I've seen a lot of people asking what is DayZero? Made this little video to try to clear up some of the features and perks of DayZero. Let me know what you guys think!

Hello fellow community, I am here of aid for an idea that I have been toying around with for quite a while. Ok, so where do I start.... Basically I am a longtime player of DayZ (May 2012) and am a less than great YouTuber, and I have an idea to make a show, and what better setting than DayZ? I am here looking for anybody who just loves dayz, story related episodes on Youtube, can maybe do some cool special effects (my skillset is limited), or just has ideas to throw into the pot I have going. I'd love to get some members of the community to help make this a reality. Here is the premise I have thus far: A main protagonist is a citizen on Island of Emita (Arma 2 mod Island Life) who is a lazy young adult with no aspirations who decides to join the military in hopes of getting action there that his lowkey life is missing. (Switch over to regular Arma 2) Once in the military our protagonist comes to learn that this was his true calling and he quickly becomes one of the most renowned members of his unit. He rides this good wave until it all turns downhill when he lets his arrogance and energy get the best of him when he moves down an entire enemy squad but also his captain as well. After being dishonorably discharged from the military he has a hard time adjusting to the quiet life of being a citizen in Island Life. He soon pursues a life of crime and has many adrenaline packed encounters with police, gangs, swat, ect. After his luck runs out he is finally slammed by the police and during his stay in jail overhears about a strange virus spreading in the east. His sentence has him sent to Chernogorsk to be put in a work prison there but his flight is strangely shot down by unknown gun fire. Finding himself the only survivor, he begins to travel and encounter his first zombie. Here the story can really be fleshed open with all kinds of cool scenarios in DayZ. The footage would all be real gameplay, not acted, but would all play into the story. His first encounter with dangerous people, His first kill and the trauma it leaves, ect. Anything can happen, and the story can go on for long! I think it is a solid idea, but it needs support from bright minds that are found on this community, who can turn this idea to an awesome show! So let me know what you guys think! I am very enthusiastic about this and would love any support/help/input. Thanks for taking the time to read this guys, Beads.

Will do guys, maybe I should wait until standalone or?

Really guys?? :D

Oh yeah I have that downloaded I read some of it a while ago!! Yeah definitely could take some pieces out of it with authors permission! The part I'm worried about is the editing.

So I wanted to try out streaming for fun, and using xsplit I have trouble getting it to stream arma/dayz when I click on add/game it won't give me the tab it usually does with the games title as other games have, but it says I must first click on the game and then add it. No success thus far. Anybody know how to add arma/dayz to xsplit to stream? Ps already tried running as admin.

Yes these are all great options for the survivor, and you gave me this idea with yours above, to slowly demonstrate the protagonist losing grips with sanity and becoming more tense with each atrocity he is forced to commit in order to survive, and protect other survivors he meets and trusts. He will use these good acts he undertakes such as saving other survivors, protecting them, or sharing supplies with them as a sort of therapy to remind him that he is a good person and keep him gripped to reality. What do you guys think?

See you are on the same train of thought as me! The options and scenarios are so vast that it could make for a really dynamic character. I would want growth in the character to change him throughout the series and again you are on the same train because I do want him to start as an average joe. One thing I certainly want is that he is flawed. I don't want him to be the perfect do good hero who saves everyone and makes no mistakes. I want him to screw up and face consequences, make hard decisions, but that doesn't mean I want a bandit who just kills. But anyways, pm me if you wanna get involved, I'd love to have a similar mind on board!(:

I think it is a good idea so long as it doesn't over populate certain spawn and make another obsolete. Also, it shouldn't make it any spawn more accessible to loot than another.

If you guys haven't seen it Podagorsk (probably butchered that) is coming out soon, very excited!

Hence why I want to make a more educated video!

Let me know if you guys want a more in depth, more educated, better quality version of this!

1920x1080AMD FX-4100 Quad-Core 3.60 GHzAMD 7850 2GBGDDR5 Sapphire Overclock edition8 GB's RAMYesI run this game horribly at about 20 FPS, can anyone explain why? (I tried putting it on a RAM disc) Is this just not an AMD game? I can run Skyrim and BF3 on ultra but can hardly play this game...

Yes, it was due to my montiors being dinosaurs, but I just got new ones so I can go 1080 now!

Yeah, you are absolutely right, I kinda threw this together at 4 am to help give some clarity, if people want it, I will make a post recording analysis while recording some of the features!

Adding this to description, thanks a lot!

First off, very glad to see the forums back up! Missed the Dayz community! Secondly, in the anticipation of waiting for standalone, I decided to do a series on DayZ Origins. More in the lab inn the chance that you guys enjoy! Criticism is my friend so feel free to share thoughts and opinions, positive and negative!

Bridge episode!

Just did today actually, got new monitors Woooo! (:

I find that unfortunate.

So, i want to put dayz origins on my SSD so that I can play it and get better frames. Unfortunately, I only have like 50 GB of SSD and can't afford to throw all of arma, OA, and the other mods on there, any idea how I can set the directory to get origins from my SSD, while Arma stays on my regular hard drive? if that makes sense.... I know how to do it with regular Dayz, as you cange change the directory for it on DayZ Commander, but how can you do it with the other mods? Help would be much appreciated! (:

No worries!So as of right now I only have my regular DayZ in my SSD, so i i transfer my Origins to there, and have the directory set to SSD, then it should work out?!

As far as I see, there is no option to change directory on the other non regular dayz mods. Maybe i'm not seeing something?

I couldn't stay away from DayZ for too long. A couple weeks and i was getting the itch. Hope to make a good series out of this while awaiting SA.

there we go fixed (:
