DayZ Standalone Catch-All: It's getting cold out here!

*sigh* I'd be happy if it was at least the end of next month. With RS2014, BF4,CoD:Ghosts all my gaming time is taken up right now.

In my world Dayz > all so I will make time.

This.

First thing I'm gonna do once I get in the game is turn that motion blur off. Holy hell that's a lot.

New cherno is really impressive

It does look pretty great although I fear that people are falling out of touch with the game. I hope that changes once the game is actually released in some form.

I am some... the constant pushing gets annoying. I'll pick back up when they push the alpha out on Steam.

I can't help but feel that this ship may have already sailed for me. I plunged over 250 hours into the mod wihtout a hitch, but it's been so long that I'm not sure how easily I would slip back into that frame of mind.

I'll probably still pick it up as a reward for the mod in the first place, and just hope that it rekindles some of those original feelings before it just became a hacker/sniper fest.

It sure does look purdy though..

We'll see, I'm somewhat optimistic because they took all this time to completely re-engineer their network code so it's more MMO-like in order to prevent hacking. It also seems like there will be a stronger focus on survival, with guns and ammo being more scarce as well as suffering degradation. If you shoot someone you damage their items. You don't find full blood bags now, you have to fill them with blood from another player and your blood types have to be compatible. Maybe that's taking it too far but some of that stuff could turn out to be pretty cool.

It's crazy what a bit of ambient music will do for the mood (foul language)

I am 100% in when the game releases.

The wait is annoying, but it's not like anything else is delivering the same experience.

All I care about is that they get it right.

I'm with *Legion*

And is top seller on Steam at the moment. It will be interesting to see how long it holds that position.

Whoa... there goes my productivity for the week.

The ALPHA is out (pretty grim suicide and executions in the trailer in case you're sensitive)

$30 was a little more than I thought it would be but whatever

Yeah, but I feel that I got >220 hours out the mod which, apart from Arma itself, was free, so I owe them it. Just downloading sooo slowly for me :/

downloading now!

Woot! Downloading now. Anyone hopping in vent tonight?

I'll be giving BF4 a break for this. I've already hit 100 and too many hours in that already anyway.

My buddy and I nabbed this, but the rest of our former dayz gang are either burnt out, or broke. Might need to see if we can get on at the same time as some of you good folks? Language can get a bit.... colourful (hey, in Scotland, swearing is akin to breathing....), but if you may be up for a little get together, and time zones aren't too crazy, let me know?

lol ever in the channel with Gumbie and I?

Nope

I just didn't want the fainthearted to get a shock

So, my buddy is a non-goojer, but can still get on vent, right? I've only played with a goojer once, on a different game, so that's gotta change, right?

Yea no problem. Happens all the time, and yea must change!

Lot of people fussing about the 30$ price tag on the Steam forums. Arma3 was 30$ so that's what expected out of this when they announced a similar launch pattern. Was there ever a mention of a lower price?

I mentioned the $30 as well. I'm not complaining because DayZ is awesome but I didn't think they would start that high.

Doesn't even seem like there's zombies in the game. Hell, do zombies need to be in the game when it's the people who are the bigger assholes?
