    About the next coming camera angle

    If every 3pp hater would spend his time playing 1pp instead of shitposting, servers would be cracking with pop by now. Seriously, go play your mode and have fun. No, im not taking sides. /flame shield on.

    First person emptiness?

    most of the private shards are already waiting for the global wipe, that's why you see so little people. At least it seems to be the case on servers where i play on.
  5. gorka is pretty sweet. i go ttsko/m65 since i can get them wet for travelling

    suicide bombing

    i thought this already is the case. that's why i hold "G" before pulling the pin.Once you pull the pin there's no turning back what he suggested, or so i understood, is that the pin will always get pulled and the spoon released if you're shot with a grenade in your hands. (since we only get the pin option) just calls for naked yolo runs with grenade in your hands. The only people "dumb" enough are the people who would see your character glitched in some animation as always, so they couldn't tell you're wielding a grenade as you desync in the middle of them. I dont care if its added, but i like the "pin" system more than spoon frenzy runs.

    suicide bombing

    i dont think we need a suicidal bomber feature for that one time when you will be holding a grenade and got shot...

    Why did you buy this game?

    I was playing BI titles since ARMA1. I believe flashpoint hit the stores same month Max Payne did. I cant complain, Max Payne was a great game for that time with a really nice comic story telling. It looked so real on my Voodoo3 3500. Then there was OPF. I remember reading one of the early interviews with bohemia developers in PCgamer. Open mil sim with enterable vehicles that you can drive, and even see counters on the drivers panel. Balistics and sound delays, squad commands (when you see the flash it's already too late ;) )and so on. Being a...13-14 yr old kid, i didnt even know it's possible to make such a game and when i first tried it...i loved every second of it :) Injuries, broken legs, one shot kills, sway... the "realism" of this game bought me on the spot. Singleplayer campaing was on of the best gaming experiences i ever had and even tho some might find this a bit sentimental, no other tittle made me enjoy being a "just a soldier" in a war noone wants it. The "Armstrong, this is Papa bear, EVAC @zulu x hrs mission be there or GG" was one of my favourites. I was huggin trees, terrified of Armed patrools, BMPs & even some choppers patroling the area whilst you had to sneak thru was really something i strongly missed in arma2. (i got that later with the great addons) I never got that hopeless feeling of a "that's it, we're fu***". It's mostly because you don't get to play the role of the lowest ranking soldier who's everyones bi***. Don't get me wrong it was a great game and i spent yet another thousands of hrs in it. Anyway, not gonna lie, when i was a kid, i could not afford games. I could afford a PCgamer mag. (two old ones for the price of one) and try demos. Or... do the dev:0 pirates:1 thingy. Forgive me and let's pretend i was just a very aware consumer who needed a couple of thousand hr trial :P I always felt like i own BI(well, the people there) to buy the tittles i played for thousands of hrs and spend thousands of hrs in their best-ever-mission-editors. I also wanted the friggin legit copies for the obvious MP. Years passed by when I finaly bought the OPF;GOTY edition and a year later ARMA2+AO. Just when i was about to purchase arma3 after playing alpha (Would anyone believe me, i didnt like the less-clunky arma3?) i saw dayz. I probably saw it on reddit, i dont remember. Watching dayz stream, my first thought was "OPF". Alone, helpless, just trying to survive and get thru the "war". Besides, i was always a fan of hardcore modes(MUD, Diablo, crazy ivan, etc), where you loose EVERYTHING uppon death. Knowing it's a BI tittle i just said "fk it" and cashed out, because despite all the "alpha warnings" i was pretty sure what im getting myself into. (the arma bugs just never got me to the point of quitting. its just different if something buggs out on open world "simulator" then buggin in linear singleplayer pewpewpew game) I was sure im gonna love it and i was right :P 10/10 would buy again. tldr: i bought it 'cause i knew ill enjoy it.

    Most detested item in Persistence

    I'm not gonna lie, when i bought dayz, i thought books indeed are readable. Probably because of so many RP posts :P I stocked on food an water and went deep inside the forest to make myself a fire and to read a book i took with me. You can imagine how fking dissapointed i was when i realised... :lol:

    There are no good Dayz SA youtubers?

    I don't enjoy staged out videos. I only regulary click on SepticFalcon, So he can read me status report highlights a few days after i read them myself :D
  13. [Necro] I know its been a while but, is there a full length video of survivorgamez VI just like it was for SurvivorGamez V ? I really loved the spectators camera & all. All i find now, is edited videos of individuals and short clips. Was there no spectator mode cam recorded? I want it all in one piece. [/necro]

    Today was a good day

    2 bad you didnt know you can eat people now.
  16. i know its a long shot but try playing out with Battleping, WTFast, PingZapper. They all allow you trials. (battleping 20min session, zapper 1hr session, wtfast 1 month session) Im from europe, but these programs really helped me out when i was playing certain MMORPG whose servers were based in US. It made the overall latency lower and never reached absurdly high 300-400ms pings as before, on avarage it mostly stayed at around 150ms (200+ before). I have 100/100mbps optics and can sometimes reach pings of a single digit on dayz servers so in my case it was purely the distance that was causing it (no package loss or anything related). This stuff really pleasantly surprised me as i never believed it works. I always thought its one of those "THIS SECRETLY CODED PROGRAM MAKES SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS AND ISP PROVIDERS CUT THEMSELVES ALL OVER THE WORLD" adds to suck the money of the naive folks. Also, since every byte counts, be sure to do all the "minor tweaks" like shutting down MS update service & co. in your task manager.

    How was your Day(Z)?

    You better get used to it. Look at it this way; a fully geared player is probably, just like you, attached to his gear ~ If you werent you wouldnt care if you got killed. That being said, you cannot possibly know if an unknown fully geared survivor is attached to his gear so much, that he wont risk any socializing but instead kill you on sight. And that's just one of the variations. They might be playing as bandits, kosers. They might think you are a bandit/KOSer. I know it's extremly annoying once you're geared and friendly, I've been there before. It's almost impossible not to get in a gun fight when you're a walking pinata. I had scenarios where i caught two guys from behind, one was just in animation of crafting fire and altho i had my mp5 raised and both in my LOF and told them im friendly, they prefered to fight it out. I strongly recommend you avoiding players when fully geared, unless you can make a drop on them, which is literally pointing your gun at their forehead saying "friendly". There really is no easier way and nothing beats a forced friendship! :) When dealing with much more geared players this might be slightly easier since you don't have nothing that's in their interest but your life. That's why you better make it clear that you don't give a crap about their gear. I was more successful in this situation. I caught a ghillie guy in fueling truck animation. I ran in his face with my axe out and start saying "I know i could kill you on the spot right now but im friendly, hopefully once your animation ends you wont kill me". He didnt. Do note that snipers on sniping locations do not like that and will shoot you regardless (been there) :D I guess once you're spotted sniping, you dont really expect anyone to forgive you :D Anyway if you really want to avange your past life, there's no worse way but to join the hoppers. Instead you can find yourself a nice mosin spot, join an empty server(or preferably, same server you died on) and camp out the NWEAF/pavlovo/island for hoppers. By checking "P"layers list you can sometimes see in advance when a hopping group just joined. All you need is some patience and a good sight on the barracks door ;) They'll come back, don't worry. They always do.

    The DayZ world is like a Ride......

    Yeah, my thoughts exactly. I am still curious if this is a safe way to do it on your own tho.

    The DayZ world is like a Ride......

    Honestly, aslong as ill have something to kill myself with i wont be sending a ticket. I did send it before i could kill myself. Playtime >>>> Gear :P Well i've heard about the method some people are using, but, be advised, im not sure if this can result in BE ban. I guess you get kicked after X seconds the BE realises you're missing a file like u can see players nowdays...so... maybe u only get a kick if u dont act fast enough. Delete rock.pbo (i dont know the real name of rocks file, this is an example), uppon reconecting the rock wont be there, move 2m and disconect immidiately. copy the file back, reconect. P.S. I would be glad if some1 with better knowledge of the game could confirm this.

    How was your Day(Z)?

    joined a 50/50 in novoselky(cherno). Im slightly bored so i snipe zombies from one of the flats. Luckily there was a guy with a full zombie train behind him so i had something to shoot at. I ran out of longhorn ammo so i decide to climb down. I check the garages and stumble uppon a survivor. He tries to run off but I manage to catch on him. "dont worry, I've mad friendly skills, you need anything?" "some water, please" I dropped him a PET and two cans of peaches (IKR, there must be a place in heaven for people like me..) He drank the bottle and returned it (how nice :D). He asked me if i want any 0.22 ammo for my trumpet. I gladly accepted and traded him back some of the .357 ammo which i had tons of. We traded a couple of more things and then split our ways. I ran into the red two story building to chew on something, before i move out north. I was just thinking how awesome it was to trade, rather than just to kill each other. We both got some usefull stuff and saved time. Legs broken, you're dead, get rekt ~ Gravity. Sighs. I Get kami spawn. Before my environment loads up i already hear a *clicklickclickclickclick* sound infront of my face. Ah, the bored kami spawn. A very common specie amongs chernorussian survivors. Ill just ignore him and if im lucky he will kill me for a better respawn. Long story short... the fresh spawn kills everyone but me. fml. lol. Everyone seems to trust him and he uses it. I dont so... I guess we team up and head msta? MSTA. Empty. We move further towards dolina. I stop to eat. A random zombie runs towards me. i finnish eating and run out of the house. As i run out i close the door behind me, sucessfuly traping the zed. As im some 50m away from the house and start eating again, i start getting hit again. FUUUUUUUU, my hitbox is in that house. I run back, on my way, i die. MY body starts sliping downhill and i can see it. I see my newly met friend running by my body asking wtf happend. Told him i died only Im not ... dead. He tried to kill me but obviously he cant see where the hitbox is, so he's hitting air. I thank him for the adventure and ask him to go his way and survive. At least he could hear me speak via VOIP. I guess i was fun enough, because he didn't want to and instead said he will go back towards kami. I try reloging just to log in my dead body... Luckily the zombie in the brackground hit me again, this time killing me for real. Well, i guess i will try to get a kami spawn than. I get the spawn fairly quick. Theres a fully geared guy running pass me. WoW, Didn't full auto me, that's a first. Didnt take long another guy appears. He seemed friendly all untill the moment one of us stopped and he could start spraying. I guess he used his PSO scope to shoot on 10m distance with his AKM, since he didnt stand a chance against my falcon punch that knocked him down :D Me and my (other) friend (yes i have moar) love to call such players "TUNNEL VISION TO THE MAX" players. F***ing finaly, the justice. I finaly got to silence a much more geared jackass player. I pick up his gear and kill him. I killed him with such pleasure i almost saw every kami bandit that ever killed me and i just payed him back. I ask the guy(newly met friend) if he ever had an akm. He said he never had one. I drop him the akm+pso+drum and two full ammo boxes with the backpack and some other stuff. Have fun! I kept one ammo box of sks ammo and logged out. 10/10 would kami again.

    Lets post some screen shots (Standalone)

    OMG YAY :D best loot i could get since i wasnt really looking for anything. Added my sig. aswell
  23. To be fair, if he didnt, he'd get shot since you can see sobieski hit "draw weapon" :) edit; nvm, thought u're refering to the guy gunning him down. I tried doing the same, warning the guy to holster the weapon as he gains councious. He wasnt very found of my idea and tried to gun me down. Didnt work too well for him. anyway nice video as always. I was slightly surprised you sent him in the corner whilst showing the back to the entrance. PS 1pp videos are much much more interesting to watch, esp with your playstyle :)

    walkie-talkie suggestion

    This would be hilarious. I would not be mad at all to die like this :D

    A few questions

    hold breath is by default right mouse click. same as for the zoom. u might wanna rebind it, i did. keeping draw weapon&zoom&hold breath on mouse2 makes it somewhat slower than having these keys binded individually (if you click mouse2, it takes a few tens of seconds before your character actualy rises his weapon and starts zooming in, apperantly this "imput lag" does not occur if you bind them seperately.) 2. No, dont bind the same key under two different commands, it can cause you allot of headache. Use symbols that are not yet binded. I use naga aswell. rebind the whole "thumb pad", unless you wanna accidently switch items by pressing default 1-12 :) I find the tilt scroll wheel left/right awesome for pageup/pagedown range adjustment. I use 1 for holding breath, 2 for players list, 3 for VOIP, mouse5 penny for autorun :) its a matter of your own preferences. Firing macros are for skill-less cowards so i wont go there. I hope servers will autokick people using these (perfect rof vs aimtime or a sporter firing mg42 style is a good giveaway) another thing, unbind toggle lean (2xQ, 2xE)
