Check high rise apartments. Apparently they are spawning there. We found one in a feed shack on .49 experimental but apparently they don't spawn there anymore.

I made a D size print of the map and keep it folded up next to me or hang it on the wall. Much easier IMO than toggle between Steam browser or even the in-game map. The issue with the dazdb map and ones like it is they don't offer elevation info like a topographical maps does, plus I don't care for the loot spawn information.

I think it's worth creating. I mean look at all the new poeple or casuals that don't read the dev tracker forum section yet they create a thread or post asking when X is going to be fixed, or when X feature is going to be added, etc when it's already been covered and discussed elsewhere. These threads and posts get created daily on here, other social media sites such as reddit and even spamming the dev's via twitter all asking about things that have or are currently being address in the status reports. It just seems these people aren't knowing where to look or are too lazy to look, so I figure putting something in upfront where it's impossible to overlook would give them direct access to the status report(s) and any dev blog post they might of missed since their last visit.

"Howdy partner! Want some candy?"

As always nobody does it quite like Falcon, you sexual snake you.

Probably best to post in the medic thread if you need help rather than in here but who knows maybe someone will come help lol. Here is my latest exp character. Need to find a deer to make the "nut sack" backpack to complete the look. American Ninja in Chernarus... rider's jacket + green cargo pants + jungle boots makes for a nice look and contrast IMO.

Here's my current HC stable character. Going for Russian bandit hunter spec ops look :D

Yup. Hicks has confirmed this as well. It will be interesting to see what the modding community comes up with. I hope for some new maps!

Gotta love it when this stuff happens :P

Nice! Never seen that video and damn pooping really was in the game files! :D I wouldn't look for these streams to be the leading edge for new additions or plans for the game. They will use the status report for that since it's a more formal means of media than a livestream. This is just another way to keep everyone up to date and be more engaged with the community. I just wished the maturity was a little better in the twitch chat but it's expected. Glad the mods jumped in quick with the ASCII dick bombing :|

Glad Septic remembered to ask Hicks about the mud and face painting conversations we had. I think it would be pretty cool to walk down to a pond and use mud to add camo or war paint, like in the Predator and Commando movies heh. M1NDR also suggested we could use cow patties if you're in the wide open fields lol. Maybe even use ash from a fire pit. Just something to help add to the character customization so everyone's face doesn't look the same. After seeing Hicks kill himself intentionally several times just to get a better spawn, i felt it was fitting to ask about suicide and how we haven't heard anything since the first trailer. Hicks said it has been discussed and it's more than likely going to happen but it's just not priority right now which is certainly understandable, I just wanted to hear from him on it. I believe he said its probably something we would see in Beta. He also mentioned we would need a gun to commit suicide which I don't really fully agree with. IMO we should be able to do it with any sharp or blunt melee weapon like an axe, hammer, screw driver, knife, etc. I understand why he would want to limit it to firearms as you would need to do an animation for each weapon but it would be nice if they didn't make it just about a gun.

Easy mode eh? Well alrighty then.

I like to get several of them aggro on me and then I shoot them for target acquisition practice. Most other times though it's good ole circle strafe with an axe.

Do you have a shirt on or a bamdage? There are woods just outside the ship. Crawl and search for kindling on the forest floor and it shouldn't take long to find sticks. Add sticks to a tshirt to craft the splint. Or you could just go AFK until you die. Option C is relog on a high pop server, yell at the top of your lungs in your mic. Someone traveling in between Svetlo and Berezino might hear you. Good luck :) Maybe someone on here will come kill you if you ask them. I would help you but my back is wrecked right now so I can't deal with sitting down for long.

Do you graffiti bro? http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/50986085980170495/968AF5991C9E4BD53DAB8E87375B773ABBD60281/

I do random shit like this to people all the time. It breaks up the monotony of running forever alone. It usually gets reactions just like yours :). Sometimes I'm looking for my wife or pet pig.

Wait. You can hear people talk after they die again? I thought they took that out and even when you're unconscious? I haven't tested this to verify but I vaguely remember the devs mentioning this once a while back. As far as the whole exp versus stable friendliness thing goes, I would agree its a friendlier environment on exp but only for the first day or two because most are willing to give people a chance to mess around with new stuff plus everyone is a fresh spawn. This quickly wears off though as most people have had a chance to find the new stuff and play with it so now we want to try it out on each other. Nature of the beast :). I play both about 70% exp and 30% stable and this has been my experiences so far in terms of player friendliness. I think it ultimately boils down to the type of player you're dealing with and the circumstances you both ran into each other regardless of hive.

It was supposed to start a few minutes ago but they are having internet problems causing the delay https://twitter.com/Hicks_206/status/510456472061632512. Should be an interesting stream and I hope people remain civil in chat. Edit - it has now been rescheduled for tomorrow https://twitter.com/Hicks_206/status/510461723317649408 http://www.twitch.tv/dayz

Man, the amount of douchebaggery and overall immature attitude of the Twitch DayZ community is embarrassing, When Hicks announced they were having internet issues at the office the twitch chat went toxic. People saying crap like "the devs can't even do a stream without fckng it up", "even I could get this right" or similar comments was just uncalled for. As if any of those kids have ever worked in an office environment when the internet has gone down. The stream was set to 4pm Prague time so getting an IT or ISP tech provider out there before end of business day on a Friday was not going to happen within a decent timeframe. It would be no different than internet going down at my office, which happens from time to time. The sense of entitlement some people have just makes me shake my head in shame for them. Comments like those really turn me off from developing and publishing a game on my own. I definitely give BI and the DayZ team kudos for being transparent and involved directly with the community via the forums, reddit, twitter and twitch. Usually companies put a CM or company shill in place to take the brunt of such storms. I know I will if I ever publish mine lol. It looks bad on all of us as a community when the punks and "arm chair" keyboard warrior developers overshadow the chat with nonsense and disgusting vile. I hope tomorrow goes off without a hitch and people don't spam the chat with questions that have already been addressed in recent Pax Prime presentations or the weekly dev status reports, which many still don't read or follow.

Get to da choppa!

In addition to the new placeholder door sounds in .49 experimental update, this was also a welcome sound bringing back memories from the mod....

You asked for a 5-10 minute detailed summary of something that makes less than 3 minutes to fully read. He covered all the bases with the information provided. I don't know what else kind of 'fluff' you want him to add to fill in. Maybe you just like to hear his sexy voice :D

You have to understand that .49 is not finished and content can be added (or removed) prior to stable push. So that's why it makes no sense to do a showcase video right now. For instance horticulture was supposed to be in by now on exp but it's not and nobody knows anything about it. Just waiting on it to be added to exp. Best to wait until all the features are in (or omitted) before publishing a video showcasing what has indeed been added.

He will do a summary once all of the features have been added. He always does ;)
