Hi! I'm new to this whole Arma 2/DayZ game. I saw a few videos of DayZ on youtube and thought it looked like lots of fun, so I bought the necessary games for it to start playing. So anyway, I'm looking for someone to help me get started, learning the basics and maybe team up with. Of course I've watched some helpful youtube videos and guides (many from this forum) so I've learned some key bindings etc, etc. But quite frankly - it's hard. Even though I play on Regular servers :S It's like I got an aggro-magnet stuck on me that the zombies gets a hard on for. When I'm spawning on a server, the first thing I'm trying to find is a weapon. Which is MUCH easier said than done, since the towns are full of zombies. I've played on about 5 servers so far, and on the latest server I finally found my first weapon before I got killed - a bloody axe. So, as I said, I'm looking for help and possibly a future partner (If you want of cours). Add my skype if you'd be awesome and help me :) Info: Name: Martin Age: 19 From: Sweden Skype: marty.hs

@ElectricWizard: Yo dude, are you Philip? In that case, I just wanna say that I'm probably gonna stay up till 2-3 am (my time, current time is 23.50), so if you got time, log in to Skype :) I might not be able to play but at least we can set up some time we can both be in? @Sula: Thank you so much! So if I got this right; "dayz" is one hive, "dayz chernarus" is another, "long island" and "panthera" others? And if I play on the "dayz"-hive and gear up there, it won't be on the other hives?

Bah... Accidently double-posted...

Wow! Thanks for all the replies and encouragement! Also, Philip and Aeron that has added me on skype - I am 7 hours ahead of Philip and 6 hours behind Aeron... So the only time we can talk to each other is in the weekend I think, since I can't be up too long 'cus of work.

Thanks a lot for the tips guys! Will try this now, a more slow and safe approach. @Scaverger: That you said about getting in to a low populated server, did you mean so I can learn the game a little with lower risk of getting killed by players, or gearing up safely? Because I've heard that you don't loose any gear or weapons or anything if you log out? Even if you log back on to another server?
