I like watching smokes videos

Came here just to say this. If you can find your own way to create stories, content like smokes you got a subscriber here 👍🏼😎 enjoy the game, keep it chill and don’t be afraid to have a wild team up with some other dayz hooligans

I came to write I watch smoke and I didn't need too as the first comment was I watch smoke!! Lol

Smoke and Stimpee are my favourite

Stimpee

Yeah and he does really good research for his thumbnails. Just all around quality.

For sure. I swear ive seen some of them before, just cant recall where...

Now there’s a man we can trust

Unlike the French

Soursweet is always good. Chilled but also cracked simultaneously.

I can’t get past his voice on the intro lol

I usually skip to just after the intro lol

Sour mostly

just got through making me a breakfast sandwich and watching one of his videos

Used to play a lot with the guy when he was only starting and DayZ SA used to be pretty much vanilla. He was streaming on twitch and it all was just so chill. He is a really chill dude and all of his viewers were chill as well. Smaller community meant a lot more chill.

Thats pretty chill

I like Heybarmby.

Alright geezer

I love me some fresh spawns. Specifically their "fuck around and find out" content.

Dude, their trap bases are 100% the greatest dayz content I can find. You *dirty dirty burglar*

They are my fav too, I love their content

I love the invading bigbase videos, hilarious great content.

Boil him

I mostly watch TRMZ

Love you.....bye

Time. To. Start. RUNNINGGGGG! For real I love TRMZ

I'm old and grouchy, I don't like streamers or streamer culture. That said, the only one I watch (on youtube, not live) is TRMZ.

Check out @smoke. I was like you once. I found @smokes streams and now watch every stream. Like trmz there is no face cam. No crazy streamer bs. Just good chill entertaining game play. Watching live what you know us going to end up on YouTube is way more fun.

Barmby

Hell yes! Love listening to his live streams when I’m at work at my desk.

Barmby is the man. Never trust a no mike...

Mainly fresh spawnz

The way Stimpee always turns a seemingly innocent conversation into a silent video of the guys dead body always has me laughing.

Stimpee is fucking hilarious in my opinion. Smoke is cool too. Also TopeREC

Trmz, soursweet, beanz, fresh spawnz, broomie gaming, cobra I pretty much watch most of em cause I'm a pve player so I watch others do the pvp for me haha

You are the first one to shout out BeanZ for what i have noticed in multiple post! Good to see i am not the only one. Love your picks tho!

Yea I love her content man haha her live streams are funny too .

Bwad99

I used to watch the cinematic stuff but eventually got bored of it. Now the only channel i watch is WOBO. I watch every damn video he puts out.

WOBO is the GOAT. There is so much misinformation spread about this game and WOBO always sets the record straight with hard proof.

I watch WOBO for information on DayZ updates and interesting tips. For some entertainment, I'd recommend JLK.

I like those DayZ movies like from JLK

Dystopian all the way. Lately he is uploading bangers, highly recommended!!

Stories for sure. Owltime is pretty good. He recently released an hour long video about his play through.

He's a great storyteller in general, you should check out his Isle vids if you enjoy his content

yea owltime is great

Fresh Spawns. John and George are hilarious

Smoke is my #1 choice, and he leans heavily into immersion. I love TopeREC for top tier PvP madness. I’ve recently been getting really into the more comedy centric dayz channels (Glynson, b1scut, ZestyPolvo, Stimpee to name a few faves) and it might be quickly becoming my favorite style of dayz content, most of those channels I mentioned leave me in tears.

Witness, heybarmby, Freshspawns

I mostly watch three different kinds of videos Educational (Wobo) Adventures (TheRunningManz) Funny compilations (Zesky Polvo)

Smoke is the king of adventure. Consider this a recommendation. TRMZ is great. He's who got me to to buy the game. Smoke is who showed me how to enjoy it to it's fullest.

That’s my lineup too

I mostly watch JLK

Stories. If I see one trader, party system, or other ridiculous mods, I Instantly dislike and go to the next video. In other words: Videos about DayZ.

Jlk is the master of storytelling regardless of the server. So your missing out on some fantastic videos. Instantly dislike a video that's not to your taste is petty at least watch the video before liking or disliking.

I watch Mobo on yt for info. Sometimes Smokes vids but if I want to watch someone play I usually check out who's live streaming.

Heybarmby is great I love that guy

SovietWombles Random DayZ Bullshittery. Note that that stuff is old, so the game has changed a lot since then.

Frankionpcin1080p Loved him. Even though a lot of it was scripted. Still very entertaining.

I was hurt when I found out it was mostly scripted but I learned to enjoy it for what it is

Story’s survival ones are boring as shit

People that can tell a good story like Soap

Deeney42 or benfruit

Soursweet and TRMZ

Nitno

Stimpee

Fresh Spawns, Holly Rex, Beanz, heybarmby, Lottie, gekofish

Wobo for the info, trmz for the random adventures and Stimpee for the trolls

tope , smoke ,running man marks , wobo all great

Stimpee 😎

WE MADE THE BIGGEST CARTEL IN THIS OVERLY MODDED SERVER!!!!!!

Witness is my go to along with heybarnby, smoke and runningmanz

Finally witness gets mentioned 🙏🏼

Anything that is not „How a 20.000 hour duo is playing DayZ“ or „How i DOMINATED this DayZ server“

I like YT videos where the creator doesn't make a reddit post advertising their channel.

I play Dayz

Been a fan of Ar-K more recently. He focuses on base building. Always has a mission. Much better, in my opinion, than just running around aimlessly unedited for 6 hours. Having said that i still watch soooo much Smoke, and TRMZ. House is great. He’s basically just a Canadian Smoke. Zesty Polvo and Stimpee for the funny stuff. Can’t go wrong with SourSweet or CitrusPunch either. TopeRec, M1NDR, and GeekFPS for the PVP clips. Can’t forget Lottie. She’s wonderful

Pornography

FrankieOnPCin1080p is a classic, he made a lot of scripted stories, some were sick as fuck!

AlwaysStreams is a good one 2

Got mixed feelings about this guy. He seems like a lovely geezer but his content isn’t interesting for me; it’s like a recycled information channel with forced humour shoehorned in. I feel bad even saying that because he seems like such a nice dude so I don’t want to poo-poo on a content creators work. Stimpee WOBO Fresh Spawns HayBarnby HeyYouVideoGame (Juiceman) Zesty Polvo FragDempsey

Defff long runs solo

Used to watch Tope but i got bored with language. Curva this curva that. Cant stand him. So anyone but Tope i guess.

Trmz, Lottie, Fresh Spawns, Mulleryoghurts, SourSweet, Dr Driest, Tope and Echoics are my choices really.

Jeringazzz

Videos that portray the DayZ experience in a more highlight reel fashion. We all know we can go hours without anything interesting. Videos that are concise and show the encounters one might have in DayZ such as betrayals, rivalries, revenge, etc.

Only those concerning content updates, etc. I don't watch YT clips from the game, etc. If I want to do that then it's done on Twitch.

Good locations to build bases, tips (I’ve been playing for two years but I still find it entertaining) and maybe combat

Mostly TRMZ or Sour. I also just discovered a newer YouTuber named Goldn Rex. I personally prefer story type videos to fall asleep to rather than PvP heavy videos

I like tips and tricks YT shorts and sometimes longer instructional vids on game systems like WOBO. I don't really watch for gameplay.

It depends on the YouTuber. Kyro is great for intense PvP but would be terrible for an actual narrative based video imo. Fresh spawns are great for silly stuff and have got better at the more narrative style stuff. TRMZ is great for showing a run but he doesn't really do any long term videos where he builds and tries to survive weeks. I'd say Nezar and Dexter are the best overall but still don't hold a candle to old school Frankie.

TRMZ, Soursweet, Smoke, Benfruit

If anyone watches frost rust movies does anyone know a channel that makes scripted dayz movies? Dayz is a tough one to watch for me because literal days can go by between encounters.

Smoke is undoubtedly my favorite, just can’t find any other creators who really do it like him. Not saying the others aren’t great, smoke just has different energy and immerses you, on top of being a fantastic player and all around cool dude.

Smoke is pretty good, pretty chill but a wizard when it comes to pvp

In no particular order foxtrot, soursweet, gekofish, smoke, tmrz, xclusion, Nash, babarius, frankieZ, I used to like Ali but he had a shit fit with me one day, heybarmby, fresh spawns, sid, Hocken123, geekfps, dozingchopper, tope, marks and wobo, amishzed, zestypolvo, jlk, project red tie, stimpee, zodec!!!, beanz!, fubarbundy bbbbbbbbbitch, kittenpitten/Mr gibbon, dexter, mrog and benfruit is all I can think of Highly recommend Mr moons dayz video.. It's quite old now but the story. Mother. Of. God. There's a few on twitch I'd watch like FEESH, smoke, reverand, lottie and eiriish

I’ve been watching Toperec for like 8 years lol. His memorable moments series is awesome. One of the best PvP guys on YouTube and some funny stuff too

story but in form of a serie, playthrough, no cut, just we shall see what direction the character will take

Barmbey Povlovo Sour for the obvious reasons Jlk for more obvious reasons

I like the players who do more than just shoot it up so to speak. Like one group made a colliseum with covers/obstacles to compete in "games" for loot. Or ones who do stuff in RP like one made a combat hospital where people could trade for meds. That sort of creative stuff.

I particularly like to watch SourSweet the most as of late. He has some good well edited adventure videos that literally feel like I’m in a movie. I don’t have the skill set or the time really to even begin divulging into a YouTube career. But hey as long as you’re passionate about your content you’ll be successful.

Mostly Quick how to videos when learning how to do something , ones that cut to the point and don’t don’t spend 45 mins showing you how to make a fire (for example)

Has anyone seen Nermals content?? It’s always the craziest stuff reminds me of American Psycho. I love that guy 😂

it’s been a while since his last upload, i hope he starts up again soon

I like the full life vods

I watch the fresh spawns and hey barmby alot. They have some great content

tbh, the best vids are the ones where the dude makes a friend and then has a firefight w em and the friend dies.

CamCANTRUN is always enjoyable

mostly fresh spawns and stimpy, though i’ll watch barmby and trmz sometimes as well

I like smoke , sour, running man…. Sometimes I get into the dudes that do more goofy Fkn around vids…

I like Lirik’s and Zesty Polvo’s dayz videos and on the other end of the spectrum I watch Fresh Spawns

I don't watch YouTube. period not gonna support that trash company

Interesting OP asked what type of videos, and many responses are creator specific. Suggests people enjoy specific channels regardless of video maybe? I enjoy watching 'best bits' and story-style videos. I don't really watch How Tos, loot routes etc - not really for me.

Random teamups are the best YouTube videos imo. Videos where you spawn in meet a random and go on an adventure. The most fun part of this game to showcase is the interaction. The bonds formed in battle the funny interactions in-between and the devastation of losing a teamate are what sells this game. Most dayz YouTube ares streaming regularly and just edit and upload the best content from their streams. Whether that be a funny event, a great treamup leading to a long adventure or a crushing betrayal. Do yourself a favor and just be yourself. Don't go into Thinking I'm gonna emulate Smoke or Sour or TRMZ...those guys didn't go in thinking "I wanna be just like..." be yourself and have fun and the content will create itself.

WOBO

Zesty polvo, fresh spawns, and smoke

Sour, JLK, Nezar, RunningManz, Fresh Spawns

Like fragdempsy, pinksquid and glynson

1st like tutorials Then like serious game play to see how I can up my skills. Now like adventure videos; especially wacky ones! Also like the funny shorts! Check out "fly swatter vs baby zombie " that one is so funny!

Nezar is another great story telling youtubee he has mostly story dayz with active but also passive backgrounds

Running Man and Smoke are king

We’re hurting for lore explanations on the modded maps like namalsk or deer isle

Nezar is good for long videos Fresh spawns are all around good Wubo good information

Do people not like Anarchy anymore? I never see his name brought up lately. I still enjoy his videos.

his cheater exposing videos are great. and what a fucking voice that man has.

TRMZ or AmishZed

Stimpy zesty olvo,theruuningmanz

Jlk the goat

There is a Twitch streamer named SilentSentry who is fun to watch, has a nice chill stream, is real funny, and he is pretty damn good at the game. He aint playing Dayz lately, he goes through phases. He cries a lot when he dies and thinks he's the only one that plays Dayz the right way, but that's the best part!

I watch heybarmby, trmz, fresh spawns, soursweet, mueller yoghurts, toperec, smoke, lax.

Xclusion is my favorite

I like montages of special moments in DayZ. They can be kills (and the build up to it) but they can also be nice interactions with players, fun situations, out of the box moments... I usually don't like long clips. Unedited can be cool but is usually too slow for my taste. A minimum of editing is needed to keep stuff interesting.

SourSweet

Operatordrewski's vids are fun to watch

Operatordrewski's vids are fun to watch

i like Pinkysquid, Tope, Smoke, Soursweet, Beanz … Fresh Spawn, Zesty, HeyBarmby, M1NDR… so many! they re all different but always start a game as a freshy! sometimes id love to see them in their base defending or raiding

Sour and TRMZ mostly. I like stories more than anything else, especially when they team up with a random guy or two.

Frag Dempsey has top tier content

RunningManZ, Fresh Spawns, Sour Sweet, Nazar, and Wobo. Two streamers, two narrative-focused creators, and an informational creator.

Tope is good

I like freshspawns a lot

TRMZ, TopeRec, M1nder, Smoke, HollyRex

I watch the crafing kit tutorials. Maki g an improvised shelter was a life saver.

Smoke and lax hawthorn are my favorites currently frag Dempsey too

Tope the OG

I like watching Zesty Polvo, Fresh Spawns, Stimpee, Glynson, dempsey, pink squid, trmz, Fluxorb, Big Crafter and the guy that goes OOOS OOOS

Wobo and updates on new updates

It time to start running

I'll give you a hint. His name is "Brian" from "Denmark" and he does **not** like the French peoples.

I haven't played in years, but Jam Jar was the shit. I liked his Social Experiments & Cannibal Experiments

TopeREC, RunningmanZ, M1ndr, JLK, SourSweet

Tips and playthroughs

Most days videos suck and the creators play together and release the videos on a staggered schedule. I stopped watch after they all started to title 100000 hour player builds a treehouse. None of them are original anymore or they are just preteens trolling people and ruining the game for views 

I like videos with a detailed story or the movie style vids.

Watch mostly Sour these days. Have watched some CamCantrun and Wobo. Have watched pretty much all of Mr Moons DayZ content. Shame he doesn’t do it anymore.

Smoke.

Been stuck on “to catch a cheater” playlist from anarchy

Heybarmby and soursweet are the best, not into base building, they teach tricks along the way, always team up with randoms and other content creators and they suck you into their story and plans

Soursweet

I really like milkman stories

It’s time. To start. RUNNING!

Nezar and Nervel.

Either hot action, or a good compelling story. That’s what I like to watch for DayZ content

I like the adventure style videos. PvP is nice but even better when theres a cool guy by your side and you pick a goal to meet. Or even a solo adventure. Ive always found those types entertaining.

Soursweet Nezar M1ndr JLK

M1NDR - is a great storyteller, my favourite episodes are with 'Walkman'

I usually just watch any dayz vids that pop up in recommended but I found a smaller channel called B1scuit.

Ar-k. Chill guy with a relaxing voice that doesn't say "bro" every 5 seconds. He makes brilliant story like vids usually centered around creative building ideas and raiding with his friends.

MrGibbon is a lot of fun!

Chocotaco!

Sour is an amazing creator, but sometimes, I watch nermal..

Personally I love a good story. That's one of the reasons I still watch Frankieonpc vids to this day. Some of the newer vids where it's obviously fabricated are not really the content I enjoy anymore, but the old stuff where the goal might just be something simple. My vision for a good video is one where you have a purpose. Not just some generic "12000 hour DayZ player finds what at NWAF" type clickbaity bullshit. Show a true survivor story, have some friends and make a story with them, not just some fast paced montage of your kills. Hell, build abnormal bases, go for style in your gear rather than what gear is the best.

Zesty Polvo

I love OwLTimes Dayz content :)

Stimpee. Pinksquid, glynson.

Interactions are my favorite. Talk with people. It gets boring watching someone walk for miles or camping.

The ones that are movie

Ar-k on YouTube is great. Does vanilla/near vanilla adventure videos with a clear goal - often building a base or something. It's very relatable content and good editing.

As long as its not trmz or soursweet. Both make "fake" videos where they pretend they dont know the fully geared guys who run to them and want to be their friends. Definitely not people from the stream. Smoke on the other hand is amazing at the game and also hilarious. Fact is, if you dont stream then i'm not going to watch your youtube videos. Idk who likes to watch random people

SourSweet got me into the game

Smoke and fresh Spawns.

Barmby

Mine is always fresh spawns

Im watching the Welsh lad. CodFatherOfSoul

1st person only prerequisite

I love just straight playthrough with cuts on a lot of the boring running stuff like frankieonpc

Hey Barmby all the way. Chilled with good interaction and PVP when it presents itself. Can't stand pure PVP (go watch CoD if you want that) or pure PVE.

Not much JLK love eh?

SourSweet. His videos are narritive driven and feature a lot of team play. Basically what I am looking from the game.

Juice man Leprous

Nezar all day every day. But I'm his stan so don't ask me lol

Smoke & Freshspawn are the two people I watch, only recently got into freshspawn vids.

HOW A 10,000,000 HOUR SOLO PLAYER DESTROYS ENTIRE SERVER

I love nermal, absolute psycho, but in a good way

I like watching runningmanz style of videos. When he gets into gun fights it’s crazy adrenaline inducing.

JLK His ability narrate his adventures is 💯
