Day Z, The Road with Zombies

[Mr. Gerbik]

Sounds like something an alpha release would do.

[village]

That's true. Thank you for the sarcasm.

[snowbind]

No, thank you!

[spork]

Gerbik, join us on mumble! It will totally transform day z for you.

We already have a few northerners so we are used to funny accents.

Dayz ... blood robbery

[Mr. Gerbik]

Gerbik, join us on mumble! It will totally transform day z for you.

We already have a few northerners so we are used to funny accents.

My accent is so bad, it's not funny anymore. I'm not even kidding. But seriously, using a mic for me is not an option - small house combined with not being single and usually only having time during the evening etc. Thanks for the offer though

Which reminds me, I have a silly question - since I can only play DayZ in the evening, will I never get to see what it looks like during daytime?

[Sie]

Log onto mumble just to listen and coordinate with us maybe?

[Padaxes]

since I can only play DayZ in the evening, will I never get to see what it looks like during daytime?

Currently yes unless you play on US servers instead.

[Sponge]

Listen on mumble, type in-game?

[Garibaldi]

Do the zombies still do that janky, zig-zag strafe as they run towards you?

[Padaxes]

The zombie running is much better, but they currently still go through the walls and shit in most buildings, I believe they have fixed it from one building type?

[spork]

Also bear in mind they haven't really done much work with the zombies just yet. If they can make them a little bit more challenging to deal with and increase the numbers they are going to be pretty scary!

[Fox]

I find them quite challenging even now, due to the way they're much better at moving through buildings and are seemingly impervious to my baseball bat/fire extinguisher/fists.

[mr_rmg]

Logged in and literally bumped straight into Foxy. This ALWAYS happens to us. Its like an unwritten rule of the universe.

The game is brilliant - I love it, warts and all.

[Padaxes]

The main issue with the Zombies is one hit could give you a disease or something , so getting into a scrap with one is quite tense. I actually quite like it with less of them.

I took a run up north, things have changed up there! Currently wondering the wilderness wondering if my supplies will hold out.

Also bumped into a fully tooled up guy right up north, I tried to talk to him (and type) but there was no reply (2nd time im not sure if direct chat is working) and he looked like he was coming in for the kill. Took him out. But his body disappeared? Combat log? Or bug ?

[Sponge]

This is DayZ, so most probably a combat log.

[Sir Mullo]

Still havent played it. Busy in work and drinking Guinness tonight. See y'all Thursday night hopefully.

[Sir Mullo]

Apparently Zombies are not respawning at the moment so If you kill them, thats it, gone till server restart. Thats why there arent that many knocking about. How big is that patch? will I be waiting another 100 hours?

[Fox]

I think it was about a gig. So only another 20 hours for you on your shitty jackeen connection

No zombies for me tonight either. My woman is out tomorrow though, so I'll definitely be playing then. Tarh harbr.

[Gringo]

I used to love checking in on this thread reading about what sorts of scrapes and shenanigans you guys got into. I eagerly await the new tales from DayZ

[spork]

All characters have just been wiped due to security issues. If you are currently logged in you will be a fresh spawn when you next login.

Strat well be pissed.

Alpha.

[mr_rmg]

confirmed. (The wipe, not that Strat is pissed, altho he will be!)

[Padaxes]

Haha tbh I had run out of things to do a fresh start will hit the spot.

What's interesting is the number

212604

That's less than I expected. Still whats that? 2 million £ ?

Patch notes, not that exciting.

[Fox]

you can measure whether is a battery fully charged, half charged or empty by licking it (not working, delayed until next build)

[mr_rmg]

how do you regen blood? I am fully fed and watered and prone but still everything is black and fucking white.

[Padaxes]

Having your food and water near max will regenerate blood.

Getting blood transfusions from people will also do it.

Not sure about anything else?

[mr_rmg]

If I dont have hungry / thirsty indicators am I near max?

alternatively, come and tea blood bag me you big sexy soldier you..

[Padaxes]

Well tempting as that sounds....

You need to keep eating and drinking until you get positive messages like "my stomach is full"

[mr_rmg]

my stomach is full of love for you.

Also, someone posted some control change tips over at Reddit that I decided to try out and they really do help quite a bit.

In controls, map "Go Prone" to Z (instead of "Prone"), map "Turbo" to SHIFT (hold it to sprint full pelt when standing up), map "Walk" to CTRL (so you can still...well, walk).
