying that zombie aggroing is based on sight now (and less by sound) and they aggro from really far away if they see you

Must be linked to the [NEW] Exponent driven probability introduced into visibility calculation.

Cant really comprehend this yet though.

Tips for 1.7.2.:

1 - DON'T EQUIP a guillie suit (dunno if camo suit does the same), it will make you bug for 5 secs and lose all your main gear (not the bag one) and stay with survivor skin the same.

2 - Zombie aggro on sight is now working as intended, use the Vision values to help you. Having smoke grenades with you now, will make a bigger difference.

3 - If you had an l85 (like I did), you'll find yourself without main weapon. The fun part is that Rocket already said that all the weapons not included this patch were simply a miscalculation from him, and will return. aka, *sigh*.

4 - TBA

Are the servers working ?

[karasu]

Yep.

Butts of newbie wars again. I couldn't be arsed going stealth through cities because of the new zombie aggro range, so I just ran through Elektro looting everything I found and losing zombies along the way. I saw a guy with winchester afking, axed his ass, looted winchester, grabbed food/drinks, revolver and ammo from store and even an ALICE pack, went outside to loot another building, suddenly dropped dead from 8k to 0 blood, probably shot or zombie uberhit thru wall (if those still exist even).

Next gameplay, again no stealth, just run into the first building, loot hatchet, run into another building, find a survivor looting shit, axe his ass, loot him, go afk for 30 sec, come back and find myself dead, someone shot me with a winchester.

life hits you hard bro

   Yeah, elektro is the best place to hunt newbies if you're too bored, or if you respawned and want some fun. Specially since everything of value is condensed into 1 big spot near a sniping hill with decent veg. cover.

   Now with the  -25% sales of the arma stuff, more noobcakes are coming. The threshold of 500'000 players have been passed. It's like the loot piñata of noob hunting.

Yeah true. I just run now and try to lose their sight of me with LOS

[Fluffy_Muffin]

So today i was a bit bored and while i was doing project Red Cherno sun (spamming the enitre city with flares) i noticed a crawling survivor aproaching me, he typed: HELP in chat so i gave him morphine, painkillers, gave him a blood transfusion and a soda. Then i shot him in the face. So i went about my project collecting flares in houses and lighting up cherno and shooting the enfield to get more zombies on my tail. Ran to the little military tents below the industrial chimney and got shot by a AK, fell down and unloaded a magazine from my m1911 in the guy and we both died.

I managed to survive an hour and a half before that, while: blatantly revelaing myself, throwing flares on top of the fire station, running on the square with a chemlight whilst throwing flares and radnomly shooting.

I regret nothing (except not frapsing my experience  )

This shows the only muffin to be trusted is blueberry.

I just commited my first murder. Guy had an AK with Kobra sight, Epipen, Antibiotics, all the good stuff. Felt (kind of) bad, man.

The moment you feel bad is the moment another survivor will shoot you in the face on sight.

Yeah, after my first real char got sniped by a ghillie wearing gear crutcher for no reason, I told myself to always pull the trigger.

Would that have saved you from a sniper you never saw?
