DayZ Zombie Mod for Arma 2

Duggy747

The zombies having bat-hearing is a new problem but personally I find these updates amusing as every week I see the game grow in development. I still find the new crawler animation hilarious.

Though I imagine it's not so amusing for Villian and Kd to deal with this flow of hotfixes and waiting to see which is the most stable build.

Even as an alpha, these patches should be implemented better just to save Rocket and server owners a whole load of trouble and backlash from the community.

Hopefully those infected changes will bring it back towards 1.7.0... and not require hotfix 1.7.1.? before it's fixed.

Also noticed that they have added the DayZ leaderboards. The guy on top of longest lived boards is still alive after

252h 05m

:eek:
He must be really be bringing up the average!

Spawned in under something, changed servers healed up a bit (now 6k) and logged back in sadly with shock. it night and even if it wasn't the lack of blood make everything rather dark.

I thought about that, but then there must be a couple of thousand, hundred thousand people who respawn as soon as they spawn to get a better location which must be dragging it down immensely.

Yep we will be as soon as it gets a bit of live testing.

Does that count as a life though? I've never done it so I'm not 100% sure.

I was thinking more along the lines of those people who spawn and then get mowed down by bandits in previous patches (and zombies in latest updates) within the first few minutes of their life.

Well they are alive for a few seconds before they click respawn so I assume it would.

Important: Tents will be wiped when update 1.7.1.5 is released within next 6-24 hours. Pack your tent and collect items. Sorry about this

Feck! Suppose if you have a vehicle you could dump some stuff in there assuming they aren't getting wiped too.

I think it's funny that he's hiding from another survivor at the start, also all the exploit talk going on in chat.

there is only one problem so far with the test server and its when you kill someone it shows up as friendly fire...but otherwise its running smooth

FlyingIrishMan

Just wondering, will the stuff from the current server move over to the new server or will everything be gone?

If its the latter, we may as well start playing on whichever server we plan on keeping.

It will move once I copy the mission file and set it to use the same mission file, I need to edit the Bios and update to 1.7.1.4 first, will do that and test myself a little then update later tonight.

That is a problem. I'll test on you to see if it's like that for everyone :P

Was at the Balota airstrip today with my friend Luke, we were scavenging the place and had just found an AK when we were fired upon by an unknown assailant.

We turned off our lights and ran into the warehouse in opposite corners and sat in silence (although Luke was screaming "he's got a gun! he's going to kill us!" over steam chat) as we watched our attacker fight off a zombie successfully with his G17.

As soon as it ended though, I was determined to get revenge for being shot at, so I reloaded the AK with one of the magazines I had found and fired upon the silhouette on the horizon. In the corner I see "Zanred has been killed" and noticed I now had 1 murder. Felt absolutely exhilarated throughout the entire event.

Zanred, if you are reading this, thanks for the G17 and Hatchet!
