DayZ, Arma2, Arma3

Gonna have to wait till next week for apatch.

Branch:
Experimental
ETA:
Monday 20 January 2014, AM
Description:

This build is being tested on experimental branch, and contains a number of fixes and changes that have been in preparation for the last two weeks. Please note that we do not expect that this build will be quickly posted to stable branch as we anticipate at least one more update will occur to Experimental prior to being pushed to stable. Only a limited number of servers will be running this version, so be aware slots may be limited. Once we have confirmed this build is functioning correctly we will announce more information about the release to stable branch.

What are experimental/stable branches?
In your steam application settings, you can choose a "beta branch". This allows you to opt in to our experimental branch to try it out.

Does my saved character get affected in experimental branch?
No. It runs on a different database, so any changes will not affect your character on stable branch.

I can't find a slot while on experimental branch!
Only a small number of servers run this branch. You will need to change your game back to the stable branch and play on a normal server

Can I join a stable branch server wil experimental branch client?
No, you would need to change your client back to stable.

When will this be in stable?
We expect stable to be updated before the end of that week (by Friday 24 January 2014).

Quick thoughts.
Saline got hit with the nerf bat.
M4's are gonna be harder to find.
Shotguns are not going to be spawned already sawed off. (assuming because of stated recipe req in the notes)
New food with the berries.
Glad they lowered the .357 spawn rate.
Does this defib change mean we can bring people back that are dead and haven't respawned yet?
Five new zombie types? Wonder if they are going to have military gear on them and are lootable.

I would imagine they would do something like that, and also you have to wash the berries before consumption to wash away any parasites.

I am also gonna guess that the new town of Svetloyarsk will behere. Especially since the east coast needs a reasons or two to stay on that side of the map.

Another guess here, I wonder if the lowering of the M4 spawns means they are just removing them from the schools. Jails, military tents, barracks, hangars, and control towers will still have them.

Do we have a time frame for this showdown tongiht?

Btw Nemesis, i found out that to manage ammo in the box you don't need to drop it on the floor, just put it in your hands.

Pontius, that's the first thing I told you.

You don't have to drop an ammo can to manage ammo within. However, you can currently only access the top row of ammo, so to access the full can you have to drop it.

That's the problem.

You guys are making this game sound fun.

I've never had so much fun with a game that was clearly not ready to be played.

Helldiver_sl said:

The way Muurloen is playing the game is really the way to do it currently. If I die and can't get my shit back think I'm gonna be run and gun as well.

@Muurloen, Even before you bagged the one dude, I could have sworn I wasn't on for more than 30 minutes and you already had an M4.

Yeah running and gunning is fun, but very reckless way to play. However, when you don't have much to lose to begin with, the gamble and payoff is well worth it.

As always, the element of surprise was key in me taking out that one dude of that group of 3 and forced the other two to crap their pants enough to where they combat logged. They were also idiots for not having someone assigned as a close quarter guard to protect other two sniping. I wouldn't have come close in ambushing them if they had someone standing guard.

I know what you are thinking though, "Standing watch will be boring as shit and those that are doing the sniping are having all of the fun". I would disagree. If you are in a hotbed area, someone is going to come for your sniper friends. Providing a little overwatch for them will keep them alive and you will get a kill or two yourself.

Btw... if I didn't love my River City Ransom avatar, I'd definitely swap to that pic from Commando.

Do we have a time frame for this showdown tonight?

Click to expand...

I think we are aiming for around 6pm-6:30pm CST.

K im geared up and camped out in town 5 mins from the NE airstrip.

I'll be logging on in an hour (6pm CST). Will grab food/drink until we get 3-4 people online and then start figuring out where everyone is and getting our gameplan set.

I'm just north of Berezino in a tree line.

Had a blast tonight, sucks we didn't run into more people and combat logging really ruins the entire experience.

Screenshots incoming.

Freedom panties!


Creepy


Taken right after Wrathcaster raped this guy.

HEY! *I'M* the one that made his butt bleed...

I axed pissflaps to put him out of his misery when he was getting raped by a zombie, and I axed this corpse and made his bumbum leak human juice

but sure.. give all the credit to Jendryk

In fairness, I didn't rape the corpse. I raped the motorcycle helmet guy. Being accused of being too kind is an insult I simply cannot abide.

Don't Ever Call Me Too Kind

This is the sniper who brought everything to a screeching halt at Balota.

Sniper in the Elevator

He managed to nail yellow rain jacket while he was running from a distance of 400 meters or so and damn near popped Maple and myself while we took cover. Props to him.

My plan technically worked- Maple suppressed him with his mosin long enough to take the sniper out of the equation, but the suppression worked too well. Dude combat logged once he realized he couldn't get off the roof without ghosting.

Sorry for not making it back online- my connection took a gigantic shit after 6 hours of streaming. That's not even taking into account that I accidentally set FRAPS to record on my OS SSD that only had 10 gigs free when we started. I had a fun time dealing with that and trying to save the footage. Still, I'd say the crusade was overall a success... We might not have met that many people, but we ran the gamut of every major city without taking a casualty and without leaving a single survivor. It kind of went to hell at Balota, but that was pretty much inevitable- and in the end we ran off the attacking squad and scared away the sniper.

Hope everyone had as much of a blast as I did. I'm amazed we didn't all murder each other before moving 1000 meters with 12 people in a single TS3 channel. That was... interesting once the shooting started.

And just so you know, Freedom Panties, you are a goddamned American hero for your selfless efforts in braving the Elektro fire station and taking point in your bright blue star spangled undies.
