Pretty good, although all me and Huwa could find was a baseball bat, axe, wrench, shovel, motorbike helmet, grey sweater, beanie cap, some bullets and rotten fruit... most of the buildings were empty :P

How is the feeling of the game, like aiming and walking around. Is it just like dayz on arma 2 or is it different?

So I was playing the game minding my own business exploring, found some minor loot (crowbar, gloves,tuna), then I found a small dock. I walked down the dock and walked back but I fell off the side and the game froze and it said I was dead. I couldn't stop laughing for some reason, lol.

Its just like playing Arma 3 but with the controls shaken up a little.

It looks pretty good and if I wasn't all DayZ'ed out, I'd probably be playing it with you guys. I wonder if they will allow mods like Epoch and Origins. My real beef with the whole DayZ game was it was turning into a deathmatch instead of survival due to people shooting on sight and lack of honor like there use to be in the beginning when DayZ was first released. Some of the mods really changed that and forced teamplay with either really strong AI or benefits from working as a team with base building like Origins. But it still didn't stop the influx of the kiddies from the Call of Duty/Battlefield line of games who wanted to kill on sight. That's what Wasteland was for imo. I really hope they addressed that in this standalone, else it's going to end the up the same way. And the only way to make it so is to make zombies stronger and add AI that will hunt you down like players. That will force people to work together to survive.

And you have to remember, that the original DayZ for ARMA II was still basically an Alpha release that just grew really popular.

Well my computer isn't even worth 5$ so this sucks...

I still might buy it though for when I get a new computer because I have 30$, should I? I mean, if I don't get a new computer then I would've wasted 30$ but, I think I might get one because the specs are terribad, trust me you wouldn't want to know them.

You'll save money on buying it when its in alpha! Once alpha is done it'll be full price!

Actually found out I might not be getting a PC so I might as well post specs and see if you lovely people could help me out because i suck with this shit, all I know is it's pretty bad.

CPU: Pentium Dual-Core E5400 @2.70GHz (2CPUs)

GPU: ATI Radeon HD 4300/4500 series

2 GB of ram (I know that's the minimum.)

I just wanted to see if I could at least run it on lowest graphical settings. Probably won't get it yet if I can't.

Really, 2 gb ram? I'm surprised you can run windows :P
This is for the mod. i don't think the game requires that much more.

OS: Windows XP or Windows Vista
Processor: Intel Core 2.4 GHz or AMD Dual-Core Athlon 2.5 GHz
Memory: 1GB
Graphics: Nvidia Geforce 8600GT or ATI Radeon 3650 or faster with Shader Model 3 and 512 MB VRAM
DirectX®: DirectX 9.0c

You would obviously need more ram as windows will take up some of it and the recommended graphics cards are pretty cheap now, I'd just get an up to date gaming PC.

This. RAM is pretty cheap and a decent graphics card isn't too bad depending on the brand. I run an ATI and have never had any issues with it on any game. There are a lot of Christmas deals going on now, take advantage of them and upgrade your computer. But if you are looking to buy a new computer outright, newegg has some good prices, especially if you want to just build your own computer.

Edit: Just looked at your processor, I'm surprised people still use dual cores for gaming, I think my phone has more processing power hue hue hue.

But seriously, you might just want to get a new computer, Windows 7 and 8 suck up a retarded amount of RAM but with 2 cores, you are going to run into some serious issues me thinks. Like I said, if you want to keep the price down, go AMD. While its not as good at gaming as Intel, mine ran ARMA 2 on High which is probably good enough to run DayZ. I think the total cost of my computer from Newegg was around $750 with Windows 8.

This 100 times.

Windows itself is a heavy-demanding system, with what you have, you will have a lot of annoyance playing the game.

Windows will already be using an average of 1-2GB RAM and 1GHz of your CPU.

Oh and don't forget all the programs you are running on the background that could use a lot of resources (and the ones you don't even know you are running).

20 Dec 2013, 02:25pm
Yeah and to add I'm using like six of my eight gigabytes of RAM while running DayZ (Highest settings) including skype, chrome and everything else and even steam which uses too much in my opinion. SteamOS is meant to fix that because it's an OS just for gaming so it doesn't take up ram like windows does, but I wouldn't get that as I don't think any games are even on it yet and we don't know if it will even be the standard OS for gaming yet.

Found a comp for around the same price as the Xbone, some specs:

Intel(R) Core (TM) i7 CPU 860 2.80 GHz
16.0 GB Ram DDR3
AMD Radeon HD 6870 1024 MB memory
931GB HHD

I might get it for christmas, it's either that or an Xbone.

Surprisingly, i thought i would grow wings out of my ass and fly into the sun before i ever enjoy playing DayZ again.
But i'll admit i had tons of fun playing this.


Was travelling to Zelenogorsk with a fellow bambi, when 7 guys came out of nowhere with M4's.
Expecting them to murder us horribly for no reason, they asked if we wanted to join their "Town"
Basically these 7 guys were part of a 10-14 man group who had a base in Zelenogorsk taking in new players and the like.
Was weird and amazing to see how they had guard post around the center of Zelenogorsk. They would send groups out to collect weapons and gear from the nearby military camp, while the others protected their huge food stash.

So instead of server hopping to get gear, kill bambi's and other players just for the sake of pvp. They actually started a huge group and made a "functioning town" which to say, had me regain hope in DayZ again!

Got some cool stuff from them. Fucking M4 with bipod! BIPOD!

A small solution to that problem is using a Game Booster like Razer's.. I use it on my laptop ^^

Game booster interrupts programs running in the background from using more resources than needed, what it does not do is touch Windows background processes other than maybe explorer.exe and a couple of other unessential processes.

It could help a bit, but for his system I doubt it would be much. Never hurts to try tho.

Even with terrible specs, you can still get the game running decent, at least decent to me. I run it from 17-23 FPS on a Nvidia 9500 GT and an AMD Dual Core. There are a lot of guides out there that will really help. Although, if you are expecting anything more, upgrade will be only option.

Had quite the night.

The red line at Chernogorsk is where it all started. Me and two friends are chasing someone who wouldn't stop, chased him along the red line until we hit the trees, turns out he ran to his friends who killed my two friends, I managed to kill the guy we chased and his friend however.

Green Line -
Ran back to Balota Airstrip, met my two friends in the middle (we were just fucking about at this point) of the airstrip, one of my friend gets sniped and immediately dies.

Orange Line -
I run for the trees slightly North, my friend who is alive is at the tree line where the yellow line starts he has spotted the enemy.

Yellow Line -
Turns out five guys spotted as they sniped our friend, my friend stays in the trees while I go onto the airstrip to flank them, we take them all out.

Blue Line -
We decide to go back to Cherno and we met our other friend again and decided to leave it there.

Out of all the guys we killed, they all left straight away so they wouldn't lose anything.

Bunch of friends got me to play this a few days ago, and I've had a blast doing so.

As for stories.. Last night;
We were on a Airstrip, and we spotted someone running around the corner, we caught up, shouting on voice for them to get on the ground, or we will shoot. They complied, and two members of our group started looting them. When they used their mic, we thought it was a kid because of their voice, but upon further investigation it turned out to be a 17 year old female player, and one of our group wanted to let her go. We gave her back some supplies, and told her to run, and keep running. Unfortunately, two other people in the group started shooting her as she skipped through the field, and managed to down her. She ended up dying.

I recorded the entire thing with ShadowPlay. I'll be uploading it after some heavy editing. (The footage has my private chats.)

Wasn't supposed to record this, it's ShadowPlay footage.
This is also why it has so much steam overlay shit.

The voice echo is probably because Jim was using his speakers.
