Love encounters like this. The part where he tried to hook you two up was hilarious. He said he was gonna do it

This was not scripted and I did not realize two hits = BOOM! Ah good times when you're just messing around with zero fcks given.

Had this guy for a long time. He's been through hell and looks the part. So long old friend....

F12 is the default Steam screenshot button

Why not just create the shots yourself and do the leg work?

So I've never experienced a glitched zombie do something like this :D

Yea its desync but never seen one explode in front of me like I was hitting a tree filled with blood :D. I shot him at least twice in the chest and saw the blood but he didn't drop and just sort of glitched there in desync. Today I almost got killed by it again when a zombie wasn't reacting to my axe swings. I ran away to a house and started sorting my inventory. All the sudden desynced zombie was chewing on my face out of nowhere. Ran out of the house because my weapon wouldn't work and then I had a train of them on me. Had to relog and just hope for the best. Luckily on a new server my character was still alive but had lost a lot of blood. First building I looted I found LRS for my mosin so I guess the DayZ gods gave a little back :D

Stubborn kid? Haha I wish. I'm in my late 30's man. I'm not jealous of Frankie at all, I just don't like hackers. I do youtube only as a hobby and don't care for subs or whatever money I make off it. A couple hundred bucks here and there year is no sweat off my back trust me lol. I make good money IRL and I don't care if Frankie makes a million a year or is a broke ass bum. It makes no difference to me on a personal level. It seems this jealousy excuse is the first line of defense the Frankie fanboys throw out any time the hacking is brought up. Sorry to bust your hopes but the only person I might be jealous of is someone who gets to fly military fighter jets for a living or something of an equal cool factor. Maybe deep sea divers too. But being a known youtuber is not enough to spike my meter, sorry to disappoint you.Pretty much the "issues" he talked about in the PS4 video are things that have already been implemented in the current builds. If you actually play DayZ you would of known this so I'm assuming you don't play this game or haven't in a while. The navmesh is a prime example. I'm not going to go back and watch his vid again just to get a list but there was a lot of chum in the water he was tossing to his sheeple. It was nothing but a bait vid with little to no substance. Only his followers are too blind to see he's a hacker or just follow along his word like its from the voice of God. It's been proven by breaking the event down and examining it like its X-files that he hacked so I really don't understand why many of you just continue to dismiss the facts. Go read the thread on it and educate yourself. Even self proclaimed hackers said it was impossible to have a different debug monitor and tale tale signs of blinking meters. In the end it's a business for people like Frankie and they are paid to make entertaining videos, nothing more. They aren't paid to be morally responsible because that wouldn't bring in the money now would it? Ever wonder why he and Jackfrags stopped doing DayZ videos shortly after the incident and they have seemed to distance themselves? Take the Frankie glasses off man. We will just have to agree to disagree.

What server population size do you play on? I see people all the time but I also only play on high population servers and know the general trails and routes people take, so seeing another player it not out of the norm. I just try to make sure I see them before they see me. Stay off the roads! ;) Another friendly tip, don't yell "friendly, friendly, friendly" because chance are you will be shot. Instead learn about your other player by watching him from a distance and seeing what he is up to. After a while you should develop a sixth sense for knowing what type of person you're looking at and dealing with. If you do get snuck up on or see a player by surprise it's best to just talk normal and clearly rather than do the typicaly newb mistake of saying "friendly". Most people don't trust players who come up yelling friendly because they probably are still licking their wounds from the last betrayal or backstab. But hey at least you're talking in the mic. If there is one thing I can't stand it's someone playing a game like this and doesn't use the mic or even have a mic. I typically blast those people because I think they are in a TS and acting like they don't have a mic only so they can have their friends ambush me. Yea I'm paranoid like that but you learn the little tricks people use against you after a few deaths lol. FYI the city you were near is Svetlojarsk or commonly referred to as "Svetlo". Elektro is far south near Cherno (way below Berezino). This should help understand the map but I don't suggest using it in-game as a crutch http://dayzdb.com/map/chernarusplus. You will easily learn the map by memory if you travel and it will become second nature. If you rely on the DayZDB map you will never become a true woodsman capable of traveling any distance without a compass or map and it will hinder you more than help you, espcially if the shit hits the fan and you get seperated from a group or friends.

I have a kid and wife too so I can relate. :D

I read your other thread. You need to learn a tree in the woods if your best place to log off. NEVER, EVER, under any circumstances log off in military installations or police buildings for Pete's sake! You might as well just log off in the middle of Berezino :D. I'm not sure if you realize this or not but when you log off your character is still vulnerable and very much still "alive" on the server for about 30 seconds. The same or more for when you log in. Basically you're a sitting duck. I don't really agree with newbs needing to join a clan to make it in this game. I don't really care for clans TBH since most are very young people with limited skills in actually working as a team and often times they just slow me down from my objective(s). Most just want a clan to have strength in numbers but that doesn't do any good if the entire team is weak and not organized. You're only as strong as the weakest link. Besides the second you get on their TS you have to hear about how shitty their day has been at work (if they even have a job) or why their favorite TV show sucked this week or a ton of other shit I don't care to listen to when I'm playing a game. It's just background noise that just creates confusion when the shit hits the fan. For some it's like Skype but with a moving picture of DayZ. And yes don't get attached to your gear. Welcome to DayZ

Yay another lazy new member on this forum who takes the time to create an account yet doesn't take the time to learn and follow a game he bought that's in development..... No, vehicles are not in. No his comment was not stupid but rather a valid point. If you did even the slightest bit of research yourself you would know vehicles are going to have to be built together from scrap parts. It's not going to be Forza, Gran Turismo or any other driving game. If you think vehicles are going to be your knight in shining armor then you're going to be pretty disappointed that they won't be "turn key". This game clearly isn't for you.

Ya know, the OP of the video (VIDEOSAUR http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/user/204184-videosaur/) is a member here and already posts his videos in the media section. No need in spamming the boards. Moon is alright but his act is getting a bit long in the tooth now IMHO. There is only so much "CHOOOOWWW" screaming and banditry that I can take in at one time. As for Frankie the hacker and his irritating ego, I'll pass. I used to be a sub of his back when he first starting doing the mod videos but then it became evident most of his videos were staged with his annoying Frankie fap fans and then it all came crashing down once he hacked with JackFrags. Poof and just like that he was gone from my sub list. Now all it seems he has to do with DayZ is trying to reaffirm his spot from time to time on the mod but his rep is tarnished beyond repair or he feels the need to slam DayZ SA with horrible inaccuracy. It's almost Rhinocrunch level but with a different (reads: better) sounding voice. The DayZ youtubers or streamers I follow in no particular order are: Jam, Blackout, SepticFalcon, M1NDR, Sacriel, Silo, Devildog, Vector Bunny and a few others.

Please do rsome research on this topic. BTW Alpha is not about optimization so much as it is to focus on content.

Sexy!

Subbed! Nice vid. :) The server is named Green Mountain Sanctuary. I've yet to have a good experience there lol. Usually bandits take it over the times I've traveled through.

This was a crazy event. I left to let the groom get back in the server. Right after I leave all hell breaks loose and stream snipers start picking people off leaving the church. i'm sure the battle vids will surface on the net lol. Hope you enjoy...

Yea it's a pretty pathetic attempt to slam DayZ IMHO. At least it's good to see some people in his comments section tell him he's wrong, not that it would do him any good though.

Geez it seems hacker fraud Frankie is still bent over SA. I swear this guy has an axe to grind against SA and always has, just like Rhino. Personally I think he's still mad he got caught hacking and his DayZ rep with the community was ruined from that point but that's for another thread. Most of what he is saying is messed up with SA in the vid has already been implemented or fixed. It's clear this is just another drama queen rant for his feeble-minded fanboys to chew on. I think the last time I saw him post an SA vid was bitching about ladders and I think it was during version .45 or maybe .46. Definitely not since the navmesh and persistence testing during exp and now on stable so this guy is talking out of his ass for the views, just like most of these big youtubers do. Anyways here's his rant vid..

Don't need no stinking ammo boxes. I typically have 40-60 rounds of ammo for any firearm I am carrying and that's it. If I can't take out someone with even 20 shots then chances are I'm already dead LOL. Besides I usually craft an improvised backpack instead of the mountain or hunter packs, so space is more of an issue but I like the lower profile so it's a welcome tradeoff for my play style. The only people I run into that carry multiple ammo boxes are full-on KOS bandits or someone in a group as the designated pack mule.

Did you try to relog? Sometimes when new builds are rolled out you will hop into a server with a new character but it's usually resolved by relogging and your character will come back like normal. Happens to me and other friends sometimes with fresh new version builds. However the fact you got killed on your fresh spawn character it might of meesed up your chances to get your old character back. I've never died that way to verify because I always relog to fix the issue as soon as it happens.

I never said it was. You're taking one slice of my post and generalizing it as = optimization. Dean mentioned several other "features" that do indeed have to do with optimization (64 bit servers, network bubble, etc) that were part of the PS4 Gamescom speech. The renderer was just one of the features he mentioned wasn't ever part of the PC scope. To me that is kind of shocking considering just how bad or inconsistant DayZ runs, even on my PC specs. To say it was never part of the scope is just asinine IMHO. Just what was their scope? To release SA and add content until we brought every server to a hault and had 1 FPS in Novo?

Well I guess it's good to know that we were going to be stuck with 20 FPS in cities until big blue came along.... I can now go home and thank my PS4 that sits there and collects dust, so at least I don't feel so bad now for spending $400 on it at launch. To thank it for allowing us the possibility to use a renderer that is already in ArmA 3 (which released near SA timeframe). The same renderer that shipped in 2009 with Windows Vista... Thank you Sony and PS4 for making this a possibility. /Sarcasm Basically what that tells me is they never had any intentions to add anything to help with performance. Were they just going to cram in a ton of content and let us piss and moan about it running like a dog until we were blue in the face? What is the point again of early access? Isn't it supposed to help with development and all that the EA model is hyped on? I'm sorry but him basically adding in these "features" wasn't in their scope just rubs me raw. When you're game runs like ass, these improvements aren't really "features" as opposed to needing them in order for this game to run like it should in the year 2014. Saying optimization (in so many words) wasn't in your project's scope is just nonsense.

That's not really the point of my post. Today Dean said the enhancements we are seeing IE DX11, 64bit servers, etc weren't going to happen until demand was there IE preparing for PS4. This contradicts everything we've been told up to today. Previously Dean said these things were being implmented as a necessity to improve game performance and/or graphics. That is the point I was trying to make. Was this just Dean speaking to the console fans in a marketing sense making it seem like all these new features were being added just so DayZ could be possible on PS4, to appease the console masses so to speak? Or were we being lied to all along and the possibility of DayZ never receiving those upgrades was likely? Regardless, one of his statements contradicts with the other and that doesn't really sit well with me personally.
