one of the videos i watched said the servers are real time. So if you play on a server where its night time, you will be at night. The vid also said that your player will save and carry from server to server

I don't think the servers are in real time (at least not all of them). I've joined a few US servers at night only to play in the middle of the day in the game and vice versa.

The servers do save your character's location and status when you leave or get disconnected.

i see what u guys mean about the buildings. the dude i watched ran all the way over to this one area he spotted from his sniper scope. he gets there and its nothing but building you cant enter.

i think in a beta it might be more enjoyable. its seems like its full of little issues that can hamper an otherwise excellent idea. not saying bugs because the videos i watched only showed clipping issues. but not being able to enter buildings, and not spawning where you left off....sound effects and bandits...the game was meant to be a zombie survival game, not a human survival game....but it seems that everyone plays like a bandit

how do you even hook up with friends?

[A Tasty Burgerr]

You have to just join the same server and find eachother. I have some friends from high school that are really really into this, they spend hours just chilling in one place and spotting for each other. I dunno if I could ever get into it that much.

that thing looks cool as hell.

we need a team VSN, roam around and boss newbs for gear...or put a bullet in their heads. i'm with the guy from the first video in the OP, killing players is just part of this game. think walking dead an Shane's betrayal, you gotta do what you gotta do.

Just started fucking around with this today. First death took 3 mins

My laptop is 2 and a half years old and it runs perfectly fine on low settings for me, and still looks pretty decent. I'd be down for some posse action whenever.

[killgod]

[BigBucs]

found much better video on the game

much cooler than the original video.

So what exactly would i need to buy and have in order to play this day z mod? the guy in the video talks about some high rez DLC as an option, but that u must have Arma 2 and some operation something dlc??

This shit can get real old man. Why would I want to attempt to play this shit when you know just about anyone you run into will try to kill and loot your shit? And you start from scratch everytime you die

B/c it's a survival game?

[BigBucs]

I know, cool and annoying at the same time. This is something you need to play with a few people. Guess its much like real life. Can this be played with my PS3 controller?

[Maynard]

that guy plays it pretty slowly too....his videos are good, but they can make the game seem less appealing. But it is a survival game and you gotta play it to survive.
