Day Z -- Zombie Survival Mod
« on: March 17, 2013, 01:57:09 AM »



Lately I have been playing Day Z, which is a modification for Arma 2 & Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead.

The game is a freeroam survival adventure game, where you're pitted against other survivors and many zombies. The goal of the game is a bit unclear, but from playing it just seems to be that you must collect the best items and vehicles, whilst avoiding getting killed by zombies and players.

If you wish to play Day Z with me, and fellow RC members, please contact me via steam.

I don't play the DayZ mod, but I plan on playing the standalone. It looks so good and with less bugs than the mod:D

The goal of the game is a bit unclear

The primary goal is whatever you want it to be - survive, get the best loot, destroy all the players you can, blah blah blah.

The majority of people that play nowadays either hack or come from the CoD community, so their goal is to kill ALL the people. Very few people still have the goal of meeting new people and surviving with them ect.

One of the largest sources, not the only. Back when there was ~10k people, pretty much the only players were original arma buyers. There were no hackers, and probably 1 in 10 people were bandits.

if there were less hackers back then, it'd be because of the mod being relatively new.

I'm talking june/july, the mod was a few months old by then.


Also, from my experiences talking with people on arma 2(I only got arma around june), Dayz ruined regular arma as well. The people who got bored of dayz went to takistan life ect on regular arma and hacked and trolled there.

I play regular arma quite a bit, haven't really seen any differences.
I'd bet its just people making a scapegoat for the hackers/trolls that have always been there

I'll admit that I only bought ArmA2:OA (+ArmA2:Free) for DayZ xD

[rant]
Anyway, all the hacker stuff shows how bad the engine is really done, and that Battleye is crap.

ArmA2 servers do not follow the guideline for good server infrastructure! Servers should be the authority saying what is true and what is wrong. In ArmA2 part of the game is calculated clientside...... all the player movement, aggressive zombies and cars are calculated clientside which makes it very easy to just say Player:SetPos(x,y,z) in their scripting language and there you go, I can think that dieing and getting hurt also works all clientside from all the delay after being shot. What also is a big mystery for me, why does the server lag so much and use so much hardware...

I myself didn't play ArmA3 yet so can't say if they changed it or not... but its a really bad server design with ArmA2... oh... and about Battleye, its a piece of crap which is buggy and even bans innocent players... I played with a friend which had to rebuy his game the sixth time because apparently his keys got banned, especially after a stupid "script kiddie" (not hacker, they dont exist in arma2/dayz) done crap on the server.

Script kiddie shit can be fun sometimes (see attachment) but just for a moment, but when its about like teleporting stuff around the world, spawning stuff, killing everyone with just a button and other crap then I would really just want to beat his face up with a bat irl....
[/rant]


Other than that, DayZ is fun :3 and I had to kill 4 people that tried to get under mine/plums skin yesterday...

Killed 2 people that tried to ram the bus I was in, shot the passenger first, then the driver that exited.. sadly the V3S truck also blew up for some reason...
Then there was a player shooting with a makarov at one of us...
and the 4th player was a sniper (suspected for scripting! spawning stuff like night vision, DMR and whatnot). He killed 2 of us and then thought nobody was there anymore, while I was hiding in the Scrap APC, he ran to the corpses, i got out and shot him a few times.

I'll admit, some of my best gaming memories have come from DayZ. Despite being somewhat glitchy at times (or, to be fair, incredibly at times), I remember far to many adrenaline-pumping instances of staking out and prowling in the middle of the night after hearing a single shot, a passing vehicle, or even a sudden flare for it to be much of a deterrent. Also, I feel as if DayZ has a surprising, compelling amount of realism despite having pursuing zombies, ruthless bandits and fixing attack helicopters with just a toolbox and some scrap metal.

One thing that I've had a serious problem with the game, however, is how sometimes you will be betrayed and shot by certain melon-loving "friends" despite being so kind and selfless as to try to pick them up in a helicopter. I won't say any names though.

 :P
