1 min intro?? For pretty typical "pvp" montage?? Very plain and not original.... Lastly, it was static, and not dynamic at all... :emptycan:

Not really for the gear this time, but rather the character itself. Meet Max, all shiny and chrome!! This blood bag is famous!! ;) Edit : Universal donor O-, just like Mad Max. ^_^

I can't wait to have the character screen "fixed". I really liked when they added the animations for pistol holding. But, since it's mostly working ok with the new ui, the old one will never gets "fixed". And I really don't like the new ui, either in-game or in the menu. It's still a work in progress of course, but the in-game ui looks like a terrible downgrade. It simply looks awful... And the menu logo is too big imo. But that,s just me...

The DayZ Colony US-1, WOBO EU community server,The Gents of Novo (either the USA or UK server) and if you like 1PP, the -UN- Clan server. All of these are private, open servers. Based on personal experience, all of these have good population, great admins without abusive behavior, and good player interactions, no matter what you're looking for.

Well, that's simply a personal opinion there. Right now the CLE isn't properly working, so as the loot distribution and the current despawn/respawn mechanic. It's all a work in progress. That being said, I personally love crash site hunting, and found more than 200 crash sites since they've been added in 0.45, when the model itself for smoking crash site wasn't the UH-1Y, but the Blackhawk helicopter. It's also less risky than the airfield for those lone wolves, more "hermit" play style players since the loot farming, and server hopping issues on public hive servers. Powerful military grade weapons should be rare, and crash sites spawns should remain restricted to them. It's part of DayZ, and makes the whole experience a lot better and more balanced than abusing the current item spawn system. Like I said, enjoy it while you can, as it will come back to normal in 0.59. As in fact, it's more of a bug/exploit than a proper working mechanic. "Issues with duplication, and magazine quantity manipulation have been identified and are being resolved, and NATO military gear will be moving out of the Quonset Hut Barracks and back to their proper NATO chopper crash spawns." https://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/229152-status-report-23-sept-2015/

Hit the thread below and post screens of your characters if you want. It's the place to hang around. Some very nice and original setups there. https://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/185071-post-your-gear-so-far/ The guy wasn't duping, he was loot cycling/farming the officers tent. Right now the loot that spawns only despawns if a player interact with it, thus the reason he was moving the stuff that was spawning out of the officer's tent for it to respawn new items, and so on. It's a very cheap way of "finding" M4s and "rare" items. But, soon this will be a thing of the past, as those items will go back to their proper chopper crash sites. And items will have their own despawn timer when the CLE gets updated. Personally, I love heli crash site hunting.

More than half of the shots didn't hit him, and the others, well, desync, lag and the actual area of the hit influences a lot how a player character will react. If he was a Terminator, you would all have been killed, and he wouldn't have run around like that... ;) B)

All types of 5.56 STANAG and CMAGS spawn at the "officer's tents". (10 rnd, 20 rnd, 30 rnd, 40 rnd CMAGS, and 30 rnd STANAG, 30x2 coupled mag.) Eventually I really hope they remove the 30x2 STANAG coupled mag, as it makes no sense that the bullets from one the mags teleport themselves into the chamber prior to being shot, instead of a quicker reload animation. Either they change the animation, or simply remove the mag. As we know, this could easily be replaced by the 100rnd double drum c-mag that was announced and shown about 8-9 months ago... Lastly, better enjoy those spawns right now, as with 0.59 the M4, Ak101, and other rare military spawns including attachments, clothes and weapons will be back exclusively at NATO crash sites (UH-1Y Bell "Venom" chopper, the smoking ones.) and Russian (Mi-8) crash sites. P.S. : As for new weapons, it's cool, but I already have a favorite right now (The engraved 1911) so unless they eventually add an FN P90, I'll be happy with all the weapons already in the game... It's all a matter of taste! Like Herkyl loves his Skorpion!

When you're double carrying sometimes you get stuck in animation, seemingly standing up for other players. Press your vault key to get out of this stuck animation.

These are fantastic concepts in my opinion. Looks like things we saw in the DayZ 2017 mod, which I used to really enjoy!!! I wonder if we'll eventually see things like that eventually.

That works. Or, you can just build a fire... No need for matches or an axe. Just find a gravel spot and search for stones, then when you have one craft an improvised knife. Chop down a bush or two with the knife, you'll get sticks. Get close to a tree and collect bark, 2 pieces. Craft a fireplace kit with one bark + one stick. Craft a hand drill fire starting kit with the other bark and another stick. Light the fire with the hand drill and add sticks to the fire so it keeps burning, you'll get warm in no time. Using waterproof clothes will fend off getting wet from rain, and usually have a higher isolation rate so they'll keep you warm too. Raincoats, and firefighter jackets/pants are the best for this. Good luck, and safe travels!

A friend shared a link about it, since he knew I enjoyed anything post-apocalypse and zombie related. I tried it, and was immediately hooked. I then started watching videos about the game from Frankieonpc, and was very entertained by the content created using this mod. I never stopped playing and following progress towards the stand alone.

They won't remove the infected buddy, they are working pretty hard to make them much more dynamic than ever before. That being said, your taste in the mod is very personal. It's in no way better than the Stand Alone. I started with the mod when it came out. We rented a server and built a small community. I really enjoyed it and played for about 1100-1300 hrs. I went back to a vanilla mod (can't stand those "epoch"/base building things, I hate that with a passion...) server a few weeks ago, and although it's still fun, there's a lot of nostalgia factor that comes along, adding to the experience of revisiting the mod again. The current state of the stand alone remind me a lot of the post apocalyptic world shown in the movie "The Road", and it's basically the only game that I ever seen a post apocalypse without zombies, aliens, robots, dinosaurs or mutants, that feel as immersive as DayZ. Of course, all of this is based on personal feelings and opinions, as in the end, it's just a video game, a means of entertainment, and the experience is different for everyone. Although I miss the infected and really look forward to them coming back, I'm enjoying every step of the journey we're taking following the development of DayZ. Yes, I agree, zombies do matter.

Thunder is still in, but, much quieter than it was, and there's no more lightning strikes. That's all gonna change with the updated renderer. It'll be one step at a time, don't expect huge changes all at once though. Even though I love lightning and thunder, the lightning strikes used to look a little bit silly in my opinion, being too curved instead of being like a real lightning strike. As for the nights, I hope eventually they get back to being pitch black, if there's no other source of light like the moon, etc. A cloudy night, without electricity, in the country side, believe me, is pitch black.

Thanks dude! :thumbsup: Means a lot coming from the master of screenshots!! B) I love dusk-night-dawn in DayZ. It's simply makes amazing landscapes to take screenshots! :lol: (Adding a gas lamp here and there, or lighting fire in houses adds a lot to the night shots imo.)

Dude, chill. It's just a bug. It's all part of the creation process of the game. It happens. Why now? Why like this? Check the code, find the problem and fix it. Oh wait, you're not one of the devs... I'd say deal with it right now, and when it's fixed, be happy with it. (I've eaten lots of meat recently, cooked, and haven't got any problems. Using the cooking pot, with water in it. You need to cook the meat thoroughly though.)

You can also find them at crash sites. Quite often when I'm fairly freshly geared I head around Green Mountain, find a crash site and it has both the knife (sometimes multiple combat knives) and the military boots.

They seem to have brought loot to their camp, which is why they went to the south west corner of the map. (Hundreds of player make their camp there it seems. They think it's hidden. Just like all those players making their camp on the edge of the map, north... :D ) Pretty harsh conditions for an ambush. Very nice try! :thumbsup:

It was probably Tatanko. I don't like my fish with too much seasoning, as it alters the natural flavors. And the little bits of rust tend to numb my taste buds too much. ;)

Somehow right now the only place it spawns is the huge town hall in Novodmitrovsk. It's the most water resistant and insulated clothing gear you can find. Comes in black and beige. Firefighter Olympic swimming team.

I haven't posted screens in this section for a while, so here it goes! I'm sharing a few shots from the past weeks/months. Enjoy!

You need to fill the cooking pot with water in order to cook something in it. If you don't want to use the cooking pot, you can always use a branch, which lets you see the transition from raw to cooked right away. If using a cooking pot, it takes about 3 minutes to cook the carp fillets. (Or mackerel.) I never got food poisoning from fish, yet.

We're still here, and not many have left in my opinion. But there's never been many of us anyway... ;) Can't wait for next experimental build to come. My only hope is that we always have at least a few 1PP experimental servers when there's a new build. I was very sad a couple of builds ago, when they suddenly were all removed for a while... These were my saddest DayZ days. :(

I love those kind of events. I'm part of The Colony that was created by fellow forum member Weyland Yutani, and we had some great events similar to this. Also, Tatanko have been organizing some events in the past months, and those have been brilliant too! Funny and interesting interactions are often plenty abound!!
