DayZ Survivor Diaries

[QuietOne]

I thought I would create a topic where you can write a mini diary or experience on DayZ.

I will start.

QuietOne's Diary

9/1/2014

I have been alive for 4 days now, in good health with plenty of food and drinks. Today I stumbled upon a shipwreck about a mile from the town I was in. The ship had around four or five levels on it to explore. One half of the ship didn't really have anything, just T-shirts which I tore into rags and a couple of masks.

As for the other half, There were food, two can openers, ammo and I even came across a Magnum! Sadly when I found the Magnum my mind must have gone blank because now I don't have it anymore (Bloody server effed me over, forced me to logout and back in again) But luckily I came across a Mosin on the top deck.

I have around 25 bullets for the Mosin but if I make them count then hopefully I can survive this cruel and hostile place. I have been pretty lucky with encounters as I have only encountered one survivor who was hurt but wasn't bleeding. I offered him a can of Soda then went our separate ways.

If I wake up tomorrow then I shall go back to the shipwreck and find that Magnum which disappeared on me. I have around 60 rounds for it and I really don't want to ditch them.

I will eat some beans for dinner and drink some water then try and sleep.
Good night.

QuietOne.


Sorry, I suck at writing diaries but there's mine.

I've played so much of dayZ I just don't play it seriously anymore and I love trying to break the game .

I'm guessing nobody survived?

People are too busy waiting for the countdown when they server hop or combat log

I'm on my 3rd day now, I've managed to get an M4 with acog scope and 721 rounds, I am fully kitted out in army gear and a large backpack. I am working in a group of 4, we have travelled to the north west airbase and had a few encounters along the way, some harmless, others not so much, 3 of us are sane and try help others but the 4th is loosing it a bit and loves to chase people down, either crippling them with a shot to the legs and slowly killing them or handcuffing them and forcing them to drink bleach.

Calllllllllllllled it. They started with the wrong engine arguably (honestly I'd have said frostbyte would have been a better engine). I know they'd have to have stuck with bohemia but they honestly should have used the latest engine that Bohemia made, not on what was basically the take on helicopters one (a mix of arma 2 and 3).

yeah i still don't get why they didn't use the latest engine, hmmm i don't even know what t say about this anymore other than i am disappointed

They just need to implement mod support before Rocket leaves and then the community will take care of the rest, just like with the current dayz mod.

Ontop of some cpu optimisation. Although thats mostly Bohemia's fault for not being fussed about DayZ bar being a cash cow.

yeah cpu optimization would be great, really dont think its going to happen though. as you said i think its just going to be a easy cash cow for them from here on out

with my rig theres not much i can do to achieve more than 30fps, i can change things and gain 1 or 2 fps at sacrifice of the game looking nice, so i settle for 30fps which seems good enough to play for me.

I've heard vehicles are coming soon, which will be a welcome addition considering how long it takes to travel currently. However, i REALLY hope they dont use the same vehicle controls as arma 3, the land vehicles in arma 3 are absolutely horrible. I drive with combination of mouse and keyboard steering in arma 2 / dayz mod, which gives me a very nice feel for the car, even if their physics are weird. i watch the steering wheel position which allows me to very smoothly control the car. Every casual arma 2 player on earth went on forums complaining that the mouse made their car steer, when theres a simple fix as easy as just double tapping ALT, or plain unbinding the function! because of this, mouse steering is impossible in arma 3, ive tried bouncing around the settings but the mouse steering is very very slow and absolutely pointless to use. and now the steering wheels have 180 degrees of rotation, absolute opposite of realistic. the arma 2 wheels spun around a few times giving plenty of room for actually controlling your steering, meanwhile arma 3 i just hit every tree.

TLR Arma 3 ground vehicle control sucks, i really hope its not in dayz.
