I heard it was a DDoS attack on the HIVE server that keeps a track of each player between servers, etc. Something to do with a recent load of bans.

I think most are fked tonight which is a shame. I'm just watching a stream to get my kick instead. Hopefully be OK by tomorrow night when I can then head out into Cherno, loot me some gear and bug out.

Will hopefully take someone up on there pickup offer earlier in the thread if we can get on together.

"x"?

They only want a pickup, not a bumming tongue out

That said I may need a pickup so I'll try not to offend you too much right now for fear of fire axe death!

What time are you thinking of being on? Do you have a TS3 server you could forward onto me or maybe steam? My mic is currently broken so text chat might be better. I'm currently holed up at the top of Cherno with the apartment blocks. Plan on hitting the hospital on my way out but its noisy as hell going through that glass alone.

Can you find DayZ servers without having to use Six Updater or something similar? Only reason I ask is I have to start ARMA in a window due to the resolution of the monitor I use.

Man I wish I didn't look in this thread. I am now seriously considering a gaming PC, absolute newbie when it comes to them but, anyone got any pointers as to what I should be looking for?

If I was looking for a new rig I'd probably take a copy of something like Arma 2 to an independent PC shop (loads around) and say; "build be a rig that can crunch this on highest settings without breaking a sweat".

You should then have a machine that can cope with Arma 3 when it comes out...

And a light wallet. Is it just me or does UK25 want a higher version number than any of the other UK servers? (I tried other servers and got stuck on "Waiting for character creation" anyway...)

Disregard that I am updating, oops!

Just a quick update, had a few good runs but mostly died.

The big cities are death traps, players murdering all over the place. I've manged to raid a grocery store and scored a pile of supplies and a tent. When I'm back online I'm going to sort out a hidden base somewhere and hunt for a little town to stock up before heading north in search of a better weapon setup.

This is a cool vid, the squad of players are a bit full on with the Chris Ryan stuff but it looks fun.

Good idea, cheers.
