DayZ? Not really. But I'm not the best, so I can't lonewolf like others can. It's pretty frightening to play by myself though. Always afraid I'm an inch away from permadeath.

If you get the game, you're welcome to join hometeam, Buck and myself. Play a few times a week, not a serious commitment .

So that Arma 3 Wasteland was fun. That mission to get the radar was tense. A lot more action than DayZ.

Rocket is leaving Bohemia and DayZ by the end of this year. Hope the game doesn't go to shit.

Doubt it. Rocket is a creative voice behind the scenes, and he even said he would be there as long as they needed him.

1.5 million copies sold. I see only a bright future for dayz

Here is a rundown of what is in the video. My thoughts on it. I don't think of missed any of the talking points.

I like that the flashlights work in the day now. It can be used to signal players or something like that.

They are working on a physics for the game. Throwing items is pretty interesting and can be used in a variety of ways. Especially tossing things to your buddies. Throwing ammo when pinned down could be pretty sweet.

Containers like fridges are good because it is one step closer to having your own houses/bases where you can store your shit and build up an arsenal or infirmary, etc.

**** yeah! Bow and arrow! And the arrows remain visible once shot. Hopefully they can be collected and reused/repaired.

Shit yeah screwdriver as a weapon (that might already be in, but wasn't a few weeks ago). And new animations for weapons. Much more natural looking.

Expanding and creating new towns. Adding more buildings. Not going to show them though. Wants it to be a surprise. Hopefully new towns and at least a few cities will be built in the North. I would really like to see them put a large (the largest) city in the North, just to draw people off the coast.

Weather effected items is really going to make this game a bitch.

Hunting will be ****ing great! High risk high reward in the game. Draw zombies and people to you, but good source of food for your group. Working on camp fires for cooking food, warming players, drying items.

Interesting to learn why d-sync occurs. Nice to know it will be (possibly) fixed in a few weeks.

Big team currently working on animals is going to work on hit detection for zombies, so no more phasing through walls and floors. Plus adding zombie respawns means more total zeds. Won't be for several weeks. In 2 weeks it goes to experimental, which is internal, and then depending on bugs, will move out into the community.

Currently experimenting with persistent objects. Right now they are working with backpacks. Working on paper and wood (for barricades) as well. It will be awesome once you can barricade a building or area permanently for you and your friends.

Slow vehicles will be phased in first (bikes). Vehicles with have to be repaired/built by the players. Batteries, starters, spark plugs for cars/trucks/etc.

I need to play games tonight. It's been since Monday.

tons of updates pushing extremely quick to experimental. plus 40 new experimental servers

TheRadBrad has some pretty good videos too.

I was going to join you guys, but my computer is freezing every time I try to play this game. It is a very common problem in which I have yet to find an answer to.

Every other game runs flawlessly but DayZ.


I have to hard-reset my computer when it happens, so it's pretty much pushed me to a "**** it" attitude.

lets figure it out. games don't usually crash in certain games unless there is a hardware issue like overheating, ram, PSU, etc

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/gKn5Jgd95oU?feature=player_detailpage" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Anyone want to get down tonight?

This weekend looks to be when I join in with you guys. I have all my parts on their way for my new comp:

Rosewill Line M Case
Gigabyte 78LMT Micro Motherboard
AMD FX6300
PNY Geforce GTX 750 ti OC edition
8 GB Ram
1 TB HDD
Corsair cx 500 watt

Definitely will take pics of the final build, and hopefully be playing days/titanfall this weekend.

Hell yeah dude! What's your steam name?

IM in

BigBeauford

I finally died. I got shot in the back twice with a double barreled shotgun. :(

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/v9J4zwS15VM?feature=player_detailpage" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

What did that cost you?

Rosewill Line M - 38$
FX 6300- 109$
GeForce GTX 750 ti OC - 169$
Gigabyte 78 MicroATX Motherboard - 50$
8 GB 1600 G.Skills Ripsaws Ram - 75$
Corsair 500w CX PS - 30$($20 MIR)
Windows 8.1 - 79$ I got a 20$ off Builders sale
1 TB HDD - 64$
Asus Optical Disc - 25$

I finished putting this together in about 3 hours(first time build ever). Cable management was a bit of a pain, lots of zip ties everywhere to keep it somewhat tidy, but that is expected in a small form factor case. I am on it now, and it screams. Even with a regular harddrive, I booted up to windows in around 10 seconds, maybe less. Installing Titanfall right now, I will get back to you on how the game runs. Otherwise, I am massively pleased with the build.

Also to add, if you are going for a small form factor build, I highly recommend going with a modular power supply (can add/remove which cables you need for the power supply). I am fine I suppose with mine since it's way more power than I need, I got it dirt cheap, and it's a very reputable brand, but I am only using about half the cables I need for it. If you are doing a build, I would space it out over a month, as there are constantly changing sales, especially at new egg. I saved quite a bit. On the negative side, it seems graphics card prices are sky rocketing, and there is no end in sight. I suggest trying to pick up a card sooner rather than later if you want to get started. I found an excellent website for those who want to start building.http://www.hardware-revolution.com/b...november-2013/

Ok, so sub $700. I am looking to build a rig for $600. I am going to try and do this over the course of several months this summer. I will definitely need all of your guys' input. The entire purpose of the rig is to play DayZ. More or less.

You can build that same PC for close to 600, 80 bucks for windows is 65 too much, and if you buy a bundle pack of say ram/mobo/cpu that can save you 25-30 bucks as well

It's amazing how you can build a powerful computer for so cheap nowadays.

Won't lie, I will just steal a cracked version of Windows 7 ultimate (64) if I have to. I did that for a previous shitty PC and it worked great. Thanks for the heads up on bundles. I will definitely hit this thread up several times when I start purchasing hardware.

edit: I really want to play with you guys, and I really want to play as heroes. I will be the bambi that lures asshole bandit scum in to rob/kill me, and that is when you snipe from the tree line and kill those bastards. Then we loot, and repeat. Any excess items we have, we gift to bambis as the happen across our trap.

Well, I have titanfall running at all high settings with 2x AA running at 60 FPS. It's awesome, so I think I will pick up Dayz

Dayz will still be 30-40. It's not optimized yet.

yup but its plenty playable. Ill be on steam, you can add me if you want to play DayZ

Username?

I am installing right now. Username is BigBeauford

Do you want to play tonight?

Yeah, I figured I will jump on as soon as it is downloaded. I don't have a mic right now though.

Oh man, it's not really worth playing without a mic.

Well that's great, I will have to snag one then. Maybe my Ps4 one will work with it. Still downloading.

Looks like my computer recognized the microphone. Do you guys use Ventrillo of ingame for voice chat?

TeamSpeak

What server?

when you're in drag your name to dayz standalone

ts32.gameservers.com:9207

Sorry about that. I will work on my microphone situation tommarow.

Well hometeam, I spawned at NW, didn't die after logging out. Was in the police building and there was an M4 with pristine everything on it and a scope so I got me a better M4 now and there was a 60 round magazine in it too.

Word. I should be home by 2-3 pm Pacific time tomorrow.

Ill be home shortly after that and am off Tuesday. I need to gear up from new spawn so it will work out.

So far, my only two experiences are being punched out within 1 minute, with one guy saying "shhhh, there you go. Take it like a man".

I actually didn't go to work today, so any time.

Those storage units up north spawn scopes. I picked up an extra PU scope and I logged out right near the storage units so I can check for more whenever we play.

You and your storage units. You would think there was crack in there~

And bigB accept my friend request on steam

Dev update. Good stuff coming soon.

http://dayzdev.tumblr.com/post/79960...-into-survival

Damn that is pretty cold

Falx, sup, ready to go whenever you are.

Took me a while, but I'll be all up in this pretty soon.
It will be the first video game I've played since Red Dead Redemption.
I started an ebay biz a lil while back, and ended up with a Radeon 7950 in my possession, so....yeah.
Any can't miss games I can get for cheap to play too?
I'll chime back in when I'm rollin' with DayZ.

Falx we were playing on a known hack server when we got auto-shotgunned to death.

****ers.

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/03/19/u2aruhu2.jpg

yea that was BS :/

New patch has been released to stable.

Oh dayum. Wonder if it included ALL the changes that where on experimental

So supposedly the Zombies are actually really hard now.

So i need to buy the stand alone from steam for 29.99 right?
What all do I need to do?.
Im ready to get going. Wanna make sure im doing what I need to do.

Buy it, download it. Add me on steam, have a mic~

I was playing some tonight already.

Got my mic fixed so I am ready to rock!

SOOOOO we died ~

What am amazing journey that consisted of running for an hour's worth, and getting a shotgun and clown mask, only to be unceremoniously killed when we switched to the populated server.

Getting on and drinking the pain away from Today's games.

Hopefully someone else gets on. I am a sassy black woman with a machete!

I wish shadowplay worked with DayZ, then when we have a situation like tonight, where 6 guys are all friendly chatting, with weapons, all nice like, and then a sniper from a mile away drops big Beauford like a sack of potatoes ~

That shit was golden.

Lol, that was kind of a funny moment. In a non funny way.

You should have seen it from my perspective. I literally saw a long red tracer reach out and snick you right in the neck from very far off.

Anyone going to be on any time soon?

I might play tonight. I'm not gonna be home til like 530 pacific time though

I will likely play some tonight since im off work tomorrow.. wont be home until about 30 minutes before buck though. I am still alive and partially geared in Svetolarsk.

I'm gonna be a fresh spawn.

Guys I'm downloading the update and I should be ready to roll in 15 min or so.

Anyone gonna play tonight?

Also, let me know if you wanna try out some Breaking Point on Arma 3.

I will be getting in soon.

I've been busy.

I bought a bunch of purses from a liquidator and selling them on ebay. I am shocked at how fast they are selling. I can seriously make a business out of this. It's been taking up all my internet time.
Looking to buy a bunch of refurbed ipads next. Chaching.

We didn't die!

What processor do you guys recommend for playing DayZ? On the website it recommends AMD. I know it is a CPU heavy game, so I want to make sure to get the best fit for DayZ.

Depends on your budget. If money is no object, intel is better. But my 109$ fx6300 cannot be beat for dollar value.

I would say minimum I recommend is an AMD FX-6300 like bigbeuford is using.

Beyond that anything I-5+ from the sandy bridge family or newer on the intel side will work fine.
