Survival Games Event - 3

Survival Games Event
Last Men Standing[/CENTER]

Gentleman,

As some players requested that this should be a regular event, we will continue organizing these on a regular basis. The events will be 1 round each, with 19 squads of 3 members. Every squad will be facing each-other in a Last Men Standing type of game (yes, Men - since you are not required to kill your own squad mates in case you're the last ones alive).

Everyone will spawn unarmed and will need to find weapons that will randomly spawn all around the map, in order to survive and if possible, eliminate the remaining opponents. None of the players will have a minimap so map knowledge is required. Player spawns are now also random, so you will have to meet up with your squad mates using points of reference.

This event will be on the 27th of July - Time TBD. Every player will have to be registered on the 3dAC forum and post their own signup. You will be included into the Survivors usergroup and receive updates related to this and future events. Since there are only 9 Squads available, slots are limited and SGE beta testers and supporters get priority over them. This means that the sooner you post your signups, the better chances you have of actually being selected to play. We prefer players that signup with their own partners but we also accept individual signups and we will try and team you up with other individual players if possible.

There's going to be zombies in the mix this time

[Murkey]

Lots of fun the last 2 times I played. Well organised and the most tense, high stakes PR I've ever played.

Shame I can't make it. Some videos of the zombies would be great.

Good hunting gents

[Curry]

CliveWil ? Scout MK III Ultra Light Plane
Aserafimov from BGF Mod ? VW Beetle

Oh yeah.

Curry.

[Spook]

Yeah too bad I cannot make it aswell...

What I saw from previous beta tests, this will make alot of fun and will be even more thrilling than it already was without the added zombies. Take the chance and sign up. You won't regret it!

[aI2seNIc]

niiice !

[Onil]

6 squads taken and 4 individual signups... so that's 2/3 squads still available.

[Nate.]

After some testing, I promise everyone the most thrilling PR experience of all times.

[Walmarx]

Jesus I hope we make it in. I have lusted over this since the first event, and will not think twice to take a vacation day from work just for it.

[Strozzi]

Sounds cool!

[Redamare]

SIGNED UP! and Ready to go

[Onil]

A few things to keep in mind:

The zombies are WIP so they have shitty animations and no sounds yet but they serve their purpose.

We give priority to full squads signing up so if you signed up without any partners, please join the 3dAC TS one of the nights (after 20h PRT) before the event and talk to me to confirm your signups so that I can try and find you some partners to play with. Else, there might not be a squad slot for the individual signups.

This is simply because we had more than enough no-shows from people signing up alone in previous events.

EDIT: 8 squads taken - 1 still available.

Cheers,

Onil

[Onil]

We now have 10 squads signed up but only 6 are confirmed/reserved. So if you still want to participate and manage to get all 3 squad members signed up before one of the current unconfirmed squads does, you may get their spot.

Squads have until the 22nd to get all their members signed up in order to reserve their squad slot. We will keep the sign-ups open until the 24th to get some more reserves.

It is unfortunately common to have some no-shows in these events so I advise people to still sign-up even if all slots are taken and still show up as reserve since you might actually get an opportunity to play.

Regards,

Onil

Wait, is the Scout ultralight in AIX?

[M42 Zwilling]

Wait, is the Scout ultralight in AIX?

Nope, clivewil made it after AIX's development ended.

[Onil]

Not sure... he made multiple versions with different weapons so I suppose it is or will be?

He tends to do stuff like this and release it on the BFSP forum.

[Onil]

The SGE signups have been closed. The event time was set for 19h00 PRT (Installation Q&A at 18h30).

We have 9 squads confirmed to play + a few reserves.

We have been working hard in testing everything to make sure there are no issues with the mod. We found a few and quickly fix them thanks to Zwilling and Hjid's awesomeness. Hopefully the event will be issue free.

Get ready for one of the most thrilling events ever!

Regards,

Onil

I am absolutely elated to be a part of this! I love Day Z, but its interface and control systems are extremely rough. It will be wonderful to have the suspense and terror of that mode of gameplay, in an environment where CQB is actually possible. A huge thanks to those who have put time into the development for this; I cannot wait until something similar is fully released.

One quick question though- In the descriptions for some of the kits, it appears two primary weapons will be available in some of them, "G3 + Unscoped SVD, PKM + SVD, Nagant + M60". Did I miss-read the formatting here, or will these kits actually have two long-arms?

Edit: Also, do the zombies have limited detection ranges, and can you lose them by breaking LoS, or by other means while unarmed?

Nah, it's just the formatting. You won't see any two of those in one kit.

Also, do the zombies have limited detection ranges, and can you lose them by breaking LoS, or by other means while unarmed?

Their detection ranges are limited, and they do stop following players after a few seconds if their LoS is broken. Also, their maximum sprint times are overall quite a bit less than that of the humans, so it isn't difficult to escape them if your sprint bar is full.

[Onil]

As Zwilling already replied, that's just related to how high value each weapon is in comparison to the others and at which times they start spawning. So for example, the G3 might spawn at the same time as the Unscoped SVD and so on.

The zombies can actually notice you at a far distance I believe but you can easily loose them if you break LoS and keep running away. However, they also react to sound so if you're firing, they might come for you
