Pipsi, finally!! Love you rocket <3

DrBigMoney started a huge poll on reddit today and asked someone to link it here in the forums as well, so i'll do that: LINK: https://docs.google....oCPScc/viewform Would be cool if you guys could take your time to fill it out (expect at least ~20-30 mins for the whole poll form though) Cheers, Peter

The day I took the photos it had about 11°C (~52°F) there. It was a pretty cold and rainy spring day all over Middle Europe though. Lipová (Stary Sobor) is at about 450m AMSL while the "coast" (Povrly) lies at around 130m AMSL.

I'm sorry for your rancher :( And yes, as i already wrote in the gallery I'm well aware that (in game) there are no apartments in Elektro. The thing is, i found those apartments in Povrly, which is Elektrozavodsk in-game.

Well you probably wouldnt expect so from the pictures, but i just glued together some tires, a tractor engine block and scrap metal - and voila, i had that shiny little car. :D

Feel free to go there and try your luck... ;) I would so be in! Green mountain (the hill itself) is there, just there's no transmission tower on it, it's but a simple hill with trees. Still, i didnt want to go there. One does not simply go to Green Mountain.. Survivor Peter Silie assigned for next mission. I just need to get access to some red flares and get permission from the local police ;) Damn, how cool that would be.. Yes, it is. Only the map borders are different and there's no ocean. You can see for yourself here: http://goo.gl/maps/kC81A

That might give away the "magic" now but as i want to be honest: I brought them with me. Thankfully a local supermarket had some in stock. :) Would have been WAY cooler though if someone really put them there.. just for the next DayZ fan to arrive :D

No, those aren't the real villages' names. I updated the imgur gallery now with the real names of the towns/villages. :)

Whew. Thanks for all the replies so far. Yeah, the trip made me want to play DayZ on the Chernarus again a bit more than i did recently. Granted, there are many great maps to play DayZ on but - cross my heart - Chernarus is the real deal.

..yes I know that the idea of visiting the real-life Chernarus isn't that new anymore and that quite some DayZ fans have been there by now already - still, i wanted to share the impressions of my short trip (only had about 1 hour, was travelling by car) with you. It was kind of a spontaneous idea to go there (i took a detour there while i was on my way home from Germany to Austria), that's why i didnt have my DSLR with me which would have made way better pictures than my phone. Well, actually for a phone they are not that bad .. you just need to put enough filters and effects on them :D So, here it is, my short trip to Chernarus: http://imgur.com/a/dmXis And here, also some photo spheres I made with my Nexus 4 while i was there (might not work with all browsers, definitely working with Chrome): http://sphereshare.n...730130724627fb8 http://sphereshare.n...6af89a9e8bb136e http://sphereshare.n...ea36aecb3f1771f It was a cool trip, albeit a little short. You can feel a DayZ atmosphere when you are there, it's intense. I definitely want to visit Chernarus again some day, this time with my fellow DayZ mates. And then I wanna get out of Stary with more than just a can of beans... ;) EDIT: Added some ingame perspective shots to the gallery. will add more later or if asked to :) (small edit: changed the imgur URL so it leads to my user gallery instead to an anonymous one)

Dumb question, but... haven't been on the forums since 1.7.2 release, so is the 1.7.2.1 changelog still accessible somewhere? Couldn't find it on the announcement forums... :-/

Oh yes, give us a confirmation box for "Respawn" please! Killed myself by accident yesterday when I was a bit too hasty and wanted to go to the Options menu :/

Even more unplayable with stock video settings. Go try it out yourself. :)

Please no 666: Witherfield's image already looks bad, but you can't see SHIT in a moonless night in DayZ. PURE black when all gamma and brightness are pitched to max. Really annoying and definitely unplayable without an artificial source of light.
