Jex =TE= (DayZ)

TrackIR is one of the best gadgets for PC gaming, not only Arma but flight sims, racing sime, etc. I can't recommend it enough, especially when ur flying a chopper in arma - sweet!

I spent half an hour sprinting around cherno, lost every zombie I had after me. I even had to go back to get them because I wanted 10 of them chasing me through the streets, the most i could manage was 3 and they were easily lost. However, run down the road with 20 zeds chasing you and other players scatter like chickens! It's like "fuck wit me, my zombie crew are gonna make u a new asshole!" Nobody fucks with you when you got yourself a Z-Crew!! lol

Way over powered tbh. Run backwards and when the zombie makes a hit, that's when u hit just after. Couple of swings and they should be dead or find a building and hack away (just remember to back off out of their reach). You can even get head shots with them. I don't think Arma is suited for H2H and because it's silent, you won't attract hordes like a gun so you'll only have a handful of Z's to deal with. Not only that but Z's, whilst able to see more are useless at getting you. Run through a town at spawn, get 10 chasing you, then start running in circles, try chasing a zombie as well (it's hilarious) and you can pretty much do that all day long if ur careful. Even just running backwards will do. Run into a big city like Cherno and dodge through alleys and streets and you'll loose them and any stragglers you can kill with the Hatchet, making it the only weapon you really need. Now I've sussed out the Zed's, they're just comical now. Just run into a city and don't bother with stealth, just use the hatchet.

A rifle isn't "on ur back" necessarily. In fact all the time I had a rifle it was slung across my front and I could bring it to bare in a second (SA80 as u civvies would call it) had a nifty strap on it which would let it hang from your chest and was also great for steadying the weapon in a standing position.

This is an alpha' date=' the game is barely being fleshed out, inventories will most likely be wiped time and time again. Alpha means the devs add features upon features and that it will be bugged as hell. Then when it starts looking like something they will spend time fixing. [/quote'] Exactly and I hope when this goes gold (or whatever u call it), everyone's character's get reset.

LMAo Lucky guy...

I'm not complaining, I'm pointing out the fact that Zombies are only easy AFTER you have played the game for hours. People learn how the zombies work and when they have sussed them out they say, "They're too easy!" not realising this is probably due to the experience they have gained. They don't realise they are veterans rather than noobs?

I hated the crossbow until i was forced to use it (no other weapons) and now I know how to aim it, it's great for taking out annoying zeds. Only thing being, GIVE IT MORE AMMO!! Jeez 3 fucking bolts is equivalent to engine parts? Make them 5 round magazines

You need to understand what u get when u buy arma. It's a game that has huge support (free) from the community. Most of my Arma is playing Military missions. That is getting online with my friends and we all work together to go do a mission. Dayz is a tiny part of what arma holds and is a game you will be playing for years if u like missions where u have to insert by chute and blow up something, or go on a SAR or jump in choppers and go destroy enemy tanks... basically Arma allows practically any type of mission or idea u can think of.

So can I run through a whole town, get the zeds chasing me and then run through a building and go out the other side and now have the town to myself to explore as I like? BTW hilarious video lol :)

In the same boat, I even tried shooting zombies hoping for something and only empty tin cans. Seems different people have different luck with items. In the first 1.7 release, I found nothing but backpacks everywhere lol (those shitty chest ones or patrol packs so they weren't even useful!)

I just updated the last 2 patches so I missed the previous one to the current one. Read the release notes, got in and thought ok cool, not a believer the zombies need more vision but we'll see what it's like. So I am near elektor or Cherno and I make my way to the docks. I'm crouched and running. I move from cover to cover, checking the area out ahead of me. Mmm no zombies. So I sprint across open terrain to a house and suddenly I have zombies all around me and now I'm being chased. I run into a warehouse, up the steps to hide in the back room after bandaging myself. Zombies are blocking the gantry back down now (I new it was a dead end btw, but it was the only place I was going to get gear and I was bleeding so needed to bandage). So now I have no way out, the zombies aren't coming to me but they aren't moving so I had to go and crawl upto them (I suddenly got a broken leg somehow) and got myself killed. Respawned at Kamenka, went through every house, found a revolver. CRAWLED everywhere, had zombie spawn inside houses u can't enter and pop out to attack me. Managed to survive a few encounters and am now in a house, logged off and going to starve to death because there's no food or water. So far not impressed but I'm going to give it a go and see how it works out.

Agree with the OP. It's usually the Zombie's that flame because their brainz are rotting. Yes didn't youm know? The zombies come here to get tips on how to get us survivors!

I'm in some agreement with the OP, I haven't found any food and had to log off so now, when i log back on, I'm dead. The crawling is somewhat excessive but I love the limited kit. I'd actually prefer it if the kit was randomised a little, like you never knew what u'd get when u spawned a new character (or maybe have one random item goodie) Too early yet to give a structured opinion but chill the fuck out guys, it's just a post. Fuck knows what ur all like in rl lol

Can the ammo be fixed? Currently if u reload every mag, leaving 1 in the magazine, when u log back on all ur magazines are full again making the rarity of certain ammo types redundant.

I don't see anything and if it's there it isn't working right.

The last 6 deaths I had were by players who pretended top be friendly or just shot me straight away (more annoying that I had literally 1 or 2 minutes where i could have shot them first). Typing "friendly" did fuck all so right now, anyone gets close to me I'm shooting first. In fact my last death came from NE airfield. I just found the coyote back pack (the 24 storage one) and a M4 CCO. Left the airfield covertly, thought I saw someone so went to ground for a few minutes. Then heard shooting fairly far away so took that as an opportunity to escape through the trees. I leg it, move from cover to cover, cross a road down a hill into an open field and fuck me if there wasn't someone on the otherside who shot me! 180 degrees to choose from and I chose the wrong one. Shit like that just pisses me off especially when i was being careful. I seem to bump into people in the most remote of places rather than being in a big city.

Fix the ammo bug (where u log off with 2 rounds in it then log back on and ta da! full magazine again) and make the regular ammo rarer. You can have a zillion guns but they're uselss without bullets. Make ammo rarer.

Yep for long term gameplay, some goals need to be added

+2 I do this too lol. Set myself to walk and head off through the woods, compass and map in hand. It's disappointing to find a nice spot and nothing there. Also.... GIVE US A DAMN AUTO WALK BUTTON! Sick of jamming cardboard into the keyboard...

I ate 20 cans of (Beans, frank & beans and sardines) today! BURP

Agreed. Having to stand 30m from an object is just ridiculous (And leaves it out in the open) I should be able to pitch it pretty much anywhere on roughly flat land and in a forest so i can hide it (It is meant to be a stash after all and I don't want people finding it because it's in the middle of a field)
