Origins 1.7.7: Update brings post apocalyptic City

Post by Waffeleisen »

Welcome to Origins 1.7.7 : The Republic of Novistrana, the latest instalment to DayZ Origins. Many months have passed, and the harsh cold from winter has released its grip on Novistrana, a once heavily populated city now beginning to decay like the corpses that litter the streets. Two predominant factions have formed from the few survivors that are left and tensions are growing high. Mayor George and the select few in Salvation City have continued to amass stockpiles of supplies at the expense of those surviving beyond their walls. Meanwhile Professor Vlad, an associate of Dr. Ivan is using his knowledge to help survivors, there are even rumours of developing a vaccine for the infection. Will you find Professors Vlads camp and make use of his new inventions or take your chances with Salvation City? The choice is yours.

Mayor George is sparing no resources to protect salvation city, Insider information from the last Survivors camp indicate that Professor Vlad is preparing to raid the city using his new secret invention..

No matter what Vlads plans are ... We are ready to stop those pathetic bandits Said Mayor George in his last speech addressing the elite Residents of Salvation City ( Sector B )

We will continue to raid the main lands to find his hidden camp and eliminate all those who help him.


somewhere in Novistrana at the survivors camp, Rumor has it that Professor Vlad has found a working cure of the infection. Before he disappeared, Vlad was convinced that he finally found a working vaccination and the cure of the infection. did it work ? or something went wrong no one really knows.

Before he disappeared, he sent two groups of survivors equipped with special Radio Devices, able to detect electronic signals and radio frequencies broadcast-ed from the lost cargo units from Flight T353.

Flight T353 was the last civilian aircraft that the skies of Taviana and the Republic of Novistrana have seen when the outbreak occurred.

The last transmission of the pilot indicate that the cabin crew started attacking each other. The airport authorities in both countries of Taviana and the Republic of Novistrana refused to grant landing permission to the pilot knowing that there were infected onboard.

Desperate and running out of fuel and unable to contain the situation of the infection spreading among the cabin crew and the passengers, the pilot unloads and drops its cargo while flying over both countries of Novistrana and Taviana to minimize weight and save fuel.

The passenger aircraft was never seen again.. but it is believed that its cargo contained a very important shipment of electronic devices and equipments that were planned to be delivered to the university of science of Novistrana to be used in research and development department.

Professor Vlad believes that this shipment and its cargo contained essential equipment needed to complete his Secret invention.


Vlad last words before he disappeared were “Today We Make History. Today we save humanity, with this vaccine and cure we will bring an end to the apocalypse. Did he succeeded or not .. it is for you to find out.


Release Notes.



As many know that we are introducing Origins 1.7.7 with many new twists, challenges, new game mechanics, and most importantly the newly post apocalyptic Country, the Republic of Novistrana.

We have decided to release big portion of the map to insure that we are more focused into making it is bug free , more polished instead of releasing the full map full of breaking legs bugs and flying buildings. so based on may of the community feedback and suggestions we have decided to release a big portion of the map now, focus on fixing any bugs, polishing it then continue the rest of the map in future updates.


Professor Vlad Inventions: Mega machines, deadly silenced weapons and much more :

The VDFF is one of Professor Vlad inventions built to help the remaining survivors to live away from the dangers of the infection, and have a chance to defeat the salvation city army ( Sector B ) and to settle in the wall protected island.

Flying Fortress is built to fly and settle for days in the sky and provide a safe home with food and supplies for the survivors, Designed to endure severe damage and become a safe home in the heavens for the survivors, with all the firepower and safety elements implemented to the FF to insure it never goes down..Yet it is still far from being invincible if you know its weak points and secrets of the design.

Unfortunately, Professor Vlad never had the sufficient equipment and parts to completely build it, it is up to you to continue constructing the FF.

VDFF in its structure was designed as a flying camp with sleeping and storage tents,vehicle garage and transportation, fortified with machine guns and plenty of space to move and take cover if being shot at., you can also move freely while in the sky ( if the FF is in the settle hovering mode) and shoot from the corners or behind sandbags.

Keep in mind that that the FF. requires lot of maintenance, the hover computer is your best friend while taking off and landing due to its massive size and weight, your crew can walk in the FF. while in the sky, and perform maintenance and repairs if required.

FF have 4 main engine cabins, they are very powerful and complex in design, built to lift heavy weight of the flying fortress in addition to the storage capacity plus any vehicles it is carrying.


As the captain the flying fortress you need to make sure all systems are properly functioning otherwise there could be safety issues.

If you engaged in heavy fights , As soon as you see smoke coming out from one of your engine cabins or the alarm started screaming, send your crew immediately to check its status, insure that the cabin components are on green or in yellow .. red means serious safety issue., the engine might break down while in flight , if hydraulics and computer chips are damaged , pilot may find the FF less responsive to flights controls .

If you hear the Alarm.( even if FF. is still flying, it means..Something is seriously wrong with your flying home and you need to land it and repair it in the nearest opportunity.

Yet the FF consists of and designed to fly and be controlled by one main navigation and control compartment which controls 4 main engine cabins, The flying fortress is still able to fly safely even if the crew loses an entire engine cabin however it becomes slower, heavier and harder to control over time.

If you lose additional engine cabin (depending on which one and its position) you might lose balance completely or partially - your might be able to fly with more skills and control to keep the FF in the air and avoid collision.

If you lose 3 Engine cabins, it means you must find a way to land, the Flying Fortress is for sure going down, try to use the calibration computer for assistance or just use your flying skills to avoid direct crash, depending on many factors, altitude, speed , surface you might still survive the crash and save the FF from getting completely destroyed.
