    I would love to have some realism. Brings back some excitement in the game.

    I understand a decent bit now but people seem to not be understanding what I mean. After playing for a bit I do enjoy the feeling that I could be hunted by a bandit. If I can find him and turn the hunt back on the hunter well then thats hilarious. What I didn't like first off was being mocked and made fun of on the server because I didn't play the game before. I can put the bullet to my head for helping a guy out to a case of bad luck. But still I'd hope the majority doesn't want to shoot me in the back after I help them. It just seems rather rude. I'm alot more careful now. Usually I will stalk someone and watch their actions. If they have no weapon I will attempt to make contact and perhaps team up or something. This is just theory tho as I haven't worked this one out yet.

    You can learn basic controls if you go to the Arma 2 tutorials. From what I read, you were using side channel. What you need to use in this case is direct communication. You can switch channels with the ( < ), and ( > ) keys above space bar. Yes, this game is dog eat dog, but the community is not necessarily bad. Just remember the nature of this game... You should probably play with a friend, the game can get boring if you run around all the time with no action. Don't give up on the game. Dayz has a very steep learning curve, but you will get to understand what fun this game can bring if you persist. If you ever need help, don't forget the forums.

    Yea thats the thing. I don't exactly have a buddy to help me out. Only found out about this game on YouTube back in June/July 2012.

    well, you joined the game at a bad time. it seems at least 90% of players just shoot on sight now compared to when dayZ first came out. there are friendly people out there, but they are very rare. i'll explain how the chat system works, i got confused with it the first time around. there are several different types of chat. 'side chat' is server-wide, and 99% of servers have ban warnings for using your mic in the side chat. then you have direct chat. this is what you want to use when talking to a player near you. it only talks to players within about 50 metres of you. then there's vehicle chat, with this one only people that are in the same vehicle as you can hear you. there's also a global chat in arma 2 but you will very rarely see that in dayZ. you swap the chat you are currently talking into using the '.' or ','. (i think those are the defaults) good luck, and hopefully your experience wasn't bad enough to put you off the game completely! sometimes it can be a real pile of shit, and you constantly get shat on by other players, but other times it can be the most fun you'll ever have in a videogame.

    Thank you for the help. I think I may try again later tonight. Atleast I understand chats now.

    Sorry that's your first experience mate, but you gotta know how to type ingame at least, right? You know about the different channels obviously, there's one for talking to nearby people. The other players just get gripy about talking in side b/c there's a lot of little kid idiots online who make a bunch of racket over side channel.

    I know how to switch them but I'm not to sure about the difference of them. If I switch the chat does the mic do the same thing to?

    So today I got ARMA and was finally able to install DayZ. First time logging into a server and I die (weaponless) 10 minutes later from zombies. Ok thats expected. So I decided to try a different server cause I didn't start with any weapon. (From LPs I'v seen of the mod I thought I'd get a weapon but oh well.) On this new server everything wen't decent. I was able to learn how to sneak past some zombies to a grocery store. Inside I found and bunch of food and my first gun! A Makarov, how exciting! (No sarcasm intended) It even had some clips on it to. So I then took my leave out the back hoping to follow advice from LPers and head inland as I was pretty well stocked for the trip. (Besides a decent weapon of course) While leaving I heard footsteps behind me! And it was another player...weaponless as I was. I decided to leave him be as I don't think its real nice to just kill a fresh spawn. I had no idea how to talk so I kinda just went on my way. Bout 30 secs latter I hear a bunch of zombies being aggroed and that same player come racing by me. Me and him manage to fight them off but then....guess what he does? Shoots me in the head. Well....glad I helped save his ass. So I respawn and I try again. Unfortunately I spawned near the same town again so I was very reluctant to go in. This time I decided to check the fire house first. Junk inside and yet again I heard foot steps. Another player! Hes unarmed like I am so I just go on my way. I decide to try the grocery store again. While I'm crawling there the guy that I ran into in the firehouse was trying to speak to me on mic. I truly wish I knew how to talk on mic. I have one and IDK how the voice chat in this game works. So once I got into the grocery store I tried to figure it out. And I did!.....sort of. I guess I must have talked server wide or something...I have no idea the chat system confuses me. Apparently this was against server rules so the admins and players mocking me on both voice chat at text chat. I promptly disconnected from the server and closed the game. First 30 or so minutes of playing and I already don't feel like picking up this game again. May just be that server but I'm usually not wrong in instances of guessing if a community is horrible or not. Woulda been nice if I could find a new player server that teaches people the in game commands and how to get on your feet or at the very least a wingman/friend to help me out and in turn down the road when my skills improve I do the same. But I don't see that happening atleast not until I sift through all the crap. But I mean is it really worth me doing that? This game seems really fun and I love the idea of it. But the community so far has treated me like a piece of shit and a child so I'm not really sure if that can out weigh the pros. Still I may try again tomorrow or something but I don't think I'm gonna touch the game for the rest of the day.
