    FaceWAN DayZ​

    Play on servers with other FaceWAN members!​

    Before you buy Arma2:CO just for DayZ:
    If you are thinking about buying Arma2:CO just for DayZ, don't even think about it, you're about to make yourself look like a dumbass. Buy Arma2:CO if you think Arma actually interests you. If you just play DayZ all the time, it WILL get boring. Space DayZ out and try out normal Arma2, it's really fun. If singleplayer isn't your thing, just ask another person on FaceWAN who has Arma2, I know I myself or Infinity would be happy to host missions locally for now.(As long as our connections don't crap out.)

    What is DayZ?
    DayZ is a mod for ARMA 2: Combined Operations. You get to survive in a huge place called Chernarus. Zombies roam the towns and sometimes the wilderness. Zombies aren't your only problem though, you can't trust any other player as they might kill you for your gear. However, in order to survive properly, it's best you group up with a few other friends.

    How do I get DayZ?
    First you need ARMA 2: Combined Operations which can be bought here: ARMA 2: Combined Operations. This is a pretty good deal as it is two games for $29.99. After you buy and install the game, go here: DayZ Downloads. There is also a video on how to install the mod.

    You can either get the Six Updater if you don't care if you have a piece of shit program on your computer or you can do a manual install which is quite easy.

    Latin Geek's guide to manual installation (From FP)

    What servers do people play on?
    A lot of us play on the Virginia DayZ servers. The best way to find out what servers we are playing on is by going on Teamspeak.

    How do I survive?
    When you spawn, you will have a Makarov PM, six magazines, some food and water, and flares. If it is night, it's best to find a server that is at day. Do not hunt zombies, you will get killed. If you need to walk around, press X to crouch. If you need to sneak by zombies, press Z to go prone. Zombies will almost always kill you, and if they don't, you will end up wasting ammo. Another thing to remember is that you do not trust anybody else.

    How big is the map?

    Should I be a bandit?
    No, if you murder and I hear about it, I will post your name hear letting everybody know you can be shot on sight. Be a good person, help people out.

    I need more help.
    If this wasn't enough, visit DayZ Mod. You could also get in TS and ask the players questions.

    Who plays?
    Gatekeeper828
    Djizzle
    Jireh
    ToxicGaming
    Infinity
    Norwiz
    Matthaios
    (These are the people who are on TS and play a lot.)

    Hope to see some more people joining us.

    I might buy it as well, are the servers able to be run dedicated? I am thinking of maybe putting out a server for FaceWAN if that is the case.

    Wouldn't be a bad idea, I also wouldn't be surprised if we got more players. ARMA 2: Combined Ops is the third top seller right now on Steam because of DayZ.

    Also, there is ARMA 2 Dedicated Server Tools and ARMA 2 OA Dedicated Server Tools. If you did get a server, it would have to be ARMA 2 OA Tools I think.

    Also: Hosting DayZ. This probably means only Espeon should have admin if we do get a server.

    Edit:

    I bet you would love to receive a bullet to the brain if you would love to be a bandit.

    Why the FUCK do they require you to set up a RDP session so they can install their gameserver software on YOUR OWN SERVER? That's ridiculous [​IMG]

    Edit:
    Nvm i didn't properly read what dayz is apparently, gameplay stats and inventories seem to be persistent between servers

    I believe it has to do with the fact that player info is shared across all DayZ servers but I don't know shit about this stuff so I don't know.

    Unfortunately, they only support Windows based servers (we have a Linux server) and their view on how you are supposed to run your server is bullshit. Running a server for FaceWAN would be a waste of time in their opinion because we wouldn't be guaranteed slots in our own server, that and we couldn't make it private or they would deactivate it. Basically put we would be running a server for their mod, with no benefits of playing on our own server vs. another server.

    There's always the possibility of running an ARMA 2 ACE 24/7 Insurgency server but I don't know how many people would play that, it probably wouldn't be as many compared to DayZ.

    That my friend is a good idea.

    It would need

    @ace
    @acex
    @acex_pla
    @acex_ru
    @acex_sm
    @acex_usnavy
    @acre
    @fallujah
    @jayarma2lib

    it might need
    @cba
    @cba_a2
    @cba_oa
    (I'm not sure if they are just client side)

    It does need cba as well, indeed.

    There should be a TS3 channel for it for use with ACRE, as well.

    Updated the thread with a bit more info on installation from FP since a few of us have started playing again and chilling on TS. Infinity and I are actually at the airfield getting raped by tons of zombies while we only have a few mags for our AKs.

    Also an image of our journey before we got to the airfield from my point of view:

    I'll try to get some screenshots up of what's going on with me and Gate's DayZ journey. If you guys can get to the North West airfield that's great because we are always happy to see new players join our adventure. If however, you decide to team up with us and stab us in the back stealing our loot.. the following will happen:
    - We will hunt you
    - We will find you
    - We will kill you on sight
    - We will announce you as a bandit
    (Just get this in your head: You will face consequences)
