Thanks. I am already using that map now.

I can't accept the invites coz steam won't load the page.

No need, just die and respawn a new one I think.

I realise my character also changed when I switched servers.

Lol impossible sinc ethe map so big. I'm trying to head north to a airstrip somewhere. Maybe can meet up somewhere up there.

oK finally got my bearings, I'm at the north easter air strip near olsha.

Open that map and find the small village of olsha, there is an airstrip near it. I'm near there now.

Can't really tell as I never played warz.

But from both youtube videos looks similar.

Dayz of course is based on the arma engine which is more realistic looking and hell of a lot clumsy in terms of interface.

Welcome to dayz

Anyway if you still want to meet up, i'm still near the airstrip at the north east near the village of olsha. #133 #024 on the map in the link.

Logged out to pee and have a short break.

Bro are you online, I already added you in steam from the invite u sent me.

So far, Dayz standalone got no vehicles. Still Alpha and they will be adding things slowly. As of right now, the game is very basic in terms of items available.

Game is available for 29.99 USD. Which comes to above RM100, almost like a new game price although it is still in Alpha stage.

Buying now is like supporting the development, the actual completed game will cost more than the current price, Steam Sale not taken into account. So keep that in mind, this is an incomplete game. There are plenty of warnings given in the games Steam Store page.

Looks like my character got wiped. Haiz.

Well this is dayz alpha.

Crowd sourcing. Since Dayz has a lot of fans, it's easy to finance the development without the putting a financial strain on the company. It's like getting investors to pour in money for you even before the product is out.

North, near Gvozdno. East of Devil's castle.

My server is a bit problematic since 15 minutes, already kicked us out once.

Yes you are right, it is still considered Alpha. Its playable, but still a lot of features missing.

Character wipes are quite common I heard. SG servers pretty good, Max is 40 players per server but mostly only 20-30 online. Currently only 11 in my server. Last night peak hour saw about almost 20-35 for most servers.

I normally log in to the DayZ SG 1-26. Today server was a bit bonkers, restarted 3 times while I was playing and the last time it stop, I could't find it on the server list so I called it a day.

For graphics I suggest you guys turn off the clouds. I got a good improvement after I did that. In fact most of my settings I've set low and the game still looks beautiful. This game is not to look good, its to survive so I turned off or set low most of the graphic options so I can have smooth gameplay.

Add me and we can roam.


This morning managed to play a few hours.

My character from the night before got wiped, really proud of that one but was completely defenseless other than a splitting axe.

Now my new character already got most of the supplies, just need to find an M4 and military outfits.

Also learned to use a compass. Must be 1st person view to view it, 3rd person view can't use it. (Press Enter to change your view)

Yeah, I can vouch for fireaxe, 1 hit kill on zombies regardless where you hit them.

Since I got it, I just charge zombies in towns and village and 1 hit them so I can loot in peace.

Currently playing with an AMD 640 and a HD5750. Which is pretty minimum for this game.

Open inventory and right click> use bandage.

Or put it to your quickbar, press the quick bar number, use mouse scroll to select action. Press your mouse mid button (scroll) to activate action. (your possible actions with the item is listed on the top left hand of your screen)

You can also tear your tshirt into rags to use as bandage if you have not found one yet.

Until you die, I think the character stays the same.

You can change your character in the starting screen and then set it as default, so it will stay the same whenever you die.

Does anyone own a Teamspeak server that LYN standalone players can use?

Lol, yeah I had the same pening feeling the first time I played it.

You have to adjust your field of view to max. Set your motion blur to zero.

I fiddle with this a few times and no more motion sickness. I find that as long as the game is smooth, its harder to get motion sickness and the field of view slider helps a lot.
