    How do I fill jerry cans?

    I'd love to find an empty Jerry can so that I could make a video on filling them, but usually the ones I find are full :/

    No guns. Glitch?

    Definitely bad luck like above mentioned. Someone asked me to make a "How to find weapons" video, but honestly in the end it all comes down to luck and GET THE HECK OUT OF CHERNO. Tree stands and living up north. That's the way to be.

    A couple of questions from a newbie

    Suppressed ammunition is always harder to find.

    What do matches look like in a loot pile?

    Think very small version of painkillers.

    Poof! DayZ - Understanding Blood Cheers! (note: I DID just upload it, give it a sec if quality is bad. YouTube processing speeds, :/ )

    Best locations to place a tent?

    In agreement with Zakificus, you could even put decent gear in the tent so that they linger at the tent longer.

    Best locations to place a tent?

    Watch this video for how to pitch a tent: I was placing that tent in the hill north of Stary Sobor, then I promptly forgot what server I was on, lol Try to find a spot with a bit of an incline and behind a bush. When standing at the spot, make sure that trees/hills/other-bushes obscure the tent from distances. The tents I spot the most and easiest are those that are hidden behind a bush, but easily seen from a distance cause they stand out.

    another newbie question

    Make sure that you are actually talking on the Direct Communication channel. You can set a key to specifically speak only on the Direct channel in your options/key bindings. I'll be making a video on chat channels/voice soon.

    How to deal with Barbed Wire

    Really? Wow, didn't even notice that...

    How to deal with Barbed Wire

    This is actually one of my to-do's for a video. Steam and ARMA 2 don't mix well, hard to get to my character with the toolbox.

    Supermarkets. Wat do?

    Found plenty of alice bags in them as of late.

    Situational Awareness - Have some

    The audio queues still need to be fixed up though. I hate the branch breaking noise in the forest.
  14. Personally: Sixupdater confuses the heck out of me. I find it simpler to do all the file copying and manual folder stuff.

    Night Vision Goggles

    Beat you Bunster, ;) And no I did not edit my post
  16. I think it should be naturally assumed that if a sniper has no issues going on a shooting spree, that he has a bear trap behind him. Disarming and taking a bear trap should not require a toolbox, and as such, it would be a simple matter of taking the bear trap from the sniper.

    Supermarkets. Wat do?

    Uggg, russian hospitals: If I ever wake up in one, I am RUNNING

    No zombies in forests?

    I think someone posted a video of a bandit getting mauled by some zeds after he was sniping for a while. Would have to dig for it though.

    Night Vision Goggles

    http://dayzwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Night_Vision_Goggles
  20. Note that increasing gamma/brightness is more effective in Full Screen mode of the game. I play window mode, and gamma does nothing while brightness only increases the brightness a little bit. In fact, in window mode, I have the brightness all the way up, except for when there are no clouds or my blood is really really low.
  21. Rocket has stated in one post that he might (and probably did) make the heartbeat system slightly random. Even players with no kills might have a heartbeat, though those with tons of kills might have a higher chance of having a louder/faster heartbeat. All in all, the system was implemented as a means to give more tension to the game: The heartbeat MIGHT be a signifier of a bandit, but then, it might not be.

    Arma II free question

    Windows XP: Right click desktop, click "Properties". Display Properties shows up. Click the "Settings" tab, then click the "Advanced" button. Your graphics brand/model should be listed in the title of the new window, and if not you can click the "Adapter" tab. Windows 7: Click the Start button , click Control Panel, and then, under Appearance and Personalization, clicking Adjust screen resolution. Click the "Advanced Settings" link, and you should be able to find the version somewhere there (at the office, only have XP here, ;) )

    Combine stacks of ammo....possible?

    Sorry if this doesn't load: I can't load youtube vids at work and am restricted to finding them through google, and in this case google can't find it so I had to go mobile: Otherwise, you can find it on the DayZ Guidez channel below. Oh, the vids about how to combine ammo types.

    No zombies in forests?

    Zombies already will wander into forests. In the latest patch, if you sit in an area and eat/drink/shoot, even zombies from far away will come ever so slowly to inspect the sounds.
