Do players know that DayZ used to have 100+ unique books in it? Real life books that you could actually read in-game. All classics, from Jules Verne to Tolstoy and Dumas. There used to be a server long ago, called "Gents of Novo" where the city of Novodmitrovsk was the only safe zone. At nights, players would gather around a bonfire on the main square listening to a person who'd read a different book every night. Good times.... I've no idea why BI decided to remove these books. They were all classics, so their rights are public domain anyway.
Capturing rain water in multiple methods absolutely needs to be re added to the game! example tarp + 4 sticks = rainwater collection tub kit, deploy kit add a rock then it will make a pool of water when it rains that will be clean drinkable.
I think they removed it due to adding allot of rivers around the north where it didn't used to be. I liked this, because you had to prepare before going to nw no water around and only tac bacon around. Sad to se so many small but very important game changes go away
Great ideal but I want the funktion back where you could capture rain water while it's raining like how you used to be able to do, maybe it was back in patch 0.46 - 0.40
A similar thing you can do IRL is take a large, clear plastic bag, and put the end of a leafy tree branch in it (still attached to the tree). Cinch down the opening with some cordage, and let it sit in the sun. The tree will "sweat" water, which then condenses in the bag. Beware, though, if you do this too much, you will kill that limb, and possibly the entire tree if you do it to multiple limbs. Better to switch up trees and limbs, giving them time to recover.
Having played Dayz since its 1st week of early access I knew most of these and don't understand why many things have been taken out. I loved capturing rain water with a canteen because it always rains.
It would take 5 hours to fill a bottle like that in real life, depending on the rain... You can poor water from one bottle into another, which is nice 👍
On my server, I bury sea chests for players to find, which are full of what I call "The Holy War Starter Pack." In the chest is a Templar helmet, long sword, Holy Bible, a bunch of crackers (think communion wafers), and LOTS of Mad Monk Kvass (wine substitute). Let's also not forget the police nightstick is working, there used to be a medieval mace, chainsaw (sadly isn't working, but can be filled with gas), improvised bow and arrows (I REALLY want these back in the game), a city bus, multiple versions of the truck, and oh, so much more. I used to have a lot of fun whacking people with the electric cattle prod, lol!
As a baby dayz player and now a server owner on a fairly popular server I am so bloody thankful for theese videos Im loving learning the little things that make dayz what it is.
I thought I was going crazy with the water from rainfall thing, like I was sure i'd remembered doing that early on as it was the only safe water source, then when we had played again found out you couldnt do it and made us question ourselves
We need to bring some of the books back to add more life to non-combative aspects of the game! It would be so awesome to find a book in a town and bring it to a secluded campaign spot, and just read. Would really help with the immersion. Also, if there is any performance issue, it could be exclusive to the newer consoles and PC.
I really wish they would add back the improvised bow. I remember my first kill with it at Petrovka from 30 meters away, defiantly my proudest DayZ moment other than building my first base there. Anyone remember those apartments in that city where the only place to find tents?
I remember TH-cam guides about efficiency maximizing strategies to find those, like standing on the roof of opposite side apartments and scanning around with player zoom at certain locations & how the green tents look/what you have to look out for! 😅 I actually never found any back then.
@@TomJakobW I am so glad I never seen those, what a waste of time that sounds like. Yeah they only spawned in those exact apartments in only that city for at least a year.
Hey Rav, I've been a fan since I was a newb - 3,500 in-game hours ago - and I'm *still* learning shit from you. Thanks for your killer content. This is my favorite of all your videos. Lots of great new tips. Laughs to boot; the rat joke and the Bible joke had me rolling. Props, homeboy 👊🏼
At night on Livonia atleast, I've noticed a certain kind of radio tower has a red light at the top. Implying it has power? You can only see it really on a super dark server at night.
Don't know if this is still in the game but there was a zombie that carries a kitchen knife and a piece of uncooked human flesh in his inventory. The zombie had the orange boonie and orang and white striped t-shirt.
7:49 even the DayZ devs made collecting rain water illegal lol I feel like this should be a thing with the buckets and barrels and just leave them outside bases while you travel Players can steal water, but you'll most likely have a decent supply. I feel like this should make a return.. would be cool to spot a base from afar, just because they weren't using a variety of water collectors out of sight.. I mean all you have to do is run into town after spawn and flip a bucket over by the garages and you have a secret water supply away from campers At least have console mods allow more stuff like this it'll be cool
+1 interesting fact. : The map next to the vending machine at 1:38 is the pre-worldwar I. Hungarian Kingdom's map. Although cannot see more details as i cannot read the text from youtube alone. And the two dudes on the picture is not familiar to me either, sadly.
im such an old head that it was less of a surprise in finding out these things exist and more of a surprise in learning that they were changed/no longer spawning
I know Negan had a barbed bat but does no one remember the great Mick Foley?! He was around waaaay before TWD and he rocked the barbed bat like a CHAMP
If youre getting chased by wolves go under/against a pine tree 🌲. The branches with block/stall the wolves. Everytime I use this trick i never get hit, and surrounded by 5 wolves.
Here's one that not alot of people risk to find out. In addition to pavlovo having an air pocket did you know that rift also has one similar to it. It's on top of the main bridge of the ship in the southern half of the ship. You'll see how it pokes out. Pretty sure you need have to climb a ladder to get to it though but the view is beautiful. Freaked my buddy out with it one day when he saw me without my mask. I thought it was common knowledge.
i'm sad there's a video this long about secrets in dayz and it's so well made, but you called north east "krasnostav airstrip" idc what the izruvive maps say. c'mon...
It’s a shame; useless crap like drinking or smoking just for fun in survival games, maybe giving a little screen effect or something, is just always something i really liked. It’s just awesome for immersion or lore building. Sitting there after a tough fight or on a camp fire, smoking a cig, pondering about the world. Isn’t that (the deceleration, the quiet before the storm) the sort of thing that makes dayZ so amazing?
I've actually had elder berries spawn once before. I was in the woods above stary sober tents and I cut down a bush only to have the berries pop up. Console btw
Im sure you still get berries and rose hips although rare AF. About 2 to 3 patches ago i found rose hips around tisy, cant remember exactly where. (Yes vanilla server not modded)
Could you please do a video on warmth/insulation vs waterproofing and getting wet? I don’t know how to survive the rain; if I should wear waterproof clothing that is less insulating or extremely warm clothing that isn’t waterproof.
I have actually found the berries spawning on the map before! Twice actually! Once just north of Severograd and once again on Skalisty! Both on official!
It is silly, though. A torrential downpour is like 2"+ of water in 24 hours. The neck of the bottle would cut this down by 75% easily. So for a whole cycle of constant rain you could expect maybe a half inch of water. One sip. I'm all for buildable rain catches using a tarp and some sticks, but catching water in a bottle alone is cartoonish.
I wish I didn’t let my storage with the Witch hood despawn. It never got wet which was cool. Think it was available the first few days of 1.17. Had them in red and black, idk about other colors.
Started playing on pc after almost 3 years on playstation as its now broken I dont know if i see myself going back to console Its very difficult since my friends are on playstation and i will miss them
@@RavPlays I wanted to say thank you from the team and from myself for your great work and research, we can clearly see how much love you putting inside your videos. Keep it up :)
I know of all of these of course because I've been around since Arma 2 DayZ Mod, but I really wish they would return the removed and "in file" items, I know why the payday mask was removed, but there's absolutely no reason why the rest of everything you mentioned shouldn't be returned, including the cigarettes and cannabis, Australia is pretty silly for trying to ban the game over it, and BI is even more silly for bowing to their outrage and removing it(even though it wasn't even spawning nor did it give "benefits" like Australia claimed). Another thing you missed, well a few off the top of my head, the burlap (and burlap/grass) rifle wraps, as well as the S1023 minivan that used to be drivable in the files and then suddenly removed when they finally returned the V3S (along with removing the minivan wrecks from key locations around Chernarus leaving the broken glass and oil on the streets where they sat). Also..... DayZ devs promised, in writing, that they would add/return ALL items shown on their Trello Board....they still haven't, yet their written promise is still up on their devblog. Their Trello Board hasn't been active, but, it has been updated in late 2019 if I can recall, they were still playing with stuff on it.
Isn't it funny how Australia wants to ban DayZ over cannabis and cigarettes, but cannibalism is all fine. Crafting a backpack with human's intestines is all fine, too. Apparently.
What secret surprised you the most?
That nearly all this stuff is ready to use but they don’t give a s****
The writing on the food had me dying 🤣
all the pics of BI people, I have seen the Billboards, didn't kmow the lore behind them.
Forgot to reply on your comment, but my favorite oddly was the pasta facts. "a flavor you can't refuse" had me rolling got a minute 🤣
the tent backpack would be sweet to still have, i own a couple of those bags from my time in the military. and the food cans really had me cracking up

I remember the gents of novo server, good time!
To make room for other items in the server that people actually need to play the game
@@Quxrk Any given server has thousands of items spawned in at any given time. What's another, say, 60 books?
@@RavPlays ahh hell yeah gents where good. Been a while since I talked to the owner. Still friends though 😁
Bring some of the books back!
101: you always grab the Mosin, even if it's badly damaged

I take it the only current way to collect rain water is by having a barrel open? (you still have to purify it though)

Pc or computer console?
It's actually so cool relearning all the removed items and things that used to happen that I barely understood at the time
At 5:12 it's actually face of Alexandr Pushkin, the famous Russian XIX century poet, drawn by himself
The sword is even on the console version of dayz, with its unique suicide animation. Please add to official bohemia ty 😘
I found one yesterday, it’s absolutely op against zombies. Definitely needs to be added to the official game
I’d forgotten about a lot of the stuff Dayz used to have. Great vid as usual!
Thanks!

There used to be junk items in this game too, you could hang up a string of bottles as a makeshift alarm.
that would be awesome
Don't know if this is still in the game but there was a zombie that carries a kitchen knife and a piece of uncooked human flesh in his inventory. The zombie had the orange boonie and orang and white striped t-shirt.

I never knew about 5:05 but that's based off a real landmark in Dorset, UK called the Cerne Abbas Giant. Pretty cool to see it included
4:58 100% sure that the under barrel launcher would have been for the Groza
The irl version was designed for the M4 but could be attached to any weapon with a similar rail underneath, at least in theory

keep on wringing out your clothes and start fires bro
firefighter clothing or hunter clothing is the best as they provide good insulation and very good absorption meaning they will barely get wet.

I miss not being able to catch water in a bottle, same with the old apple trees too
It is silly, though. A torrential downpour is like 2"+ of water in 24 hours. The neck of the bottle would cut this down by 75% easily. So for a whole cycle of constant rain you could expect maybe a half inch of water. One sip.
I'm all for buildable rain catches using a tarp and some sticks, but catching water in a bottle alone is cartoonish.
