HEY GUYS I'VE FLOWN HELICOPTERS IN THIS GAME BEFORE AND I AM AN EXPERT. ALSO, HOW DO I START THE ENGINE?


I've been trying to get the game to work for about an hour now, is it straight up broken right now for most people? I got the walking around in an empty field bug. Beyond that, I've been waiting for the server to "respond" for far too long usually, upward of 10 minutes... is this normal or arma2 or dayz?

Are there any VOIP servers that goons are using actively?

First game:

After wondering in the woods for 2 hours with only a makorav with 8 bullets, I chanced upon a barn, a glorious barn filled with hundreds of shotgun shells in a barn loft. I dropped most of what I had, stocked up on slugs, then proceeded down the stairs, only to fall and break my legs instantly with no way to repair them. I proceeded to slowly bleed to death crawling in the middle of the road.

I'd rate this experience 5/5

THE GOONBUS VIDEO IS DONE

3 hrs of video into 7 minutes. sorry i'm so loud.

That was an amazing video, that plus astromans pictures of the before and after the massacre pictures make this game worth playing.

New update coming, 1.7, it will allegedly make loading times "near instant", which I hardly doubt will come true.

Anyway, heres the link http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=9098

Edit: It will also REQUIRE the beta patch, so all goons with problems better get them resolved

Yes, the beta patch works with steam. For some reason people need a batch or something? I have both Arma2 and OA on steam, and I dont need to do anything beyond running the installer then clicking the handy shortcut it makes for me. I think most people's problems come from mixing box copies with steam copies, although I'm not sure about that.

Plus side to beta patch: Dont need steam to run, which is handy if you happen to share accounts with Steam like I do

Goonvoy was the best tonight, very fun to actually drive around and not walk for 30 minutes to every destination. It was great until I got banned for "script detected", guess I need to turn off my leet hacks. Stupid loving battle eye

I only asked how to start the engine because I ONLY fly in the armory, where it spawns it already started :/ To be fair, I put in like 10 hours of practice solely on the UH helicopter so I would have a good feel for its controls, however I clipped a tree RIGHT after I lifted off and flipped over, not much could have been done in my defense . At least I killed hamburgers truck

I found that truck. Hamburgers just got some wheels for it.

Yes but he was butthurt about it the most when it got blown up in the ensuing hell scape that was the crashed helicopter

I'm working on that, now. I'm going to enforce the latest beta onto my server and disabling the chat channel (except direct obviously)

Dont disable chat. Being able to lure people to their deaths is awesome and must be kept possible! Side chat is the best

I actually had a random guy come up to me last night, and throw a bloodpack on the ground. He simply said, "Please help me, and I'll be on my way." I did, he said thanks, and we parted ways. I enjoyed that short and sweet encounter with another player that didn't turn into a fountain of blood and brains with bullets whizzing around. It was a nice change, and we both survived the encounter. I just find it strange that this player would trust me with such a task. I mean, he had an assault rifle, a revolver, and several types of food. I guess desperation made him take that chance, but I'm glad he ran into me rather than the fellow I'm about to describe.

On the other hand, I followed some player around for a bit, and he was shooting on sight and looting. So, after he managed a fairly nice collection off other players I popped him in the back of the head. I followed him for roughly an hour. I should have made continuous posts in the side channel, though.. "I've been following this survivor for a while now, he's ruthless. He apparently has a zero-tolerance for other survivors. Gun drawn, shoots first, never even bothers to try and make contact. He's only after supplies, but how far will that get him when he can't even notice someone like me trailing him for so long? I'll make him suffer."

I'm curious how he didnt notice you? I continuously look around while running and moving around so I can avoid people like you while I'm on my murder sprees

Whats the rationalization to take away server wide chat? How else will we be able to lure/stalk people to their doom if we cant get them to unwittingly give us their location?

I found a small boat at sea but there's no refueling option, what do I do?

e: my fuel tank sank when I went in the water, how do I make that not happen?

If it is a fishing boat you found, you will have better luck killing yourself and respawning somewhere you want than trying to use that stupid rear end fucker. you can literally WALK faster than it moves.
