:o Haven't seen one like that yet. Nice! :thumbsup: Thanks for sharing! (looks creepy!!)

I wish more people/players would use them. I think I wasted 3 or 4 batteries keeping my radio on and switching channels to pick something up while running across the map. Heck, used them to send distress signals (some light RP) but only encountered survivors who caught my voice in the vicinity.

GG! Interesting ending! Thanks for sharing!

The ones doing the gameplay changes, or animations, or buildings, or anything non-related to items/guns are not the same. The dev team is spread out and they all have their things to do. It's a bit faster to add items and weapons than to create a good AI or to change engine. Anyway, thanks for sharing OP!! Great video!

WOw! Intense firefight! GG!! :thumbsup:

Congratulations! :thumbsup: Fantastic mate! Thanks for sharing the details of this voyage! :beans:

Never had any character reset in 300hrs +, since December 18th 2013. Rejoin the server where you geared up and your character will still be there. The only official "wipe" we get is with experimental branch from time to time depending on the version. Have fun!

GG! Nice video again René! Thanks for sharing.

Didn't get a chance to comment before. Man what a bloodbath!! :o Insane stuff Sammy. Thanks for sharing!

Went there on stable yesterday, and on experimental too, and haven't seen it since 0.43. It's still on DayZ DB map, but it's gone in-game. Wonder why.... :(

Hmmm. I don't see any problems with that. They said M4 wouldn't spawn in the military spawns of Balota, NEAF, NWAF or any military bases and would be a heli crash spawn only. And it's exactly what's happening. They don't spawn in prison, barracks, ACT, hangars, etc. Only at heli crashes. An heli crash at Balota, is still an heli crash and doesn't mean M4 spawns in normal military spawns. They are still rare in my opinion, as for every M4 I come across, I've just passed 10 SKS, 5 Mosin, 15 shotgun, 25+ pistols, etc. You get the point...

Eventually, we'll have as many characters as we want. When we get "real" private servers, they will each have their own "hive" (like in the mod) so your Reg character for the official servers will still be there just as like your hardcore character for the official servers, but for each private server, regular or hardcore, you'll have a different character. (If it's anything like the mod. The server structure is almost identical.

There was a dev tracker post a few months ago showing screenshots of possible fog, but I'm not sure it's worth it with the current engine. Might have to redo it again when they change engines.... We'll see, but I agree and would like to see fog too.

I like those ideas. :thumbsup: Diversity is always welcome and this makes things more interesting too.

Thanks Modis!! B)

:(

This was before 0.45 patch right? Infinite ammo 1911 much?? They fixed that now. :lol:

B) Nice! :thumbsup: (Love campfires and stories, both go well together.)

Well, honestly, I've been playing the mod since it came out, and I was very surprised to see how fast you can run in the Stand Alone. It takes 20 mins from the NEAF to the NWAF.... Bicycles were very useful in the mod, but I don't think I'll be using them much in the SA. Other vehicles probably since they'll act as mobile bases. At the OP (Jumpingpea), good luck finding yourself! (You're in the northern part of the map. The roads you were following are there because they'll add cities and town in those areas. Back in December, all the roads for Svetlojarsk, Chernaya Polana, Novo and other small settlements were already there even though it took a few months to get the actual buildings and towns in those areas. Just head south. When you log in a server, look at the time, if you're in the after-noon and the sun is setting, keep it on your right shoulder and you'll head south east. If it's the morning, then the sun will be east so keep it on your left shoulder and you'll be heading south west, towards what's left of civilization. ;) )

Wow!! Great work!! :thumbsup: Really enjoyed that video!

Current hardcore stable branch. Current regular stable branch.

They'll probably be random at some point, but right now they are at fixed locations, but spawns random on server restarts. Edit: The locations are the same, but they don't always appear on each server restart.

Been having a blast lately testing out fishing, hunting, looking for crashed heli, changing apparel/gear/clothes around. Not playing quite as much as I want to, but still, for an alpha, DayZ gives me great enjoyment!! B) To each his own.

It's 5.56 ammo. (Small typo maybe.) Like Amias said, they spawn at helicopter crashes only lately. You can fin those crashes around the NWAF. There's one confirmed near the tarmac in the middle of the said airfield, one north west of the military base around coordinates (43 , 68) and one that I found at (22 , 47) north of Lopatino. (Yes, gamma and brightness are cranked up so you can see the said crash.)

Camp fires. Love them in survival games. Can't wait till we can correctly upgrade them and it shows, and we get sound effects for them too. This entry is mostly showing some of my favorite screenshots of camp fires. B) Enjoy! (This last one's one of my favorite.) Can't wait till we can upgrade them to something like this! (P.S.: This is not my screenshot and was shot from a Dev and shared via Reddit.) Edit: Added some more that I missed.
