I have done in the past - saves all the stuff usually but just now it didn't.

Well. It did. But it was 'Ruined'.

EDIT: some of it was ruined. The rest was pristine. The stuff that was ruined included things like medkits and saline etc - stuff I wanted to use to patch myself up after that chump shot me.

Yeah you can switch servers all you like... you keep your kit... so in for teaming up... I also have team talk, I dont know what it does, but a friend who does is going to set it up for me, not sure if that will aid communication...

I used to use teamspeak with Spotter on BF4. Might re-install. Presumably the Direct chat in DayZ is location specific - I.e. you can only hear us if we're in range?

I am the worst person in the world to be self-employed.

Dark souls is ... awesome!

Fucking dark souls.

csb

(welcome to my world)

Dammit Amazon. I resisted GTA V for so long, then you offered me a free trial of prime so I could impulse buy it.

Yeah, dont, I really wanna go back to that.

Yeah I guess thats what team speak does, and yeah, only near by in game... when I tried to make it work I was pissed out me head so not conducive to problem solving.

So one can go into an empty server, sneak past some zombies into a military base and gear up like a mofo, relog into a hardcore server and pwn? Kinda lame if you ask me.

Ohhh I guess I never thought of that.
I get bored shitless playing solo.... no interest. For me the social interaction is what makes it interesting, like my awesome overlords last night., watching out for me...
Wish it had more goals, and the ability to build bases. It could mutate into a battle between communities...

Yeah massive battles would be amazing. All sneaky 'n shit, but massive.

Yeah... defo... once they sort out zombies passing through walls zombie hordes would be fucking amazing too. Imagine having to hide from one as they wandered past... or barricade a door and escape across some roof tops...

I've had weapons disappear from my backpack when logging back in and got mighty confused when my character was apparently lost, so I stared a new one then when I switched server it went back to the old character. Since found you can have two characters, one on a normal server and one on a Hardcore server. I personally prefer hardcore as you cant use the 3rd person view to peer over walls and round corners so makes it a bit more immersive.
Cant wait until they implement base building and vehicles. Zombie pathfinding is being fixed soon I think.
Definitely up for playing tomorrow night, it will be good to actually see something other than Zeds!

Awesome!
Lets get on it! Lad at work is in too...
You will have to tolerate my complete noooob skills though.

Always wanted to try day-z, playing diablo 3 and elderscrolls online at the moment...

You pay for ESO? I played the Beta and didn't like it very much. Definitely not enough to spend money on it. As for D3... Not even going there. I do still play D2 every once in a while though.

SO tempted to just buy DayZ and play it with worst possible graphics and find myself playing at 2 FPS.

How is ESO? Yep, had beta access and thought it was a pile of shit, even in last beta before release. I'll get it at some point but unless I hear fantastic things I'll wait until the inevitable F2P. One buggy online open world experience is enough for me right now.

Nothing in The Elder Scrolls series beats Morrowind imo.

I only play ESO for the fact that I loved morrowing and skyrim. other than that, i'm just trying to convince myself that it's a good game, but deep inside, i know it's a pile of shit... me and the gf are wasting our time with diablo 3 at the moment.

Playing goat simulator at the moment, complete waste of time but so freaking fun xD

I wanted to try Wildstar as my friends are all enjoying it.
It's an MMO so like DRM is kinda built in.

EXCEPT they took it to a whole new level.
You can only play in the region that you actually BOUGHT the game.
So I can only play on NA servers, and if I want to play on EU as well, I'd need to get someone in the EU to buy it and so on...

WTF?!

Makes sense, no real reason for you to be playing in a different time zone to you.

Little cunts on MK8 are up to their old tricks... Blue shell, red shell and fireball as I'm coming 'round the last corner to win the last race on 100cc cup... Every time...

Fantastic... :D

Playing Mario Kart on the Wii online was great during the day as I would win all the races but impossible in the late evening as the Japanese people came on and smash me.

that makes no sense at all, it's an artificial limit. I work nights/early mornings, so most of my gaming is actually during the EU evening not US evening.

There's also shit loads of people who work nights in the US and hence play on EU server (and vice-versa). Been in quite a few guilds playing internationally due to things like this.

GW probably has the best where you can just "jump" to your friends regardless (or EVE which says fuck region servers totally).
