IT'S THE LOVEBUS!

Has it been stolen yet? Hadn't had the chance to get back to the spot yet. Too much people this weekend, not enough zombies.

Do note you might wanna wait a day before trying to play, so the first hotfixes can be rolled out if they're needed. I'm reading some post-update horror stories again on the Day Z forum.

EDIT: Rocket confirmed there are loading issues and it's possible you can lose your equipment. WAIT FOR THE HOTFIX. But at least the performance has been greatly improved.

Well, I died again. Not by the ural this time though. Logged in to find myself in the debug forest, wanted to go run around and the moment I start moving I get riddled by bullets... I'm so fed up with this bullshit, third time in a row I died by a ~censored~ bug and not by any other survivor that is trigger happy.

[Clavus]

I know that feeling. It's the fourth unseen danger in Day Z right now besides zombies, players, and your own stupidity... the bugs and glitches.

[Mr. Darkness]

Was funny today. I spawned on coast with Scrap metal and a flashlight (after I sawm in the watter and then crashed when came back on land). All the time respawned there and always went to that Rog castle (after I discovered it's location I now know how to get there lol). And always found some goodies there. The best thing I yet found there was a winchester shotty + 5 mag for it (Also it can have 15 bullets inside every clip) but then the server crashed... and I respawned again with my scrap metal and a flashlight. ~*BIG CENSORED WORD*~

[Brzhk]

if you're getting attached to a winchester, man, this game is not made for you. What's it gonna be when you loot a L85?

[Clavus]

Steam summer sale has started. Arma 2 CO is 20% off.

[Ruff]

Just bought Arma, hopefully I'll be on in around an hour or whatever, I take it I ask people via Teamspeak for the server and stuff?

Looks like AKM is the best Assault rifle afterall

Okay guys, so it was something very crazy and fun these two days.

Yesterday, 12.07.2012:

We with MrTurboTrio went for Balota, for it's airfield to gear up and encountered some nice loot, while I already was with an AK-74. We met there and geared up, while he had to go for a dinner I covered the base. 3 guys were passing through and we probably killed them. One of them was a pair of surviviors who was running from zombies, meanwhile I had my vew bugged after Alt+tab so I reconnected. These guys were still there, but since we are afreaid of strangers we prefered to get rid of both as we did. We got our gear and then disconnected to a different server with night time. We were all about throwing flares around and raiding zombies. Was quite fun. Turbo acquired a Bremington 870 or whatever its called by that time. Later we went to a road and both disconnected there.

Today:

I went to the military base to meet MrTurboTrio and waited there for a while (~1 hr). I was guarding this place while some ppl were coming there as I shot them. 5 murders in total. But then, 1 guy sneaked up with a Lee Enfield and shot me (probably 1 shot kill). After I spawned, of couce with swearing out loud, I found a bike and went back to the military base, found an AK-74 Kobra and also found my dead body with nothing taken out of it. I looted myself and 1 other guy who I previously killed and went uphill to where MrTurboTrio logged last time. Once I did it, I aborted, myself, while he said he went on a different server. I joined but had NO equipment. I went swearing twice harder but managed to get fun. Later on Moga, me, Turbo and Cadis were all online on the same server, but didnt manage to find each other. Only later when me and Turbo were online we met up in military hospital closer to Balota. He was all hungry while I brought 8 raw meat, made a fireplace and cooked 8 beefs so he also got some more blood from eating. Later when the server went offline, we went together on the server which was LU185, where I got bugged my loadout with Kobra AK. Guess what, I spawned there back with my Kobra! 7 AK clips and went swearing 3 times harder because of happiness. We met up together with turbo at military camp and went to snipe a few newbs trying to get into angars. 1 logged off when he was under my fire and another was killed while running from zombies (Turbo was afk :/). Later on we together went for Stariy sobor but did make only 3/7 of the way. Don't really remember the reason, but we didn't die, no. So we went on LU28 and I was back with my "Fresher" loadout, but with a broken leg and uh... some another bone which makes your aim become shit. Reason was: I disconnected on a deer stand and appearently kind of fell off it.

1st respawn after that: Elektro, found a Lee Enfield quickly + 3 clips for it. I went running away from the city and encountered some guy running from zombies. I saw his Czech backpack and thought: "Hmmmm, damnit. He is running right on me. !st rule of DayZ: Don't trust people with guns and try to prevent them unless they are your steam friends." I pulled my Lee enfield trigger on him and rest of the zombuls. I discovered SOOO MUCH ON HIM. Mostly everything a person who spawned 5 secs ago would. Also the M1911 which kills zombies with 1 shot. After that I went to the firestation outside the city and found a PDW there. Later I went to a forest to get some wood, killed a cow and harvested it's meat, went into a barn, cleared it from zombuls and made a fireplace when I heard a shot behind my back. I got back and prepared my Lee. The guy appeared and I killed him. Luckily he had 5 clips of Lee enfield. I took his stuff and heard an anoher shot, but a shot which was even closer to me. Someone was behind the wall. My fireplace was on and I went backwards, behind boxes and pepared my lee. Some other guy was running to the direction of the barn with like 5 zombuls chasing him. He ran inside and I protected him. He picked an axe (not realizing there was a Shotgun behind my back [facepalm]. And ran away. I heardd another shot, but looks like the guy who I protected was still alive. I waited and waited when saw how this guy rapidly ran in with his axe deployed and thought like FUCK not even realizing it was him. I shot him. Crap. And understood there still was that guy with the lee or whatever he had. So I waited and using 3rd person trick saw how he came in. Appearently he saw me too. So I shot him as well as he shot me. We both died.

***********************************************

RESPAWN

***********************************************

This respawn is the most lucky one and fun I ever had (even tho, I spawned once in Noviy Sobor INSIDE a building, same way as zombies spawn). I went in the city quite quickly found a M1911 and shot 2 zombies who entered in the building as well. It was that shopping center. I got food, found compass, map and watch and kept searching for more stuff. I went in the church and found a Revolver which I never could find before.Probably, I took it, changed m1911 ammo to revolver ammo and went for more adventures. Found a fire station in the city and a dead guy with AKM with him. He also had binoculars andCzech backpack with lot more goods in it, like Morphine and blood bags. I went up with caution but found no one on the firestation tower. So I decided to get out of the city before something funny happened. I headed to airfield and encountered a place with some zombies wandering around already. Looks like someone was there. A guy with a gun was sitting there, I shit my pants and shot him xD. But them I felt like "goddamn it, another innocent", even tho his loot was worth it. I ran till the military base when Turbo told me he could join (but all the entire time he had some strange problems with connection, saying servers are outdated, or either he was stuck on "Waiting for host"). I went in both Angars, and military base. went to angars again to make sure I didn't miss anything AND THEN SUDDENLY A GUY COMES OUT OF THE 2ND ANGAR AND STARTS SHOOTING ME. I saw him and shot as well. He died instantly, I fell down with broken leg and that another bone (which passed out almost instantly). But, he was not alone. A BERSERK WENT RUNNING ON ME WITH AN AXE, I shit my pans and left some more clips in his body as well. I had 5k hp by that time, bleeding, shooting zombies off. I bandaged myself and took morphine, got to the both dead bodies and got some nice loot from them. I mean, really nice loot. 5 morphines, an M9 (which I left in my bag for Turbo + 3 mags to it), a camping tent and water bottles. Everything else was trash to me, especially that m16 the guy had who was shooting me. I went there, disconnected, because I had to go AFK for a sec and came back. I FELL OVER FOR LIKE 5 MINUTES, SRSLY! (that thing happens when you are very low on blood 3k or lower, I think, but for THAT long, never happened before). I got up, ran to the military base with some zombuls on my back and shot them when i got inside. 3 headshots. I went running with 4,7k blood, bloomy screen and muted sound. I was trying to find at least some cow to kill and get it's meat to cook it and restore my blood. But guess what, I was losing connection with server. I was close to the place where Me and Turbo logged off while I was using my loadout with Kobra.

Oh, right. When we were shooting off zombies somewhere at village before Nadezhdino, I was trying to take over zombie's attention and he was shooting them. I think it was my fault when he came close and I ran in front of him while he was shooting. With 1 shot he made my bones broken, and bleed xD. Even if he didnt shoot my leg. Luckily I had a Morphine and bandage and he had painkillers. Healed myself with 1 cooked meat a bit. But was fun tho . At least I didn't die from his shooting.

EDIT: TURBO, YOU STILL RUN LIKE A WOMAN!.

EDIT 2: Oh, wait a second...

Pff.

You can run it on the highest quality settings.

I can't even run it on the lowest.

These are not even the highest

Some of them are on Normal, none on Low tho.

EDIT: Can anyone tell me what should I think when I saw THIS standing in the middle of nowhere not even moving?

I have ARMA2:free, so my graphics are shitty all the time anyway :>

[Dr. Pannenkoek]

Tried updating Day Z + the beta mirrions of times but I can't get past the loading screen, I guess I'll wait till the next update.

EDIT:

Don't know if it will help anyone BUT I followed this guys advice to install the battleye thing for OA in it's directory because mine had error messages on Steam so I think somehow it just isn't that great through steam.

But I'll be on whenever.
