If you really hate PVP and KoS so much, why do you even need "decent gear". You don't need an M4 to survive. You need food, water and something to kill zombies with. It's very easy to stay alive in this game, if you actively try to avoid other players. You must understand that military bases are KoS areas. Because its the logical thing to do. Every unknown at a military camp is a potential heavily armed enemy. And they might even take the loot you need. So better shoot them before they shoot you, or loot the barracks you were heading for.

Nah, you weren't a dick for doing that. It's called vengeance.

Atleast he didn't ghost in and shot you. That happened to me and a friend this weekend. We were just arriving the NWAF from an epic hike. Got lost from the shipwreck, NEAF was looted. I took way more time than it should. Anyway, I have an M4, but only have like 21 bullets, my friend got a fireaxe. So we approach the firestation very careful. Seems like the roof is empty, and my mate runs in. Shots fired, cursing. He's dead. I think I heard both M4 and mosin shots, and hide in some bushes. Suddenly this guy rises from proning on top of the firestation. Starts to climb down the stairs. I spray him with some bullets, and he vanishes. Fucking logger. Well, I thought I heard an M4 too, so Im still sneaking around. Then I get shot from behind. 2 or 3 shots, but I run for cover. The screen is almost black and white, and very blurry. I quickly bandage up, and go searching for that other guy. He clearly couldn't shoot well, cause he was 20 metres away from me, and still didn't kill me. But I can't find him. Then, I hear a clicking sound, and see the sniper from earlier appearing just in front of me. He's not alone. Some guy with an M4 is just next to him. I have about 10 bullets left, and shoot the Sniper first. This time he dies, I turn and shoot after the other guy. I hit him with some bullets, but he just disappears. Logging again. Now I'm all out of bullets, but the snipers body is here, and I need his rifle. I sprint over, and start looting. This guy is a fucking dick. He had (I'm serious) 3 full ammoboxes with 7,62 rounds. that's 600 rounds! He also had 6 or 7 canteens with water, a magnum with 120 rounds, some medical equipment and of course a lot of beans. He must have been hoarding and server hopping for a while. Everything is ruined, but I'm still out of 5,56 ammo, so I take his mosin, and start running for the woods. Then I hear the clicking sounds of someone logging in again. The last thing I hear is shooting sounds from behind me. Where a guy I just shot logged out. So in the span of 3 minutes, I encountered 2 combat logging, ghosting, server hopping assholes. Both of whom got pwned by my shooting skill and tactical knowledge. Both of whom got hit, logged out and then logged in again. I wish I had their names and a vid.

This weekend was a mess for me. Snuck out of the office 2 hours earlier on friday. Was home around 14:00. My girlfriend was working the night shift, so she didn't come home till after midnight. I popped my first beer and met up with some friends in Chernarus. We played for 10 hours straight. I didn't even eat. Just drank beer and played the game. And it was awesome. As my girl came through the door we were in the middle of an epic firefight on the hills overlooking the Elektro power plant. AKA sniper hill. Like a true pro, I took the right flank, and killed 2 of the bandits. The GF thought I had a seizure. I was just pumped. Unfortunately I had to go to a party on saturday, so my elite team could not meet up that day. Yesterday we had another 10 hour session though. I was hungover as shit, So I wasn't on top of my game. And I was very dehydrated. And my GF was less than impressed. Basically, this game is bad for my relationship, my body and my career. But it is so much fun!

You'd want the super zombies from dead island? or from left 4 dead? Get out of here...Zombies should be slow and easily killed. The Zombies are awesome, albeit still too few. When they've worked enough on the servers, they WILL add more.

More zombies and less loot after the last patch. lovin it! And theyre not harder to hit, you just suck at hitting. I've also found zeds in the middle of the woods. Now that's scary!

Hello friend. I don't know what server you are playing on, but I might have been the one killing you. You see me and a friend walked all the way from the south coast to the NWAF, and when we got there, the server restarts. So we found a new server. I spawned inside a building. And all the doors were locked, so when I saw someone standing in one of the rooms, I immediately thought: server hopper, and almost crapped my pants. Got a nice clip of 5.56 bullets into him first though. So I'm sorry if you thought i was a server hopper, when my last server just went down. I'm not sorry for killing you though, because not having a KoS on the military bases and airfield is just plain stupid. On the bright side, I didn't loot you, because I feared you were not alone. I ran straight for the forest, wiped my dirty arse, and changed my underpanties.

Glitch is maybe the wrong word. I'll call it an exploit. And you shouldn't have to choose between on or off on such an important matter. Just limit the 3rd person view, and the problem goes away. But honestly, it's only an alpha, so I'm not too concerned. My main problem is that so many people use whatever bug, glitch and exploit they can find. And that's just sad.

It's obviously not people like you that's the problem here mate. So calm down a bit. People that use 3rd person view purely for the aesthetics is ok imho. People that use it to look over walls and stuff like that is using a glitch. As long as they can remove it, I see no problem keeping 3rd person. I think in spectator mode in CS there was something called locked 3rd person view. Maybe that could be the answer?

Yesterday I had an epic hike from Berezino to the shipwreck -> to the NE AF -> Castle -> NWAF -> Stary Sobor -> Chernogorsk. Didn't meet a single fellow survivor. I wasn't on an empty server, nor was I very discreet. I shot every Zombie I found. Threw my axe away the minute I found a firearm. It was boring, but I learned the topography of the northern map well enough. Will help me navigating in the future. But back to the topic. The game I wanna play. Jigsaw style. I looted so much shit I'm set for life. Guns, ammo, u name it. Then I started thinking I wanna go back to the south. Find me some other survivors. And help them. Or kill them. Depends. With a full backpack, and vests and shit, you can carry a lot. A lot a lot. So I'm currently carrying 10 loaded magnums. And 120 .357 rounds. That's a fully loaded gun with 12 extra bullets. For 10 lucky newspawns. So here's my plan. I'm going to detain whoever I find. If they attack me, I will shoot them. If not, I'll say: I wanna play a game! If they win the game, they will get a loaded magnum with extra bullets. If they lose I will probably just give it to them anyway. But the point is they will not know. Sounds fun eh? So. What game do I wanna play? Shall I just ask them random questions. Or a riddle perhaps? Or something a tad more complicated? Maybe I'll find two newspawns and make them duel in western style (bad idea, they'll probably just team up against me). Or a boxing match. Or the first one to find me a pristine hoodie or beanie. The opportunities are endless. If you got any ideas, please share them. If not, come find me ingame, and I will give you a magnum. Or shoot you in the dick.

But it should not be like that. I get that people use 3rd person view for battling motion sickness, and to get different loot and stuff. But if your using 3rd person view to look over walls and stuff, you have completely misunderstood the game. I rarely use 3rd person, and I would never use it to gain advantage over an enemy. To me its as disgraceful as combat logging and server hopping. But as a lot of people are doing that as well, it's no surprise a lot of you still use 3rd person for the glitching. And then you go and flame to people that find it annoying. Turn off the 3rd person look over the wall glitch, and I'll bet 80% will stop using it.

I agree, but as long as there is no vehicles, it's going to be a real pain in the ass to have to walk everywhere! So maybe wait until vehicles are implemented, then do something about the unlimited running.

I just gotta ask. What is gas station roulette?

This was so far the best suggestion ever. I was like a badass gunslinging Simon Cowell. "You sound like a Zed" - boom headshot "Your voice just ruined my speakers" - boom headshot! or more positive things like "your voice could calm down even the cruelest bandits. Here have a magnum" But seriously. No one in this community can sing. Which I guess is fine. Not a lot of great riddlesolvers either when I come to think about it. Here are some of the riddles i used. I think one out of 8 answered it correct. Riddle: I am greater than God, more evil than the devil, the poor have me, the rich don't, and if you eat me, you'll die. - Not a rotten apple; which someone answered. It made me laugh, so I gave him a magnum. Riddle: There is an ancient invention still used in some parts of the world today that allows people to see through walls. Riddle: What number do you get when you multiply all of the numbers on the numpad? That last one was a math problem, which proved that few in this community is good with numbers. I ended up giving out 4 or 5 magnums, then one of the guys I gave one to shot me. I guess you reap what you sow. It was still great fun though!

whoa...some people don't get the whole "keep it civil" thing, do they. That being said, the human body is actually not made of glass, and will not break or succumb easily. I worked as an Operation room technician for three years. I saw some horrible injuries, way worse than gunshots, and people still survived. There are thousands of cases of people being able to survive multiple gunshots. Even without protective gear. But this is a game, and in a post-apocalyptic world. Even if you can survive wounds from a gun, you will need medical treatment. A bandage isn't enough. And it's not like you can admit yourself to the nearest hospital. All in all, making guns 1 shot kills wherever you hit is illogical. Right now the Mosin should be 1 hit kill if you hit in the torso (or head obviously), and the magnum is also quite powerful (have you ever fired one? Its awesome). The damage system is fine. Maybe they could implement a system that hurts the arms or legs if you're hit there, but I don't think it should be a priority.

I was fully geared and on my way to the south. Walking on the main road, minding my own business when I hear a scream on the Direct chat. - Leeeeeerooooooy Jeeeeeeeeenkiiiiiiiiins. Some dumbass came charging at me with a crowbar. He fell face down with four 5,56 mm in his body. Was still kind of funny though Disclaimer: Google it you lazy fuck.

What does a tank commander, a fighter pilot and a naval captain have in common? They're all weak compared to ME! I find you doubting my story a little disturbing, so I'm going to link the video of it: Actually the recording was deemed to "awesome" for youtube, so I found another youtube clips. It's more or less how the deal went down!

Cute story! Reminds me of a toddler version of the true legend. McPaulus. I'm named after another legend; McGyver, and much like him, I think guns are for weaklings who does not have the upper body strength for melee weapons. When have you ever heard of a Fireaxe "clicking" or running out of ammo? So I was hunting bandit noobs at the NWAF the other day. Sporting my mullet and a pair of aviator glasses as usual. Helmets ruins my hair, so no need for that shit. Backpacks are also for weaklings. I'm not hiking, I'm winning! The airfield was filled with server hoppers, ghosters and combat loggers. Just the targets I was looking for! So I'm chilling in one of the barracks, when I hear some shooting outside. A group of 5 fully geared mofos was shooting at this hot curly haired girl. Not on my server! I skillfully created a diversion using my knife and a portable lamp. 3 of the guys go check it out, while the 2 others are overlooking the area. I sneak up on the two, and hack them to pieces with my fireaxe. 1 hit, two kills! I obviously hacked into the Teamspeak database, and could hear their crying voices. It was like music for my soul. The 3 noobs that had fallen for my masterfully planned diversion, heads back to their fallen friends. I smelled through the TS channel that at least 2 of them had soiled themselves. That smell still comes me in my sweet dreams. But this time they were not close enough for me to take them all out with one swing. So I sneak my way behind them, and attack the guy in the back. I have studied neuroscience for a couple of weeks, so I have a PHD in it. This knowledge gives me an idea, and I plant my axe in the motion center of the brain of the guy, and twitch the axe a little bit, so even if he's dead, he shot his 2 friends. In the head. With the same bullet! The girl they were shooting at had lost almost all of her blood, but I kissed her on her lips, and she was fine again. We found our blind friend fat Pete and went for another adventure!

I wouldn't mind bigger zombies as long as they still go down with a bullet to the brain. Or an axe in the brain for that matter. But instead of bigger zombies, I would rather like to see hordes/herds of them. Specially in the cities. I know there's a limit now, but with some serious serverwork, I think the Z's could make a real threat. Imagine you're in a city looting, and suddenly you become surrounded by 40 zombies. You need to find an escape route, and be careful you wont get cornered. I'm also hoping that zombies will take more than one shot to kill (unless you hit them in the head). Now you can fire at their legs and they still get dropped. And will the zombies ever carry loot? I mean they are wearing clothes, so they should be lootable. Is this going to be implemented?

Haha! That's exactly what I did. Im not proud of this, but I didnt even know there was a online map the first days I played the game. I was so lost it wasn't even fun. I found a map ingame, but that was with western letters, so instead of actually googling dayz map, I googled russian alphabet to find out what was on the street signs. Also, I thought Chernarus was the name of a city, not a country, so I spent a lot of time looking for that great city. Oh what a noob I was :). But not using the online map has given me certain advantages though, and now I can easily find my way around. I have some problems in the middle and northern parts, but along the coast, it's very easy :)

For such a rant you do have a great point though! "THE BEST PART IS STARTING OVER" This is actually true. As the game is in its Alpha, you really cant expect to keep your gear for a long time anyway. For me the fun starts after I find your first well. And usually it ends when I have geared up. Sure, you can try to bandit\hero, but that is really timeconsuming. You find maybe 1 person every 30 minutes. I find the game more exciting when in the beginning and middle. You find some bullets and a gun, but they dont match, so you keep looking, and you always have to be mindful of the Z's and other players. I don't exactly start cheering out loud when I fall from death, or get KoS by a bandit, but start over with something of a grin :) It's also a great way to learn the map without having to check the interwebz every 2 minutes. That being said, I have no respect for people that's using questionable methods like ghosting, server hopping to get gear or combat logging. I would never combat log. Hell, I don't even like it when people use 3rd person for looking over walls and around corners. I mean come on! We play this game for the "immersion and realism", and people use 3rd person view for the glitch. Even youtubers like devildog and rhinocrunch does this. Where's the fun in that? 3rd person should be used for 2 reasons only: 1. to check out your character - 2. To avoid getting motion sickness (turn down head bobbing and you should be fine though).

So I just stumbled across this game a while ago. Never heard of the mod nor the "game" WarZ. But I read a little bit about it, and 20$ or whatever isn't really a big deal for me, so I decided to try it. I wasn't that frightened by the Alpha stamp, as I played both Minecraft and Mount & Blade very early in the development (and they turned out great)! The first 10 times I started a character was hard. Zombies, no supplies, not having a clue about anything really (spawnpoints, good loot points). Basically I knew nothing. Wanting a bit of a challenge, I'd rather learn it myself, than go on youtube and watch a bunch of tutorials. So I guess you can say it was hard to survive in the beginning. But it was fun. Great fun. Little by little I learned how to survive for longer and longer, and I will now share with you some of my "best" stories. My first gun So i spawn on the SE coast. This was like the 5th or 6th time I've spawned so I had really no idea what to do. I head inland, searching for those fabled airfields. The first house I find has like a barn or something, and behold; a well. It took me like 5 minutes to figure out how to drink from it, and i only took like 3 swigs (not knowing that you should drink like 20 times). I keep going inland, and find a Mosin in a shed (I've never found anything useful in a shed since that). Great, a gun. Now what? No ammo, or melee weapon. I keep going inland, and find a small village which i loot thorougly. I find some ammo! And it fits in my gun. Now I'm pretty much invulnerable, right? Wrong. I had no idea how to aim down sight (its a quick double tap on the right mouse button). And this was back when I actually didn't know you could outrun the Zombies. I thought they followed you forever, so when I encounter a couple of zombies, I'm thinking, fuck yeah! But the bullets wont hit! So I start panicking, and somehow I end up lying prone on the ground. And the gunshots attracted even more Zombies. And I still didnt have a melee weapon or the brainpower to just run away. I eventually hit one of them (you have like 5 or 6 bullets in the gun), but the rest slaughter me. My first M4 This was a couple of days after christmas. I was back home, so I hadn't had the chance to play for like 10 days. I was pumped. On one of my now dead characters, I had found a tourist map, and could now navigate a little bit better on the east and south coast. I learned how to recognize some of the biggest towns, and knew better how to find my way around. I found some supplies and a nice fireaxe, so I wasn't that scared of the Z's, and was confident enough to check out some of the bigger buildings in Berezino. And on the top floor of a school or something I find an M4! Sweet! No ammo though. I head towards the docks in search of more loot, and enter one of those warehouse buildings with a second floor railing. I go upstairs, and BOOM! I bug through the wall, and fall down breaking my foot. Fuck. Not having the necessary supplies or knowledge (at that time I didn't even know you could use a Morphine injector to "cure" a broken bone), I despair. Luckily there is a nearby Zombie to put me out of my misery. Before he does that though, I'm smart enough to crawl inside a building, and put all my supplies on the ground. I picked one of those sheds\warehouses full of North Korean boxes (never any loot there, so less risk of some other survivor getting any of my shit). I respawn, and find myself on the southern coast. Near Elektro I think. I have to go north. And it's a long walk! Luckily I find some neat supplies pretty quick. Food, water, a fireaxe and a compass. The compass means I dont have to follow the main road, so I run into the forest like an animal. I loot a couple of small towns before I find some kind of construction site. Sweet and full of loot. At the top I find a 30 round mag 5.56. Could this fit the M4? I quickly run north to find out! After what seems about two hours of running I finally get to where I fell and broke my foot! And my loot is untouched. The mag fits the M4, and I'm now officially the most badass person on this server! By this time, I'd even learn how to properly aim! I head north through the city, and follow the coast. A magnificent sight reveals itself. A huuuge boat tore in half. This I gotta check out! I shoot some Z's along the way, and enter the wrecked ship. This thing is like a massive maze. I find some half decent loot too. Ammo, medical supplies and lots of food and drink. So I find out its time to leave, but I just wanted to check out the view from the top. So guess what happened? I slipped\bugged or whatever from the top of the ship, and fell like 30 metres into my death. And by then it was 2 in the morning, so I didnt even bother to respawn (and I'm not sure for how long the servers stays up, or how long the body can be looted). Observations and tips When you are low on health, you can start to regenerate. But you need to eat and drink alot. Like 6 cans of soda, and 6 units of food(maybe even more, I just ate everything I found for like 20 minutes), and then top it off with some water. Don't start with water, because then you'll get full\stuffed, but you'll still be low on energy. When you have eaten enough, your character's status will be "healing" or "healthy". Be careful when administering Saline Bag IV. If you use a worn, damaged or badly damaged bag, you can go into a septic shock, and end up losing more blood\health than you had before the injection. Clean your wounds with alcohol tincture, or your clean your wounds by spraying disenfectant spray on your clothes. Do not drink these items (First time I actually found a military base I mistakenly drank some spray, started vomiting and was killed by zombies. Never even had a chance to see if there was anything good in there).

Hi! That's what happened to me anyway. I had a random stranger administer an Saline IV bag on me, and i was back to full health. Then after like 15 minutes, I got a "shocklike" twitch in my body, and my bloodlevel was worse than before. And I'm pretty sure it was because of a damaged Saline bag. Not a 100% sure though, but like 95%(I was not thirsty nor hungry, and it went from full health, to like dizzy almost black and white).
