It's been a while since I shared some shots. Here we go. And this is my favorite shot of the past few months...

It's nice to set yourself some goals in this open world apocalypse game, without any storyline or objectives to follow, but this is just a bit too much. He's gonna miss a lot of things by stopping playing a game still in alpha, still being developed... We should never take it to this level of seriousness, it's not even a complete game yet. Oh well, to each his own way to have fun I guess.

Good job on your first video. Tense situation you had there. :thumbsup:

Current stable branch characters, and recently wiped experimental ones. (we just had a new exp patch today...) Stable 1PP Details Stable 3PP Details Wiped exp characters as of today. 3PP 1PP Going back to experimental to start again.

They are the "bandits" (I wouldn't call them bandits, as they don't rob players, I'd call them a militia, fanatics, terrorists, or simply killers.) They might have done good deeds here and there but now they became what they were initially hunting. If a player want to keep his name (just change it to be off "the list") but change his play style, he can't because he's gonna be purged. They try to be "friendly" but never give second chance and just execute you. Heck, closest thing to come in mind is ISIS. If you're on the list, you're an infidel, hence, you must die. :huh: (It's their server, they can have whatever rule they want as long as they respect the current rules to rent servers, but still, I wouldn't join this server. Not that I do "bad things", but I don't feel safe around people with power trips. I rather be robbed by bandits...)

Even if the guy (savior sniper on the "blue" building who had just killed the KoS sniper on the "yellow" building) was in his "bad guy" list, the dude just saved him killing the sniper that was taken shots at them... If he had been on the list, he would have been executed, even after saving two lives... :huh: And then, after helping each other, since he's on the "bad guy" list they kill Blunce. UN Clan are pure bandits with childish rules like these. It's very immature. I don't like them at all. It's not the first video I see with them having this kind of behavior. It's nice to warn others not to trust them.

Indeed. :thumbsup: B)

Hilarious! :thumbsup: Interesting turn of events. Great video!

Wow. Those guys know how to waste their time... You know where I stand Street, hackers, cheaters, stream snipers, they all fit in the "cheater" category for me. I really enjoy DayZ videos, and most video games videos, but I'm not that much into the whole streaming thing... By streaming you expose yourself to those kinda risks. Anyway, there's no honor, or a big lack of it, in a lot of online behaviors and interactions, and this is part of it too.

This was amazingly fantastic! :thumbsup: Thanks Sammy to have created and shared this! I really enjoyed that.

:beans: for Mad World. So much death...

Given and received saline bags, but never blood bags. Also never crafted arrows as I've yet found or went looking for chickens. As for the rest, some of them I did multiple times. I've found about 20-25 heli crash sites, crafted a fishing rod and caught fishes every time I could since they were first implemented, crafted lots of backpacks, and made lots and lots of camp fires to either cook fish or various meats. I've actually found a tent full of gear once, and left a present to the owner. B) (An AKM with a full 30 rnd mag.) I really like how crafted items are important items for me, and feel very useful. To each his own!

Welcome back Acebane. We missed you! ;) Sorry for being biased and not very constructive with the feedback, but I loved this video. The "authentic" title was perfect in my opinion, and the selection of music, editing and play style all add up to make an amazing video experience. Thanks for making and sharing this. :thumbsup: Here are some :beans: to get you healthy!

Nice work saving the fresh spawn at the beginning. Sad about the possible cheater encounter, but right now it's a terrible plague... Good video. Thanks for sharing. :thumbsup:

Really enjoyed that. Thanks for sharing! :thumbsup:

Sadly I couldn't reproduce the same effect you get on screen. Have you tried experimental? And if yes, does it do the same thing there? My guess is maybe it's the gpu drivers having a hard time with the DayZ engine itself. Even though the software itself is compatible, it still has some hiccups here and there. Last attempts I would do is download a more recent update for your cards drivers. (If it's not already done.) And still keep an eye out for anyone else who might have the same problems and have found a solution. Sorry, and good luck! :thumbsup:

Encountered a few in the mod, but only one in the SA. Full server, a group of 5 (Clan) of us near Rify, only two of or teammates died to him before we finally spot him. Didn't hear much as he had an infinite ammo sporter and was teleporting around. Some of our mates began to panic and wanted to leave the server, but our "leader" was pissed and started shooting at whatever direction he heard sporter shots or thought he seen the hacker. After a few M4 coupled mags shot in the surrounding woods, nothing. Calm. Silence. I began to trace back towards our leader and another member still alive, and what do you know, a dead fresh spawn with a sporter lying dead in the woods. We took the sporter and shot some fireworks at the sea (somehow his infinite ammo sporter shot tracers too...) while making a ceremony to dispose of it, properly, in the ocean. Making sure at least this cheater menace had died for the moment. They are truly a plague in any online game.

Try setting you "objects detail" setting to very high and see if it still does that. I'm not sure but normally I see those kind of textures from very far away as they are textures not yet rendered, to save FPS as you don't need to see that far, but from your screenshots, it happens at very close distance. I'll try and do tests later on to try and recreate what you see. I hope you can fix this.

:( So close. Consolation :beans:

I think there's a good chance the guy you killed was the one who tortured the other survivor. :thumbsup: Good thing you avenged him. I like the new infected model, but I find it creepy that he looks more recently infected than the other models, who seem to have darker skin and look more like zombies. It'll be even creepier when he gets his own sound fx, of infected rabid old man growling and screaming. Thanks for mentioning and linking my post. I try to share my experiences too, as really enjoy reading and learning about others' too. Nice post Rhodes! B)

It's the one behind the barracks, o top of the hill. It has 4 "levels" of stairs, and on the 2nd level you gotta be careful because pressing "s" (going backwards) 1 second too long can mean death as there's nothing behind you. The camera gets easily "stuck" on the walls when going down, changing the perspective drastically.

I went into the big one, all the way to the bottom, and back up again. Was there a problem with not being able to get out? Or just your basic DayZ ladder of death?

Yes, there's no need to argue, or have issues with something that we are 90% sure it's gonna change. Make it better or not will be, in the end, still a matter of personal choice as it's impossible to "balance" the game to make everyone love the game and think it's perfect. Not matter what happens in the end, and during process, some will still hate the hunger system for whatever reason they see fit.

Alpha. Balancing. Mods. We have very good chances of seeing the 3 points you shared being implemented eventually, one way or another. But in all honesty, no "noob" should "play" a software in early stage access, commonly known as alpha, and think it would be "easy" or believe he'll have a great time. I really enjoy DayZ SA, but I've had a lot of experience in unfinished games and softwares, and knew what I was getting myself into. If you just meant "noob" as a new player in non-pejorative way, then I've been a noob, and survived. Each experimental patch places you in front of new challenges with the mechanics and such so each time you opt it, you're a noob.

I have been testing out and playing experimental branch since they first started giving us access to it. Always opted in every time there was a new experimental build. After the first 3-4 experimental versions, they started to wipe characters every time. I've started new more than a hundred times. It's easy. At least for me, I'm not saying it's easy for everyone... But when I play, I'm the one playing, so I like it... It's easy. B) It's fun. Have fun. (Or at least try to, if you can't, than find another game or source of entertainment. It'll be easier that way.)
