o_o The whole adventure of the game is taking it slow; surviving and gradually finding what you need to make your life easier. In alpha, this is way too easy and you can find a Mosin or M4 with one sweep of a city.

Give 1stForceGaming a go and join in, 1stForceGaming is based in Australia but are accepting different time zones which adds diversity to the community! It's a good laugh and definitely makes the game more enjoyable; you will be on trial but the group I've met so far are tactical and approachable! Bump ^

Good to know! If you have a sniper I just picked up a mosin with a scope and bipod, I'm willing to give that and a load of ammo for it to any of your squad who use them.

Agreed, right now the weapons that do appear have a high chance of spawning literally because they're the only chance.. It's only logical that the more you add, the lower your chances are of finding what you want.. Which eventually will force players to explore more of the map and find better loot spots; it's just a matter of patience whilst the developers do their thing, and so far they're definitely doing it well!

I wish my experience was similar.. Regrettably it wasn't; I spawned in at the southern beaches of Kamenka, chased out by gunfire landing at my ankles almost every time until I reached a reasonably safe distance where I saw another player jogging down the road towards me without shoes, pants or a shirt. He wasn't bleeding but he did talk in chat a few words, his only words, "Kill me please". My first kill and only kill so far is a man who just wanted to die... I've been killed a fair few times already, mostly for approaching players, when all I required was for somebody to administer a saline bag to me and their first instinct was to blow holes in me and take two days worth of loot from my cold dead corpse.. I get the feeling after playing this game for prolonged amounts of time, I'm going to lose all faith in humanity; I'm still looking for someone who's intention is not to scratch their itchy trigger fingers.

Hey I've been around in DayZ for a few days now, I've pretty much quickly adapted to the game and I'm able to survive for days but I can't communicate well with players since they're all very jumpy and kill on site to protect their equipment; if you're interested in new mature players who are looking to move as a group, I'm interested. Edit: I'm not interested in slaughtering players unless it's absolutely necessary, I find the game has already been swarmed with bandits and I've been avoiding them for a few days now. I live in the UK but I'm often available.
