1.I kinda agree.fire in daytime is not that visible in a forest,while smoke is,so smoke should be more visible.but fire should be visible from a longer distance since in nightime it stands out,giving away your(or your traps) position. 2.i disagree,cause death is pretty much the reason for tents.i mean,you make a camp so you will have stuff to get after you die or run out of ammo.plus,if you raid an enemy base,and you kill em,you lose their tents,so there is no point in risking your stuff. 3.i agree with Rage VG.we avoid them because shooting them will attract players in a distance and agrro more zombies,while losing 2-3 of them in a building keeps you hidden and clear.plus,everytime i get hit by a zombie i'll pass out or start bleeding. about what you said about the nwaf situation,the whole camping system has to change.game is supposed to be realistic,right?just think,what happens in real life when you stand still in the same pose for a long time..some limbs are numb,you get that prickly sensation.they should add this in the game.since your character cant catch his breath when he stopes after running full speed,they should add the exact opossite,cant move properly after standing still for a loooong time.so,campers will think twice before going prone next to the fence,waiting for a random guy to go loot the hangars

Will the custom maps work in the SA?
IcyZ replied to fermentedfish's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
they should release dayz sa with 1-2 more maps so they can focus on fixing the upcoming bugs etc etc in the first months of the game,instead of adding more maps cause chernarus is pretty boring -
So i've away from the game for 1-2 months,and i pretty much forgot that in dayz.everything can happen...I was playin panthera,in a priv hive,so i started off with a m9sd and 2 mags,some coke,food,and 2 bandages.I spawned southeast,next to the airfield,big fight goin on,2 burned choppers on the actuall airstrip and an airplane on the radio tower.I read the chat and found out that 2 groups were busy fighting,one of them crashed the plane on purpose there to kill the choppers cause the other group was busy repairing them.I sneak in the barracks and got an aks kobra,2 mags,sneak out,and i see one dude boarding a white pickup truck.I shoot his car but he manages to escape,so i run away like hell.Luckily there was a huge and slow boat so i use it and go at the east airfield at Radovjila(smthng like that).i head in the air tower and i see zombies aggroin in the city,so i go in for the kill.I see a guy runnin,just and m9sd,so i try to avoid him since i dont kill fresh spawns unless the shoot me.So i see him entering a building,one of the half destroyed,and i just wait for him to die from the millions of zombies so i can steal his food.But i hear dmr shots from his side,and im moving up to take the dmr guy while he loots his victim.No death msg pops up though,and i see both of them moving out,the "unarmed" guy now has a m249.Im pretty much exposed now,and ready to spam my gun while retreating but a landrover comes,and both of em get in it.So the landrover of 3 guys moves out,and i approach the building they entered.I see the white pickup next to it,and i get in.it needed fuel,but lucky for me i had a jerry can.i always pick up full jerry cans :P So i start driving the direction the landrover went,tryin to find them.My plan is to catch up if i can and then crash on them,eject and spray their windows.We are now outside Bled,im busy follwing their dust,i still havent seen them though.So far we were going on road,but when we hit gorje they went of road.And i see them,stopping next to 3 more cars,1 atv and lots of tents.i kill the engine and drop on the groung.i see them moving around,and looting tents,i hear eating and drinking.Dmr guy was standing still for a while couple of meters next to a hatchback,prob afk.i take my m9sd and crawl to him,so i can take him without givin away my position.i aim,head,and he moves.my bullet landed on a tree,and alerted them.i stay still behind the car,proning,while they go behind it,believing they got a sniper shooting from a distance.dmr guy leans every now and then but still,if i move im dead.i scroll to change to my ak and i accidentaly click on Gear.Hatchbacks inventory opens but they got only industrial loot,nothing lethal.so im pretty much fucked,if they move around they will see me and destroy me,i dont stand a chance against them unless i flank them.some seconds passed,but it felt like a decade.they stop hiding and they spread in the woods,moving behind me.i rush in the tents area and check the gear,and BAM satchel charges.placed them in base,set timer and got in their landrover and drove away.explosions everywhere,and one of em dead.i move in and shoot another one while he was running.m249 guy left,and he pops on my face.we both shot at the same time,both dead,u was lucky and got his head cause he hit me first and i was dead in 1 second.i spawn back in and im really close,i ran to the base,load their guns in the landrover and left.i set up a small base nw,just to find these guys in my base the next day.they got me while i was loading in,and one of them typed in direct "Su casa es mi casa"..i tried pushing back and killing em but they had their whole clan there,more than 8 guys.i just died 3-4 more times and raged :P Best dayz experience so far,game is still alive for me

Supply boxes (dropping via parachute, maybe?)
IcyZ replied to rocky46's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
that means that someone flew over and dropped the boxes,that adds a whole new topic,who dropped them?why not drop army forces as well?and why supplies?they should support surviving on an infecting island,that puts the whole world to risk! ....i think i have to chill a bit -
A stupid question:The hive of the standalone will be a different one than the mod's,right?I mean,the character i got on main hive's chernarus,will not exist in the standalone.Or will he? :P

Hello guys and girls.I'm gonna be quick and not waste a lot of your time.I want to make something like DayZ web-episodes or a short movie on my youtube channel.Not just join a server and play randomly.We will have scripts and everything,we will create DayZ tv series on youtube.Our best goal is to get featured on a big YouTube network(maybe get some $$$).Our worst goal,to just get couple of thousand views.We will start with the story of one random guy that accidentaly drops on chernarus,and gets to meet the Zeds and then live there etc etc. (Everything will be gameplay footage,not real life footage) What we need: -Actors.The more the merrier,we will need guys to be random survivors,the crew our protagonist had,bandits that he comes across,friends he will make,etc etc. -We will need a kind server owner that can lock his server for us for some minutes every now and then,and he can spawn us the stuff we will need and he can play with us etc etc. -good editors,to edit the footage,and make cool transitions,and cool animations,and a nice trailer(i'll explain later) -Ideas!I said it will have a script..I LIED!kinda..we will have a script but not something that i,or someone else ,thinks of,we need a small team that will have some cool ideas and create the script before we record.we will all give ideas,and they will edit the best of them and create a nice episode of 8-10 minutes. I didn't presented the whole thing really good because it's hard to explain it by just writing.If you like the idea though,gimme beans and ill send u a pm,or send me a pm and i'll explain more. Thanks for your time!

That's not logic,it's bullshit.If you really think that the gear sets the dificulty in the game,then sir,you are an idiot. I've killed a guy with a machinegun,emptying a whole belt, with my last 4 bullets of my makarov,just cause i played better,aimed head and shot,instead of shooting like there is no tomorrow.I've been killed when i had the best loot i ever found,including nvgs and tws gun.and i died from a zombie,cause i played stupid,i trapped myself,and i got hit while i was reloading,bled to death,used all the bandages. It's not about what you have,but what you do with it.Yeah,NVGs make it easier to play at night,but if you use flares and chemlights correctly,then it's easy for you too.Yeah thermal vision gives a huge advantage to the guy that uses it,but that means nothing,he has to be a good shooter in order to get you.In order to kill you he has to be a good sniper,not a good "thermal user".If he killed you,then it means that you where in a spot that he could get you even with a m14 aim. The difficulty changes according to your actions and skills,and of course according to the enemy's actions and skills.

To all of you that want to balance the game..You realize that in a real life apocalypse there will be no balanace,just death,right?That you could find literaly EVERYTHING,without worrying about getting banned.First it was the too much pvp bitching,then the camping snipers bitching and now this...There is no reason to spend time arguing,just think that this game is supposed to be realistic.Think what would happen in real life.I used to live close to a military base,if a zombie apocalypse happened,i think that i would run there and arm myself.I dont know how to shoot,never even touched a gun,but i won't think about making it fair for others.Plus i'd jump in a motherfucking tank :P But anyways,if you want to play with fucking nerf guns then find,or buy a server,and use the loot you like.There are servers like that ,without thermals and shit,just go and play there and stop bitching!The game won't change cause you or i want it,,the game will change when rocket wants it.Yes,he will use feedback,but something clever and mature,not "Take the snipers out out,they kill me,take the cars out,i dont have one,take the bloodbags out,i have no friend to give me blood,take the magazines out,i have none,take the zombies out,they hit me.Aw,what a cute place,throw in a couple of unicorns,and let's hug!" We paid for arma 2,and downloaded DayZ,end of story.Want something different?Find a server with special loot,fricking buy one,or gtfo and play some pacman,and then bitch about the one shot kills -.-
-
I should not reply to another butthurt bitching post,but i will because the original poster didnt bitch ! Nope,dont remove them!It's just stupid to remove them,just cause some people are silly enough to give away their position at night.And they are the same to guys with NVGs and to guys without them.if you run with a flare or a chemlight,you are dead,no matter what the other guy has.If you throw a flare in Elektro or Cherno,wait for visitors,dont just run around like fricking Heidi!I see a flare,i hide and wait for my target to show himself,usually he picks up the flare or he throws another one,giving away where he wants to go,most of the times heading to places like markets or firestations,then i just make sure that i'll be there,waiting for him to come.If you wanna see at night get your ass a nice pair of NVGs,or use flares and chemlights clever.Throw them and wait,use them as bait to bandits for fucks shakes,don't say "HEY,HERE I AM,ALMOST BLIND,I'LL THROW ANOTHER FLARE,JUST WAIT AND YOU WILL SEE ME,I'LL BE AN EASY TARGET"! About TWS guns.They are overpowered,i agree with that,i have used them,and i know that they give a big advandage to the guy that has them.But the L85 is not a powerfull weapon,it's not one-shot kill,so you have to be a good shooter.If you can headshot a guy,with one try,running at 600 meters away from you,then you deserve it!But so far,most thermals i got were from noobs,that missed me big time,and then waited for me miserably to go around them and shoot them.I got my trophy,i used it,i died,someone else has it,someone else will take it..It's the same with cars and choppers.They are rare,and a big advandage to the guys that have them.But noone will keep em forever,unless he is a fucking gaming legend or a hacker. So stop bitching,and when you die grab a Lee Enfiled and make a trip to NWAF.I went there with a makarov with 3 mags.I killed a guillied dude with an M4A1,and left with guillie and camo,map,gps,ragefinders,nvgs,m4a1 cco sd with 5mags,alice pack with and as50 in it,and a bike (witch i forgot where i parked xD ).There was a destroyed bus with 2 bodies,the guillie dude prob got them,they had more guns in there,i just got what i prefered.

Playing on UTES,on a nice priv hive,that spawns you with guns(preventing fresh spawns from getting sniped straight away),map and other good stuff,when we realize that there are some cars and a dude with a machinegun at the airfield.we had nothing special so we head there.Enjoy :)
-
Have you ever asked yourself what would happen if you use one piece of satchel charges against 5 choppers?(and a butthurt admin :P ) And NHKgameshow's video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UD2mxdXy2AY&feature=g-all-u
-
I KNOW :D :D :D plus,he liked and commented one of my fallujah's video :D Playing with him in episode 3 was really nice,he is a really good player,you feel safe with him around :P
-
Long before we reach the airfield we wanted to place them and then camp the airtower and troll the first player that happen to go to DA CHOPPA! but when we got there we realized that we would prob get sniped :P so we thought that we should explode it on our way out :P But that guy that shot me ruined our plans and we were lucky enough to go in again,and have time to go out and get me some blood :P And ,i dont know why ,i couldn't detonate it from distance,so i set the timer :D
-
i lagged a lot there,as you saw i lost 3 bandages when i used one,my blood dropped long after i got shot,and i had a zombie hitting me and i couldnt see it,i had some huuuuge lag in the server every now and then :/ but i'm not good ar aiming either :P
-
The admin was gay :P he spawned 5 choppers there,and there were 3 more around the airfield.And he kicked/banned us right after we destroyed them as you saw.In fallujah,i always find a lot of cars and helis,and usualy fix them,but this time i couldn't resist,there was no point on using them,no excitement in fixing them etc
-
Lewis/PsiSyndicate is my fav one,and the reason i got DayZ :) i got to play with him in Fallujah,i'm in one of his videos :D and he commented/liked one of my videos,so my life is complete now xD
-
i noticed that every time i log out and i log in(not alt f4ing or combat log,just ending gaming session on a safe place :P) my humanity is different,usualy at 2500.I dont know if we have bugs or the humanity system does not work correctly

So i was playing Lingor with my clanmates,and i spawned in the calamar airfield.I loot a hangar and i find a makarov,and i head to the tower.I see a player in the glass room,so i procced with my gun ready to shoot.I check my mag,it's full,and i go in.I head up the stairs,in the glass room,and i see him.He said to not shoot so i started walking backwards,he had a guilie and a remington,so i thought that i wouldn't stand a chance with my makarov against his shotgun..and he shot me with his remington.I emptied my whole mag on him,i saw him breaking legs and bleeding.He shot me twice,but i just bled a bit,i hide,reload,and go up and empty a second mag..By the time i start shooting again he was dead.I bandaged,and then crawled to loot him.He had prety much everythin!Alice pack,map,gps,binocs(no nvgs though),camo clothing,m9sd with tons of mags,lots of medical supplies,and food(cans and cooked meat).I picked up everything,and i put the m9sd in the alice pack,i left only some epi pens on his body. So,is 1 makarov mag better than 2 remington shots? :P I mean,i didnt instakilled him with a shot to the head,i tried to ,but i caused him to bleed to death,while my blood just dropped to 6000.And i went down the stairs,reload,and then head back up and shoot him even if i saw his name getting killed,before i bandaged.i ate his food and went back up to 11000+ blood.Was he a noob with great luck to find all that stuff,or is the remington nerfed more than the makarov?
-
I thought that the remington was way better than the makarov!or that almost every gun is better than it!
