jaytmuk (DayZ)

Nice base mate, love it :) , Very madmax esque :), Am hoping rocket gets some inspiration from mad max films too :)

Zombies will be hassle till you learn their ways ;), You will die quick in big cities ;), Run game in windows mode and use http://dayzdb.com/map to help navigate from your starting point (your starting point will be displayed bottom right when you log in/spawn) There isnt that much loot to be had in cherno or electro thats worth the risk tbh, Id run north a bit and either go to berezinho, polana and navigate the towns across the mid area of the map, dont go too far up north tho lol, but southern cities you will just get into a deathmatch scenario time after time :P And also never listen too much to the players who say zombies are easy, and try claim they have never dies from zombies,. we have all run into houses/buildings that we dint know had only 1 exit before we learnt the buildings :P We have all broken our legs and been eaten by zombies lol :P We have all been 1 shot knocked out by zombies :P So whilst zombies arent difficult, they can be if you make a wrong turn or take them too likely ;) My advice on your 1st login is to run to a town and run around with the zombies and learn to lose them with LOS and learn how fast they run and even let them kill you a few time so you learn their power lol (play with them if you will lol) Best Dayz youtuber around ;)

I kinda like the middle mouse scroll button option to select things as it is. But.... What do you guys /girls think? ...Or do you prefer a keyboard assigned to picking something up?

Hi guys (I dont know this youtuber) but ive seen many Dayz youtube videos over the months and alot dont support Dayz much or dont give it constructive critisism when its due, Most youtube video makers arent gamers, they are entertainers so many struggle to handle Dayz many bugs and quirks, so they get a broken leg or die to a common bug and they critisize Dayz, alot dont even know how to play the game, so they critisize Dayz rather than the fact they cant play. One youtube video maker i have seen many times who is pro at the game, starts hes streams and videos after logging into a server rather than having the viewers watch a long loading screen, seems to know Dayz many bugs and quirks and plays around them so avoiding crying that the games broken to the audience. sacriel42 is the youtuber, look him up on youtube, very cool vids and streams Seen Rocket give a few interviews to youtubers, Imo sacriel42 deserves that honor way ahead of the others, even sidestrafe :P, who i might add has said he pissed with Dayz many times and critisized the game dues to hes noobiness at it :P xxx

Yes, and he /she will come down to the shops with you too and sleep on the end of your bed :)

Making the zombies alot more of a threat would deter banditry and give potential bandits something to kill other than carebears, hey they would probably need the carebears then :)

KOS? try playing on low pop servers, or night time servers, or maybe even dont go to electro or cherno? I have played on servers with 50+ ppl and managed to play for dayz without meeting anyone. if your the type of player who runs straight into town shooting your gun or running around with a train of zombs behind you then what do you expect other than to be shot? theres many ways to play this game/mod to avoid deathmatching. Try some instead of crying about being killed? :P Have always found ppl who moan about Deathmatching are the ppl who are bad at it The rest of us just avoid other ppl and watch on :P

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOWeyGX5Bgk Alternate ending btw :) Funny lol

i guess we can agree to disagree :P, But i know from previous interviews that Rocket likes the 28 days type Infected model, I hope he keeps to them and doesnt follow WarZ, But i guess he might yet still

But Dayz has slow zombies cos if your trapped in the firehouse (as you put it) with low ammo, the zombies are slow cos they cant run inside, Slow zombies would make this game too easy imo, Fast zombie are a threat cos (ok you can outrun them and lose them) but in doing so you risk attracting other survivors who will come and shoot you. Warz and Lfd2 slow zombies are boring, Am hoping rocket makes the Zeds run directly at you instead of zig zagging, and maybe headshots or hits to the head to kill them would be good too, maybe bodyshots only make them fall over, but they get back up unless they get a headshot :) I am legend wasnt really a zombie movie, it was infected, and alot the (Zombie Hipsters lol) only disregard it cos will smith was the star of it and it was a hollywood blockbuster type movie, but imo the infected in that movie were way more a threat and scary than romero/walking dead type zombies. What type infected/zombies would you be more afraid of in a real zomb apocalypse (dam i hate spelling that word lol) Whats the scarier zomb/infected? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOWeyGX5Bgk or (If BIS use the arma3 greek island in future for dayz will it be a Zombie apocodopodopodopalypse) :P

Zombies in "the walking dead" "shawn of the dead" etc = Not scary, can dance around them and take the piss, Only an idiot would get bitten. infected in "28 days" "28 week" "i am legend" = very fucking scary, try dancing around them fuckers :) pls rocket go back to the infected model, pls dont use warz esc crap boring slow zombies, thats kids stuff. I prefer a challenge, not just a shooting gallery :P Slow and boring. Fast and scary as fuck ftw :)

kill that guy even tho he gave u blood trans :(, ur scum tbh

Me and me gf been playing Dayz for last 5 months, 2 of me mates play it now too after i told em about it, We all from essex :)

I have been playing Dayz forr about 5 months now and i have always avoided nightime servers, I have logged on them and quit pretty quick (saying in my head pfttt why doesnt rocket make night a little bit lighter lol) to find a daytime server, But recently i have given the night time play a little bit of effort and have found it quite fun if play using Flares or Chemlights, and try to play on a low pop server lol, Theres little to no pvp deathmatching on night time play and it feels a lot creepier and more of a Zombie apocalypse :) Give them a try :)

Northern chernarus could be very cold, requiring special clothing (brightly coloured thermal jackets), need to eat more food than normal due to the cold, and maybe need to consume more fluids too, viruses spread easier and you get cold alot quicker Make the north alot harder to survive so clans and high geared players have it harder, Make the environment a challenge then players may not be so quick to kill each and high level items will be harder to attain. Maybe even make guns jam in extreme colds and vehicles engines break quicker.

So we dont improve the game because your worried it wouldnt be REALISTIC? Is using a mouse to move about REALISTIC?

Had a great laugh with this arma2 mod, try it out :) http://www.armaholic...ge.php?id=17862 (download links at bottom of page) Just put the .pbo in your arma2/armaoa mission folder

Maybe instead of heli crashes there could be actual helicopters flying over chernarus (periodically) and players can shoot them down and loot the crashed helicopter after it hits the ground and the fire subsides, Maybe there could be a radio signal broadcast on a random frequency that you must tune into with a radio you fix up, either a hand held radio or a stationary radio in one of the airfield radio towers :P It would also make flying helicopters alot more dangerous cos many ppl would shoot at it not knowing if its a player inside or a server event :P Would also make it harder to get the sort of guns and equipment that heli spawns provide :)

Run, run and then run :), also you will learn what buildings have 2 exits, running through buildings with 2 exits will slow them down cos zombies cant run inside buildings, look around in the building before you exit it, keeping an eye on the zombies that followed you in, do this till you get an axe, then take zombies into buildings and axe them do death while they walk, always keep a certain distance from them. Also if there are no buildings that are open you can run through bushes and around trees and buildings to try lose their line of site, you will learn it soon with practice :)

Altho hearing and seeing how the radios work in arma already makes me want em in too :P A big selling point for the game too imo

altho radios would be nice too lol

Unfortunately i think radios are a waste of time and effort because most if not all clans/groups will use teamspeak/mumble/ventrilo etc instead. I think maybe a radio station broadcasting on a random frequency every hour (changing its frequency every hour maybe) broadcasting in morse code helicopter crash site co-ords, and maybe you have to fix a radio up to find the frequency and decode the morse code to get the co-ords, maybe the radios could be in the radio towers at the airfields and in the big cities. Rocket said if you are good at something in real life you should be good at it ingame. ie- morse code & ham radios? :P

There are a few new private servers with npc's and safezones now, Dayz has become very varied now theres private hives/servers, it can accomodate many different types of playstyle

There are many servers with high populations if you fancy deathmatch type of game, but if you prefer the zombie apocalypse survival type of game theres also many very low pop servers, even night time servers will provide a very good zombie survival feel to them if use chemlights and flares to play with lol Enjoy mate, this game is awesome :)

Am thinking alot of Dayz atmosphere is, or could be in the sound, at the moment the sounds are random, but i think maybe every opening of a door or gate could make a sound, same for firestation doors and warehouse doors, Dont think the sound should travel too far, but the fact that they make a sound would be cool and very scary. Be cool if anyone can think of other things that would make noises :P
