    DayZ Standalone: Secret Cave

    Great video! Fantastic editing! I use to go to that place a lot back in experimental 0.50, but recently they removed the 2 concrete hangars and the base has a different feel to me. I love those bunkers though and the deepest one can only make us think of the possibilities of underground facilities. The cave itself is pretty nice, and will see some updates soon with probably mine carts and rail tracks. To feel more like a mine instead of some natural cave. Pretty interesting anyway. I like the added sound effects. Keep it up Snaftii! :thumbsup:

    A Space Adventure [9:40] (My weirdest video till date)

    Time to go to space!! And save the lights!! B) Great video! :thumbsup: Amazing and rare footage!
  3. :lol: Haha!! Thanks Blunce!! No problem really. I know I'll die and I don't mind at all, but I have to say that with the private shards, small community created within private servers is something I really enjoy!! I spoke to ForsakenSpirit too, and planning a meet up eventually. I know I'm gonna get shot a lot of times, but I'll always try to talk to the players I encounter in any chance it's another forum member I know. (Or a non-hostile player) I'll post any interesting encounters I get. Take care Blunce and have a good one man!
  4. Been playing on your server for a little while ( a few days) and it's pretty good!! Lone wolf there so I'm being careful with who I interact with. Great server overall!! :thumbsup: (If I ever find a cache somewhere, it's more likely that there will be more items when I leave then when I arrived as I like to give gifts! ;) )
  5. In DayZ they do. I eat a rotten fruit. BAM!!! I'm sick.... It's a game. Honestly I don't really like this cannibalism thing, but I just don't do it cause it's me. But DayZ is a game... I try to never compare it to real life... Why are our characters in DayZ immune to this "rage" virus? Why everyone calls the infected zombies as they are not, even though they look, act and sound like them... If we want authenticity or "realism", DayZ is not the game to play. -Infinite running -Fictitious creatures in the form of infected/zombies -Characters unable to move while eating or drinking -Melee weapons such as axes, shovels, crowbars, etc.... is magically attached on the right shoulder. This one is one of the most immersion breaking and stupid thing I hate in DayZ. Always keep my melee on the backpack because of this... -Chernarus is a place where birds, insects and a lot of creatures simply don't exist... -etc -etc.... You get the point. It's a video game. 75% of what's in it doesn't make sense at all... Don't get me wrong. I LOVE DayZ. It's one of my favorite games! But, it's a game, and I'm not the one creating it so I have no control on how things are or will be. I just try to deal with everything that bothers me.

    DayzRealism

    Hmm... This has nothing to do with RolePlay, unless it's a military roleplay only server, this is just a PvP video.... :huh:
  7. Like always, fantastic video TRMZ!! Night time is awesome in DayZ, always liked it!! :thumbsup: Very intense encounter.

    Character reset happens more in 3pp than 1pp?

    I've never experienced a character reset. I often got the "Couldn't retrieve character from the main hive" message back in 0.48 and 0.49 when they were real, spawn fresh on the coast, but immediately looged out of the server to join again and always got my character back. Always.

    Lets post some screen shots (Standalone)

    Some night shots and other various screenshots. Mostly of the recent 0.51 experimental branch action. Enjoy!

    Apartment Mayhem!

    Beans for nice M4 ACOG action and finally getting the orange mountain backpack guy! :thumbsup: I don't really enjoy PvP, but good action is good action! B)

    Post Your Gear So Far

    With the arrival of private hives, character connected to one server is back again, and it reminds me a lot of the DayZ mod. I really enjoyed it and gotta say that with the stand, it's even more fun! (At least for me! :lol: I never liked the whole base building thing...) Anyway, I've been alive for a while now with this private hive character. Tried to make it look a bit like the one of the default skin you got when spawning as a survivor on the shore in the mod. On a side note, I switched the stock parts (handgrip and stock) between the AKM and AK74 and gotta say they look much "better" that way!! They look much similar to their DayZ mod/ArmA2 counter parts but overall they feel more authentic to me.

    Storytime: Just reached my endgame

    Totally agree.

    Storytime: Just reached my endgame

    True. But Streamers are not a reference. They do PVP to get viewers. They usually say a lot of non-sense. Players play to have fun, enjoy their entertainment and do it for all the reasons they find taking some time off the real world is important. I often see people go "It's just a game, to hell with integrity!" and laugh of their own contradiction of finding silly ones who set up self objectives. Of course, making it sound self righteous is absurd, but in all 700hrs+ of playing between survivor and hero style, I've never killed someone who didn't deserve it. I stick to my rules because I like the way the game evolves around this play style, and I don't impose it to others or say it's the right way to play the game, as there's no "right" way to play and enjoy games. Judging from the content of his story, the way it's written and the maturity of it's formulation, I'd say I believe 90% of what happened was true and as described. Which for me, is a true "hero" playstyle. Anyway, we're all monsters. The choices and decisions we make with the power in our hands makes us better, or worse monsters, but mankind will always be a monstrosity.

    A couple new sub forums

    I'd really like a Story section for anyone who wants to share stories. Maybe a pinned thread in the gallery for all the stories with screenshots added? Anyway, I like both ideas, as a bounty board places some objectives and somewhat, player based missions for all of us light role play fellas. :thumbsup:

    Storytime: Just reached my endgame

    Great story. I enjoyed reading that. Good job on those bandits. This is truly the stuff of heroes! :thumbsup: Keep it up! And share other stories if you ever get another good one like that! :beans:

    Lets post some screen shots (Standalone)

    Quoting something I said earlier, just stumbled upon a glimpse to what we can expect in terms of visuals with the updated engine. I love all the eye candy, but personally I want that oil lamp first! :lol:

    Can't we reset to 0.49 for a while?

    There's is no point going back to 0.49 as the game isn't going to stay in 0.50 forever... It's in development and not finished. If there's something that really bothers you, just go play something else and comeback to check if it still bothers you after a while. You always have the option to opt in experimental as the loot spawns are great at the moment. Anyway, we'll have other wipes, other patches, interruption of services and everything in between by the time the game is finished. Almost everything in the game right now is a place holder or an unfinished feature, so there's really no point going backwards.

    Hoods

    If they don't officially implement it, you can be sure someone will try (and probably achieve) making it for the game anyway as soon as we get the ability to create mods. Already was mentioned a few times though, maybe use the search function next time? ;) http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/212220-hoods-upoption/

    LRS messed up?

    You can, but ACOGs are rare as they only spawn at UH-60 crash sites, and PSO is still rare, spawning only at long barracks, but not frequently. Of course it would help, but it might take a long time to check.

    LRS messed up?

    I really don't know what caused it as I've never experienced nor heard of it anywhere.

    Dayz doesn't feel like dayz and heres 2 reasons whyu

    I'd like that. For those who don't like it, there's always the option to turn the music off. What I do in most cases. As for DayZ, it all depends on my mood and what I intend to do in my play session. I often play music in the background anyway. 28 DayZ/Weeks Later ;) , Stalker soundtrack, The Last of Us soundtrack and a few others are fantastic tunes to listen with DayZ, in my opinion. Understood very well what you said, but reads better this way. ^^

    LRS messed up?

    Hmm. I've never seen or heard about this bug. Have you tried changing resolutions to various + - 100%? Changing item details? (Low to very high) If nothing works, I'd say try and report the bug (you should report it anyway) supplying your system specs and detailing your graphic glitch. Maybe add a screenshot if you can. (Default Steam screenshot key is F12) Good luck! Don't give up!
  23. Elektro is indeed dangerous, but is often "action packed" and like Death by Crowbar said, you never know what will happen. Expect some chaos and death, but be ready to get some surprises from time to time! (I find it that it's less KoS and bloodbath than it was/is in the mod, but that's just from personal experience.)
