Day Z

[MiF]

Triple post yay! New Day Z patch (1.7.1.1) within 2 hours:

Current Changelog:

* [FIXED] Server item cleanup error (thanks Dwarden for identifying)

* [FIXED] Server weighted random object error (thanks Dwarden for identifying)

* [REVERT] 5 second delay for disconnecting (will need to wait till new method developed)

* [REVERT] Disabling of interior raycasting (will mean some buildings you will be invisible/can't be hit in for the moment as they don't have view LODs)

* [REVERT] Infected sight based on head not body direction (infected glace around alot, this meant that they had super view directions. Now locked at body direction)

* [FIXED] Area not checked for existing infected before spawning new ones ("blind faith" that it had not made a mistake didn't work)

* [FIXED] Crippling performance issues caused by loot items never being cleaned up (loot now cleaned up)

* [FIXED] Tent pitching (Who the hell codes tent location checks TWICE before pitching? Oh apparently I do)

* [NEW] Marakov spawn rate increased

* [NEW] Small chance Mararov ammo will spawn on an infected

* [FIXED] Converting magazines didn't work if you had MORE than one of that magazine type (now works as intended)

* [NEW] Tweaked audibility and visibility values for kneel walking

* [REVERT] Secret nerf of prone (you noticed)

* [NEW] Can select gender for each new character

* [FIXED] Toolboxes aren't spawning (classname error in loot table)

* [NEW] Small tweaks to AI zombie routines to improve performance

* [REVERT] New spawn timer mechanism (back to the old one for now)

This should fix several issues. Plus you can now choose your gender for each new character, makes a lot more sense. (Edit: apparently character selection is temporary. It was bugged (female reverted to male) so now Rocket made it available for every new character until he fixes the system)

Oh great. I just looted a barracks before this patch came, and what I found (prob looted before me tho): Empty tin cans and 3 makarovs with tons of ammo for them ._.

Today was a day of failures. First me and Massi had a quarrel with Russian kids near Krasnostav. We ended up losing a lot of shit. Russian kids repaired and took an ATV. We later found it 400m further on, out of fuel (twats ).

Next thing that happened is that we had to move our base. I deduced that making markings on the map made them show up on EVERYONE'S map (sometimes). Lovely thing to discover right after I marked our base and vehicle locations on the map. So we now have a new base. Location secret of course.

Anyway, that ATV we claimed got wrecked it in the next hour due to a small bump in the road, somehow causing EVERYONE in the server to get a massive framedrop because of vehicle damage bugs. I tried to turn it upright by bumping into it with the Lada. It fixed the framedrop but the ATV ended up exploding.

After that I took our Lada in the direction of Grishino together with Massi and Kefeus. Right before we entered town, my fucking game crashed (this shit barely ever happens). Icing on the cake that the car got under fire by hostiles 5 seconds later. Kefeus took the wheel but couldn't save the situation. Massi and Kefeus (with his apparently very old character) got killed. After that Nightfreeze swooped in and used the fact that he had an invisibility bug to rape our attackers. That was awesome. Less awesome was that when I finally logged back in and got back to the car, Nightfreeze apparently forgot another nearby dude and I got killed in a hail of machinegun fire.

Shitty day. Still gives some nice screenshots:

Not gonna tell that in public. Just join teamspeak.

[Silver Dot]

What is an "old" character? A character that's like, twenty days old or something? If so, I guess my char is old. I haven't played in at least two weeks, fuck shit.

[Reap3r]

11 days of actively playing 7+hours each day. Needless to say, i raged like there was no tomorrow.

btw,

I am near this beauty:

Lost all my stuff because of this. RIP GLOCK17/M4A1CCOSD

This should be a standard rule: wait at least half a day after a patch release to check if there aren't any large issues that might ruin your character.

I should really play but i have an old version and i am scared to install a new one xD

[Clavus]

I wouldn't play any Day Z tonight... too many bugs going around, even in 1.7.1.4. Guess it's Battlefield 3 night

[Clavus]

And of course I couldn't resist the temptation and joined Reap3r and Massi in their attempt of finding more vehicles. Which ended in Reap3r getting killed right after they had been duplicating stuff (karma's a bitch?). Luckily their assailant was sufficiently satisfied with their ATV (and all the duplicated crap in it) so he left Massi alone.

Which meant he could wait for me to cross half the map to fix the Ural they were trying to guard:

That's a lot of storage space.

Watching this topic is like watching a book being written.

Uploading pictures in the morning,

THIS THREAD IS WORTHLESS WITHOUT PICS!

[Reap3r]

Right guys, I promised you pictures so here we go.

Yesterday it all started when i logged in:

« Crew Clavus: Idiot, no pics from base »

but since nobody was on, I went for the ATVs I left in the middle of nowhere.

After I got them Necrossin wanted to play:

But he was all the way at our old base, but that said, took the ATV with me and waited.

After 5 minutes we had a server restart

and a bug appeared:(Server is running incorrect version) was pretty sad face.

This issue got fixed in 4 hours.(ATV got stolen grrrrrr)

Not much eh, anyway after 4 hours I could play again, so I went in the barn, did not have much blood so:

But it all went good when Necro gave me a blood trans.

After arriving at our base, Necrossin didn't have much time so he logged off, Massi was on so i poked him.

Result:

I got killed too, by the italian Mobs,

Looks like it us US vs French random people vs Russians vs Italian Mobsters,

quite a battle nonetheless.

After massi and clavus went off, I respawned near Balota, got shot at by a freaking noob who just shoots everyone, he was like derping around on top of the control tower.

I saw a AK74 kobra on the ground and I knew what to do.

2 murders later: Arrived at stary, looted shit but made a friend, he repaired my legs in trade of loyality.

I just changed subjects derp.

Was hard to resist not to kill that guy, BECAUSE HE SHOOTS EVERY ZOMBIE ON SIGHT!!!! Also, he is like, "When we see players" "We go sneaky sneak"

He amazed me. After we looted NW airfield together >

Server crashed and didn't went on, so went on random polish server and went back to stary, the result:

Gotcha rabbit

Hurrr im a rock.

Hurr tires!

Hurrr choppah!

Well in the end:

So i guess:

This game is messing with my head.

[Reap3r]

Don't worry:

Our newest addition:

[Ruff]

You guys are still playing this?

What exactly would I have to buy (and how much in €?) to play this game/addon?

And would it run good on my PC? (E8400 @ 3.00GHz | HD3850 @ 256MB | 4GB RAM (800MHz I think))

I've watched a couple of videos and read the stories in this thread.. this looks too amazing to be true.
