Known about this for along time. Some kind of bug.

If Toby, Hitler and Bin Laden were in a room and I only had 2 bullets I would shoot Toby twice.

Please, no.

Who is Toby?

Xtian Bretz and Alik Griffin are the directors of the cult hits DayZ – “I’D KILL FOR SOME BEANS” Day01 and My First Experience Playing DayZ – Live Action. They also star in the very cool short films along with other actors. In between shoots for this DayZ project, and other work for their D Day Hollywood Youtube channel the survivors took the time to answer some of my questions about what got them started in film and what the heck is so inspiring about DayZ. DayZPvP – What have you done in film before you caught the DayZ infection? Xtian – I got my start in online video in 2004 when I released the viral video “how to be: emo” on my own website. From that, CAA sent me out on meetings where I met Damon Berger (now the executive producer ofWhat’s Trending). Over the following years Damon and I worked together on several projects, at the same time I was doing freelance editing/visual effects for tv and film. Then in 2010, Damon Berger, Shira Lazar and I started Partners Project together. Partners Project is like the Inside the Actor’s Studio of YouTube. After meeting many of the key figures in the YouTube space (Corridor Digital, FreddieW), I was inspired to start my own channel “DDay Hollywood” with Alik Griffin. I really wanted to get back to my roots of making movies and having fun with my friends. Alik – I’ve been editing and shooting since I graduated filmschool at UCSD in 2005. I moved to Los Angeles in 2007 where I was shooting freelance and cutting network promos until I landed a gig G-Net Agency where I’ve been cutting Game Trailers since. Chris and I have been working with each other doing various videos since about 2006 and in 2011 we joined together on our own Youtube channel DdayHollywood which has been a blast. DayZPvP - Moving on to the DayZ videos what roles do you play? Who shoots the video and who writes the script? The actors are typically our friends, roommates or other YouTubers. We live in Hollywood so pretty much everyone is an actor. I think our pizza delivery guy is an actor. We both direct the videos together and switch off shooting depending on who’s in the scene at the time. Then we both share the post production process, for instance one of us will do the initial edit while the other does the visual effects or visa verse. As far as the scripts go, we’ll usually toss ideas around on the phone, pick one then write it and shoot it!

I play with everything off as often as possible (no point being good/sneaky if someone can see your tags 600 meters away). Out of all the people I play with I seem to be the only one that hates 3rd person. I never use it, never played a first person shooter in 3rd person before. Seems so noobish to me. I personally with all the servers had everything off, but I know I am in the minority and people appreciate the variety.

Make sure when you want to swap guns you take the gun OUT of your bag, don't put the gun IN the bag or it will delete. And never, ever put them on the ground, they will disappear like 25% of the time. Just double click backpack, right arrow the gun in your bag (account for the ammo space - it counts too) and they will swap seamlessly. Me and my buddies swap guns all day long.

Yet to see a bear trap either, have a couple ideas in mind for where to put one.

Of course you are correct. I think a pharmacy spawn would be awesome. Limit it to a certain size town (say put it in the largest 50% of the towns - not cities). I would also limit it to max 3 loot spawns just to keep the items hard to find and keep the hospitals viable. Problem is there is no building to use, have to re-purpose something for it. Not a bad idea +1 beans

I think the less icons the better, although it is an issue when the doorways make you stand up. Just gotta be more aware of your stance at all times. It can mean the difference between life and death.

Good offer, please let me know if I can help you with anything, in game or out. Perhaps a profile or blog post on my site.

Safes are too heavy, but so are rotors, engine parts etc. The simple, elegant solution: we already have entrenching tools. Give the ability to bury stuff in the ground (maybe need a duffel bag item to put them in, looks just like the tent item). If you walk within 2 or 3 meters of the spot with your entrenching tool out then the gear icon pops up.

No what I am saying is "please don't give the hackers and script kiddies one single scrap of information that they can use to ruin this awesome game".

That's true, but I found DMR, a SAW and a MK-48 with lots of ammo at a single crash site. Just gotta find those fresh helos, you will get one.

There are rumors of another ban sweep in progress. Let's hope so. To the server owners: we appreciate that you pay for the servers, just hold out as long as you can - it is an alpha. You should not expect much. If not, come back after 1.0 or the standalone release.

Try putting everything low or off except for Video Memory, always leave that at default.

So if person A finds a notebook, later person B kills person C then person A's notebook changes to add the name of person B? Is this supposed to be every murder on every server, or just the murders I have seen or what?

They look just like that in DayZ, not sure what you are on about. Go try it out.

Beans for the OP. Of course this is not a new idea, but OP actually put in the work to do a mock up. Looks great, only problem is I would not expect anything like this until we get a stand alone. I am hoping Rocket does something modular and unique, but we will see.

60% of the time my ass is right everytime.

Watermark? No. Bloodmark? Duh. I don't fully get this idea. If you pick up an item peoples tags become different colors? The first problem with this is that people have tags in the first place. I think you should be able to make groups, they get tags form a short distance and nobody else does. Kills like 10 birds with one stone.

Ladies and gentlemen we have a winner.

Kinda like the bell towers that are in game already?

I always hope the post will have at least one more word than the title. Such a let down.

There is already tracer rounds in the game. MG's shoot them and boy do they look awesome in Elektro at night.
