Wow, nice update! Is there any word on the stand-alone version of the game? Last I heard it was going to be ready by December... 2012. :P

Nothing yet but rocket has been attending many shows such as pax and E3 showing the latest version of the standalone. I am waiting on it and hoping they do the right thing before releasing it to the public.

I have been testing 1.8 for the mod and the new inventory system is WAY better! Also now you can have a main weapon and a melee weapon equipped at the same time so no more having to kill zombies with a lee enfield or 1911 and waste ammo.

Go Linux Hosting!!!!!!!

If I had the spare hardware and connection, I would host myself. As it is, the only spare networking gear I have is 1 Catalyst 2950 Switch.

If I did, I would nab a CentOS server host for ArmA 2 DayZ. Less system resources used, free on cost, free version of RHEL, more stable, made for 99.999% 24/7/365 uptime.
 
A few more screenshots of the stand alone have been released.

Since bohemia interactive is on board they have made a lot of progress but I knew when rocket said last year that it would be done by xmas that there was no way in hell. I do not even see it being ready to even test by this xmas.
 
Last time I played, I don't know, last year or something, every server I went on was just really laggy. I was getting really low FPS.

So, I guess what I'm asking is, what are the better servers to play on and how is it running currently?
 
I tried playing and it was such a nuisance to set up. Then when a game finally was working my truck flew 40 feet up into the air then landed on its side and I got eaten.

Blah. Fuggit. Total waste of $40 for all the arma junk. I used to play Operation Flashpoint and would have hoped games would have gone somewhere in 10 years, guess not.

Dayz is just a mod for arma 2 and some like it and some don't. It does have a large fan base that keeps on coming back due to the fact the game was made to mod. There are tons of fun player based mods for arma but it goes back to the base game itself and if you don't like it from the start then your going to have a bad time in the mods.

That makes me want to play more.
 
the game was really fun until people starting "doing the dupe!"
 
I really do not see how its "too hard" to setup? Its simple, install arma2/operation arrowhead, start both of them to the main screen, then install dayzcommander and download the vanilla dayz mod and latest arma2 patch, then PROFIT...?

the game was really fun until people starting "doing the dupe!"

LOL they fixed most of the duping but not its all kill on sight so makes it kinda boring.
 
gta7 will be out on pc before dayz stand alone.
 
During testing "SmashT" went up against a group of survivors and it didn't go well. With the new system players can bound and take people hostage.

Oh BTW I have a custom DayZ 1.8.0.3 server up today. 205.144.212.5:2302
