Thank you for this great mod!

Let me say I never would have imagined myself enjoying this type of game being what you would call a carebear type, but after waiting in the dark last night for friends to come find me so we could meet up I have to say its been a great experiance!

The makers of this game should really be giving Rocket and rest of his team some royalties have to say that without this mod I never would have purchased Arma II and the add on.

Btw can I get a tip on how to get around at night I know using flashlight is a big no no, so other then finding a safe spot and waiting what are my options?

Thanks

well if you WANT to play during the night, I suggest you use your flash light. When you find chem lights use those. Or you can just throw a flare and it'll light a very big area at one go.

Most people just prefer to not play on a night time server.

I agree! This game has thrown me into a whole new gaming experience. I've gotten so used to being pulled one way or the other by intense story lines and/or gaming progression. This mod strips all that fluff down from the get-go and immerses you in another world. There are games. DayZ is more than that.

I downloaded a few other games from Steam. I can't get 10 minutes into any of them without getting sick of another lame story and experiencing the same crap that's been regurgitated since the 80s. DayZ, you are ruining me!

My best tip for night-time travel is... go to your Video settings and turn your Gamma, Vision and Brightness all the way up. Within a couple days I was used to the night time. I'll still pop on my flashlight here and there (still a noob) but once I get my head blown off and I lose my Alice bag FULL of food/drink I'll probably change that tune.

Also, at night when stalking around a town I like to move either in crouch (in walk mode, pinky on Shift to run through grass as it doesn't make it any louder) or walk while standing with my flashlight ready to turn on in case I get spooked (so, all the time...).

Edit:

In response to Daddy'o... I don't suggest flares or chemlights, ever. You've got your flashlight if you need it. Even using that will get you dead eventually. Flares and chemlights are basically asking to get gutted.

And suggesting not playing on a "night server"? Well, every server has a day/night cycle... and how else do you get into towns to get gear? I certaintly don't wander in during the day time. Night time is the only time I can safely get in and out without getting a face full of Zed.

I just have to find some night vision goggles then I would be set....right I will get on that asap lol.

Use flares. Just make sure you're not standing right beside them and that you keep on the move. Works all the time for me
