This one time, I found some beans... I fuckin' ate those bitches.

You have a perfect attitude and perspective about this game. I think you'll really be glad you got in on it early as they introduce more elements that will provide an even richer experience. Welcome aboard! I'll send you a Steam friend request also...

Eventually, there will be tents. So you can stash spare rations, weapons and supplies to help get you going after death. Tents, when they get introduced, can get raided though. So hide your shit well. The game will progress so your not carrying your entire life savings on your back.

I've found them in police stations also. I showed a few my good map loot locations in my map tutorial video. The apartment buildings are a good spot also in my experience, forgot about that one.

Just a quick guide on how to use the in-game maps and craft larger maps as you come across them. I show you some of my favorite locations and how to place markers of different types and colors on the map. Hope this helps out, I know I've gotten a few questions about the map use in the standalone. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEu8lAWSMv0&feature=c4-overview&list=UU0yFMbN3qVBxQtbSdt2HuTA

If you want to access your med kit or any other storage container, put it in your hand rather than putting it on the ground to access it. Even after this fix, it's the safer way of accessing it.

Add me on steam and whenever you come across any issues shoot me a message "Accurize", also check out my tutorials for topics such as movement, inventory, maps, ect... Again if you have a question not answered in those or via google or forum search, give me a shout. That goes for anyone new to the game or anyone with questions. Just message me on steam or on my yt channel under the discussion tab, I'll look into your issue.

As stated earlier hitting the military base just north of Kamenka, then Zelenogorsk, then Green Mountain, then the military base south of Vybor and finally the NWAF is my preferred route... just drink water at every town from a well (or pond along the way - since it is currently safe). The only thing you need to really worry about on the coast is getting a few cans of food and a sharp object to open them. Normally if you follow this route and hit the barracks, tents and police stations along the way your geared up by the time you reach the NWAF, but if not and you still have to hit the NWAF then hopefully this video guide helps...

Would you mind adding my threads with the movement and inventory tutorials I made? It pretty much covers the basic controls and inventory questions I noticed most of my friends who were new to the DayZ franchise had...

Here's a simple way to find yourself a 24/7 daytime server if you want one...

I've considered doing this type of tutorial. I imagine it shouldn't be a problem. I would just have to record every time I came across something new. I know the melee weapons would be pretty beneficial to the beginners. I worry that the firearms have a good chance of getting tweaked in the near future for balancing. So I might wait on firearms for the moment until the dust settles a bit...maybe in the beta stage. But I think the melee tutorial / comparison is a great idea!

Yeah, I've noticed that also. I know there are some night time only servers, but I'm assuming your not referring to those. The alpha world is a strange beast indeed. Good question. It seems to hold true...sometimes. I don't get it, maybe someone else can explain it. I definitely prefer filtering the servers as demonstrated in the video though.

As a cop we call it developing your 'street eyes'. My first few months everything looked new. After a while working the same area, just a car parking in a slightly different location than normal would draw a second look. Watching for smoke and listening for shot direction is important also. If your going to an area that has a high probability for contact, think 'If I were a sniper, where would I like to setup.' Pick a few likely spots and give them a good look before entering an area. It's mainly a matter of experience. Experience is what you get after you need it.

What is the actual message your getting? Someone thought it might be from eating rotten fruit or something. Are you sure it's due to overeating? If so, then you're lucky, it will pass...or you'll get murdered first. Either way, result.

I wouldn't get too discouraged by the coastal KoS at the moment. Right now there just isn't that much to do inland. No tents to keep you from storing your 'life savings' on your back, no vehicles to move quicker around the map, thus spreading people out easier, no helicopter or events to draw people seeking battle, no animals to hunt, no buildings to build, no radios that work to communicate with others at a safe distance...I'm sure there are many more future additions that I'm forgetting. I think your expectations are a little much since this is in an alpha state. This is the time to work out technical bugs, not to tweak user interaction. I know it's tough though, I have a few friends in the same exact place you are with it. As stated earlier, just give it some time.

That was probably the most grammatically correct post I've ever seen. I see an English professor career in your future. Glad it helped! I added a couple more tutorials on my YT channel also, Accurize2. Let me know if you have any other questions that I might be able to do a tutorial on...I'm taking requests!

flygamer1, just created an beginner's inventory guide and uploaded it today...hope it is what you were looking for. Here's the link for the forum thread with the video: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?

Do you want to play at night? Would you prefer to play during the day? Or, are you just curious how people do it. Personally I think the night time is still a bit unrealistic compared to my RL night vision. Honestly, unless the moon is full, I don't much like it. I have a tutorial video that shows how to get on a 24/7 daytime server if that is what you want.Here's the link to the video if you feel like your always stuck on a night time server due to when you typically play. If your intention is to actually play at night, then disregard the video linked below...
