Well i just started this game recently and i'm finding it very frustrating i'm hardly getting a chance to do anything as every single person seems to kill on sight, i either spawn and get spawn killed or spawn spend anywhere between 10-20 mins to 1 hour finding decent loot only to be shot instantly the second anyone see's me no "I'm friendly" over mic or in direct chat no "lay down your arms" just boom dead everytime nobody seems interested in being friendly which kinda ruins this game. I don't mind being killed on sight sometimes as thats part of the game but from all the time i've played so far it seems nobody is interested helping each other or giving anyone a chance most times i've been killed i'm either unarmed or no threat what so ever yet still they kill me on sight! Rant Over.....

Update: Well afew days on i'm getting pretty good at this game i can hold my own i'm no sniper ace but i can get around pretty well and i've learn most things about how to play the game and i can tell you the main reason i was dying alot before was cause i didn't know how to walk and i was running everywhere which agro'd every zombie which then chased me and without weapons i was screwed. lol Had my first death due to a script kiddie after four hours of playing exploring and surviving when a script kiddie teleported right onto of me and shot me when i was out in the middle of nowhere. Also got spawn sniped instantly the second i spawned by some bandit snipers on sniper hill and died. /= lol I do think there should be more military weapon random spawns in places other than the airfields though as the L33T players tend to have them tied down which gives others very little chance of getting weapons to have a fighting chance against the better players. Oh and thanks to the random guy who ran upto to me without saying a word and fixed my broken leg after i had been sniped by bandits and then ran off without saying a word didn't steal anything either. :D

Ah so thats how i use a hatchet i did find one at one point but couldn't figure out how to use it. Thanks for the info it will come in useful. ;)

Well after a night of playing my first day in DayZ went like this: 1st Spawn:Spawned in the sea swam to land got attacked by zombies and died. 2nd Spawn:Spawned in the sea swam to land got attacked by zombies and died again. 3rd Spawn: Spawned on land by the coast went to some houses crouch walked everywhere got attacked by zombies and died. 4th Spawn: Spawned on land saw a helicopter crash went to investigate found nothing got eaten alive by zombies. 5th Spawn: Spawned on land went to investigate a village found nothing but knifes got attacked by zombies managed to escape had to bandage myself but lost a lot of blood went to some multi level concrete car park style building and bumped into another new guy called bally who was also very close to death. So we went to find blood so we could heal our self's sadly some n00b decided since he had a gun and saw us he was going to try and kill me even though i was unarmed and shouting "I'm friendly" on voice he hit me which started me bleeding again and bally shot at him with his handgun which scared the cowardly n00b away then bally bandaged me again and we continued to look for blood by this point i was too sick to continue as i kept passing out every 30 seconds or so so bally went looking for blood nearby while i stayed hidden, somehow bally had broken his leg and died from his injuries and shortly after i succumbed from my many injuries also and died. This games learning curve is something like being hit in the face with a sledge hammer. lol

Thanks Amber this will help a lot and that motion blur effect was doing my head in. :D

lol thanks erm planning? The spawns were random and i died as soon as i got to land i think surviving more than 2 minutes would make it more enjoyable but i guess as nobody is interested in helping inworld i'll just have to die alot and either figure it out or delete the game in defeat lol.

Well my first task is to make it more than 10ft without getting beaten to death! LOL The problem is remembering the control keys as i'm not a pc gamer and there are soooo many to remember also no idea how to get rid of that annoying motion blur effect.

LOL i hope so too but i feel playing this game alone will be a struggle.

Yes lol i spawned twice in the middle of the sea on my first ever games took me about 10 minutes to swim to land at which point zombies ran at me and beat me to death LOL welcome to DayZ. :D

Thanks i found this before but i was really looking for some people to team up with a learn as i play as well as learning from this.

Well just got this game today and got it all setup and the first servers i entered i spawned in the middle of the sea and when i got to land i got beaten to death and then eaten by zombies! This happen twice i really have no clue what im doing and really need some people that have patience to team up with and help a hopeless n00b get to grips with this game. Any takers? Thanks for your time. ;)
