Did a version with Take on me, with a pencil effect, but my video software seems to be compressing like a motherfucker atm and it looked even worse. The vid quality isn't this low, its just once it gets compressed, I need to look at the settings, but it is ample quality atm to see what is going on in the game :) And I chose that song, because I felt like it. I have a massively varied taste in music and at that particular moment it is what I was in the mood for. Sorry for not having the same tastes as you?

Hello I started playing this game with a friend and played with him for about a week but he is not about all the time, I don't want to bug him and I don't like playing solo as much as I do with a person/group. Unfortunately none of my other friends play! I Only ever play on UK6, in hopes if seeing some regular names in there, getting a community vibe going and also it has good ping for me. So I was just wondering if any UK6 players frequented these forums? Or anyone who felt like joining me on there? I just play for fun, nothing serious. Going from town to town to town, barn to barn, forest to forest scavenging and surviving. I don't mind shooting other players if they look threatening but I generally prefer to give people a chance and interact. I don't care if I die and start again. Sometimes you get so geared up that 'fight for survival' element gets sucked away a bit and a random death can do your game some good! I am 26, from the UK. Would prefer someone 20+ don't care where from just bear in mind the time differences!

Skip to 12:30. One of the funniest things I have seen relating to this mod!

If so, please explain like I am 5. :)

Is this better than the 'Wu Tang robbery'? You decide! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zvpPrQ0WX8&feature=youtu.be

Thanks for the reply. Does this shrink the size of the debug monitor also?

You clearly value your flashlights very highly.

Ah I see this got moved to the gallery. Well it wasn't MY video so didn't post it here originally, plus it was so funny I thought the wider audience of general would enjoy it.

See that's thinking like a computer game player. Thinking like a survivor you wouldn't condemn yourself to certain death. Plus this was 100 X funnier because the guy filming rolled with it.

"Bag it and tag it. Bag and tag the flashlight!"

Well when I first came to the game I often heard people referring to a zombie as a 'Zed'. Zombie ---> Starts with Z ----> Pronounced Zed -----> Day Z ------> Day Zed

Dude, think about this for a second. YOU don't want to be killed. Nor does the guy you are running up to yelling friendly. How the hell does he know he can trust you? I have had a couple of friendly encounters with survivors but fuck me if it wasnt tense as shit! Everyone watching everyone, fingers on triggers ready for that moment that a single bullet gets fired. It is not as simple as running at someone yelling "friendly".

Yogcast are children entertainers. Yeah they have a section of adult fans too, in the same way you get adults who still like the chuckle brothers. But adults are clearly not their target audience. That said they gave a terrible representation of the game so here is hoping it makes only those who are really interested in this mod persevere enough to install it. Maybe we should all post messages on that video like "Wtf, paid £25 for arma for this mod and it SUCKS!", "omg wat is dis? Jus keep dyin" and "wow, you can't even build anything? What's the point?"

The only single item that gives your argument any weight is morphene. A broken leg, with the current state of the game, is both easily done and pretty much game over if you don't have any morphene. While it CAN drop from other places, it is pretty rare. But this is an alpha, and shit is getting tweaked all the time. The frequency of broken bones from zombie attacks is one of them. Me, I like the prospect of dealing with broken bones in combat so rather than see a reduction on its frequency (bar when it bugs out ofc, no one wants that!) I would rather just see either an increase in the drop rate/areas of morphene OR maybe some kind of new item implemented? Maybe if you had wood from a tree and some other item you can fashion a splint or a crutch or something that reduces your speed, lasts for an hour, but lets you get back in the game and put up a fight in your quest for morphene!

So a Z aggros you based on 2 meters. Sight and sound. The more sound you make the further you need to be away to avoid them attacking. The more visible you are you further away you need to be if they are looking your direction. At night you are less visible, so yes they are in the same situation as you, however sound could still agggro them easily. So when its dark, as long as you are taking it slow, you will find it easier to get about. It also seems like the torch doesnt aggro zombies when you shine it on them. Is this always the case or did i just get lucky? But then as soo0n as you have your torch on you are a walking target for bandits! Swings and roundabouts....

A lot of Day Z videos focus on action/vehicles/PVP. I wanted to make a video that more captured the essence of surviving.

Yeah I dun goofed. First time I had to use gun all day and so use to zooming I totally forgot about IS.

I would suggest any new players take this with a heavy pinch of salt. There are certain guidelines that following will give you an easier time but OP here has dictated an entire playstyle.

You seemed to have missed '@Xeros612' with your responses OP.

15: DO 16: NOT 17: GET 18: ATTACHED 19: TO 20: YOUR 21: GEAR!!

13: Its nice to have a gun, but only use it as a last resort. The second you shoot you are sending an area wide message to zombies that dinner is here, bandits that their next kill is here or survivors that there is someone they might need to kill is here.

I love the hatchet. I generally will stick to a hatchet and hold out till I find a handgun which will allow me to switch quickly between the two. Silent zombie kills are invaluable and not to mention I prefer interactions with players rather than conflict and I get the impression if they see you with a hatchet they don't see you as a KOS type of threat.

I think there is room for some more 'realistic' tweaks, but it sounds like what you are suggesting would suck a lot of the fun out of the game for a larger majority of its fan base. More than would enjoy it anyway. We are not saying we have "A lifelike game" we are saying we have "The most realistic on the market". Untill they make a Life 2.0 game where you have to cut your nails and check your ballsack for lumps I am afraid you are going to have to make do with ArmA!
