This is interesting ... I will have to test this tonight when I play next to see what's up ... Hopefully somebody is doing something in the dark ;)

Ambient music was the only thing making it "more dark" , as soon as standalone has all its content and the art team starts goring up the map im sure those getting nostalgic for the mods ambience will start appreciating dayz standalones more ... AKA: Early access !

Yep persistence = true survival experience , especially with 12 hour restarts and accelerated time ! Now all we need is for the respawning and despawning mechanic to be polished up to par !

It took me about 6 months playing at least a couple hours a day to get to the point where I can actively run through high population towns and meet people without succumbing to their banditry . All it takes is for you to die a couple dozen times and make sure you learn something from each death!

Need more rooftop access anyways ... Remember when we could get on top of the bell tower in Cherno ? They removed that like 6 months ago for some reason .,, I really hope they are planning on adding it back and also making buildings like this one accessible to the top !

The character is about 6 feet tall , but the camera is centered in his throat it seems ...

Yea I use imgur.com , just find the screenshots in your steam screenshot folder (after taking the screenie with "f12") open imgur , and literally drag and drop the image onto the web browser , it will ask if you want to edit it just skip that and upload .. Now it will give you multiple format options on the right , copy the one that says "bbcode for forums" and go to your thread and just paste the code into the text box and it should show the picture when you complete the post !

Try going into settings snd putting your VOIP settings up (maybe all audio as well) and check to make sure your playback devices (taskbar has a playback device button) are all set to the proper things (like if your using headphones make sure it's playing that back instead of your TV speakers ).

I believe we'll see snow in the long run of DAYZ . I believe .

Ima ride a motorcycle with a spike helmet and be all jackass looking like with those really high handle bars .... No one will stop me as long as I also have a skorpion smg muahahaha !

They were showing how modding is possible , they just quickly ported namalsk into SA , so technically modders can do it but the devs themselves said they won't do it officially .. But it does prove to An extent that snow textures ARE possible on standalones engine , and that was at least 3-4 months ago !

I used a bow again Because of you flimflamm, ynfortunately on experimental they are very buggy and required me to constantly reload my stack of five for the next arrow to load , and when I realized my character releases like a 6th grader dicking around with a bow in gym class , I decided to throw my bow at the deer and shoot them with my magnum instead .. Great guide man , I seriously hope that the bows get polished though because as of right now using them is putting yourself at a serious disadvantage even against small game that doesn't fight back ... I shoot bow every week irl , not professionally mind you, but when I first started I realized how to control that recoil but my character , he just loves to shoot all the way to the left for some reason , it must be a bug with experimental because it seemed a little too far for average bow recoil !

Good idea ! But preservation of meat (especially with smoking and salting) has been talked about by the old lead dean hall, it said it would definitely make it in eventually so I'm hoping they are still planning that, and since we are getting more into the cooking aspect of the game we should definitely see it soon IMO !

For someone who can stay away from dayz for 6 months I would say you should stay away until it's out of early access . Most people can't deal with minor frustration .

I think you're way off with your 15% factor and what are you comparing It to ? The mod ? Arma 2 OA? You do realize the ONLY difference between that and this is base building and advanced vehicles ? Why are people so fucking in love with such a crap mod (sorry mod fans, only 2 mods ever caught my attention like sa did ) and letting the nostalgia of it blind you to what's really the perfect image of zombie survival (dayz sa) . This game already has 2X more content than the mod , arma2 or arma 3 has .... Oh yayyy I get to drive 2,000,000 different types of vehicles/guns when I play that definitely means it's a great game ... Lol some people just want everything at once I can't wait to see when this game is fully released (and I would say it's just about 65% complete ) cuz people have been complaining about sa since it released yet it's potential is already soaring past the mods and arma 3s , not to mention the content is just about to surpass the content level in arma games and old dayz mods when advanced vehicles and base building is in. Literally that's the only damn thing people ever care about , take some time to realize the uniquities of standalone itself and you will realize it's building a base that's far larger than the content and immersion base set by the mods and arma 3 ... They just won't compare in terms of content when dayz is finished and they already DONT compare with realism / immersion (sure the mod has a soundtrack and more gored up environments but standalone is working on that and already has a much better feel for a survival game ).

Well this is a plead post mostly , it's centered aroun the watch , that item that I miss the most in dayz from the mod . Now that all servers on experimental branch are runnin on accelerated time why not have the return in watches so that we can see exactly what time it is when we have one ? I loved the feeling of seeing my watch say 15 minutes til sundown, it just makes the feeling of rushing back to base all that more realistic ! So if anyone has a dev comment regarding this I would love to see it :)! We need watches back !!

I wish the spawns were more plentiful , I feel like the landscape is barren of animals except for a few areas on the map that they reliably spawn . I'm sure it's only like this for performance purposes but I would really love to see waaaay more animals spread out all over and in herds even !

Yes , ^ this needs to happen not just a silly watch that shows up on the screen like day mod

I would like to hear of the undead as well ... And what about making the Lockpick mechanic more robust ? With persistence being worked on so heavily and camps are growing more complex I would love to see doors become breakable sooner rather than later to spice up bases and raiding of them '

That Falling animation is amazing ... I can't wait to see someone fall off of a building and have a bunch of zombies fall on top of him trying to get a meal !!

This is awesome, I always try to play a cop (because there's no riot gear yet) and this would be an awesome item to search for before getting my role play on , also I would like to see pepper spray that blurs vision come into the game at the same time as this belt !

Fishing .... Has been in for a long Time... Whatchu talking 'bout Willis? But I definitely agree we need inflatable boats (a rare find like a tent maybe) and also engine based boats and even canoes that you have to paddle (that would be my favorite).

Yep, that would be a spawn point :) ... I'm gonna look around for an Svd as well, but then use it to snipe people sniping people .... Wait , does that mean someone's going to be sniping me after I snipe ? Sniper no sniping ?

I miss I44 dayz mod lol , such an awesome setting. Zombies in world war 2 , I would frequently find the mp-40 and this gun In that game near a firestation then proceed to rendezvous with my allies ... I wonder if there will be some unique setting mods for dayz standalone (like world war 2 themed mods and such). But ya adding this gun could wait .

Lol I think they zoomed in a bit much ! But Tatanko did you do any editing to that image or is your computer just from the year 2033?
