phil bottle reacted to Harrison in My first life
Spawned in Balota which in hindsight is in incredibly good spawn. After looting a few houses I spotted a Hanger in the distance so I made my way towards that. After approaching carefully, I made my way through each and every bunker room finding, not one, not two, not three but FOUR M4A1's!
But no Ammo.
Fuck.
I made my way across the airfield to inspect the buildings opposite and I found a nice bit of Ammo for my M4 and some green gear so now I blend in a bit better.
Moving further forward I was feeling thirsty so I crouched down to check my inventory jsut outside of a town. During this period I got slapped by a zombie causing me to bleed, a lot.
I logged out near death and under a staircase.

Thanks for the info guys! I've picked up the Arma 2 collection with the DayZ mod and will leave the £20 alpha until a much later date. Even the producers are recommending people NOT to buy the standalone at present despite selling about 200k copies lol!

phil bottle got a reaction from Diddums in Mod or Pre-Alpha?
The Mod is its best right now, Razor and the other mods have put a lot of effort into making it playable.... and I haven't come across a scripter/hacker for at least 6 months

I haven't played the Standalone myself, but I browse the forums a fair bit and based on that my recommendation would be to get Combined Operations and play the mod for a bit whilst the SA evolves a bit more. As Dylan says, buildings are currently very restricted, there are no vehicles, you can fall randomly unconscious, etc etc. It's just not anywhere near a polished product at the moment.
I spend an hour or so playing the mod recently, after a hiatus of about 6 months and it's progressed in leaps and bounds. Last time I played it it was a bit of a mess but excusable. Now it's almost feeling like a well rounded and developed game. Of course it's not perfect, but it's probably much more enjoyable than the SA at the moment.
Given that Combined Operations is only 8.49 on Steam, I'd go for that.

phil bottle got a reaction from J4MES OX4D in DayZ Standalone
I still play the mod at least once or twice a week, it's one of the reasons I switched from console gaming, and upgraded my laptop to a decent desktop

Hey guys, can this be set up? So we can talk things DayZ related?
I played the mod a lot as a lone wolf (well mostly anyway) and I'm up for teaming-up in the standalone.
I think Diddums is up for it too

phil bottle reacted to J4MES OX4D in DayZ Standalone
If anyone is familiar with DayZ; here's footage of the pre-alpha build in action http://mp1st.com/2013/11/15/nearly-10-minutes-raw-unedited-pre-alpha-dayz-standalone-footage/?utm_source=slider
This mod has become so popular, it's getting a full release and is likely to appear on the next gen of consoles at some stage.
Still lots of work to be done but great to see it is coming along quite nicely

phil bottle reacted to BO7H B4RRELS in Demoralization in video games
Reckless, thoughtful, and in the zone are perfect man. I know exactly what you mean. Reckless is when I'm not paying attention to spawns/details. Thoughtful can go both ways. Sometimes I over think and I die to indecisiveness or my planning works out and I have a decent game. Being in the zone is when I don't need to think about spawns, I just feel them changing and automatically start moving that direction picking and popping everything in my way. The maps/spawns are still too new to me to really get in the zone at this point. I have moments, but not really in the zone.
-
phil bottle reacted to Diddums in Demoralization in video games
Yep, makes perfect sense.
I find I have three modes though, reckless, thoughtful, and "in the zone". The latter seems to be when I'm just in full form, everything going perfectly. It's also usually when I'm playing solo, and anyone who's ever played with this lot will know why.

I got bored with BLOPS2 because it was pretty much too easy... (me and my Chicom FTW).....but I'm liking Ghosts so far because I don't know the maps yet and from I what I've seen (only played a few hours so far) I do like the new maps, they're an improvement on recent games.
I have 2 state of minds usually, reckless and thoughtful, how I play depends upon which one is in the ascendancy.
Usually if I'm vocally quiet it means I'm concentrating on that very conflict.
^does any of that make any sense? my brain has taken a beating today so I don't know what crap I'm writing.
Think I'll jog on at 4pm
