Kebab (DayZ) 10 Posted July 24, 2012 [Posted this in the gallery and it got ignored, shame that using 2 months preparing something gets you less comments than a video where a guy shoots another guy with a sniper rifle]Hello all.Couple of months ago I started planning on making a guide series to DayZ, helping new people to get started. Topics I will cover will pretty much cover anything that isn't too advanced (I doubt I will take time going through every weapon etc, I won't do this in that much detail as I find that somewhat unnecessary). What I will cover are vehicles (again, basics, I won't take everything for a ride), navigating, fighting, first aid, player interactions etc.Parts will be added as I get them done.This isn't my first rodeo either, I've been doing videos for some years now. Quality should be as such, even though I'm not particularly proud of the editing of the first part - it'll have to do though.Why? Well, the guides that I had glanced through were shit to be quite honest, usually some guy improvising live over a footage, not really taking the time to produce something half way decent. Also getting started was bit of an hassle for me and it'll be more of that now that people can't use in game comms to get help on the spot from more experienced players. Thanks and have fun. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dawn (DayZ) 27 Posted July 24, 2012 tip nr.1 - Turn of bobbing in Options, running in 1st person while bobbing makes spotting other people really hard. Dont use post processing either as it blurs out the distance which makes things harder to spot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kebab (DayZ) 10 Posted July 25, 2012 The head bobbing doesn't bother me, I rather like the feel of not walking on tracks. Also my post processing is off (hate the fake blur FOV effect), so I don't know what you're talking about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zemalf 3 Posted July 26, 2012 (edited) Excellent video and guide.(edit) I'll repeat what I commented on the video on YouTube:By far the most "professional" video guide I've seen for DayZ.? Heck, it's almost too professional, it's so rare to see thoughtfully scripted gaming videos these days :)But yeah, the fact that you've put a lot of thought, planning and effort into this shows - and this is very good viewing for new DayZ players.Good job, kudos and here's to awesome upcoming parts of guide!
