Charb

Friend and I were screwing around in ARMEX to get more comfortable with the AN-2 and she managed to stall it while flying up this hill, but somehow managed to gracefully brush against the trees and float down. She made this postcardish screenshot and I thought i'd share it with you. Not being an armahead I don't know how familiar you guys are with this situation, but apparently it is VERY easy to reproduce. I did this on my first attempt, no damage to Plane. The only reason the hull has damage is because I bumped (sorta crashed) into a fighterjet leaving the hanger :(

It annoyed me back when rocket started using reddit. In his own words for the simple fact it has an upvote option. Okay sure, whatever... that's cool, you do what you gotta do. I never signed up for reddit, but as months went by.. hey... did you hear about this? uhm... no, I didn't. oh? I saw it on Reddit. so as time went by, more and more I felt left out because of the simple fact I wasn't a part of another community. I could have just signed up or went there more often, but I didn't. Why should I be required to check multiple sites for information on a game? I didn't realize there was such a heated debate over this can problem. Honestly I thought they were stupid. I think some of them are just plain half-assed. I actually like Fraggle-O's but I mean... not much of an attempt to be timid, or even believable for some. at the same time It doesn't matter, just because if they were going to be put in, who is to say they couldn't be taken out. I'm sure the #1 priority was removing the current name-brand items before SA alpha steam release. giving us.. months and months of time to come up with proper replacements or better themed items. I wasn't going to take it upon myself to start a thread or join a flame war. It annoys me, but it doesn't break the game i love. The bigger problem... is the lack of communication between communities. if there was a counter for hours logged in or posts read. I'm sure I'd have thousands of hours on this forum. Wake up, have coffee and breakfast on the forums, get home, have dinner on the forums for months on end. I just think its beyond retarded to be forced to go to multiple social networks to just keep on track WTF is going on with this game.

all this video does is show how little matt actually plays the game... Can't think of an example for another weapon that uses 9mm rounds? AHhhhh C'mon !!!

nice abusive use of tags to draw attention to yourself. Just goes to prove everyone with a channel on youtube is an attention whore. I mean seriously WTF why is griff or mattlightfoot even a tag for this? just... pathetic.

Well... Emoticons go from Left To Right And... thats the nicest thing I can say... so i'll stop :)

damn, Thought this was going to be another excellent live action video :(

hmm... after the just saw rocket again thread I question every image of rocket...

The Dayz Team works hard to finally allow us to loot and wear custom clothing in SA and YOU want to complain about it? You should attempt to pick better battles on what you want to see in this game. This is something most players wanted to see and have been asking to get for quite a while.

I would like to take this opportunity to point out http://big-t.org/donate/ which i have no affiliation with. (they have made enough of peoples money to start a 2nd server lolz) I would also like to say that it is absolutely the ASSHOLE of the DAYZ community. I would also like to point out http://bigt.hopto.org/stats/ which if you lookup charb has a played time of 4747 minutes = about 80 hours with a whopping 2 survivor kills, they tried to take my shit so i shot them. Private hives like this ONLY fuels bullshit PVP and forced combat situations because there is NO penalty for death which goes AGAINST EVERYTHING this mod stands for. The only reason to do this... is because you and your 3-4 friends are INCAPABLE of spending enough between you to host a DAYZ server, which I guess means you are... what 12? it is like 50 bucks for a 50 man server isn't it? that seriously is 10 bucks between 5 guys... but w/e It only caters to the INSTANT GRATIFICATION SOCIETY which we live in today. garbage, garbage, GARBAGE !!!11212123!!@!!!!@#$!!!!

#1 Do not put yourself in a vulernable position (looting cherno/elektro OMG WHY I GET SHOT ?!) #2 Trust No One !!! #3 Having backup gear is nice, but you should always carry your best gear. (camp/cars will just be raided and you'll never get to use the stuff) These aren't pro-tips...

what about amsterdam?

A train sounds cool and all but its just a bad idea. I don't know if it has ever been suggested before... but... The only good idea for a working train is a hadcart or pump trolley. Could have a few spawn on the map at various locations and the thing keeping them from going the entire length is a parked train car. So for example, you have a wrecked train car at balota airstrip so the western handcart only goes from kamenka to komarovo, and finally balota where it stops due to the sitting train cars. then have another blockage east of elektro so you have to go west into elektro, on to cherno, finally stopping at balota (on the other side of the same wreck as before) I guess depending what side you enter the handcart affects the direction it goes in? I think it might be more of a novelty item than anything, but THIS would be the best way to do it imho... (Edit) TRICKED INTO POSTING IN AN OLD THREAD !!!

I would vote for someplace in ireland or scotland. I don't know how hard it would be to do something like london, but if london is possible, I would be interested to play on that map. Once SA is out of alpha all they need to do is sell us pre-order DLC on steam for like $5 per map to generate quick extra revenue to get the ball rolling.

Obviously with SA In the near future there are alot of things we don't know yet. Primarily for me, there are two things I have been thinking about for the last 2 months. 1. How many pistol shots will it take to kill a zombie? 2. How "Fast" will indoor zombies actually be? Back in June I used to mow down zombies with a 1911 or Revolver out in the open, but after the pistol nerf I really had to start training zombies indoors and aim for the head to be more effective. L2sneaknoob you say? Okay sure, but there are always situations where you end up attracting unwanted attention. Obviously it being a while since I started the game I think it is safe to say I play it completely different. Playing 2017 I've tried really hard not to shoot zombies at all unless required. I wanted to be more stealthy and I thought really hard about what I used to do when i first started playing. Throwing items to distract zombies is something I've tried to do alot recently but am having alot of issues with. It just doesn't seem effective. Can we improve on zombie distractions to create more/improved crowd control? - I think throwing flares has issues as they will run to where the flare is originating from even if thrown while out of sight. - Throwing Tin cans and empty whiskey bottles to create noise do not really seem useful at all. ( Do they even work that way? ) - Can we have zombies attracted to the sound of broken glass so throwing a Tin can (or rock/pebble) at a window down the street will attract attention? - What about lighting a fire on the outside of town at night? Not something to have them full sprint towards, but perhaps maybe meander towards it if within 100m? - Using the new "Crafting system" to empty a blood bag into a whiskey bottle and having them attracted to the smell of blood, or even just emptying a bag on the ground. - Taking a better look at smoke grenades, because even during the day at certain "conditions" they will ignore the smoke 20m from them infront of their face. - New lootable items like an electronic smoke alarm which you can either set off and throw, or destroy to remove the battery for other items? By no means am I trying to ask for easier zombies, I enjoy the challenge DAYZ has always been. In fact I actually WANT zombies to path thru buildings normally instead of just roaming the streets, or maybe hide indoors. I'm just thinking about having to deal with 20-30 "indoor running" zombies in larger cities because your only weapon is loud. I always, ALWAYS prefer an axe if i can find one and will head towards barns/stables ASAP, but I think we could use more tools to allow players to be crafty in the way they sneak through a town instead of trapping them in a building or hiding in a tree.

Anything that seems unusual is automatically a hacker. IS THERE AN ADMIN ONLINE ?! THE WORLD IS ON FIRE !!! THERE IS A HACKER ON YOUR SERVER !!! Helicopter mysteriously runs out of fuel while landed? HACKER ! Get Shot when no one is around? HACKER ! Break your legs doing nothing? well.. kinda hard to say because of all the wierd glitches... could be the game... lets just go with HACKER !

I only use 3rd person to drive because you really can't see objects on the road cruising at 80-90km, other than this fact I personally dislike 3rd person.

I think women characters in DAYZ should get knocked down anytime they try to fire almost any weapon in a standing/crouching position. Best part is the internet is full of videos supporting this particular notion !!!

I was thinking about this as I couldn't fall asleep at 5am, what if zombies couldn't walk through closed doors/walls? Perhaps the most obvious solution is the best thing?

You guys apparently have never had the misfortune of ALT+Tabbing back into the game only to have your gun fire automatically. I had this happen once while holding a M249 with a new belt. Hit my friend once and managed in the mayhem to just look at the sky while i tried to stop shooting. It has been quite a long time since I've seen this "glitch" but man oh man times were dangerous in camp then !!!

I wouldn't download anything from anysite personally. I'd wait until there actually was a link in dayz commander, not worth the risk.

It allows the ample use of "In Russia" jokes?

Am I the only one that thinks products should be named after some of the forum team as another thank you for all the time they spend dealing with us? (Smasht) A delicious can of fully cooked smashed potatoes? (Ubiquitousbadguy) Bad Guy Bandit Beans - They aren't so bad !!! Fraggle Fizzy Pop - Never settle for less creative juices aren't flowing, but you guys get the idea

You parked too close to a tree and it slid and took damage?

Well the original winchester did fire .45 rounds. This is why the current ammo system needs to go. You should be able to find various rounds (1-3) and be required to load magazines/cartridges. even be able to find rare larger magazines. The winchester would not require any magazine of course making it a much more well rounded gun if this could be implemented.

I remember when they added the patch that auto-removed tents and vehicles in debug, do private servers have control over whether or not they despawn?
