The reasons why i bought this SA edition are these ; The price will go up when fully released I want to be part of the beta/alpha and help the crew with bringing forward ideas and suggestions The game will be better in the long run and i can follow it from the start.

In which case i'm delighted and i'll wait patiently.

Some may know Dslyecxi from his shacktac operations, but recently he's been posting some DayZ SA content. Here's a few of his sportmanship and heroic actions against bandits and silencing him, one... at... a... time...

was thinking the same XD

So i left this topic a bit open to discuss. And i knew some people would point out certain things and i let them. Here's a little thing; There are no " barriers ". You can be killed in the safe zone. I used the term "safe zone" in that it's a camp build, walled off and protected from zombies and possible bandits. People would be able to enter, and trade items for items or items for currency. Nothing would be generated, everything has to come from the outside. This said, i do understand why other consider this a bad idea. However, there is always a risk of getting shot. The arguement stating that bandits would simply wait a bit back for people to wander off is the same as you going into balota,NWAF,Electro,Cherno or any other place that is popular, has lots of loot and has frequent activity. I never said there aren't any strings involved. Now that the mayor issue here is answered. I'd say continue the discussions while i'm commenting on some of the other issues here on this idea.

As i don't find tazers in the list. Here it is; Add a tazer, good for knocking people out, can be lethal when the person hit has a stressed out heart ( from running long ways example) You can knock them up, rob them, and so on. Issue here is, close range only.

Oh people still commented on this. Whenever Dslycxi posts a new vid, i'll bring it here. <3

SKS is the russian counterpart of the DMR. Although less accurate and with a reduced effective range of fire. But put a scope on it and you're good to go.

he flew his little bird into enemy lines, got shot down, repaired in the middle of a few tanks firing at the cobra saving his ass and made it back into the air with the same heli.. Oh it's his cup of tea :D

rocket said in a reddit comment about the condition of canned foods he said; "about the condition of canned foods determine if a can of food is still edible. As an example, a can of sardines in a bad condition may be leaking and thus the contents inside are no longer guaranteed to be edible. It's entirely up to you to dare to eat it or not as spoiled food can be dangerous for your health" or something like that. i can't find the exact post anymore.

Let's not forget that there were plenty of guns "implemented" in early beta's. AK's, DMR's, I believe i saw early pictures with a survivor running around with an AS50. SKS could be a new implementation, but why should he? He already has the mosin, people snipe to much in this game :/

Then i apologise for making that point again then.

So far i haven't found any mosins laying around. The fact i found a mosin myself was because of 2 bandits spawning right behind me in a house after i was looting the place. Swing swing with the axe [Censor]

As he said in that video later on. It's FPP only (First Person Perspective), they already cleared the area beforehand when they were marching up, their attentionlevels dropped immense. Plus because of the limited view, they didn't notice him. and not to forget, he was camoflaged. had no colourfull items like red or yellow, so he blended in. Not stupid, but just not carefull enough...

It's not about attention, it's showing content to others who AREN'T Familiar. He has very good content, why bash the poor guy?

*OMG A GUY DIDN'T SHOOT HIM SO IT MUST'VE BEEN STAGED* he already gave a gun to a guy, why shoot him when he gives you one of the most precious items in this game?

Nighttime in this game is a headscratcher like OP said. what most people forget is that they're living in illuminated areas overnight. Forgetting how bright a night can actually be when there are no clouds blocking the moon from giving off his light. Just go camping to a place in the forrests where there is no artificial light around. You can actually see the stars, something you can't when living in illuminated areas. Light polution is a polution, and the devs should lighten up the night a bit.

I wondered the same thing, i went down spawned right at balota. Went to search everything, nothing there. All i found was an orange and an empty waterbottle. Then i checked a complete empty server. Took a while to get it, checked balota, the airfield, everything. All doors were closed and unsearched. very few loot if none found. Something caused this patch to be completely empty when it comes to loot, i searched for 1 hour and all i found was an orange, a pair of sneakers, a bottle and an armature for an M16... ON AN EMPTY SERVER THAT HAD A FRESH RESTART...

As a freshmen survivor in the day z standalone, i wonder what your funniest pvp kill was. Mine was today, i was at the NWAF and i saw a sniper near a bush sniping people with a mosin. I sneaked up behind him and managed axe him in the balls. he then turned around and i chopped his face off with my axe after a few swings. What makes this so funny is that the kid ( less then 12 i suppose) in broken english said; " Wah matherfocker giiiet awaaaay from meeeeee" and i think i heard a tear falling before he died. With that same axe, i killed a bandit spawning behind me while i picked my axe up yesterday when i spawned near berezino for my first ever game... Now gentlemen please, share your stories with me :D

Maybe you should make videos. You would get lots of subs!

As a freshmen survivalist, i've seen some funny and shocking stuff. some of which i've explained before on this forum. But i'm going to keep a dairy or as i like to call it a "dayz-ree" on the events when i play day z. everytime i die, I will call my character a different name. NOTE: I'm belgian, my english may be rusty at some points. don't eat me for that thanks! d^^b 15-01-2014. Character -JIM- ----------------------------- I logged in on a fairly full server for the first time. "Jim" spawned with nothing except a flashlight. I spawned right inside a town. I think Berezino, but could be mistaken. So anyhow, at one point, i enter a large house, one of the last houses before my trek west toward electro-cherno. I opened the door, and i found a fireman axe in front of a flipped table. "Excelent, i have a weapon against those zombies now." I equipped the weapon, and to my surprise i suddenly heard "Hands up or i shoot!" A bandit spawned right behind me in the other room when i picked the axe up. As a new player, i didn't knew how to "surrender". and when he started aiming for my head and shouted "hands up or i shoot" one more time. I'd figured i'd be dead before i got to the controls panel. I lunged to him and managed to hit him right in the head. He tumbled down lifeless. I've been in the game for 5 minutes and i already have blood on my hands. I checked his gear, he had a used mosin, with a prestine scope on, an ammo box with both 5.62 rounds and 45. rounds for his sidearm. I took his clothes, his tactical vest, his throusers, his combat boots and before i could pick up his helmet. I heard another person shooting me. Must've been his buddy spawning behind him, since he spawned in the house opposite of where i was currently. he sprayed his rounds all around the house through the windows. he got a shot at me, and he hit me. I was bleeding severely, but he was out of ammo. and it seemed he only had one mag and wasn't paying attention because i selected the mosin and took a clean shot right at his head. So i took a medical bandage and applied it. and headed to the other house after i took the helmet i was supposed to pick up before being shot at... He was loaded! M16 all prestine parts, he had one mag, empty. with also an ammo box with roughly 120 rounds for his gun. Suddenly i realised i couldn't takeall of the good stuff. And at that point god was listening because suddenly i heard somebody yelling "I'm friendly, don't shoot me please!". I looked around and i saw a figure running away from the dooropening when i turned around to look. He yelled it again " please don't shoot me! The name's jackson. I saw you moving in that first house and i suddenly heard shots inside. I thought someone else got you. Then i saw somebody shooting from the other house and you moved out the other house. I figure you're friendly... i'm not armed! I'm a fresh spawn." and some other jibber jabber i couldn't remember. I said him his name (well not jim but for this dairy it's jim) and said it was alright and told him the story of the night with the fireaxe and he had a laugh. I suggested we formed an alliance and gave him the other guys stuff. We were both fully armed, fully stocked and ready to move. So the plan was to get to balota, to check for ammo and military gear. since i only had 30 mosin rounds with around 55 for the sidearm. while he had only a bit less then 120 rounds for the m16. We passed 2 small town before we went up on the mountain to see how electro has changed and for a quick scout on our way. We decided to stick most northward of the town, close to the trees. When we passed electro, we heard gunshots coming from the centre of electro. "Good thing we ignored the centre for loot" i said. "Well, i like to take my chances, it's not that we're not armed." Jackson was very enthusiastic. Like he wants action. Me, i just want to survive my first day on Day z SA... We went to cherno. First thing i noticed were the apartments. I knew that they were accessible all to the top. Plus i knew that balota was a sniper haven and that the server had 26+ players. I asked him if he wanted to go around. but the answer was no, he was ready... Poor chap, never saw it coming. I suggested we stick close to the treeline. He was okay with that. When we passed the first block of the apartment. I heard gunfire. It was distant, and i figured it comes from balota/the larger apartment blocks up ahead. "This is bad" i said to him. He just schrugged it off and offered to take the lead. We aproached the second complex. Jackson looked up and said " i think i see someone on the roof", he took cover behind a tree and peeked right and said "he's on the second roof on the left" I peeked down my scope and saw a top of a head move toward us on t he roof. The angle was to bad for me to shoot him, a man who stays on a rooftop isn't a friendly. So i moved a bit further away from him to get a better angle. Jackson came with me, but before jackson could get close to me, the sniper noticed him. *bang* one shot and jackson died. his body was 50 meters away from me and i quickly shot him in the head. It almost missed, but he moved toward the bullet. He dropped and i went to check on jackson. Unfortunatly, as i discovered earlier. You don't survive a shot to the head. Jackson died. So i did the best i could think off. I took his ammo box, dropped my mosin in the forrests and took his M16. I cleverly disposed of jackson's items in the woods, spreading it out. it took me some time, but scavengers wouldn't get the best out of him. I took his camo clothing and made scraps out of it. I did took his pack, i was runnign around with a mountain pack, he had a miltary 30 slot pack. Better camo rating at the loss of 5 slots. Still worth it. So i figured i did the best i could of disposing of jacksons stuff. I went further toward balota. the closer i came, the most shots i heard. I figured that all the loot would be gone by now and decided to walk around the base. But then i saw a group of 7!!!! men enclosing around a person looking for a firearm. I came closer to investigate,very close until i was able to hear them talk. and it seemed the group cuffed him and wanted to play games with him. They first took his blood " blood bandits" i thought. But then they were sadistic. Shot him in the knee twice and were about to force feed him rotten food. I used adrenaline and sprayed down 5 of them in the back before the sixth one tried to fire at me. I was lucky, because the idiot aiming at me used his revolver for the guy handcuffed and happened to only have 2 rounds in his gun. I reloaded and shot him down. when i searched for the 7th guy, he logged off beforei could get him. The guy cuffed still lived, He bandaged himself and i gave him morphine and some injectors. Then i took the bloodbag from the bandit and gave him his blood back. he said "thank you, first time i see somebody trying to save me from a group this large." I just schrugged it off and said " well, take whatever you want from these guys. I already have what i need except the ammo for this gun." I searched for additional ammo and found roughly 300 rounds of them on several dudes. enough to fit my ammo box and my spare magazines... The guy who i saved asked my name. "Jim" i said in which he revealed himself to be peter. We made an alliance and we shared each other our skype data. We both logged off at the same location and said to meet each other the next day when we're both on skype... 16/01/2014 Character -JIM- ------------------------------------- So I contacted peter, and we went online on a 10+ player server today. When i logged in, peter was waiting for me. Peter asked if we would check balota again. for medical items. Peter went in to the baracks while i was covering him fro a distance. He came back with 2 bandages and a saline bag. "good enough" i tell him. and we move toward kamerevko or whatever it's named. we scavenged some more homes and decided it was time for us to head toward the NWAF and stay there. We passed a "military base" with no military loot and went on toward petro (or something close liek that, my russian is rusty) We took climbs and decents, and it took us a good hour before we were finally at the NWAF. peter and i zoomed in and to see everything clear and silent from around a km away. "Looks like it's quiet" peter said. I said ; "I've been here plentyfull of times. You should be afraid when it's quiet... when they're firing you can find their positions, when they're silent you cannot" he said " fair enough" and proposed to split in 2 groups. peter would cover the east, i would cover the south. and we would meet at the top of the airfield near those formations of rocks. So we went on our way. Peter said he saw someone running over the airstrip toward the hangers. I stopped and saw a shady figure running in crouched position over the field. I resumed my walking until i heard mosin shots. Peter said it wasn't his, and since the shots were pretty close. I went on and went closer and closer to the guy firing at the another guy at the airstrip. When i spotted him, i had this moment of me derping. I equiped my axe, and started chomping at his balls. figuring that people sniping for far distance don't have them in the first place, he wouldn't notice. But he did, and he turned around and started shrieking "Omg motherfucker get away from me" in communications. I figured he was a kid since he was starting to cry for some reason. And one final blow to the head did it for the silence. Peter saw it from a distance, and asked if I was okay. I laughed a bit and confirmed my sanity is still in place for now. We moved on and peter was forced to give away his position to a person trying to kill him with a revolver. He killed him, and peter was panicking. He seemed to think that his cover was blown but it wasn't. as we were the only ones left on the airfield. we went in to check for loot. Peter found himself a new sidearm and I took pleasure by replacing my damaged combat boots into worn ones. we went a bit more north, and peter said he was going to get to his girlfriend or something. In which we both logged off safely away from any human settlements in a bush...

:(

It's a story XD.

How do you guys like it so far? today i'll write more again for more stories of JIM! :D

Yeah, i notice it's a bad idea. I logged off today in the woods in a bush in prone position far away from a road. so i should be good the next time i respawn.
