So after going pro at dodging stream-sniping hackers, I have accomplished the World Record I set out to achieve:

[image loading]

I was so paranoid during the last hour I kept switching servers and restarting the stream every time I got more than 2 viewers LOL.


So where do I go from here?
This is just the beginning my friends.


Here again is the last recording of the DayZ leaderboard before the game got so popular the public boards became overloaded and had to be shutdown:

http://www.tacticaladvance.co.uk/dayz-leaderboard-190612/


As you can see the last world record holder died months ago. But that doesn't mean one of those survivors who was still alive at 70 hours in June didn't live another 100 hours over the last two months.

Although they have no way of proving how many hours they played or that their character hasn't died since then, I still want to be on much more solid footing before I start making too much noise about this feat.

Therefore, I have decided to keep everything let's say "in the family." Until I hit 200+ hours, I am still going to be incognito; only documenting my progress here on TL.

Feel free to ask any questions below. I know some people might wonder how I can prove I was on the public servers the whole time and not a private one. Well for starters, Battleeye only operates on "HIVE" servers so I think the 1000+ BE messages that have shown up on my screen over the past 115 hours is proof enough.

Here is my VOD archive that meticulously documents all 115 hours:

I plan on turning it into a time lapse video eventually.

But please, don't hold back... Now that I am in unexplored territory, I want to make sure my claim to the record is as strong as possible

P.S. Two more screenshot at 115 hours and 40+ minutes just to prove I lived past the final leaderboard score :D

Hunted with a hatchet, filled my water bottles from ponds and ran around the edges of the map so as not to be near other survivors. It will all be clear in the time lapse video.

I guess that's surviving, but you're not really "playing" the game. That actually sounds very boring, especially for 115 hours.

What made you want to do this?

I used to play thousands of hours of infinity mode in Dead Rising, which is one of my favorite games of all time. I was top ranked on Xbox Live, for staying alive more hours than anyone else.

As soon as I saw the DayZ leaderboard for hours survived, I knew the record had had to be mine!


...

And if you think this is boring, you have no idea the intensity and heart rate I feel every time I come into even minor contact with another player -- not to mention the 20+ times I have been teleported/spawned on the coast after safely logging out in a forest.

congratulation but watching your stream is boring ^^ Maybe you should only stream when you go somewhere to hunt or getting water.

When Destiny meets unknown players, he just says ' We're cool, we're cool ' and they don't fuck with him. I don't really understand your approach of playing the game. But whatever suits you best, I guess.

Congratz on the world record!

No no, the whole point of the stream is not to entertain the viewers, it's to document my progress. Eventually I want to turn it into a time lapse video which I think will turn out pretty cool.
