Love the Bakerland servers! Good job!

What a random and unimaginative insult .... you must be a child

I can do worse

First off I would like to welcome all new players to the DayZ SA Alpha! This guide is meant to help you survive your first few hours. If you have never played DayZ mod then you are in for a real treat. This game will test, not only your survival skills, but your gamer skills as well. Since the game is in alpha you will find many issues right out of the box, but no worries ... I am here to help you. First thing you need to do is look at your key-binds. Its important to know what is what and how to get in to your inventory(Tab) or perhaps you want to plead for mercy over direct chat to the crazy man in his underwear trying to bludgeon you to death with a fire extinguisher(Caps Lock) I wont get in to a list since its rather easy to figure out. Kinda. What I will be delving into is some survival techniques that are guaranteed to keep you alive during your first day. Your first goal ingame is to find a weapon ... ANY weapon. This is important in fending off other players and make no mistake about it, you will be doing just that. I know you may have heard a rumor about this being a "Zombie" game but its not. IF you see a zombie the best thing to do is avoid eye contact and steer clear. They don't normally bother humans, however, in the event you do happen to anger one of these gentle creatures simply run away. The best course is to run around in a circle, or through some houses. Most times they forget they can just walk through walls, or floors, or anything really and will just wander off. Now you may be under the impression that because this is billed as a "Zombie Apocalypse" its a "us vs them" kinda game. Its not. You should consider anyone you meet hostile. You should also get in the mind set that you will die, because you will, and usually its going to be for no reason. While the game devs have put considerable effort in to discouraging players from a Kill on Sight mentality as far as equipment damage goes its had little to no effect on those that simply want to see the world burn. So lets get to it then ... I already told you to get a weapon first, this is important. Though technically you CAN fight bare knuckle the combat system isn't exactly user friendly and going up against someone with a baseball bat is going to get you killed. Now once you have your weapon you can spend a little time around your spawn area looking for food and basic supplies. If you run across a water well be sure to drink from it. It might be the only water you find. Always be on the lookout for them. As for food, remember rotten fruit is bad, except bananas. Bananas are ok to eat. The reason for this is you have to remember ....those bananas you eat from the grocery store are rotten. Thats right. Humans consume rotten bananas. If its yellow its rotten. Ever eat a ripe banana? seriously sour stuff right there :( Once you have a few things in hand head inland. Don't hang around the coast. Bandits are all around you. Once you make it inland some you can start spending more time in each little village you come across, but make sure to keep one eye open to any danger. Always assume you are not alone where ever you are. If you happen to run in to someone else there are only a couple of questions you need to ask yourself... Was I seen? Whats the best way to escape? If you were NOT seen hide quickly, keep track of the others movements. What you do next is going to be based on how comfortable you feel in your surroundings. Make sure the player is alone and not with friends. Shadow him and try to sneak up behind with your weapon ready. Remember, this guy has food and you don't. You will need to kill him to survive! Surprise attacks are ALWAYS the best attacks. Never get hung up on outdated concepts like "honor" or "fair-play". This is, after all, the end of the world and considering how scarce food and drink is its almost a requirement to kill for it. If you WERE seen or if there is more than one player you should always run, unless you can separate them, but that's more of an advanced technique so lets just stick with running. No matter what you decide on. fight or flight, it is absolutely imperative that you yell over direct chat "FRIENDLY" over and over again. Even if you are beating someone to death with a crowbar. Well that should get through the first day. If I think of more I will add to it. Have fun gaming and remember, if they come at you yelling "FRIENDLY" they most certainly are not.

40 is more than enough. If you want to make friends I suggest a big city along the coast, but be prepared to NOT make friends. 200 people on a server and the name can be changed to ThunderDome

Been having a grand ole time Thanks Musty :)

Funny vid btw good stuff

I am not in the video and am in no way a member of the staff of these servers The next time you use the word fact, be sure of the definition

No, no one actually plays like what was portrayed in the video on any Musty servers THIS is the fact that you have failed to grasp from the start It was MAKE BELIEVE FFS

It was SCRIPTED Its a MOVIE .... FICTION ... NOT ACTUAL GAMEPLAY They were all in on it It was playacting ... like Shakespeare .. or Michael Fucking Bay How have you not gotten this yet?

It can only be considered a "cheat" if a player or players were "cheated" out of an enjoyable experience from normal gameplay. As this was NOT done on a server where people were actually trying to play the game it can NOT be considered a "cheat"

I expect you to understand that this video was created with the purpose of making fun of certain people, who took it for what it was ... a joke ... ( The definition of "Parody") and at no time was normal gameplay effected on the public servers If you cant find it within yourself to comprehend the words you see on your screen then please, with all due haste, return your computer to the store from whence it came.

Your opinion is as irrelevant as it is wrong Every admin of every server has access to one or more tools that allows them to have an advantage of players. Every time you log on to any server you are trusting that these tools will not be abused Most people understand that

With all due respect. The video was recorded on a test server which is usually locked and is used for testing various upgrades ect to the public server The use of infinite ammo was for the purpose of exaggerating the absurdity of the story being told in the video. Its a parody. Movie makers use the infinite ammo concept all the time, do you log on to their various forums to bitch about how wrong it is to never see Chuck Norris reload a weapon? What you people are doing is taking something and blowing it way out of proportion probably for no other reason than to troll, or at least I hope because the alternative is you are an idiot
