Disclaimer: I run an Epoch server. ^

In my opinion I think they should add a whole Epoch deal. Epoch is / was a big hit, and they should currency like what they use in Russia, Ruble. I don't know. They might already be adding it. Anyone's opinion?

^ Yeap. And btw, I love that game in your status. I have like 30 floors.

Look for the general east-coast or west-coast servers, not specific states. I have found that almost every single one of them are daylight. Look for general areas in the server name not specific states or places. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

Thanks guys so much. Really.

Please don't judge, and don't critique too hard. I'm just here to help, not to ruin. This is a guide for the newest people to the game. This tutorial will just be a short tutorial, and a short guide to your first day in DayZ. I won't tell you everything, but I will get you started. First things first, when you spawn take a look at your surroundings. Take in account every time you spawn where you are by and any close landmarks. Now it is a possibility to spawn more north in the game, which may confuse more newer players. If you have played the DayZ mod, then you should know where you spawn sometimes. The DayZ game is a bit different. I recommend you just keep going on the shore until you get some good gear to start heading north. Gear, What you want before heading to the hills!: - You're going to need a melee weapon to kill zombies. ; this is a need because zombie aggro has a longer distance now, and they don't back down. If you find the Fire Axe, then you are in luck. I have found it to be one of the most efficient weapons to kill zombies. It is usually a one-shot-kill. - You're going to want a lot of water; at least 5+ canteens worth. You can refill at lakes and water wells, by holding the item in your hand, and scrolling. You can get sick really easily by a majority of things, so use your common sense, and do things you'd probably do/not do in real life. - You're going to need some food. Find a couple pieces of food. I haven't found that you need too much food to survive. - Try to find a gun. You might not run in to much people, but this will be helpful if you do. Go on your instinct. I usually don't shoot on sight. I try not to reveal my position when I find someone, but reveal that I do see them. Try ot get them to drop a weapon at least, and make a friendship. Ask them questions and if you don't like them, YOLO. But. . . Don't waste ammo, Use your melee weapons on unarmed and not-so-dangerous people. Also, you can easily just kill yourself, and get a new spawn, till you can get good loot. lol. Tips: Try to pick up the least amount of close off of dead people, or sick people. I usually only take clothes if they are on the ground, not on a body. It is very easy to get sick and die. It takes your blood away slowly, and is not fun. Blood can be replenished slowly by food. It can also be replenished by blood-bags. But watch out. You need to have the same blood type as the blood in the blood bag. If not, you can get sick and all that stuff. Try to know where you are at all times, and familiarize yourself with the map. Look for landmarks, and different arrangements/buildings in towns or cities. This can really help you in the future. There is also a website to help you which is www.dayzdb.com/map . . . I usually like to find a compass to know which direction I am heading. You can also use the website I just provided if you know where you are. You can also find parts of maps in game. I like to bind the key to M, just like ArmA 2: OA is. Do not trust everyone, or as a lot of people like to say, "Trust no-one" It's hard for me to go with that motto cause I am a friendly guy, and I try to keep the game fun, not just Chernarus+ Deathmatch as I like to say. Try to travel in groups or with friends. It makes the game easier, as you can give tasks to different people, and you can just kill anyone you see or take them hostage. Keep it real, but fun. When you die, keep in your mind that the loot that took you so long to get, is just as easy to get again, and maybe even in a shorter time. The game is mixed with skill and luck. Extra Tips From OTHER Players!: - If you don't need a pair of clothes that you find on the ground, just right click it, and tear it up. It creates rags that you can use to stop bleeding / bandages. @Slartybartfast - If you find helmets like Motobike Helmets or M9 Army Helmets (What they are really called) put them on. They help protect from zombie attacks as well as getting hit in the head by another player. @ap1werks ^ - Stay clear from northern places of the map untill you have gathered essential surviving and combat supplies. @Rivenoir - Clouds go east if you cant find a map, so use that to determine a direction to go. @antiami REMEMBER: DayZ is about survival. This isn't Call of Duty, or Battlefield. Your goal is to stay alive. Keep in mind every decision you make has a consequence. (good or bad) Try to make a plan before you go out wandering in the middle of nowhere. Develop tactics, and have fun. You will learn a lot about the game over time, create a relationship, and understand the game more, as you play. This is a guide just for the newest of DayZ players. I have been playing for 3 years so . . . Also. . . Tell me if there is anything I need to add. It is just a really short guide I made, don't judge. Thanks. Have fun, and peace.

I have learned everything in the game. I have been playing DayZ for over a year, and my skills would be highly of use to you, in my opinion. elijah.ching

I'll join you. My Skype name is: elijah.ching

Hey! I am looking for a DayZ group, or someone to play DayZ with. You can add me up 'elijah.ching' on skype and we'll have do great (P.S) I'm talking about voice chat not video chat. I am a great marksman, and can headshot someone driving a UAZ at maximum speed. If you would like me in your group, or would just like to play with me, then add me up, and let's work this out! I would prefer to play with people my age which are teenagers, but anyone is fine. Thanks! NOTE: If you do not have a skype or for any reason can't/won't skype than leave a comment below and I'll check very often. Thanks! :D

Make sure your directories are in the right place. Look at all of them. Only set the directory to the FOLDER Of where the game is.

I Have an idea. I usually run around with only an axe in my hand. I just run through elektro. I gather supplies (no guns.)

I Am Not Getting Fast FPS At All. I Tried Everything. I Really Want To Play This Game Smoothly. Even On "Very Low" Graphics ( Although That Is What I Am Already Doing ) My Computer Type Is A HP G61 NoteBook PC. Memory: 3072MB Page File: 1682MB Used, 3940MB Available. CPU Usage: With Only Running Internet Explorer And Few Small Other Programs It Ranges From About 0% - 15% I Don't Know My Power Supply Unit #? I Haven't Really Made Any Changes Except For Installing Some Programs, Like AVG, Skype, Steam, Etc.

I don't mean food is not usefull. I was tired when i wrote this.

I know. It is usefull. I was wrong. It's just as usefull as any other food.
