When I like to not deal with people at times i would just farm for certain items in the game, that were new or change my outfit, run around with a 22 ect, get mp parts for m4 or lps for mosin . If i didnt want to do the help fresh spawn thing. Now ive seen all the gear and kinda want to go help fresh spawns and pvp but try to get into it with the griefers . BUt i would watch from a distance or go into town and hold up somewhere and check things out, i wouldnt try to really run around and be noticed lol. So thats the next step i guess lol. Till they add hunting ect the lone survival gets boring after a certain point. Then shooting and people interaction is what id go for next lol I was also considering joining a clan i think a clan would add a lot more to the game. They take new players so thats fine for u. Your comp is fine. It would add more of the social side of the game i think if you join one of those clans that goes and helps new spawns. That would be fun. or get into tactical stuff You could look into getting arma 2..i think on steam its pretty cheap, arma 3 is still like $60 lol so thats w/e, i really like it but you can play with arma 2 and play dayz mod and all the other dayz mods or wasteland and help with your standalone shooting skills and controls and get use to the map. arma 2 wasteland was really fun and it helped me to learn to pvp and navigate the map. It helped when i got back into dayz

H1z1 is a joke and all its going to do is flop. I hope so cause that main guy looks like a f**king swindler! lol...omg dayz sold x amount and made x amount...i want on that money train.... i can alreadyt see it.... free to play where all the douchebags will congregate...you think dayz is bad...just wait for that game I dont mind waiting for this game(dayz).

i found a pair of red with a yellow stripe track pants in those long farm building thingys that look like its a horse stable . But i didnt wear them. Im sure there are more colors. Any industrial spawn(sheds,garages,farm buidlings, industrial 3 story buildings, those sheds with 2 rooms) but im also sure they might spawn in houses also since ive seen other clothing in there aswell.

see if you can run the arma 2 operation arrowhead demo on steam. I think if you can run that, then you should be able to run dayz mod since its just arma 2 stuff.

it took me a bit to get head shots down with the axe, but now i can get them down fast. When they run at me i just side step at the last sec and aim for the head and lead them and bang down,if i miss then i run in circles and get close, lead and aim for the head works eventually lol. but ya i undestand they are annoying till you get the right method to take them down. After that its not bad. also notice when you swing the axe cause it doesnt hit on the dot, then compensate for each hit. I think each weapons hit spot is a little different.

it would be nice for side chat. But id like it if it was typing only and you couldnt talk over side chat with a mic, just type. Would be cool if you found the walkie talkie that you would then enable side chat, then who ever had the talkies could type...like texting lol. I do want that back in a way. but i dont want it to where you can talk. I hate hearing talking since for a second i think its someone close to me talking in direct chat.lol, scares the shit out of me for a sec lol I understand why they wouldnt put it in since i dont think you could communicate with people without using a walkie talkie and the other player having them too. But running solo gets boring and side chat and typing makes it a little better. If your the type of person who likes using it, or if you dont want it you could disable it. I do miss creepy music and side chat...to at least say whats up to people without having to find them, but i understand if it doesnt get in game...at least on some servers on the mod and typing gave a little more life to the game socially...and thats what i feel it lacks atm, and also you can build up a relation on the server your on, so the regulars know whos is cool and who is a douche i guess it has its pros and cons

i wouldve done the same thing. If everyone was all geared then it would be another story, but it sounds like you only had a decent gun. so a 1v6 is never fun. Even if those dudes u were with had pistols.. At that range it doesnt matter. They had the advantage with the mosins at range. Seeing is that you gave them good advice and they didnt take it, then i wouldve left and let them learn their lesson. Its good to help people but its not good to get into firefights without some type of rifle. also i wouldnt have been with them that long. When i encounter players. Ill just talk for a sec or 2 then say bye and run off.(if i dont get shot at) I wont group with randoms at all. Ill help them but not group. Maybe when we get all get persistant items then ill try to find the regulars on the server and be cool with them. When you find that 1 server to make a camp. Would be cool then to make friends in your adventures. Till then i just avoid people lol

i just want audio playing in the game, like it was on the mod. A little scary music adds a lot. Thats one big thing i miss

I was wondering why also... Id hope BI would use arma 3 engine for dayz. or some parts of it, I love the character animations for shooting positions and movement. As well as other stuff. I think it would spice dayz up a lot... its BI new engine so i wouldnt see why they wouldnt use it for another title they are doing. Show off that engine and what it can be used for. Then use something different that doesnt give the same results as the new engine and new game they are doing(arma 3) maybe if dayz had the arma 3 engine at the time when they were releasing arma 3, that a lof of players wouldnt have bought arma 3. Since dayz increased arma 2 sales. That maybe people would make arma 3 dayz mod and bring dayz players to buy arma 3 to play a dayz mod on that. lol just some ideas lol

i think with the new loot respawns that those fresh spawn areas wwouldnt be so dead with loot?. But its easy to gear up if your competent. Do you think the new spawns create a different flow to the map.?

at least when i get zombie aggro and aggro a pack of 5 then respawns happen around me then the 5 turns into 12....that is fun vs, running into the occasional zombie or not running into any at all. sure they are a work in progress. But stop crying about pathing...dont be dumb and stay inside if you get aggro, just run out and have more room and kill them with an axe then go back into the house....i think its more of a lack of competence then the zombies actually being extremely unplayable imo. sure it has it moments of wtf! but its alpha so deal with it till they fix it.

are they suppose to be adding in a prison or something? where would that go. I think the map should be increased in size....seeing how big altis is in arma 3. im not saying that big, but that would be cool. But at least increase it a little and just add more forest north and west for a few kilometers? you can run anywhere on foot easy. Cars idk if that would make it feel to small as far as trying to hide it out in the middle of nowhere. More forest would be better considering their new hunting they are doing. Make more areas west and north that are just forests where you can hunt rare animals, like... bears....rhinos...lol but for real they need to do something more for the standalone. Cant be that hard to increase the map size and add trees. they got like 60mil from people at the least they can do is hire a couple people for $40hr to do this rofl, im just saying...:)

we need more stances for sure! Face it this isnt arma 2 anymore. Remember these combat control are based off that. and dayz was a mod from arma 2. With this new game they should utilize new stuff to make a more dynamic playing experience. If you played arma 3 then you wouldnt argue about stances. if you have played arma 3 you would know what i mean. It is really fun and effective in combat. Also giving the player more options and a more enjoyable experience.

would be dope to have one of these

find a zombie if your close to any buildings, should be some...or crawl back up to the rock again and roll off and see if it kills you,

I think this is how some new players to the game become after they get kos by someone with their 1st few character lives. They most likely tried to be cool with someone in the beginning. Then got killed by them. Then besides still playing as a helpful person. They now think they need to kos since they got kos. I think this is the majority of new players to the game that didnt play the mod. Then you have people who are genuinely a hero type or people who are bandits. I think real bandits wouldnt have waited that long. You wouldve died a lot faster. THen that leads me to believe it was more of a new person(s) to the game that are still trying to figure people out. or people are just bored right now.. Ya i try to be like batman when playing this game, works out better being batman. DO work and be cool. Endgame their should be a being like batman achievement on steam if you help people and merc bandits lol....fun times

I love zombies and the whole survival aspect of the game. When i 1st seem gameplay of the mod(on arma 2), i was immediately hooked without even playing it yet lol Its really a heart pumping experience at times. Thats the main thing i really enjoy it. No other game does that for me. This game has a huge risk/reward system without putting an actual system in. Its just the nature of the game. Go to a high value place and risk encounters or play it safe and loot other stuff, or try to find a player to kill. I think its up to the person to make different experiences for themselves. Ive seen some hilarious stuff in the mod,wasteland and SA, by people getting a little creative lol....let those imaginations roll fellas I havent played a game quite like this before. this to me is a more realistic zombie game. With the entire experience of a huge map that you can travel around, with a lot of towns and people who you cant trust. Having to navigate and then take care of the character.....just to die to a bug or a little kid....fun times. Times i like to be solo and do the whole survival part and get out, or hang around as a fresh spawn just to see wtf will happen to me or someone else.....like a social experiment lol

with the mod youll have more zombie spawns in towns and can stealth if you want to avoid aggro. they also path right so they wont run through walls. PLaying the mod will get you farmiliar with the map and also the controls. THe inventory system is different in the mod, But youll figure it out. Its not that bad lol, the standalone is just layed out better. The mod has a bunch of different types of mods and maps. Some you can build bases like on dayz epoch. Also since you bought arma 2 looking playing on wasteland servers. That is another really fun mod for arma. it will also help you learn the map as well as learning the controls to be better in combat. heres a map of how the mod was http://dayzdb.com/map/chernarus#2.076.068 and heres a map of the standalone map http://dayzdb.com/map

playing with a controller would be dumb...well for me at least....mouse and keyboard all day son!

All the issues will be fixed at some point with the zombies. But when that happens. if your dumb enough to run upstairs with a ton of zombie aggro and trap yourself in a room with no weapons, then you sir deserve to die. zombies are and will always be easy mode.. I like to box them lol makes me lol

look at this map, it helps http://dayzdb.com/map/chernarusplus ive been using it since the mod. Its a good loot map. To learn the layout of things when your 1st starting, then you get an idea of what buidling have what in them. So it makes it easier to learn, what buildings are better then others. THen youll figure it out and be able to navigate around without using it. It takes sometime when your new to learn the layout of the map and navigating.Then youll learn loot routes and how to gear up faster. I like to plan out routes. and get an idea of what loot spawns where. SO i can go in and loot fast. I dont like to stick around places unless im looking for people(Lately ive been seeing people 1st and then usually just evade, i find that part fun also) I just cant trust people. If i get the drop on them i can decide what to do, where as if i get sighted, its usually kos, so when you get unlucky is when you die. If you get the drop on someone, its kinda hard because each situtation can be different. . I always have my head on a swivel. Stay in cover.Dont be in a rush if your geared out, waiting game is good sometimes. I like to look for open doors. If its open chances are that someone has been around is is around. Listen for footsteps, youll figure out zombies vs player foot steps.. I really only hit up certain places in towns real fast. I learned wht buildings are better then other with loots spawns. A place to get food fast or w/e you need. Servers are hit and miss on loots. I just use certain servers and when i play they usually have loot. You can look in your history for the servers that end up being good. I just think depending on the reset. some servers are low loot and others are fast restarts for loot farming. Just have to server shop and find the ones you like.

id hope with the cars you could use spray cans on them to change the color or put a camo pattern on them, Could take 20x cans to do a vehicle or something, but im sure that might be something theyll eventually put in, you can pant guns and stuff why not cars But i think this thing would be awesome, its a Lada Niva i guess, would stick to the map theme.

A mac 10 would be dope

They should make items like different animal calls , and that could be the only way to get animals to come in close enough to shoot. OR if you do a call a pack of wolves will come after you lol idk but an idea to add. THat would be cool I like the bullet damage idea. Depending on the shot placement youll get more or less meat. But it needs to be a little challanging on certain animals.

i dont think they will put that in, I can already see all the noobs sprinting around and trying to shoot people i would rather see different shooting positions like in arma 3. That would be fun.
