Thanks goo0gle. I'll remember that. Forever.

I'm all out of beans, but thanks for sharing Yorkie. I always loving hearing those kinds of tales.

Thanks for the beans fonebook :P I understand about the phone thing... I've tried accessing the forums on my phone before. Kind of a pain. Glad you were able to make good use of 'em! :D

Given that your backpack will most often disappear when you go to put it on the ground. ^^This^^ is the way you should always go about picking up a new backpack.

Great video. Loved the ideas. Can we somehow ensure that Rocket sees this?

Also, fraggle had a couple of great quotes that I noticed in some screenshots taken from this video... I can't find them now, but Fraggle was made (or volunteered) to demonstrate all the kidnapped poses (hand up, hands bound behind the back etc...). Try to look for em in the video above! :)

I may be totally wrong here, but I thought they hadn't finished the new gun models. Anyone got any more insight on this?

*Ahem* :)

Thanks as always for putting these together Aporis... You deserve many, many beans.

Yeah, I haven't ever really seen a good youtube video that actually guides new(ish) players through the various places around each of the towns where bandits like to camp out. If the production quality is good (map overlays at the right times and fluid transitions and audio instructions) then I think it would be pretty popular. It can be hard to tell, looking at a map, what direction you should approach a town from. I know I would watch it. EDIT: goo0gle is a troll, don't ever take what he says seriously. If you feed him, he will just come back for more :)

Turn your HDR setting up to high or very high. I've found that to help a LOT during nighttime.

Awesome thread Hets, thanks for the story and screens!

Enough HE rounds on a building will eventually destroy it, but I'm not sure how many it would take. Against vehicles, the HE rounds are super effective. However, destroying a vehicle also means you can't steal it for yourself. I tend to lob 203's through windows and doorways when I know there is a player inside camping out. The range of the explosion is pretty significant and it has definitely kept me from putting myself in harms way on a number of occasions.

I think his argument was that it's cowardly and stupid to change your gamma and brightness settings...

Mostly playing Vanilla or DayZero (can't wait for the Podagorsk map to be released!) Just watch PsiSyndicate's "first look" of the new DayZ Unleashed mod. Looks pretty interesting and the map is even larger than Chernarus. Seems like there's some interesting/cool features that are pretty unique to it, so I will probably be giving this one a shot sometime this week.

Isn't that frustrating as all hell? Things you want to keep get destroyed so easily and things you want to destroy just don't want to go away... I've fortunately only made those subtle and hard to avoid mistakes once or twice in my dayZ career.

Meh, once I'm even slightly geared I don't mind the whole "ditch secondary weapon to equip flashlight" thing because I'm comfortable enough with a primary weapon/hatchet and no secondary. I've found plenty of NVG's, it's just as a fresh spawn where I get frustrated at needing to drop my only weapon so that I can see...

I'll respond, but then again I know nothing so I don't think it will help. I am also eagerly waiting 1.7.7.2 (especially since DayZero Podagorsk has been delayed as well). I would love to get a little more info about the update!

Absolutely loved night-time since the very first time I played it. I hopped off servers when it turned night for the first few times I played just because I had no idea wtf I was doing and was scared shitless. But once I got up the stones to give night-time a try I felt like there was no going back. Full moon nights are okay, I don't mind one way or the other really. I just wish it wasn't automatically a full moon night every single night. I like variation. Recently I have started throwing chemlights and flares all over the place after looting an area just to give other players something to be nervous about :) My only gripe with nighttime, and I really do mean only, is that you have to drop or store your secondary weapon to equip the flashlight... If that could be fixed nighttime would be perfect imo. EDIT: Gotta love Master Shake :) probably my favorite character of all time.

Saw this while driving to a friends house this past weekend... I think they may be on to something!

Yeah, I'm with you guys 100% on this. My DSL network node is oversold and pretty much from 5:00PM - 1:00AM my internet is completely unusable. And I live in the middle of fucking nowhere so it's not like I have other options... I like all the suggestions for different "modes" for single-player too. They all sound like a lot of fun. Maybe they will end up becoming Mods for the Standalone. Who knows.

I'm really tempted to walk in there some time and ask about their "zombie defense specials". Well... in their defense... even though zombies can swim, they seem to be rather incapable of boarding a boat... So I think their argument still makes sense :)

Great Tactics, Orange. TYVM for sharing!!!

God dammit I love these threads! MOAR!

Excellent objective that will be a huge boost to the Arma modding community! Though I am not a programmer/modder I have certainly reaped the benefits of the work done by the community and can't even begin to tell you how much I appreciate it!
