I would prefer to leave survivability and skill to player knowledge and player skill. Something that has no real use other than fun misc activity like a song you learn for an acoustic guitar or along those lines.

Pick up a guitar, and go busk at your local busy street. Also, have you met this girl in person, face to face? If not, there's a chance you're being Chris Hansen'd. Be discreet. You could always ask Rocket if he needs a personal assistant. Send him a few dozen messages, it doesn't harm to try!

Ouch. I wouldn't even know how to play the guitar without youtube.

Hermon Li here also known as SexyGuitarSurvivor, (when i play guitar on the hospital roof :P) BCG (US) - Battlecraft Gaming, is looking for a few new members to tighten our squad and gain some land on a server we play on We are not bandits, to a point We are not heroes, to a point We are survivors I've played the dayz mod for over a year, i know every trick in the book, most loot spawns. I plan to write an online book eventually about my best experiences on the mod Back to the squad/clan You need to be able to... 1.) Understand Orders 2.) Master your role/position. ex, if you're a pilot, don't do a barrel roll, or randomly crash into shit. 3.) Loot and survive at all times, gather supplies 4.) Do not have intention's of betrayal or spy 5.) Have fun :) If you lack a few of these, honestly we can help you out, we're not elitists or the best, but we sure as hell could be We have openings for all roles, the more roles you can fill the better Currently we play Overwatch mod, and sticking to it. For an interview, post who you are in this forum, go on teamspeak3: BATTLECRAFTPVP.NET - Head in the Battlecraft Gaming chan, pass is ,, (2 commas) We look forward to seeing you in the world!

Beautiful. I can feel the hours of my life slipping away as I watch this gorgeous beast take shape. The pile of money that has accumulated from me throwing it at my screen has now filled my room, and accomplished nothing. Here's the worlds greatest "sweep method" guitar player and also good guy Aussie, Frank Gambale accurately portraying the joy I will feel as I watch DayZ develop.

After Reading one of the comments, not going to point them out but I want dayz to one day be a game where I can sit down around a fire, possibly loot a guitar and invite other people to join me

yeah came to my mind too (STALKER....i just loved to listen to those "tramps" sitting around a fire and playing guitar :)

While eager, I'm not sure if it beats the night I drunkenly played air guitar on my keyboard and posted 5k copies of they gave me keys to a US server thread. I'll never forget the Smasht quote to this day, "stop breaking the forum please."

I'm interested. I play guitar, primarily, and own a pro caliber recording studio.

I've been thinking for a long time that I want to start a band in DayZ. Seeing the radiostation application made me think that this could actually be a real opportunity to have a proper venue for this idea. I don't really want the burden of trying to run a station of my own for various reasons. Instead I figured why not just try to get a few songs on some of these stations. So my idea is to find someone who wants to collaborate online shooting tracks back and forth. Must be 25+ and third eye activated. I can play most styles of music and play guitar, bass, keys and program drums. PM me if interested.

Hi As i am fairly new to this, i would like to find myself a good clan(it gets boring after awhyle out there). I have played for a week, watched some guides and know generally how the game works. Playing the vanilla version, and whenever it's updated (1.7.7.1), But can be convinced for other versions too :P Speak fluent english, and very little russian, mother tonque Estonian Internet connection fairly good, so unless my service provider doesent fuck up, i will be available Pc not a toaster... Age 16 Like metal and everything where there's somebody torturing a guitar Also puppies... i'l stop now...

This is my personal account & in no way applies to any of you, but hopefully provides an insight into the life of a twenty-something year-old who just happens to enjoy gaming among other things, and why I choose vanilla over Origins [or any modded DayZ versions for that matter]: I don't know about the amount of free time you all are prepared to dedicate to a game, or any hobby for that matter, but personally, I don't have a lot. Building a house in Origins [from what I've seen on streams] either requires a lot of time to gather resources & blueprints, or a clan/group to make this more of a community achievement thus minimising the effort on an individual's part. I'm a lone wolf, always will be, & have no desire to seek 'gaming partners' or a clan. The thrill of meeting someone and cooperating for that session alone is enough for me, & I like the idea that one day I can be running around with a 1911 & an empty water bottle, and the next life I'm toting a DMR, GPS & rangefinders. Potentially, in one run from Cherno to Balota. In addition to DayZ, I play electric guitar with a group of friends on a weekly basis. I like to go freshwater & ocean fishing when I can spare the time. I enjoy the company of my gorgeous girlfriend for many, many hours of the week, as well as cook my own meals & hold down a full time job as a graphic designer for print applications. Gaming in general is pretty low on my priorities list to be honest. I simply don't have the hours in the day for Origins & all the bling they've thrown together. It's just fluff. Has anyone heard the quote, "the best things in life aren't things?" When I do have a few hours spare I like to go balls deep in vanilla DayZ instead of spending so much time hoarding 1's & 0's that are going to spawn the next time anyway. The argument of whether we should have fancy NPCs, post-apocalyptic houses, drivable bathtubs, & a magical island of military grade loot is laughable to me, and I think you just may have poured too many hours into this game looting to think any of that's warranted. Despite the hacking that went on, I really miss the interactions of 9+ months ago. That is what makes the game for me, there is NOTHING missing from vanilla, it's what you do with the tools you're given. On a side note, +1 vote for Chernarus. It's a killer map you can't deny that. EDIT: Sorry for the novel. TL;DR: not enough free time to get the most out of Origins, interaction in regular DayZ trumps 'added stuff.'

I want to wear tight blue jeans and a leatherjacket. Then I try to find an acoustic guitar and play it in the wilderness sitting in front of a fireplace.

It's just like one of my russian videogames. Cheeki Breeki around a campfire whilst streaming guitar songs. Or better yet, a rare Guitar item for dem social events. Could drink tons of vodka while having beans around the campfire.

You can now melee with a guitar :D

The music is just me on my guitar :P and humming along aha. That guy was awesome!

most of the 80s guitar rifs basically something like this awesome. i love grimey/apocalypse style songs to represent zombies

I'd actually support seeing an acoustic guitar being added lol, basically just a dinner bell but still fun non the less.

Mamaaaaa...... i just killed a man Put a bullet in head stole his guitar now hes dead mamaaaa........ wait.... sorry.

Dayz --- Encouraging Cooperation I believe the best way to make people work together is to give them a common goal to strive for or to give them a common enemy. These are some ways I could see the overkill-on-sight problem we all face being resolved. -Emphasize survival Something like a stat counter for how many dayz a player has survived and some other stuff like beanz consumed and zeds (NOT players) killed could emphasize the fact that this game is primarily about surviving a zombie apocalypse as opposed to murdering survivors, like most of the playerbase seems to believe (you secretly psychopathic douchebagz took my beanz!). -Redo health system The current health system = flawed. For one it is too easy to die. Guns are in some aspects more deadly than they would be in real life (AS50, I'm looking at you!). Getting shot anywhere else than the head should NOT be an instant kill. Yes if someone get shot in their organs they will likely die from shock or blood loss, but not immediately. If someone gets shot anywhere but the head they should have time to return fire before passing out and/or dying due to shock and/or blood loss. My other problem with the health system is how fast a person can recover from a gunshot wound. As it is, a person gets their legs blown out by a shotgun or bleeds halfway to death and boom they are back up in an instant due to a magical bandage or morphine injector. I personally think it should take more than 10 seconds to be back on one's feet after getting f*cking kneecapped or shot in the guts. With this redone health system a person would have to be certain that when they shoot they're getting a killshot should their victim return fire. Mexican standoffs, anyone? TL;DR It should be harder to kill someone, and be even harder to recover from almost being killed. -Co-op actions. Gears of war-esque co-op sequences could be a great incentive for people to team up. Something like requiring at least two people to open the heavy wearhouse doors or four people to carry a main rotor assembly could encourage teamplay rather than lone wolfing. The already present requirement of a second person to perform a blood transfusion or epi-pen is a good example of how this mechanic would work. -Increase zombie difficulty and/or number. As it is, zombies are pretty unrewarding to kill and are underwhelming in how much of a threat they pose (when they aren't mike tyson zombies). I could see a group of survivors teaming up if they wanted to clear an area with some nifty gear lying about of a large group of zeds or perhaps if a reclamation system introduced, a group teaming up to clear a town of zombies. -5-10 minute respawn wait and/or preventing people from looting their own corpses. This will help prevent people from camping near dead bodies so they can kill a person multiple times. -Make guns and ammo rarer/emphasize melee combat. Of course guns would still be around, but it would be a lot harder to find them, thus making melee weapons the more standard weapon of choice. This way if Survivor A is charging at Survivor B with a hatchet, Survivor B will know that Survivor A is probably after his beanz before it is too late, taking away that instant assrape that Survivor A would have provided to Survivor B had he found a gun. Non-lethal weapons may also be implemented so a person doesn't have to chose between not killing a potentially innocent stranger or being a dick and killing on sight to protect their beanz. -Trapping/Poison. Imagine you were just killed and robbed of your beanz by that fresh spawn you helped out or that not so friendly "friendly" you so naively trusted, now imagine that just in preparation for said assraping, you poisoned your beanz beforehand or left an explosive surprise in your vest (the poison and explosives being a rare loot, of course). In that case, you could at least die knowing that your murderer is now getting an assraping as equally bad as the one he just gave you. Maybe then he will think twice next time about robbing you or anyone else. -Diversions. Some people get bored after they have gotten enough gear to survive because they feel like there isn't much to do anymore. Things like the building and crafting system Rocket has already confirmed are being implemented. Perhaps we could go further with a system for farming, or cooking, or... whatever the hell else. This would add to the activities that can be done in game and would keep the game more fresh and give dicks something to do besides sniping fresh spawns bcuz dey R b0r3d. -Pointless animations/items. This connects back to the diversions part. Various "fun" items like books, games, purely cosmetic clothing, and whatever the hell else could be introduced to add some variety to the game and break up the monotony at times. These could pair with animations a person could perform like a guy playing a song on the guitar he found. These could in turn develop into some interesting and funny situations like a shootout while playing cards or a chemlight dance party around a campfire. I also think people would be less inclined to shoot on sight if a stranger greeted them with a funny dance animation. I know I would. -Holstering guns. 'Nuff said.

Anyone remember Siney, with his live acoustic guitar in Cherno? Lol :-) Playing music over his mic. http://youtu.be/EBvlizJRIFw

There should be a music system like in Lord of the Rings online, where you were able to play an instument of your choosing. Or at least a guitar animation like in Stalker :) the game could pick random guitar tunes from a list ..

I would like to see the crouch sliding :) used in I44 mod, eating, drinking, cooking and playing guitar anims ...and scuba diving

I would rather a Guitar to play around a campfire. Get out of here Stalker.

Doesnt matter why a game exploded. If rocket just wanted to make a popular game/money then yeah im sure he could go along the line of pandering to the lowest common denominator. But that is the arch-enemy of creativity. He has a vision, he will stick to it. People can like it or fuck off basically. Rocket making the game how he wants it is Jimi Hendrix holding 2 mins of savage feedback by chewing his guitar next to some stadium speakers, whereas doing what the general public wants you to do is Justin Beiber holding his crotch and blowing kisses at 12 year olds.
