LMAO the slow-mo talk, Irish. Great stand against the wolves and infected.

Awesome stuff, Asmondian. I especially appreciate the graphics that assist in illustrating your ideas. Great suggestions all around both threads.

Highlights from our latest roleplay event on remnantsdayzrp.com

Hilarious video, Irish. Props to the guy for killing a wolf with a spear. That should be an achievement. I think they are perfectly balanced on strength, except for maybe the headshots. Wild hogs can definitely survive multiple headshots in real life, but wolves cannot. Other than the headshot issue, I have no issue with their overall strength. I just wish they were more prevalent or that there were certain areas of the map where they constantly spawn or spawn often. It is great to see things like wolves implemented for PVE. Hopefully bears will follow, but they have not been added to the development board unfortunately. The infected are not much of a challenge right now, and as long as you have a machine gun with 30+ rounds, you're good for one man against a pack, even if you're caught out in the open. Wolves are even more disappointing when you are in a group of three or more. You hunt forever for a pack, then the pack is exterminated in a matter of seconds with very little risk. Nothing against you, Cactus--just my personal opinion on the current state of wolves.

You just made me hungry,

I love all of the items we are able to craft now, which gives the game a great sandbox feel out the gate. As Green Grand Bob mentioned, crafting a leather quiver to house arrows would be wonderful. I would love to be able to craft a leather rain pancho, which could be awesome looking.

Awesome. Thank you for the info and suggested usage.

What does the community recommend for capturing video while playing DayZ? I have tried Fraps, but it destroys framerate and interferes with Steam Overlay. I have tried Nvidia Shadowplay, but it is too dark and recording in DayZ at night time makes it impossible to see. (I have tried the aspect ratio change to make Shadowplay record lighter, but that is a hassle and only works intermittently--lost valuable footage fussing with Shadowplay.) Does anyone have better recommendations for capturing this wonderful game?

The new forests look absolutely amazing

Thanks for keeping us in the loop and letting us know about this important milestone, Eugene.

Thanks for all of the suggestions everyone!

Has it been confirmed if the beard can grow out far and bushy over a long period of time? (Think ZZ Top and Duck Dynasty lengths)

Thank you, good sir.

Personally, I cannot wait for base building to arrive.
