You're

Do you have any idea of the sort of hours you have to put in when creating a game? Any communication at all is a bonus here, Rocket doesn't have a marketing department to put all the info out for him and in the last week I have seen him do more than 1 interview which as been fairly lengthy and in depth. This must be consuming his entire life right now.

I would love to be in this situation surrounded by all these guys and when they say "drop your flash light" all that comes from me is a single grenade, the death would be one of the most worthwhile ever.

WarZ will ruin this game, all the in game footage I have seen just crushes DayZ you should really watch some of it, it's available.................... oh wait no there is none. Microtransactions. SHIT.

When I started playing a couple of months ago I would never have contemplated killing another player, my first weeks were filled with meeting random people and travelling with them, helping people in sidechat that were stuck somewhere and having them help me too. Then chat was removed, slowly but surely I was killed over and over and over when trying to talk to or help people. No one ever replies on the voice chat to me, the one time they did he said "yeah man I am friendly" followed by "you are dead you fuck" as I watching him riddle me with bullets. Killing a bandit is pretty satisfying but they are fairly elusive. Now I have two playstyles, lone wolf and bandit. If I spawn near a city I will simply run in there grab some basic weapons, get in my hiding spot and just watch and wait on people to come by me and I will kill them, usually get around 10 murders before anyone works out where I am. Its fun and there is no guilt involved because it's a fresh character just sprinting in to a city to cause havoc, the only time you get a decent rush is if you stumble on someone with some great gear, at that point I will loot them and head out in to the country to go lone wolf. If i spawn away from a city i just play the survival game and don't bother attacking other players, im 100% friendly which usually results in death.

I kill people on sight or if they are far enough away/haven't seen me I avoid them completely. I have been killed way too many times now by people I have tried to help out or befriend that it is almost a pointless playstyle as you will die very quickly. I either play lone wolf and don't kill others or I am a complete cunt and kill anyone that walks by me.

Isn't the drop in posts because they are on there way to some event in Brighton or something? How many posts did he make while he was at E3? no many would be my guess.

I find ammo for it all the time, but I have only actually found one in about 3 weeks of playing and that was on saturday, I almost wet myself with excitement, Saturday was a good day.

Since the removal of side chat no one has spoken to me, everyone either shoots me on sight or runs away when they see I have a decent gun assuming that I am going to shoot them, I followed a guy for ten minutes yesterday talking on voice and typing at him but he just kept running away because I had a gun and he didnt.

It is true, i think people assume if you are heading in land you are going somewhere good or have been somewhere good so you must have good stuff and they want it. Saying that I haven't met anyone friendly for about a week now, all I get is people pretending to be friendly and then shooting me haha, so yeah I am now a shoot on sight guy where ever I am because I have been fucked over that many times in the last few days I may as well start killing instead of being killed.

Third person is a must for me, whilst I don't mind first person view in most games in this one it is truly horrible. The constant swaying motion makes you want to vomit after about 10 minutes of just moving around as normal. If we want realism, when I am crouched and moving around at walking pace my head isn't constantly waving from side to side. Sovereign nailed it on all points though, I find third person much more realistic because I have peripheral vision, i can peak around corners etc in FP if I am laying in the grass and want to see something ahead I can't just peak my head up and look I have to crouch or stand completely exposing myseld, that's not realistic at all.

Rocket knows what he is doing, if people make stupid suggestions who cares? He's not going to put them all in the game just to spite you.

I think it is pretty random, my latest game within 10 minutes of spawning I had a Winchester, a hatchet, an M9, frank and beans, 3 cans of coke, some smoke grenades, a knife and lots of ammo. The other day I ended up starving to death near Rogovo because although I had plenty drinks and ammo and weapons and a tent and binocs etc I could not find a single can of food. Also you are using an out of game map to check where you spawn and immediately head towards somewhere you know will have loot, that's not the way the game was intended to work and new players are dumped in to the world without a map and many have no desire to use one as you lose all sense of adventure.

Now that the zombies adhere to line of sight mostly you want to run so that you are out of line of sight, through buildings is ideal. Once you are out of LOS go prone so that you are as invisible and as quiet as possible and you should be able to lose them. If you just keep running all the time you will do nothing but constantly attract zombies no matter how many times you go out of LOS.

Just do what I do and when you are using the latest version such as 1.7.1.5 set the filter on the server browser to only show servers that have that in there title, then you get a nice big list of games you can join that are up to date, easy.

On it's own and with some official servers not run by players(as an option, i do enjoy all servers), no hassle to install etc I would gladly pay £30 which is around the price of any AAA released PC game.

YES But only if zombies cannot see me and attack me through walls, if you can't lose Z's by LOS then starting with a gun is a necessity.
