[@CopenorMcbrokeleg]

It's like JLK said in the video while talking with the others. The game is so tryhard and people are playing like total sweatlords. It's really hard to pull this type of thing off in a regular server, it takes a dedicated amount of effort or maybe even a little help from the server's admins and mods to nudge other players to attempt to RP if they even cared. Otherwise find a well moderated RP server.

Words cannot describe how truly spectacular this storyline was. The prologue, introductions, tensions rising, the epic fight all to the shocking climax of it all with a truly gut wrenching backstab, leading to the one last great war to finally become victorious. Even a somber epilogue with one last shock that left me feeling complete with the story with such a fitting end of it all for our protagonist and the city. I know my comment will get lost somewhere throughout the comment section, but JLK, you have absolutely outdone yourself with this video, your hard work and effort truly paid off in the end and kept me hooked for the entire 2+ hours of literal hollywood magic. Even more than hollywood for that matter, as I found myself more enthralled than watching a regular movie.

[@firecat3613]

Before downloading or investing any time or money in a any game, I take the time to watch various videos about a game, to see if I think I may like it or not. For DayZ, I have seen MANY videos. Of all of them, I seem to gravitate towards videos made by JLK. Thank you JLK for making this game fun. Of all the videos I have seen, I have discovered, "Proper base construction," is not the most important thing, if you want to avoid being raided. In another of JLKs videos, he and 2 friends went unraided without actually building a base, via the use of a big truck, as a "mobile base." What I saw in that video leads me to the most important thing I discovered, on how not to NEVER get raided - even if you are poor at base design. You cannot raid a base, if you cannot find the base! Been playing about 18 months. Thanks to JLK - and a few other videos I have seen - I've NEVER been raided. Here's how... Please note, I will not tell you where I locate my bases. It would be just my luck someone on my server is reading this. 1) From the start, your only concern is making money. All goods, gear, weapons, etc., are only what you can carry. 2) Carefully hide a quick storage spot somewhere not far from the merchant. Another emergency storage will be close to where you are working (the reason for this will become obvious soon) NOTE: It is very likely you may end up with several storage locations. 3) Grab everything you can and sell it. Keep only the things you desire. After each sale, visit your storage and "bank" your money. It royally sucks to build up 30K, only to get shot and looted! 4) There is always a fear you will be killed and looted... hence the storage spots. Visit the Merchant often, sell enough to make enough money to get a cheap (covered) vehicle. NOTE: Quads offer no protecting from enemies as you try to drive away. 5) While you have your 1st vehicle, you can now EASILY and QUICKLY explore the map. Please note, the process of acquiring a vehicle can be skipped if you are okay doing it all on foot. But on foot, it can be a royal pain in the back side! You are scouting for unlikely trafficked locations, where you can plant a flag and still never be seen... Even if your enemy is only steps away from your base. These places are hard to find, but they do exist. Unfortunately, the best/safest places are the ones furthest from the action. Please note, what may appear to be an ideal spot, but is routinely patrolled by everyone on the server... that just may be a really bad idea. Then again, it could be a challenge, "How long can I go undetected in the heart of Grand Central Station!?" Yet, travel to remote places offers far more safety and piece of mind... which is another reason for a few different hidden storage chests and the significance of having a vehicle! I have found a couple locations, but my favorite I found by accident. I fell into a hole! After falling into this hole, I discovered I was at least 3 stories down and could not get out. Luckily, I had just enough material to make a few roof tiles. A single wall, add a roof, another roof to that, another to that, etc., and created myself a ramp to get out. No sooner had I escaped, I immediately knew this was the PERFECT base location! Let's just say the top of the flag was well below view. In the last 18 months, I have never been raided. Fair warning: If you even THINK there is even the most remote chance you are being followed/tracked, NEVER go directly back to your base, until you are 100% certain you are free and clear. It's better to get killed and looted with what you have now, than lose everything later. A common mistake most people make is leading enemies right to their base. Or, allowing enemies to know the base's direction. You make a raid and retreat in the same direction every time? Hmm... I wonder which direction your base is located? In a car, you can take off anywhere and circle around later. No one can chase you. Shooting you is very unlikely (as long as you're not just sitting in one spot). I see a number of tree house bases. They are cool. They provide a great ranged defense and allow you to see attacks coming from a long distance. But they are fairly easy to spot at a distance, make for quick offline raids and are too easy to camp when you are home. HOWEVER, if you can find a very dense forest, where tree cover truly does hide your presence, it is worth considering... Just remember, quality is better than quantity when building a tree house. The bigger the three house, the easier it is to spot! Also make sure the tree's foliage FULLY hides your flag. I occasionally do create a tree house base. My flag is fully covered by foliage and a nearby fallen tree (set at about a 45 degree angle) makes for the perfect ramp to get me about 1/2 way up to my tree base. Thanks to this fallen tree, any need for a ladder or stairs is not needed until 1/2 way up. Hence, you could be standing right under that base and - unless you looked up - you would see absolutely no signs anyone or anything have even been there. Underground, under water, trees, buildings, bridges... there are several places you can build and hide a base. I once hid one - as an experiment - in a bell tower! That one has yet to have been found! Use your imagination. Just remember, the key is simple: If you are standing 5 feet away from your base and still cannot see any trace of it, you are doing great! Please forgive the extreme length of this post. I hope I helped someone. Good luck and have fun!

JLK, I come from the Role Play community. I used to roll with all the content guys. I was looking at getting back into DayZ. The TwitchRP community used to run the RedZone DayZ server. It was exactly what you described as community based DayZ. It can work, has worked, and I would be happy to walk your team through that and what we did. It takes DayZ to a whole new level. I only recently found this channel as I was seeing what's new in the game.

[@Mac_Nicholson]

Amazing stuff mate! This could be a AAA Movie, cinematic masterpiece with great twist and turns and a great ending to the story! Keep up the great work!!

[@rockyyoung24]

Excellent movie bro! Best Ive seen yet and it was good to see Tommy, Glaz and Red Tie among others joining up. Makes for an epic movie!

[@wildcoyot3768]

Jlk, you got me into dayz a few years ago, and after years and 2500 hours on console. I finally have pc, hope i get to see you out there someday, even if its just to kill you for the loot😂 much love brother, from a long time fan

[@jaketaylordj]

Mate, this video couldn't have dropped at a better time. Struggling mentally today and your content always lifts me! Cheers for all the amazing stories, best DayZ content on youtube! Big love Josh

Your knack for storytelling with captivating gameplay is elite tier. I was engaged in the story the whole 2+ hours and enjoyed every minute of it. Amazing work. Can't wait to see the next adventure .

[@amhbition5073]

Its 1:30 am right now in South Africa... I got work in the next few hours but i couldnt stop watching... What a masterpiece JLK!... WOW!

[@fuccshitlifemedia.8044]

You also play DayZ ?

[@MisfitOff-Road]

This was a masterpiece. The story, the drama. This was the best one by far. I’m a fan for life.

[@hakumiya8590]

What a crazy adventure… waited for your video to come up and now I finally saw it. You put together so many people and in my opinion, you brought back „the old feeling“ of DayZ, where you login to play with your friends and even make new ones during your adventure. Thank you so much for this video, can’t wait for next one❤️

[@survivor47]

I normally stay away from servers with maps, player markers, stamina, or any game changing mods. However, this was amazing. This would be a BEAST to do on pure vanilla and IMPOSSIBLE to do on official. I think this should be in the DayZ Hall Of Fame 100%. Well done 👍🏽

[@Momsbreadpie]

It's so modded its not even dayz

[@ClanHawkins]

Well made and thanks for the adventure!🍾

[@Elementl19]

This is the kind of community and teamwork that's so unique to Dayz and I absolutely love it!! Great job bringing so many people together to create such an awesome community and compound and epic story movie!

[@SmokeyTheBear00]

I'll say it again, JLK has some of the best aim there is compared to other dayz creators. He starts kinda off but once he's warmed up dude just snaps on targets like it's nothing

[@MightySifton]

That "Get FUCKED" at 1:43:13! The grit of the fight, love it! Watched the whole thing, guys what a story! Fantastic revelation at the end. This is why I play DayZ

[@motormav7620]

I never really comment on your videos but this production was better than some modern movies. This is by far your best project and words cannot describe how good this video was. The storyline, the storyTELLING, the effort, editing, everything about this video is practically perfection. Thank you for creating this absolute masterpiece. One thumbs up is not enough.

[@JLKgg]

Wow, thank you bro 😎

[@VikingerOnYT]

Dude, I've never played DayZ myself, but this is so cool man!

[@Vergil-In-The-Verse]

Man this is one of the best episodes I’ve seen on KZbin. I absolutely love Dayz and been playing for 6 years now and always wanted this type of game play. It was super awesome to watch and hope to see you in game one time. Cheers

[@hasanrizvi2047]

never played the game but i've been a casual viewer of this channel for almost 4+ years now. you have a special ability to craft video game narratives and i really hope you use that for even bigger projects in the future, this is only the tip of the iceberg. keep going, love your work!

[@RamFraming]

Just watched the entirety of this. Absolutely amazing video. You are one of a kind. I just can't get over how good this was. Hats off to you. Thank you so much for an awesome movie.

[@ashutoshsrivastava1218]

This is an absolute masterpiece, man! I love it-it's out of this world. It felt like playing a game yet so real, like living real life while watching a movie at the same time. No way, man, this is hands down the best video ever!

Mate… wow what an experience it was to be apart of the city. Only hearing from small conversations about what you boys went through before we arrived and finally seeing the full thing unfold and to hear that it wasn’t polish who hit you was a shock for sure! Great to see your back in action making movies again and keep up the GOOD WORK 🩵 We look forward to the future and I cannot WAIT for the next event 👋

2:05:46 I’m hyped lol. Broke my leg about 2 weeks ago (healing great, really lucky) and am running out of things to watch/do DayZ Xbox, Sea of Thieves again lately. Our big base got raided by swimmers so iffy about building back up with the boys. Always love making city type bases like this. But usually all free standing/ with a yellow 2story and a car shed.. this is sick though. ONE THING I would have loved to see more of is cars, more driving. You had epic potential for a few car convoy that would have looked sick. Love it brother good watch. I’ll check out some of your other videos lol

[@magobilk]

KZbin was made for content like this! insane. 11/10.

That GL that took out 12 people at the end was me hahaha, I logged on in the forest and went back to base to get a car for a friend who was at spawn. Heard a thousand saws going off and my heart was racing

lol you fucker😂 I was like what the hell just happened 😂😂

[@kravan5063]

@@TheCrazyjay13 I wasn't inside the base, none of my team where in the base. I logged out the night before in the forest outside and just got on. I was going back to base to get a car to pick up my only other teammate who logged off as a freshy at spawn. As I got back to the base I heard all the raidsaws

[@kravan5063]

@@VinnytheRatt Think of it from my pov, I'm the only guy on my team who is even geared because the other 2 guys logged off after they died so they're fresh the night before. There is no one in the base logged on or off. It's just me, I GL into the courtyard and check my kills. I went from 0 to 12. I was freaking off bro hahaha The guy who killed me annoyed me, I heard him coming and pre-aimed him coming around the corner, but typical dayz desync occured and I died to the guy i just lit up I was shaking ha

[@cameronchang2718]

What a masterpiece of a movie you have made. i have never been so captivated and intrigued in a gaming movie before. this is on a whole other level. well done to you and the city forces. 20/10. i have never played dayz but have recently started watching alot of content on it, after watching this it has given me a real bug to get into this game. well done again mate.
