A little video showing my quest to get back my dead players gear before the server restart, involving help from random helicopter crew.. in the end, I am the lone survivor and complete my task. Everyone else.. becomes casualties of DayZ. Enjoy! * disclaimer: I do not ever play on these 1k car/selfblood/etc. servers.. but last night I wanted to try one out just for fun. I typically play on the official servers only. So please, no need to hate me for playing in DisneylandZ. ;)

The mod. It has sidechat where you can talk to other players, on a global level. You can warn others of a danger zone, clan, etc.. Also there is bandit, hero, and survivor skins. Anyone that kills to many players, has their humanity level drop.. and this puts a highly recognizable bandit skin on them. Its not flawless in the mod, as they are metagame ways of cheating around it. But its a start. I think they should have something.. like blood on the players clothing, regardless of what they are wearing, if they have killed others. Same with gear. If picked off of a dead player, it should be bloody. A hero, after saving several players medically, should get a small red cross armband, or similar. And a new spawn would have none of those. But then again, having it be a complete mystery sort of adds to the SA. You could fool others by putting on UN helmets, etc.. or hiding your weapons in your clothes, pack. I like the way it is here in the SA.. as you dont have the ability to just judge a book by its cover anymore. Now you have to watch and learn.. or shoot without no regard.

I used to run with a core2duo E8400.. and it ran DayZ (both SA and the mod) just fine. With my quad core I now have a much better experience though..

Yes, that is in fact a shell casing and the right one for the weapon.. Anyone else excited about shell casings? I hope they can find a way to make them persist on the ground. That way you can see where a firefight took place afterwards.. I'd love that shit.

I dont even know why I post sometimes.. lol ;) I mean.. why merge it with the devblog? There is a post about "what to expect in the next update" in General.. why not there? *..kicks empty tin can :(

Photos from new devblog of new town, etc.. Enjoy! http://dayzdev.tumblr.com/post/85919354781/the-challenge-and-saga-of-zombie-pathfinding

There we go.. lol

I too purchased it as I had only played the beta and lite versions.. Am really happy with the purchase. I must have flown around Seattle for about 3 hours straight last night..

See below Yes, I purposefully and some just because I was laughing made it a long process killing them.. I wanted to make a Zombie Baseball video, and you cant do that if you're hitting homers every time ;)

Some things I can think of are adjusting your power setting to high performance.. ensuring your GPU is set up properly.. You really should not have strange ups and downs like that if you're not even moving. Hit some PC forums and ask for help there, like http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/forum-33.html, etc.

Watch this video and notice how when I hit the body, its almost futile.. but when you aim up higher, so that your crosshair is just above the zombies head you will typically score a headshot which will take a reasonable amount of damage even with weak melee weapons. With fists the only real way to be effective is to hit in the head, again you have to aim high with your crosshair. ..around the :30 second mark is a great example.. the swings before are too low, and the next 2 swings are aimed properly and hit the head knocking them both down.

This would go great in the gallery section. ;)

As long as I can throw the firearm at something once its empty.. any of them. But usually Im a 1911 man.

Dat link.. es broke.

Fixed for clarity.

Fraggle? Dare I say he is under a ROCK? .. ;)

Beans damn you! I must have more beans to toss to the masses!

inb4yard needs to be a thing..

Its obvious that your compound fracture in your leg, and the bone that was sticking out managed to go straight into the Zeds head at one point. Thats like Chuck Norris type badass level there. Kudos. You should have no problem crawling into Berezino and clearing the entire town on your own.

FOV settings.. can make you feel sick Get rid of any "fisheye" or "warping" of the world via the FOV settings.. and you should have a better experience. Hopefully..

My ancestors would be proud that our namesake has carried on such a storied tradition of the proverbial shit hitting the fan, each and every time it can. :)

They should like.. hire you and stuff.

Yep.. I must convert from Irish to German I suppose.

I mean.. I really dont care. Tbh. edit, I realized I sound flippant. What I mean.. if its off, I dont mind since its a game.
