Not me man. Was on third last night. Yeah staying in their was not ideal but if you kill two people and only had a Sporter before hand a bit of risk is worth it for the reward. The biggest risk was probably running over while he was unconcious as he was shooting at something from the ATC who could have seen me and he could easily have awoken before I got there too. I do take a few risks, sometimes is bites you on the bum. But others it rewards you massively. ;)

This! I have a vid rendering atm (don't watch it! I mention purely because I cover this exact thing, not a plug) discussing the amount of Ghillie sqauds there are out there and another YT vid I watched that actually advised server hopping to find netting. If you play on high pop servers, sooner or later someone who cant shoot straight will try shooting at you with an AK or M4 etc and then you can take theirs. Roam around the West of the map visiting the military spawns and you will find AKs and may even find heli crash sites too. Do it on full servers and the game is massively enjoyable with a chance of finding what you want.... If you look for one thing in the game you can spend hours just getting more and more frustrated!

But what might it have done if you had put in that little bit more effort as I mentioned in the original feedback?. Don't sell your vids short as "just a short thing I did for DayZTV". You gotta make all of them to the best standard you can. A vid like this takes no time at all to make, and a few mins more to add in some comedy music and a bit of narration could have transformed the whole thing! Before you render you gotta watch what you have done back and ask yourself if it is done in the best way you can do it. If it's not you need to redo it before you render and upload. People notice vids that have had time put in to them, they also notice those that haven't......

Hi man, I have written the below relatively bluntly because there is a fair bit there and I wanted to get it all out, I hope you take it in the right way but I wanted to state what I thought and didn't really dress it up too much. Feedback:- 1- Forget views and try to work on likes. Your vid may have close to 1000 views but it has 4 likes. When you first start off your like percentage is gonna be low but 4/1000 is too low. This should tell you that there is work to do on your video quality. You may be really proud of the vid (and you should be!) but in 4 months time if you have progressed on you will look back at this vid and cringe a little. I do with my earlier vids (and most of my later ones too to be honest!). If you do a video with just 300 views but 20 likes, that is a better video than this one. Videos with more views aren't always the ones that get you the most subs (if that is what you are aiming for), you want more of the people that watch to buy in to the content and to you and then they will sub. More people watching doesn't equate to a guarantee of more subs. My most popular video views wise has four times more views than any of my others but it isn't even in my top 10 for subs converted. 2- Keep releasing vids as regularly as you can and try to improve them as you go. Improve something each time at first if poss. You don't need to ask here for feedback, YouTube gives you all the info you should need. In terms the likes, how much of the video people are actually watching before moving on etc. You just look at this and when you do one that does better than the others, look at what you did and replicate that more. 3- Narration- set the scene and add your personality (by that I don't mean try to be funny, I mean be yourself). This video is you hiding in a bush with a guy running around a few times, with a bit of a back story in terms of why he was looking for you and what you were trying to do that would have really made a difference. 4- Sound, the sound disappears completely for several seconds while your mic is open. Why? I'm sure this is a glitch in the rec or the edit but to the viewer it could look like you were hiding something that you said to the player. Almost like you were talking to him, and it was set up (I'm not saying it was, just saying how it may have looked). 5- Never repost your videos on here or on Reddit. If you do, no matter how you dress it up you will look a little desperate. You may well be asking for feedback but still the post can be taken by many as... I have 1k views, how can I boost it to 2k, I know I will ask for feedback , please watch my video.... 6- People will only come back if you give them a reason to. You can either be an MLG super soldier of a DayZ player (certainly not me!) and they will come back to see your skills or you can be the guy that finds another way to entertain whether it be your humour or the tension/suspsense you build in to videos with music, or the professional way you edit your vids. However you do it, you need to work out what you are going to do to make people want to come back. 7- Be careful with sub annotations as it can be a turn off at first when you are just starting out. When you get a bit bigger they kinda work a little better if you want to use them. If you are gonna use them try to make them as part of the outro if poss and not in the actual footage.

Hi all, When you are up against it, sometimes DayZ makes the odds ever more in their favour! Thanks for watching, TRMZ PS I have been sharing these vids for a while and I still haven't worked out how to actually make the video show in the thread, rather than just show a link. I'm such a noob! Please can someone explain it to me? ;) Edit: Thanks NuckFuts for the answer...

Pretty much this ^^^^^ However when I was logging into the original low pop server after the crash I was expecting to be dead and therefore a new spawn. So when I was one, I switched back to the other server, purely to start a fresh from Elektro as a new spawn. I had no reason to think my character was bugged and that I would be back at NW, I just presumed they had killed me while my character stood there for 30 seconds in the building after my game crashed.

Thanks very much! I guess I would never have worked that out without asking. I'm sure there is proably somewhere you can search for it but I had no idea where to look.

Hi, It was the last night of 0.51 experimental so I thought I would try and find some players in the more built up areas of the map and have some fun! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rx6QYNyMNe4&list=UU4TP_rKc6AYFC3gbD1VS90w Thanks for watching, TRMZ

Thanks man! I appreciate the kind words, cheers for watching....

Hi all, In this video I start out as a new spawn and meet three undesirables along my journey through Chernarus.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xI-URQWzVUg&feature=youtu.be Thanks for watching, TRMZ

It's weird how vids do differently between here and Reddit. Vids that are popular on there, never go down to well on here and vice versa. Very strange! Hopefully will have another video out on Thursday or Friday....

Hi all, So I was gonna do a V3S vid but thought I'd do something else instead! I hope you like it, bit of a change from my usual content. You can't know the pain of trying to do something like this on experimental, with restarts and multiple trucks from different spawns to complete just one journey of those done here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNpyn8yUuIU&lc=z13vwl2rioiisfmrw04chtui0xvziragdnc0k Thanks for watching, TRMZ

lol! Thanks man, I enjoyed making that vid. Mainly because the whole time I knew I was gonna put the song from Drive on it! I love that song

Hi, I guess the title says it all! Hope you like it..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_I0rTxuyxbQ&list=UU4TP_rKc6AYFC3gbD1VS90w Thanks for watching, TRMZ

Thanks man! It was really good fun. I actually have a new vid out this evening (two in one day is too many for me!). I'm not posting it on here as I only posted this one today...

Hi On experimental the loot gets thinner on the ground as it gets further away from the reset day (Wednesday). In this video I highlight a couple of good places to visit when loot is getting scarce on the persistent servers. I appreciate there are pockets on the map where loot is all over the place (at Veresnik on some servers there are 30 or so back packs for example). However these two buildings have reliable loot on all servers in my experience even when nearby areas are completely empty. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muoBrm1Bgok&feature=youtu.be Thanks for watching, TRMZ

Hi all, Could I be the first DayZ player to eat myself? Certainly an early adopter either way! ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dg6iRqpbuX4&feature=youtu.be Thanks for watching, TRMZ

That's not why I shot him. I shot him because the guy I'd just met spoke to him and then the guy I shot pulled his weapon out instead of talking back, the guy I'd just met then shot at him leaving me a split second to decide what to do. As soon as the guy I hit started talking I stopped firing, he then returned fire so I carried on. If you have your gun lowered and talk back I wouldn't fire first as per pretty much all my vids. However if you raise your gun or don't talk back and act like you are up to something then I will decide on what I think you are up to. I did try to explain in the vid. The guy could still have rescued it when he started talking but instead he fired and then that was that. It wasn't ideal but these things happen in split seconds....

Hi, Swimming against the tide of getting DayZ'd by stairs etc or killed by hackers. This is one example of many that I could have picked for the last 10 days. I know things are in the pipeline on 0.51, in no way am I moaning about the game. Just sharing my pain! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RwLzMWnDwA&list=UU4TP_rKc6AYFC3gbD1VS90w Thanks for watching, TRMZ

Last thing. Don't do a lot of the above, you will just kid yourself. If you play with a guy and you click and then you sub each other cos you wanna see their vids, that may work. There are people out there with 500 subs who can't get 50 views on a vid, sub for subs are normally worthless cos they don't watch your vids ever. You need people to sub for you and your content, not for one in return...

Blimey the old NE airfield, you've been sitting on that for a while! I thought the bit in the middle was nice. I will give you two pieces of advise..... 1- Be careful with intro and outro lengths on short vids. Mine are 10 secs ish long on 15 min vids. This video is only 1 min 23 secs yet the intro and outro are half of the video. There is only 42 secs of actual footage. The DayZ intro is kinda over used, it looks good but it wont differentiate you from a 1000 other people. 2- Don't ask for subscribers apart from maybe at the end of your video and in the message that you can type along side the video. If you ask people to subscribe before they have watched the video it's a turn off. If you focus on making good videos that people enjoy, you will grow your channel.

Hi, A Hardcore adventure from Berezino to Zelenogorsk, with Rene from BarelyInfected. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dW13LVVFYhY&feature=youtu.be Thanks for watching! TRMZ

Yeah they were. I quite like to play with them for an hour or two though just to see what they are like!

Hi, A compilation of some PVP moments from the last 10 days. Apologies, I've been trying really hard to make a longer story type video but for various reasons it just hasn't been possible this week. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Egou1SAUj10&feature=youtu.be Thanks for watching, TRMZ

Yeah! I felt a bit sick at the time though. I had the Vybor spawn and on a full pop servr I managed to find two crash sites so had two grenades and loads of loot. Normally I don't go full milatary, I guess that is why!
