Team Liquid now has its very own DayZ Server!!!!! Come join us on USA 1337! This Server is temporarily down, but will be back up soon, in the mean time you can use Tofucakes server which all TLers are Welcome to use, US 382
A important message from TSBspartacus:
OK guys the teamspeak city channels are set up. Move there when general chat is busy or whenever you want. If its empty, no need to go there since no-one else is in. It is Common courtesy to announce you are moving there so people in the chat know that city is now a danger-zone. Anyone not in the city group but in the city, be prepared to be shot on sight by TL members that are in the group. As far as defining the boundaries, just the general area; so for Cherno anywhere between Balota and Prigorodski (including Prig though since its basically part of Cherno) and all the surrounding hills. As a general rule, if you can see any part of the city, get in the chat.
What it means: New channels have been created on the Dayz TS server for the benefit of people in specific cities, if you are in a major city (elektro/cherno) but fail to let people in the channel know you are there, you are running a very serious risk, and may be shot on sight. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello and welcome to the Teamliquid Dayz players list! The purpose of this thread is to help TL'ers find other TL members who can help them survive in the barren, zombie infested wasteland known as Chernarus! I know that with just a bit of coordination we can all have a blast in this Eastern European hellhole we love so much can't seem to find an exit to.
for those who dont know what Dayz is, it is a mod for ArmA II that introduces players into an enormous zombie wasteland while requiring them to scavenge for food, water, and a myriad of other valuable supplies across a massive area, all while managing a host of environmental dangers including zombies, hunger, thirst, illness, and potentially even other players looking to kill you for your supplies. Will you become a friendly scavenger helping those in need that you comes across? Or a ruthless bandit murdering and stealing from everyone you see to survive? In Dayz, roleplaying and gameplay are seamlessly intertwined, your interactions with other players will directly determine your success in the game. So working together is a good idea.
If you would like to know more about this fascinating new mod, then you should take a look at this thread: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=338034 In there you can find links to installation instructions, deals on amazon to get ArmA II at half price (expired), fascinating stories from survivors, as well as tips for new players, go ahead and give it a read if you haven't already (Its still growing!).
Now on to business, I have heard word that Mango will be setting up a teamspeak channel specifically for Dayz! (Until then TBSpartacus has set up a User channel open to everyone, so if you want to play go hop on!) This will make it much easier for people to locate each other and play together. To further facilitate that, I thought it would be a good idea to keep a list of TLers who are interested in teaming up with each other to play. This should make it easier to stay in touch with other players.
So in this thread im going to try and keep an organized list of TL'ers who want to work together and their contact info. If you want to have your name on the list, simply post in this thread the following bits of information and il edit you into it 1) your In game (ArmA II) handle 2) your steam contact info or preferred form of contact (note: if for any reason you dont want to give this info then its no problem, il still add you and leave your TL account as the main contact) And that's it! Now lets hit the field and find some baked beans!
We officially have our own teamspeak channel on the Teamliquid server! You can find it under the community tab of the teamliquid server, anytime your playing DayZ and want some company, feel free to hop on! Big thanks to TBSpartacus for organizing it, and TheMango for making it
TL DayZ server Some badass TLers pitched in and bought a DayZ server! USA 1337 is now our server of choice! (if any of the people who helped purchase the server would like to pm me who they are so I can give you credit I would greatly appreciate it!)
So, now that we have found a bunch of people who want to play together, the next step is to organize the games! TBSpartacus went ahead and made a steam group for us, so go ahead and join it if you have steam, if you dont have steam dont worry, you will not be excluded from anything. http://steamcommunity.com/groups/TL-DayZ

I'm still downloading the game, 4gb left. Unfortunately I don't have a mic yet, I'll buy one tomorrow or the day after though. I'll make sure to leave my contact info once the game is installed.
Once it's about the money, it's never quite as pure.

Sup guys, going to be playing for a bit now, and have remade the temporary room on the TL server.
I think we should make some basic rules for this, seeing as its not a very noob friendly mod.
ARMA II is a gentlemans game. The controls are clunky and hard to learn, but offer a lot in return.
1. No killing of TL members Yes the mod is designed for this, but meeting up together with other teamliquid members is better than randomly meeting others in game: they could kill you at any point. If the trust between us gets broken we'll be no better than the other players out there going solo.
2. Don't shoot at zombies unless you're alone. I know this sounds silly, but once you get to know the game you'll realise that the zombies are not the main element at all. Other players are. Shooting at zombies will lead them to you, and all surrounding zombies and players. Don't shoot unless you know you're safe to take a shot, or directly under threat from one. Its generally best to run if you are discovered. try to take the quickest way out of town / wherever you are so you can shoot the lone zombie thats following you away from other zombies. However, if you are being chased by more than one its usually best to get inside and defend that position, Zombies can't run indoors.
3. Work as a team: logical. Follow orders from your leader, if not please don't interfere with the operation going on
4. Don't steal loot. Yes no-one can have dibs on loot, but be reasonable. If a guy has a pistol and you have an uzi and pistol, don't refuse to let him have it. After all, we want to be playing this as a team.
OFC all these rules don't apply when playing solo or can be based on decisions of the group you are playing with. If you want to go gung-ho into a town and kill all the zombies feel free, but don't do it without asking the dudes you're with if they are ok with it.

Also, currently there are a lot of issues with the mod being too popular and servers are constantly under too much load. Be patient, and eventually it should work. You may need to wait for up to 5 minutes just to load a game on a server, but trust me, its worth it.
I'm planning on joining up as soon as this crappy Amazon download finishes and I get the mod running. Count me in.
EDIT: Also, this might be a stupid question, but non-Steam versions of ARMA II can connect with Steam versions, right? I don't want to be the only guy on TL who doesn't use Steam and can't hang out with anyone.

Hey guys, we just had a long about 7 hour session with 3 of us, me jtype and rob (can't remember tl name). We managed to navigate our way to meet each other in the night across the map, avoid enemy contact and zombies numerous times and gather some pretty sweet loot, as well as cooking some lovely sheep up. Collectively got through two broken bones, 2 bleeds and some serious loss of blood. If everyone gets in the teamspeak server whenever they want to play and ask for locations of people we can meet up pretty easily whenever anyone is on, just hang out in there if you're on.
I for one am perfectly willing to help out any new players or meet up with you guys when we're on, and hopefully we can stick together. Don't be put off by how hard this game is, its so much fun with a team.
Our current location is north of Pavlovo, but the general target at the moment is zelenogorsk. As long as we gradually stick around the same area we'll find it pretty easy to play together along with teamspeak. I don't think Steam is even necessary, but I have made a Steam group for us here: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/TL-DayZ

Would be great if people also added on which server they usually play. Steam ID : Cynry ARMA Handle : Philippe Server : Mostly FR and others EU
Also, with time and TL players adding up, we might want to settle on some server to start fixing some vehicle, store in tents and stuff like that. For now, little squads are fine but I think TL can grow very big on this game :D

I bought the amazon copy, so it doesn't connect with steam. But you can contact me through steam. Steam ID: mcgriddle ARMA handle: mcg server: Mostly dallas/chicago servers, and virginia servers at night (the utc+4 ones).
I am currently at NW airfield. I'm hoping that when you are proposing no teamkilling you mean only other TLers? Because I quite enjoy the thrill of looting dangerous locations (electro especially), and killing other players kind of goes hand in hand with that.
