We were recording a training day for our community where we were going over tactics and performing several tactical drills when suddenly we were interrupted. During the training session, most of our group was using empty magazines and using dry fire clicks to simulate gun battles.
At 15:00 into the video, we are debriefing the training scenario and setting up for a new scenario when we are interrupted by a KOS bandit. I am impressed how quickly we reacted given the circumstances!
Since we have quite a few new people with different levels of experience I thought I would run some basic squad tactics training to get us all on the same page. I’ll go over some basics like squad member responsibilities, moving tactically, and assaulting and defending fixed positions. A lot of it will be me talking but I’ll try to come up with some drills so we can put our skills to work.
We’ll conduct the training at Pulkovo on a low pop 1st person public server. Pulkovo is a small town southeast of Green Mountain where we hopefully won’t be bothered.
Our community has grown enough that we can probably sustain a server again!
Ideally, as we grow large enough, we will have multiple servers and maybe even our own private hive. However, being that we need to be able to assist the general public, our first returning server will be a 3rd Person Public server.
This will allow us to host our base and be prepared to handle any requests for help and run missions on the most populated part of DayZ, 3rd Person.
Once we have 3 months of reserve funds in our pool, I will start up the server again with Vilayer. You can see how much we have in our fundraising pool on the right hand side of the web page, also you can click on the donation link to add to our funds.
I briefly mentioned this on Mumble that I would like to open up a HERO position, but looking over all of the membership, I decided I would like to open up 3 HERO positions.
Please let me know publicly or privately if you would like to be considered for HERO*. If you are selected, you will be trained in how to do this stuff.
HERO duties:
HEROs WILL NOT be selected based on seniority or time spent in the organization but rather the ability to admin, moderate, and lead this community in its intended direction. We will be watching for potential HEROs to fill these 3 positions.
0.59 just hit stable branch. Zombies here we come! Also check out this video teaser of upcoming predatory animals:
In this week’s Status Report, our Lead Producer Brian will inform us of the current state of development as well as give us a peek at a couple of the incoming vehicles/transportation devices. DayZ is a gritty, authentic, open-world survival horror hybrid-MMO game, in which players follow a single goal: to survive in the harsh post-apocalyptic landscape as long as they can. Players can live through powerful events and emotions arising from the ever-evolving emergent gameplay.

Field Manual now has the following highlighted changes:
Our custom map has been moved to the main menu, Map link. You must be logged in and have permission to view the map, otherwise you will only see the iZurvive map.
So, I stumbled across this website that the DayZ developers are using to show what they are currently working on. Worth a browse from time to time if you are into the development cycle progress and want to see what is coming up!
Organize anything, together. Trello is a collaboration tool that organizes your projects into boards. In one glance, know what’s being worked on, who’s working on what, and where something is in a process.

3PP Hive, since 1PP has been pretty dead.
We’ll grow some food at base, then head to Cherno and patrol the coast. If we have enough ropes and burlap, I would like to do some dead drop food stashes along the way if we don’t run into anyone in a town.
I’ll be running a patrol of St. Josephs on the DayZ Underground server tonight. If you’d like to join, show up in Ratnoe at 19:00 EST for briefing.
We’re going to mostly cover Status Updates on the critical engine work this Status Report – as well, we’ll talk a bit about infected spawning changes, and our current goals for .59 experimental builds.
