I really like the fact that we'll need the proper tools to make the modifications, that the weapons with possible attachments (M4, AKs, MP5, etc) will spawn with various attachments on them and mags with possible ammo in them, and that we'll need to access a workbench to modify weapons. The first possible workbench being in a building currently un-enterable. This one. Source : http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/222617-status-report-19-mar-15/

The PSO-1 will only be for the SVD Dragunov and VSS, as the AK family will have the Kashtan C-1 scope. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/224053-trello-chris-kashtan-c-1-preview/ http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/224537-trello-chris-svd-teaser/ So the PSO might be removed until we get the SVD and VSS, or not if we get the SVD in 0.56. Who knows.

The LRS will be removed for the mosin, and will probably be gone in the loot tables too, as a new 12x scope is coming for the civilian rifles. The mosin will only use the PU scope.

In DayZ, within the lore, it's known that the players are immune to the disease. Like others said too, the infected in DayZ are not "zombies" or undead, they are similar to the rage virus infected in 28 Days/Weeks later movies. The "Z" in DayZ is for zero, as in Day Zero, when your adventure begins spawning on the coast.

Fantastic timing! :thumbsup: Indeed the DayZ god is with you Tope! B)

It is indeed "T" by default, but right now only certain weapons have the option. The M4 has semi and full auto, it,s not showing, but you can select it. The Blaze 95 can be set to shoot both barrels at the same time with the select fire. The MP5, although showing on the model, is not currently set to select fire modes, but will be once most weapons gets balanced and tweaked. As for the AKM, it might become possible to select fire modes, but I'm not 100% sure like the MP5. Right now though, you can't.

Fashion show. Various characters/looks I currently have on public and private hives.

Amazing. Fantastic video. :thumbsup: Brilliant!

Definitely a bug, but looks fantastic! :thumbsup: It's the end of the world!

If you wanna see some nice roleplaying in DayZ, I'd suggest watching Snaftii's videos. I've watched a lot of his stuff since he started making them and he's also been mentioned on the community spotlight recently. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/224329-community-spotlight-22-apr-15/#entry2255203 For various interactions and light rp on private shard, there's no better place for me than the Colony. http://www.insidedayzstandalone.com/forum/ Safe travels.

Best way, at least for me, is with a suppressed pistol.... I've never aggro more than I could chew yet... Also, walk crouched to sneak. You can avoid most infected that way. You can get pretty close to them that way if they are not facing you. If they face you though, crouching closer than 10 meters from them will still get you aggro. Good luck!

It's what saved DayZ for me during a certain period where every server was plagued by hackers. The private server brought legit pvp fights, closed environment events with great interactions, role-play encounters as interesting, refreshing and funny I could ever wish to experience. But that's just my opinion too, based on personal experiences. ;)

"Play for free." Technically, the public hive is "rented" by the company/devs and have certain rules, like the fact that you can't password them or whitelist them, unless there's admin abuse from the individual who rent a public hive server. People have been able to rent public hive servers for a while, but they are open to everyone, as for the private servers are not connected to the public hives, and can be locked/passworded/whitelisted by those who rent the server. A lot of private servers are open so that more players come to the server. Some are whitelisted and have a community that creates certain "play environment" within the server, making it more role-play oriented. There's no server hoppers in private servers. Personally I think there should never have been the option to rent public hive servers. It only caused admin abuse and mischief... The public hive is great for casual players who want pvp action. It lets them find a server with a good population in the area they're in. It's the playground of hackers and abusers, beware. Since the private hives have been enabled, I've stayed clear of the public hive most of the time. It's been either experimental, or private servers, and on a few occasions the public servers.

I really wonder what will happen with mods. Dean was really looking forward to the possibility of modding the Stand Alone, but was also against the idea of having a stamina indicator of any kind. Now that he's gone, there's a high chance of seeing a higher detailed HUD than in the mod, and with a stamina/sprint bar, so who knows if we'll ever be able to mod the game. We'll see how it turns out, but if we ever get a modding tool and the ability to modify the game, it won't happen before beta or even, the "final" version. I still hope we get some, has it would grant us ever more possibilities for replay-ability than with the vanilla stand alone.

:thumbsup: Amazing play session.

Brilliant! :thumbsup: :lol:

Right now no matter how we see things doesn't matter. It WILL change. We're in alpha stage. Nothing's final right now. Yes, you can die even if healthy with one hit, from anything really. Once we hit beta, there will be some polishing and re-balancing. Once the game is finished, then we'll know how DayZ works. Right now, it's just guesses, trial and error, and temporary. P.S.: The WOBO community and Aggathor are doing a great job testing things out so we can learn how to deal with the current version of the game, and at every stage of the game. (almost) Unless the devs says "this" or "that" is official, then everything is purely speculations until confirmed via tests. And is bound to change anyway...

Instead of searching every building, you'll need to learn which building spawns what. But by then, the loot system will have changed and you'll have to re-learn everything again... :P That's what I do, and love about DayZ in it's current changing state. Best food you can get is rice, powdered milk and canned peaches. I mostly don't even bother with tactical bacon, spaghetti or other canned foods unless I need a drink and I don't have another supply of water. Beans, tuna and sardines are a great source of water, but not much on the caloric value. Good luck on your journeys ahead! There's really not much help you can get other than learning how to play really. The learning curve is in constant evolution right now.

Well said. B) I support this too. Thanks all. :thumbsup:

Congrats Snaftii!!! Been following him for a while now and if you like RP, his videos are great!! Well deserved! :thumbsup:

:thumbsup: Awesome shot! I had a great time! Thanks for sharing. B) (We can see Tatanko busy in the background lighting up those camp fires.)

Great shots raBit!!! Thanks for sharing!!! That was a pretty good evening! Can't wait to "blow more bubbles" in the next event! ;)

When posting something, you see the blue and green icon called "Special BBcode" next to "Font" selection in the post box? It's the third icon from the left next to the switch and white/pink eraser. Click on it and select "spoilers". Then post your screenshot between the spoiler boxes.

Thanks to everyone who attended! Glad I could provide some kind of entertainment with my guitar, really appreciate the comments. I hope next time Wyyland can stay a bit longer, and Nuggit can make it, so we can do a little jam session, and take more requests, as we'll have various repertoires! Here's some shots I took. After lots of gardening, the strain on raBit's arm became too much and he had to loose it. Successful operation. He recuperated very quickly. Weyland Yutani joined the party and provided some music too. Having a good time around the fire. Now most of the guests had left, and the rest of us decided to have a little flare fireworks festival going on. Thanks to Musty Gaming also for making this possible. Everyone's effort was very appreciated. :thumbsup:

:lol: Oh man!! :thumbsup:
