A few of us are attempting to meet up and proceed inland, we talk on skype and are recording for youtube. Let us know if you want in.
Helpful Tips:
HOW TO SWITCH PACKS
Remove any items from around the pack you want to pick up.
Click your current pack in your inventory.
"Drop" your current pack.
Scroll over the new pack with your mouse wheel, and select, "Take --- Pack" (the new one)
Now, "Open" your old pack lying on the ground, and transfer your gear to your new pack.
Pack Sizes
Czech Vest Pouch (6 slots)
Coyote Patrol Pack (8 slots)
Assault Pack (12 slots)
Czech Backpack (16 slots)
ALICE Pack (20 slots)
Coyote Backpack (24 slots)
Right click is your friend
You DO NOT spawn in together. Your spawn is displayed for a couple seconds in the bottom right hand corner of the screen. It is the SECOND line, the top line is simply the name of the island, Chernarus. Use the map to link up from there.
Once you leave one server, you respawn in the exact spot you were, with all your gear, in the next. If you die, you lose everything and respawn in another random location on the coast. If you meet up, then all disconnect together, you can all connect to a new server and still be together in the map.
The second row of words are in russian and should be ignored.
Running through buildings with two sets of doors will lose the zombies chasing you...if you do it correctly. Bring Zombies into a two story or more building and they walk upon entry, allowing you to melee kill them with hatchets or shoot them.
Dont wait in a building holding loot for your friends to find you. That was my mistake. Cost me very, very dearly, not only my life, but countless rounds of ammunition and a sniper rifle.
You can server hop at a loot point and rack up loot, but if you stay too long, you may find someone else there, and they may beat you to the draw.
Will update as we continue to play.

I knew you were going to start a thread like this.

You forgot to mention it didn't kill me and the guy then drug my body forever. I think he was sodomizing me so I killed myself to save me the anguish.

I sent this link to my roommate. Got a text just now: "OK. We're getting day z".
Posted on 6/21/12 at 1:42 pm to RATeamWannabe
quote:damn this looks tight as hell. wanna get. plan on getting soon
Here are the Day 1 highlights: Oh shite!
anybody know if this will be in the steam summer sale? or where to find a list of the games that will be in that sale? is arma/dayZ worth getting now, or do i need to wait till it gets out of alpha phase?
Posted on 6/21/12 at 2:41 pm to RATeamWannabe
I'm hoping ArmA II goes on sale during the Steam sale, then I'm in.

ill join up with you guys. ill be playing damn near every night till i get tired of the game. not sure how quick i can meet up though. whats the easiest way to get a map in game? right now ive been flying blind without one, so getting to bor or wherever to meet up will be a chore. not sure what server your on either...
on a side note i was doing the server switch respawn for loot last night in a barn and did it a few times an racked up on the loot. a larger pack would come in damn useful. anyway a couple odd things did happen while server switching. on one of the servers i switched to the barn i had been in was burned/tore down. i didnt realize buildings could be destroyed. i spawned, and was like wtf the barn go?? then the last time i spawned, a guy came across my speakers and said 'your spawning in now, im right above you' he was sitting at the top of the stairs with his shotgun trained on me i was like 'oh shite, im dead' he said 'were not gonna have any trouble are we' i said nope, and he said good i dont want to kill ya. i was sweating bullets till he said that then i thought about killing him, but karmas a bitch. proceeded to verify that he had already taken all the loot worth a damn, then called it a night. oh yea i broke my leg, am i for sure sol, or is there hope?

I'm really hoping this goes on sale so I can join in.
Posted on 6/30/12 at 10:42 pm to RATeamWannabe
So this isn't available for mac, right?
Posted on 7/1/12 at 4:22 pm to RATeamWannabe
This is probably a stupid question but would This computer and This computer run Day Z good? Considering getting one but I wanna make sure that I can play this. Don't know shite about computers.
Posted on 7/3/12 at 7:47 pm to RATeamWannabe
Can't stop looking at videos of this. I really need to stop because when I can finally play the game my expectations will be so high I wont enjoy it.
Posted on 7/13/12 at 1:13 am to RATeamWannabe
ok I got to play a little. do you start out with a pistol? I saw a video where you did but I couldn't figure it out for the life of me
Posted on 7/19/12 at 7:39 am to RATeamWannabe
The videos are awesome, killed a lot of time at work yesterday laughing at those. Downloaded Arma2Free and then picked up OA off a site for $13 as suggested at another forum, and got everything installed last night and working. I didn't log much playtime, but yeah, I could see this being addictive.
Posted on 7/22/12 at 2:30 pm to RATeamWannabe
Anyone who wants a ride get on now we have a truck.
Posted on 7/23/12 at 5:16 pm to RATeamWannabe
This has probably been done/asked somewhere in this thread, but figured I'd ask.
I bought both Arma 2 and OA, just to play Day Z, but like a retard, I ran the Day Z patch updater before launching OA through steam. Now I get 8/10 of the checkboxes in steam indicating readiness, then it just closes and doesn't launch. Anyone run into this and have a fix? Thanks.
