Day Z: Anybody interested to setup a group/clan?

Count me in! I'm saving up for this game, so I should be able to join you guys soon

 

I will buy the game next month so count me in

 

I may well join, I've been looking for a group who won't stab me in the back.

My latest experience:
*Works with a guy to raid a village for over 15 minutes*
"Hey, can you help; I'm bleeding out here! I'll trade some ammo for bandages, there it's on the floor"
"Well.... okay then here you go...."
"Thanks... btw I need that ammo back" *shoots me in the head*
}:|
*respawns at beach, walks for 5 minutes, gets shot at*
"FUUUU"
*runs into town, attracts as many infected as possible, runs straight at attacker*

 

what is dayz.?

 

Questions:
How does one exit the game, does it save progress? or it is starting fresh each and every time?

What happens sfter an area if fortified and secured... Then we leave the game?

Is there just the one big map, or multiple maps?

Is there an overall objective to the game?

 

Same here I'll probably buy it in July.

 

1)Your character is linked to the mod maker's server, it is saved regularly while playing (to be sure, when you grab an item you want to keep, sit around for a minute). It saves your inventory, stats and position so when you rejoin, on any server you pick up from that point.

2)You can't really fortify, once an area is cleared of infected, it will remain so for a short while but they will respawn (sometimes within a few minutes).
Edit: I tell a lie, you can fortify with barbed wire but I don't think it's permanent, no idea how long it lasts though. Also you can't pass through it so it's only really usefull for temporarily blocking an area, or trolling by blocking item spawn areas.
Double Edit: I tell another lie, apparently wire fences are persistent on an individual server, remaining untill a player with a toolbox removes them; which is bloody stupid and would explain why last time I played every enterable building in the town I explored was blocked off by wire fences. Oh, and get this, it only blocks players, infected can pass through it like air. Hope it gets removed or overhauled in the next update.

3)1 big map, identical on every server

4)Try to survive.
Possibly if you are in a group get to the stage when you can repair a vehicle, then go on a rampage


I would prefer individual server "worlds" that are persistent tbh, it would could add quite a lot to the gameplay and make for better community servers but this is enough to hold my interest untill The Dead Linger alpha arrives

 

Sounds like a good way to blow $30. I'll be in soon.

Where's a Steam sale when you need one...

 

As soon as I am done with my Wyoming move and have a good internet connection i will buy the game!!!!

 

this game rules!!

the advantage is when you are with more people, you don't have to search for supplies because I for instance have a backpack with
countless supplies already scavenged.

 

Disadvantage of playing with friends is that you can get shot by mistake and lose all your stuff

 

Well, I would finally like to be able to trust the person I'm with, or anyone for that matter. Currently, I'm alone and crawling (yes, broke another bone) from Novy Sobor (strange little glitch where I spawned after my last death) to Stary Sobor in the hopes that the military tents might have some morphine. If not, I will likely commit suicide and respawn back at the beach closer to civilization, because I'm NOT crawling to the nearest hospital over 30km away.

Definitely count me in, it's been a long time since I played Arma2 and I needed something to bring me back to it.

 

If you can play at the time i play with my mates, don't go respawn. We are somewhere in the forest near Vyshnoye, just a few miles south of you and we got plenty of morfine with us.

The military base in the north doesn't have morfine, it has certain death since it's full of bandits.

 

I've picked this up about a week ago and been trying to find trustworthy people to group up with.

Please feel free to add and message me on steam:
[?

 

So how does this game work? Do you hang around with your "buddies" and try to survive from zombies and other survivors? BTW, i just bought this game so count me in as well ..

 

will probably most likely buy game if you have a server where I can trust the players in my groups ... will have to get mic/headphone 1st though ... maybe after my vacation to the dominican republic i'll get one

does this game have maps for the new players to find our way around? etc ... and be nice to add the MG pathing here LOL

 

Rule #1
No one can be trusted and there are no private servers. The best thing to do is connect to your buddies using teamspeak and stick together. Any stranger you come across is probably hostile and will shoot you because you might carry some nice stuff.

When you buy a gameserver for DayZ you as a admin have absolutely no extra advantages except for kicking people.

There are plenty of maps around, but this one is the most complete:
