Probably with the latest stable update. Wouldnt install it just yet.

Test server up now with 1.7.1.4, please test and report, all going well we will move to that later with the latest patch and beta depending on reviews of both.

Started a new game walked 2 feet and already had a zombie chasing me. Ran into a small town to look for a gun with no luck. Leaving town I had about 20 running after me. Only way to get rid of them is lead them inside and run away.

Stealth gone out the window. It was just right at 1.7 but now unless you want to spend an hour crawling around it full sprint all the way and hope you can get a weapon or lose them.

I know, it's probably because the mod has basically exploded in popularity and it's attention in the media that a proportion of players 'assume' this is fully released game.

I don't think any of the players who have jumped through all the hoops necessary to get it running (dayz files, arma patch, run script, etc) are going to mistake it for a fully released game..

Just watched that the whole way through and it was a good insight into where he (Rocket) wants to take this mod... they also seemed to be playing one of the latest versions so nice to see/hear his take on that.

Zombies hearing is definitely too high if they hear you opening a coke can!!

Looks way too easy though to alert a horde as they were not making much noise in the barn/house but still Zeds kept coming!!

Also handy to know about the certain house(s) where zombies cannot attack you

Are you supposed to spawn without a gun?

13,000 concurrent connections! And you guys haven't played 1.7.1.5 hotfix yet... just finished first closed test with excellent results

do not see this being mentioned so i thought i would say it, tents are being reset so you guys might want to move your stuff.

Also I don't come on these boards too often but I do keep an eye on them because I tend to stick with your server so I wanted to ask, a couple of nights ago myself and a friend or two checked out stary sobor and there was a tonne of weapons, anyone know what happened there? i seen flyingirishman reply to someone saying yeah that was us, just wanted to know why you guys dropped so much weaponry! thanks a bunch though

I also intend to put some cash towards the server when i can afford to do so, anyway great work on keeping the server steady, keep it up. Any plans on having a larger player count on it at some stage?

I'm pretty sure that we filled the jeep and our packs with whatever we could carry and left the rest to whoever turned up

Got my first murder.



He was prone and had either seen me ( but not seem me cut off to the east and around) or someone else on the road as he had a AS50 out aiming there which i assume was used in conduction with his range finder, both now mine.

Playing 1.7.1.5

No idea if the zed agro has been fixed because they spawn so damn far away now I'm at a deer stand and it would be impossible to hit any of them without a scoped weapon they are so far away.

Just use annonymous for both username and password, works fine for me.

Is there many servers using the 1.7.1.5 patch?

About 20 or so atm.

Humm....

I spawn, look for a gun, can't find one, disturb some zombies and they kill the **** out of me.

OPF, ARMA, ARMA II, ARMA II ACE were never this hard!

Zombies should be able to open doors ( break them down) but there should not be able to climb ladders or swim.

Ponster

So...

AKS-74 Kobra or M4A1? I've never used either but only have room for 1

It's just slightly unrealistic, IMO.

Can we really assume that a slightly decomposed corpse would have better hearing than a fit and healthy human being?

Also, since when have zombies been able to climb ladders? I was running away from a horde of about twenty zombies when I attempted to escape them by scaling a water tank of some sort. I thought I was home and dry when I noticed that they were following me up the ladder. With no weapon and no of defending myself, I did the dignified thing and jumped to my death! :pac:
