Wildfire (DayZ)

It may not be realistic but it sure is handy. Also brings about a sense of community and teamwork. Bring it back, I say! I've however noticed that some servers still have Side Chat available - is it something that server admins can turn on/off??

This, several times. Not only silly, but very embarassing!

Get rid of the German flag patch though, the bandit skin still looked too much like an SF operator's outfit.

'Numpad Del' to rub one out.

Not to name drop, but Fallout 3 and Far Cry 2 to name drop a couple. A rifle that jams every 500 rounds, or a hatchet's head becoming detached, and you have to reattach it (or it might be broken beyond repair). A hunting knife that breaks after prolonged use (results in less raw steaks harvested), dud ammo and grenades, flashlights that flicker or run out of batteries, backpacks that degrade after excessive wear and tear (less slots or even sporadic loss of items?). Adds an element of unpredictability, and would certainly make things more interesting. It'd force even the best-equipped players to continually be on the prowl for better, more reliable weapons and gear. /2c

1.7.1 onwards has been nothing but pure win. Zombies finally behave realistically (now THERE's a paradox), good amount of loot, no starting weapon (seriously, how can everyone in Chernarus have a Makarov?). I must say, I'm having a lot of fun. Cannot wait to see what else Rocket has in store for future updates...

Just keep firing your weapon for light, that'll do it!

That's awesome guys, glad you like it, appreciate the support. Also, feel free to throw some suggestions at me about what you might wanna see in it!

Taking a 3-inch fall from barn stairs, suffering from blood loss and broken limbs. Not stupid, but certainly embarassing.

Here's something I made for my own amusement, a cinematic trailer to DayZ: Downfall, an animated graphic novel I'm currently in preplanning to produce, which will utilise a mixture of real actors, photographs and ArmA 2 gameplay footage. It covers some events before the leadup to 'Day Z' in Chernarus. While it'll take some creative liberties for the sake of storytelling, it does not trample on Rocket's original vision of DayZ at all. This is a teaser trailer, made primarily using DayZ/ArmA 2 gameplay footage. Enjoy!

There was a FIREFIGHT!

Hey hey, I've been spawned in the ocean (wilderness) after obtaining the camo outfit. Are you able to sort me out? PN: Wildfire PID: 9633158 Cheers in advance mate.
