You can test all those things on every server, don't believe the hype. If you are being KOS'd so much you cant test crafting or group play, it's down to your player skill not the server rules. Go somewhere quiet to test crafting..

Interestingly if someone just happened to have their legs broken and then tried to belly crawl up the scaffolds in Svet or similar to attempt suicide, there's a decent chance they will glitch through the first slope down to the ground under it. They would then be stuck in the area under the slope, behind a 6 inch high scaffold wall of doom :rolleyes: . It would look easy to get out, but in reality every time they try to stand to step over the tiny barrier they would just fall on their face and remain behind the wall. There are VERY few ways out for them other than begging passing players for help (get legs fixed), or waiting to die of dehydration (which takes over an hour when you cannot walk). If someone happened to hate (like really hate) suicide cyclers, and was the kind of person to engineer this strategy into happening.. it might be something someone might be interested in... ;) Just throwing it out there...

Classic :) Helmets are key to avoid being knocked out. Better luck next time :beans:

Try the recruitment forum mate :thumbsup:

Damn dude ur a scary man :) Liked it :beans:

Haha classic :) swear that's been happening more these days than a few months back too :/

Nice :) BeanZ.

I can't see it either :/

1) I was polite and made it clear it was only my opinion in the first post. 2) I didn't comment on your YouTube account, i commented on the public forum for the game which is what it's for. 3) The developers did not include a spawn selector and have made it clear this was deliberate. One reason is to add a sense of worth to a character by preventing someone from suicide cycling to get straight back to their gear when they are killed. Another reason is to help spread population around the map rather than suicide kiddies cycling spawns to get to the best looting/pvp zones instantly. It clearly effects the game (as is extremely apparent by the huge dead areas of the map) in more ways than perhaps you were aware. 4) I only stated (again clearly stating it was my opinion) that i don't think this should be included in a "new player's guide", hence why this has absolutely 0 relevance to a standard stream or Lets Play. 5) This is not your channel and thus you do not have the power to moderate out all the negative comments. By posting on a public game forum you openly invite the opinion of others, and i fail to see why you feel you should have the same control here as on your YouTube channel. It would seem the "toxicity" you describe is more based on your inability to handle criticism than anything I've said that is incorrect. I would have no issue with it in a Lets Play or a Stream since they are not targeted specifically at new player induction. Why did you post it here if not to receive the opinions of other users?

The only thing any of us were ever promised for our cash, are problematic design decisions and bugs for as long as it takes to finish, and then a copy of the completed game at the end. I've had my money's worth many times over despite all the bugs. I might add that when they gave us a list of possible deadlines which they inevitably did not hit due to a host of problems, we as a community raged at them. When they decided to start saying "we're working on it" instead of making deadline statements they didn't know if they could hit or not, we also raged. I personally love the concept, and am already having a whale of a time in the game. I hope they take as long as it takes to do things properly, and am glad my life doesn't revolve around video game updates. I've played most of DayZ's competitors and in my opinion not a single one lives up to the DayZ experience i've been having so far, let alone what it will one day be.

Goals are not promises, they are ideas. As far as the vote goes i think Dick does more to stop people listening to him purely by writing posts than closing his thread ever would :D

Don't worry i already called one : Get well soon mate :rolleyes:

Boom.

How are you carrying 2 AUGS and an SVD?

I only compared the poor advice about cycling spawns to a similar concept about loot cycling. They are both frowned upon mechanics that a lot of people use but that i feel should not be instructed to new players as part of a "new players guide". I watch lets plays and streams all the time, but i sense you're just being silly with the reference. I've enjoyed some of your other videos and have commented positively in accordance so kindly sort the attitude out and accept some constructive criticism on this one. I'd be interested to know why you think loot cycling makes someone a scumbag but spawn cycling is fine.

I'd go AKM since your chance of finding mags for AUG is slim if you don't know where to look, AKM mags are easier to come by generally. Double primary weapon can be a nuisance since you will drop the one in hands whenever you drink or eat etc. AKM has much more stopping power per round than the AUG also if a bit of a bitch on recoil. I'll pm you across my steam id since it seems you play similar times to me and are from the Uk (chuffed ;) ).

Not so bad, tho i think maybe 3 days in is a little early to make a comprehensive guide. BeanZ anyway :beans: Here are the only 2 maps you will need plus a few changes / additions : One for measuring distances quickly http://dayzdb.com/map/chernarusplus One with a slightly clearer layout and easier group creation / group sharing http://www.izurvive.com ○ Servers don't generally spawn new loot when they restart, there are 2 kinds of reset. All servers are currently set to persistent meaning loot is not reset during a restart. The server admins must manually reset the persistence file to reset loot. ○ Lock picks are not generally recommended since a locked door is like a flashy neon sign that you're holed up in a building, and you can open a locked door in less than a second without a lock pick. ○ Not sure what stone bunker you're talking about that was full of loot, but i think you might mean the sandbag bunker. If it was full of loads of loot, players put it there and it won't be like that on very many servers. ○ 133 is the best shotgun in the game, bring the pain ;) Welcome to DayZ, hope to see ya out there, hopefully not CoDing in Cherno :P

No BeanZ i'm afraid :emptycan: Stopped watching when you advised new players to suicide for a better spawn. While it's possible and a lot of folks do it, it sucks balls and is bad for the game. Just my opinion but a new player guide shouldn't include damaging mechanics like that. You should be teaching players to play the game properly in a new players guide. It falls in the same league as advising new players to find a server with 0 people on it and head straight for an officer tent to do the loot cycle. It might be the most efficient way to gear up, but it's very bad form and degrades the quality of game play for everyone, new players included.

I think with state of game as it currently is you could always add some content of your own. Go find more guys, approach them with good tactics and take control. Ascertain if they are friendly good guys and see what you can do to help, or if they are aggressive you have options also. I like to break legs of smack talkers, bandage them and hide their gear in a bush, leaving them crawling around in their underwear looking for a stone.. Hopefully zombies come back soon or i'll have to get more experimental :| .

There was 24k (23,967) playing on August 26th (exactly 2 months ago). It only peaked at that for a day then dropped right down again. But it shows there are a lot of people watching from the hills to see when DayZ will rise again ^_^ .

It's always been loads of fun.

You the same Keelan that plays with Me, Top, Sean (Bhudda) & Red sometimes? Used to hang with Jimmy n crew?

What kinda times do you normally play? Also you have to expect the average person in Cherno to shoot you. You wouldn't go to NWAF and expect people to be friendly, so consider Cherno the same way since it is the (low grade) PvP hotspot atm.

I think that's a bad analogy. Just about the biggest FPS boost they can provide currently will come from preventing rendering of objects the player can't see (no more 15fps because you're looking toward Cherno through a mountain). I was just musing that BI really need to provide something tangible in the next few weeks to avoid alienating a lot of the player base. If it's possible, it would be a clever move if only so far as player retention.

As title says, ran with a couple of friendly Uk guys earlier on today. We policed Berezino for a good 45 minutes and got into some good scrapes, would love to get back in touch since my Uk friend list is a little low nowadays. One guy we met had a Rak with ammo, gave me a CR75 clip and i gave him a Rak clip. Eventually server reset and couldn't find any of them after. Just hoping one of em stumbles across this :) Server was Grumpy Gamers (private).
