DayZ, Arma2, Arma3

Kiss yourExperimental Server Chars goodbye.

Some experimental servers are live with undisclosed updates(tweaks to mouse performance,and a new city... maybe mystery town? maybe another?)

Checkin it out now

*edit*

servers are a bit slow and laggy, but I'm already seeing some new item skins and items

*EDIT2*

servers too unstable... cant stay in for more than a few minutes, and even then it's quite laggy... seems there are LOTS more zombies, and new items though.. let's hope they fix this up ASAP

in other news, I've been watching some Frankie vids... seems there's a pretty fleshed out DayZ clone on Arma 3 called Breaking point, and some other fun looking mods... anyone playing Arma 3, Breaking Point, or the other mods? any opinions?

Nemesis, have not played it myself, but i watch alot of Lirik's stream (dunno why, guy's kind of a douche) but he plays it and it looks kinda fun. Think i'll buy arma 3 to test out the different mods.

0.42.116181 has hit stable.

Looking forward to an improved version of the experimental branch I've been enjoying for several weeks.

look back on page 1.. there was, at one point, a running list of guys in our group... the group is now 48 members strong and growing.

several of us play just about daily.

So I was standing around managing my inventory on the second floor of one of the jail buildings when all of a sudden my character takes damage and it tells me that I've fractured my leg. Everything that was in my pants is now ruined as well. Awesome. I doubt it's a new bug, but it's never happened to me before and it's still annoying as hell. I wish I was carrying some wooden sticks so I could make a splint.

THIS right here is why i always carry a splint with me now the moment i have 'stuff' to lose.

Morphine works the same as a splint and takes up less inventory space.

started playing this last weekend and have been enjoying it... since the patch though i am really having to pay attention for zombies while in towns. Its a good change but i think the respawn rate of the zombies needs some tweaking

Oh and anyone else having problems finding magazines for pistols? I have no problems finding them for the M4 but i have yet to find a magazine for the 1911... despite the fact i have found 4 1911's

yet i can make a splint fairly easily, i find 10 epi pens before i find morphine generally, even in hospitals :/ (my luck i guess)

and zombie spawns are still nowhere near where they will be once they fix the AI so they don't aggro you from 500 yards away, lol

Jails, and I mean actually inside the jail room itself, OR the head inside the barracks, seem to be the best places to find them.

*edit*
Some sort of hotfix came out today.

Twitter / rocket2guns: Please note: all DayZ servers ...

I think it's been mislabeled on the changelog website, but these appear to be some of the new features being tested in experimental branch:

New
New zombie animations in testing (they are considerably faster). We will be engaging with the community to decide if these new animations result in the zombies being too fast.

Fixed
Hotfix to address issues associated with severe lag and desync for many players.
Servers now support accelerated time as a configurable option. This results in faster day/night cycle.

::Edit::

LOL anyone else notice that Fyz is In-Game in Dayz like 24/7? I think he boots up, starts the game, then goes afk for a week...

Fyz has 185.6 hours past 2 weeks, 553 hrs on record (DayZ)

was he from the board? or someone we met in game? one of Jendryk's adopted minions?

I'm wondering how everybody feels about the new T-1000 speed zombies and their practically instant respawns?
