Shark Eel 9 Posted August 20, 2013 Unfortunately due to the increasing popularity of day-only servers, this video is kinda obsolete for most players. However, for the players who continue to play the traditional way, i created a video guide on lighting and fires, explaining the use and features of each type of light. It was made a loooong time ago, so i'm sorry for any things i may have missed out. Enjoy.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEYscpaAON0 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrumpyGat (DayZ) 497 Posted August 20, 2013 Look, I will level with you. The idea for your video is smart, you are showing something in a explanatory fashion that is useful for new and even old players.BUT, you need a microphone if you want to get views and/or likes. There is nothing I hate more (and i'm sure that anyone will agree) than having to read text on youtube videos. You can't follow along, and you can't keep interested because its like a video of a newspaper being filmed lol, and it gives you absolutely no way of making yourself unique, or separating you from the other 1,000,000 dayz videos. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While some audio might be easier to follow in some cases the text was perfectly readable and presented at a good pace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheLastEmp 295 Posted August 27, 2013 Using text is okay imo (if you slow it down a little bit ;)) , although adding your own voice adds a uniqueness to youtube videos that should not be underestimated.... assuming your interested in attracting more views and "likes"...

Shark Eel 9 Posted December 2, 2013 Yeah I guess i should have added sound. Bear in mind however that I was 14 & a half when this video was made, exactly a year ago. I was kinda squeaky then, and i still am a bit. Plus, my accent doesn't really help either, nor does the background noise you might hear. I just thought it was more appropriate to use text that was readable by a large audience than to use voice. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
