Yeah the patch before 1.7.1.1 was fun. Now the zombies basically see you from any position other than prone like 100ft away. Even if you are prone I've had zombies run at me from about 20ft while in tall grass (if that helps).

Yeah when I went to get a camera it was between the GH2 and the Rebels. What I really like about the Canon DSLR's is that you get a natural cinematic look right off the bat. I use an old 50mm prime Nikon ai-s lens from the 80's for video which gets me closer to that look but still have to do some more in post. Where as in the Canons, even people who never touch their stuff in post usually get a filmic look which is cool. And I don't have another $250 to blow on a memory card for my Camera either so I have a less powerful SD that can run hacks at about 100mbps which is still really good. What kind of vintage lenses do you use btw? And anyway, I'd love to see how the project comes out!

So, after the 1.7.1 patch (with all the vehicles being reset after the clans hoarded them) I took it upon myself to gather some car parts and find a vehicle. I gathered 3 wheels, and a fuel tank. Luckily, that's just what I needed to repair Dawg Mk. II (Dawg Mk. I was a bus). The problem is that because I really only trust one other person in-game, I'm too paranoid to go anywhere with it. Spaghetti was falling out of my pockets left and right in Zeleno for a refuel. I almost never go anywhere with my car either. When I'm on, I just drive through the woods. And when I'm waiting for my friend to get geared before I pick him up this is what I'm doing. Edit: Btw, I know people accuse you of hacking like crazy if you have a good gun and low zombie/player kills. If I'm requested by an authority figure, I was recording when I picked up that gun off somebodies dead body near a tent as I was driving along the map. (Hope Image Code Works XD) Obviously this is not a problem with the game. I'm just curious, does anyone else feel this way? After three weeks of playing in-game this has been my first and only good vehicle. I'm just too paranoid to do anything with it. Anyone else feel this way? Why or why not I suppose. BTW, here's a vid of me and a friend repairing the bus/me repairing my offroad.

Goats man..

Thanks man :).

Hey I'm bored right now. As a fellow film hobbyist, what do you shoot with? I use a hacked Panasonic GH2, and omg the quality of the footage is amazing for the price. Just curious.

I found one as well near balota. They're surprisingly good in the woods compared to my SUV XD Well I guess it's better than having no atvs. If I kept finding them I'd probably keep taking them as well. Plus, in that quantity, they're not as important.

Found a vehicle. More ridiculousness will ensue. But this video is pretty basic.

Lol, I would never raid with my vehicle. If anything I would use it to transport a friend and keep moving until he clears it out and gets what he came for. And the good thing about raiding tent camps is that they are almost always out of the way and left unattended :). But I would never park my car near one.

And now you don't? Or did you lose it? You didn't finish the story XD.

Awesome server :). Runs really well. I'm making it my home server. Long live 101 lol because I have a car in it >.> Btw are you updating to 1.7.1.1 now?

Hopefully they respawned in 1.7.1

Has anyone successfully joined a 1.7.1 server?

Try and shoot on gloomy days. Definatley adds to the experience. Add some abstract shots in between scenes. ie: abandoned train tracks, time lapse of something, or whatever for a few seconds. I've used this before. It's sort of like eye candy in between scenes. Reference beans.

I actually haven't seen this particular video before until now XD. 8min54s in is great! However, I've seen some like it. Except, what differs with DayZ is that there is no ai. So all the crazy shit that's been happening to me and the people I've been playing with lately has just come out of our conversations, glitches, and hackers fucking with everyone. I most definitely have used videos like that as my inspiration though. I think they're called gag reels. And I hope to keep making these as long as I get more worthy footage. edit- I also think the key to making a good DayZ video is to trim down the footage, at least if possible. Because I really enjoy watching other's playthroughs but hate when i get a 40 minute video to watch when there's only about 3 minutes of actual value. Usually the rest is just them trekking through the forest or something, which is fine as long as they're having a chat about something XD.

Yeah we didn't know wtf was going on. It got rid of our backpacks, and when we d/ced and reconnected we spawned in the ocean which is a known glitch which sometimes happens when you change skins. Lost all my shit including an M4CCO. However, I found an M14 AIM when i respawned in elektro so no fucks were given. Running around like a nun was fun while it lasted.

Because.. Batman, I haven't seen shit. I've checked damn near every vehicle spawn point on Dallas 42, and 48. I've checked countless spawns on NY servers as well. I'm beginning to think that it might just be a better idea to start just going around the outskirts of the map where textures are sloppy looking for group/clan camps. Do vehicles stay in the server when one logs out? Or do they only appear when you log in but are tired to the server? I've found a tractor before and found gas, but was in a group and didn't want to leave anyone behind in my tractor dust.b So what are some of the best spots to find vehicles, preferably one with 4 doors but whatever. Even a damn bicycle would make my day. Any screen shots? Also, can some servers actually disable vehicles from spawning?

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASEEEEE No monthly fee. I'm sorry, but I favor any other payment model over that. Especially, with dev/player hosted servers, the need for constant income will be less. However, I would pay a full $60 for a full DayZ game. I would also participate in kickstarter, and buy a shirt.

Gamma, Do you speak it!? +HDR+Brightness I think it's just part of the ARMA editors cycle and don't know if it can be changed. To my knowledge if you said it was 14:00 Military time in Operation Arrowhead from when you spawned it followed from there in real time. And because I believe Dayz is based around the arma editors skyboxes and stuff I doubt it could be changed. I don't mind raising gamma and HDR at night, but if it could be avoided I would totally support the cause. It should still be hard to see and shouldn't make flares obsolete. It should cater to those who want to stalk and those who wish to survive. It should still be hard to see where your going but not too much so that there is still that fear of not knowing if someone is up above watching you from the hills.

Seriously. With the recent patch, it's even more eerie to hold your fire, which I did until I was shot at.

There was some chance involved. If I had looked left first I would have been done. However, I thought I made the best of a bad situation instead of doing a panic abort.
