Well if were in teamspeak and we sort of pick a destination then I assume we could meet there, however that seems a bit awkward. How did the other players (from the videos and such) do group play ? I have unlimited bandwidth and I am on a fiber optic line so maybe I could host one ? excuse my nativity in such things but is it possible to play on the host computer ?

EDIT: OK just had a look, they seem very strict on there servers so yeah were going to have to form a meet.

I went ahead and got CO for the 25% off deal.

I'd be up for the meeting and all of that shizzle if it does down.

Btw I've seen some live streams, the streamer just tells the viewers what server he's in and within 10 minutes they meet up in some location, 10+ of them. So I guess it isn't really that hard?

Easiest way to do it is usually for everyone to continuously respawn until they're close enough to Chernogorsk.

Thanks for the tip Frong.

If people are on steam then add turbanatorlevy (Don't judge, I made it back in 2004 when I was 11)

EDIT: Wow, hard game. Night is f*cking hard as hell and terrifying, sprinting through the woods with horror not far behind. My path only made clear briefly by a flailing flashlight.

I must say installation was painless.

You might already know these but anyway;

- When you spawn, look to the right hand side of the screen to see your location.
- Pair that up with one of the cities along the coast using this map.
- Everyone plays a little differently, but I never head to the main cities (Cherno/Elektro). I usually head to a barn (the green ! on the map) or a deerstand.
- I still think Kamenka is the best place to spawn. 9 deerstands and 1 barn within a 20 minute walk and no bandits!
- I've realised that having a gun really isn't that important (at least initially, anyway). Look for a water bottle, a hunting knife, an axe and some matches.

I'm keen for a meet up with everyone if we ever get a server up and running!

Well my first attempt at installing dayz was a failure, errors popping up left right and center, so I just gave up. Now I'm reinstalling ArmA and I'll see if I can get it to work.

[Triple Penetration]

Yay guys, I'm buying this game, it seems to run smooth on my laptop, even with 60 other players in MP.

So, I'll be at the meet too.

There's some really great tutorials online. I only just switched to Six Updater, and it's now incredibly easy to update the game and play it.

Is there anyone capable of setting up servers? I'm happy to pay the initial monthly cost, but I really have no experience with servers whatsoever. I found this if anyone wanted to look into it.

Well will need to contact the dayz mods to gain an instance number for the server. You also need to provude them with server host passwords to enable them to do a check of the server. Also the server needs to be speced quite high in the addition to the data charges i think thats where it gets exspensive. Allthough it would be nice to have a gtaf server its sounds like a right headache to get one working.

If there was ever one running, please don't set harsh ping restrictions. Being located in Best Coast USA I have a feeling it won't be pretty. I think most of you are located far far away from here.

The server I main on kicks anyone for ping above 100.

[oysterbarron]

I beleive i have found an instant setup one but its £60 pound a month i think there is a contribution option with it. Il hope the ping thing can be changed. My minecraft server has ended this month so i wont renew that and pump the money into this hopefully will be able to get one sorted when i get home soon.

[.Trooper.]

Finally, after a painful number of hours I got it to work.

I started by crawling around... Tried to search a small hut with a zombie in it, then he went crazy and I ran for my life to the forest lol. I turned around and saw the zombie, another survivor and a zombie chasing him. I hid behind some tree and he took out the two zombies with an axe, bandaged himself and just sat there. Had to go then so I just quit.

[oysterbarron]

ok its currently getting setup! i will let you know the progress! Iv'e paid the first month off if you would like to contribute to keep it running for longer then i beleive this link should take you to the right place.

Bear in mind the server will either be up in the next 5 mins or a days time depending on circumstances!

link down for donations will have to mess about with it!

Settings are no tags, no crosshairs and third person view, right?

(aka the best settings)

Btw, what's it called? Pretty cool of you to splurge on a server like that.

[oysterbarron]

I'm a proper noob when it comes to Arma. I go with standard viewpoint! but i think i will need a hand with buttons and the like.

I think the contribution link is setup now hopefully (crosses fingers!) Please let me know if it says no clan or some BS

The server is debranded 50 person server and is called GTAForums Dayz server, Imaginative i know!

Support the GTAForums DayZ server.

[Lightning Strike]

At this point in time I'm 36 minutes away from surviving a whole day in Day Z. I wonder, how many others have been able to do this.....

Anyway I left my campsite in the hills about an hour ago and am heading for a near-by town where a bunch of bandits have taken control, well I'm sure they won't be too happy when Sarah the sniper rifle introduces her self. I'm also hoping to collect their newly repaired bus when I've slaughtered them all.
