ooooohhhhhh yeah. Cool

My son recently, like yesterday, started playing Fortnight. I watched a few games and thought "wow this would be so much cooler if it was more realistic". I then thought, "I miss DayZ."

Lo and behold. The spirit craves and the 1and0 gods answer. This will only end in pain and regret. Bring it on.


Thanks Arc! and others.

Ahhh Nice to stretch ones legs again. As the server gets spun up again I've wandered a little.

Found some of my old stuff and cruised on down to Mowgli to shoot a few zombies. My only experience with DayZ has been on the previous iteration of this server. I have since discovered that the default Zombie setting is sprint. This I discovered almost too late...Did you know a pissed off zombie will stay on your heels for quite a while?

Just a bump to ensure that this thread doesn't go gently. Those were the days, boys, those were the days!

It is unlikely that another game can or will even get close to the shenanigans herein.

Was listening to this podcast the other night at work and it really hit home. I never played Rust, but it's still all true. Gave me some laughs.

"What are you doing, man?"

"Nothing. Just riding my bicycle to a Russian military camp with a couple suitcases of gold to buy some guns. And an armored Land Rover. And a rocket launcher."

"That's cool. Do you know who wrecked all of our parked helicopters and vehicles in the courtyard?"

"No man, but really, it was inevitable. Who parks all that shit so close together.

The weather outside today is very DayZ. Cloudy and cold, some fog rolls in, the air is sharp, a bunch of Russians wandering around because that's the kind of drivers the company I work for hires. Ah, memories.

That was a mistake, but let us know how broken it still is.

Wished I had seen this video before I bought it. It seems that if you find the right server on Standalone it isn't that bad.

Oh man. When I was working the lumber yard working receiving processed lumber I used to joke to my boss the drivers next stop was to drop off crates of AKs. Was told not to mention that around them.

Years later I was loading outbound freight.Last lift truck driver as the plant was closing. Frown

Some big Eastern European got out of his truck and peeled off his shirt. It was a sunny day, the guy was easily 300 lbs. Stood there taking in the sun (as we have many sunny days).

Looked like a fucking grizzly standing there with all the body hair.

Fucking loved those guys.

Got many more stories of animals and stained tighty whightys I could tell.

Needless to say, the trucking industry is full of "diversity"

Installed standalone.

Freezes while making a character, can't alt+tab out or anything. Restart.

Get in a server, run around a few minutes, freeze. Can't alt+tab out or anything. Restart.

Welcome to DayZ.

So now I'm drinking and playing Titanfall 2.

Been feeling very wistful for the days of scavving for beans, and toting my Enfield around some ComBloc wasteland, hoping to stumble upon a Funbulance.
