DayZ StandAlone
EARLY ACESS ALPHA /vg/
Credit goes to Murse, Rahne, Vetal and anon.
THIS IS SUBJECT TO CONTINUOUS UPDATE
This is an EARLY ACESS ALPHA WITH SCARCE CONTENT, not a full release game.
Don't buy it and bitch if there's not a lot to do and there's bugs all the time.
It's your money, you do what you want. Research to see if it's worth for YOU to buy it right now. Don't get angry as fuck with buyers remorse if this isn't up to expectations, this won't reach the Beta stage of development for at least a year.
Price will increase in the long run, don't worry about it increasing in a few weeks time.
So far it seems to be running much more smoothly than the mod for most people, with much more consistent and higher frame rates.
Don't get asshurt if you dropped something and it vanishes, this is still buggy.
Rocket has his own trip, which is: rocket!!Zms4dJnIrqt.
If you see him, you should pester him gently. We don't want to scare him off by sounding overly edgy.
Planned list of things to be implemented in the future:

FIND SERVERS TO PLAY ON
Start up the game, pick out your character.
Connect
Internet (upper left)
Filter (bottom left)
Set filters, setting ping to 0 shows all servers
Refresh as needed
All servers run in synch with the same daytime cycle (24h). It runs on an unspecified European time (best guess is on the Czech time, wich is GMT+1).
Current maximum player capacity is 40.
All servers run on the same hive. Strangely, The Laughing Man seems to be running a private hive server.
At least 24000 people have bought the alpha but there's over 160 servers online, so don't worry
HOOK UP WITH PEOPLE TO PLAY WITH
Want people to play with that aren't shitty rebitor retards or cocksuckers?
Pop up on the lads TeamSpeak and ask what people are doing. We're allways open for more people to go on Excellent Adventures with.
You can also post your Steam/name/server in the General and hope someone joins you.
Do onto others what you want for them to do to you. So don't be a faggot and ruin peoples fun.

BLOOD TRANSFUSION MANUAL (made by someone who does this for a living)
Make sure you test blood types before doing a blood transfusion, otherwise shit will get real fast from systemic imunological response, wich will lead to death within minutes.
Try to use the most aseptic technique possible, by using desinfectant items whenever possible, so that the risk of infection diminishes.
You can't just use a bloodbag to do a transfusion. You normally need to collect blood from players, setup an IV saline kit and then do the transfusion.
If you have a blood testing kit, use it. It will determine the blood type (A, B, AB, 0) and Rh factor (+ or -).
Put the bloodbag in your hands and select the option from the Scroll Wheel to draw blood from a player. You need a syringe to do this.
After the blood bag is filled, equip it and right click on the IV kit to attach it.
Then do the transfusion.
(Still no news if this is how it in, but this is how it work IRL)
Rh- people can't receive blood from Rh+ donors, but it's safe to do it the other way around.
0- is the universal donor, while AB+ is the universal receptor.
Other than this, you can donate within the same letters (A with A, B with B, AB with A or B) if you don't violate the Rh factor rule mentioned above.

OTHER ADVICES & TIPS
It seems you stay a lot of time unconscious, nobody yet knows how long. It seems to be bugged, as you stay knocked out forever. Kill yourself, because Epinephrine pens don't seem to work.
Some say transfusing blood brings people back, but this isn't confirmed yet.
You need to put bateries into flashlights for them to work. Click Space-bar to point it forward.
UI is allmost completely gone. Look at the bottom left in the chat to see indications on your character's status (i.e. thirst, hunger, bleeding, etc.). The messages will turn red before shit hits the fan. Take care of your character so shit doesn't get out of control.
You get hungry, thirsty and tired MUCH more frequently now.
Find food or drink. You need a can opener, knife or bayonet to open canned stuff. Remember that you need to purify water before drinking it to prevent infections, so be careful.
Sit down to rest so you don't cough out your lungs from running a marathon.
You need bateries to make flashlights work, drag and drop them into the flashlight. Click Space-bar to point the flashlight forward.
You can rip shirts into rags and use them to bandage yourself.
You can punch now. Unequip what you are currently holding in your hands and select "Raise fists" and press the Space-bar. One punch to the head can knock a zombie to the floor or KO someone.
To get more resistance to getting KO'd by wannabe Muhamad Ali's, get a motorbike helmet. It protects your head greatly.
You need magazines to load the ammo you find so you can load your pistols. If you have a primary weapon you can load ammo directly into it without using a magazine.
To use the bipod attachment on your M4A1, deploy it on your inventory by right clicking it and selecting the option. You only get an accuracy bonus while prone.
You can costumize the fuck ton out of characters and weapons now.
EVERYTHING has a durability now. The worse it is, the higher is the chance of it not working properly.
Infection chance seems to be greatly increased.
Zombies are much harder to loose. They sometimes run trough walls or get stuck motionless making aggro noises. They currently don't respawn so you can clear out an area fairly easily. It takes multiple punches to kill one, but a hatchet/fireaxe can kill one with 1 swing.
Use the Scroll Wheel to do actions. System is still implemented until it is completely redone.
You can use the Scroll Wheel menu or TAB to pickup shit. If you open your inventory (G), you can drag and drop stuff into the place you desire on your character.
You can't acess peoples backpacks, so you'll have to risk the item dissapearing by dropping it on the floor.
The map is the same size, despite what idiots will spout. Towns got expanded and more towns where added so there is less "open" space. You can't seem to be able to put together the several maps you can find in-game yet.
You can rebind all your controls, tweak mouse smoothing, FoV, etc. in the Options menu.
To do emotes, you need to bind them. Check your Options menu.
There's LOADS of books now, from Darwin's "Origin of Species" to Russian learning books. To read them, put them in your hands.
You can write notes if you have a pen and a piece of paper.
You can mute people in the exact same way you did in ArmA II. There seems to be a bug that people can use VON on global chat without using radios.
Weapons found so far: FNX45, Winchester (?), Moist Nugget 91/30, M4A1
No word if the AK-74 is in yet.
