re: Anyone still playing Dayz?

tl;dr post
NoZ and I played for six hours, much improved, no ammo, will play again



Bumped to say that NoZ and I talked about DayZ Saturday, so I messaged him at lunch and we got on around noon or so. It was us two and my younger cousin, playing the actual standalone

We geared up pretty quickly, and even after a couple hours we were still improving weapon systems and camos. Rescued my cousin in Stary only for NoZ to pass out four feet from the well from dehydration. He was hacked to death while I was searching for an Epi pen.

Met up again, regeared, and literally searched for hours just to find 7.62x51 ammo for my Winchester 70 or Blaise. Found .380, .45, 5.45x39, 7.62x39, 7.62x54R, 9x19x24(the stuff for the VSS?)
Never found x51. Searched multiple police stations, multiple crashed helis, barracks, towns, military bases. Finally died at the end of the day at the NWA looking in the hangars, two guys got us trying to make a speed run through.

Overall, enjoyed it. Apparently the next big patch is going to improve things like loot spawn and rendering all the loot, its supposed to come in the next couple weeks I think. Hope to get back it this week. Going to suck it up and use the SVD or Mosin to snipe until I chance upon some x51.

Edited for NoZ

fixed

Keep my name out of your mouth!!

That's because you sucked at survival

Finding loot is all relative to where you spawn and if anyone has already been through there and picked all the good stuff.

I usually never loot the first town I spawn in. Instead head inland and start looking in the smaller towns.

My mannnnn. Was thinking about you the other day. That time we tried to smuggle drugs across the border in arma3 life.

It's pretty easy to find just about anything but certain ammo and mags. New loot spawns every 30 minutes.

Also, Sacriel said helicopters spawn three at a time for 30 minutes each at any of the random 70+ possible crash sites

I don't recall us having much trouble getting M4A1's and ammo when it first released.

Granted it was like one of 3 guns at the time.

Also, work is canceled tomorrow, I'm going to get breakfast in the morning and play until the power gets knocked out if anyone is interested

I'm almost to the point of telling people to wait until .60 hits, but either way it's much improved and it's going to be better soon. I don't think it'll ever be finished, but it's the most rewarding and exciting PVP game ever
