Well I guess i did just have a stretch of bad luck on my first day in game. I played today and took everyones advice. I headed inland instead of on the coast. Found some pretty good stuff. Played for about 2 hours or so. had a fire axe back pack, pleanty of food ect. It was fun. Got the hang of killing zombies down. I evenmet a guy who was not a dick. all tho I think it may have been the fact he didnt have anything and I had an axe. Who knows. I shared some food with him and he took me to a couple of places. After we split i alt tabbed out to look at the map. Came back and a zombie had me. Oh well. Still had a good time while it lasted. Guess I will try again later. Hopefully i can find a gun! lol

Cpl- Cyberathlete Professional League. It;s a pro gaming league for sponsered players - Ya I'm a snoop. LOL -I tried to get her to make me a sandwich. I got the finger - I watched vids for 5 hours stright when I was supposed to be working. Thats the only reason I knew to do that -Fackin hacker zombies. But anyways. I am fixing to give it a try again. I didnt know that the servers reset every 4 hours. I am off today so I will see what happens. I do like the game. It is a challange. But damn. 5 hours and I didnt find shit. lol

So it is normal to run around for 6 hours and not find anything? I have read that the patch did that. Was it a goof? or is it the way they want it to be? Also when does the server re-spawn the stuff?

Just to give you some background on me. I Have been playing online games since Half-life deathmatch. I was a avid CPL torny player in bf2 and bf3 back in my early 20's. I helped test "desert combat mod" ( pre-curser to bf2) I alpha tested BF2, BF3 and BF4 not the beta crap they started to give people with bf3 when they pre order the game. Acual Alpha tested) I'm on the email list. lol. Point being. I understand alpha. Never been in a open alpha, but anywyays. Not a noob when it comes to games. Ok so I overheard someone talking about the game at work at the water cooler. Started watching some youtude vids. Decided this game was great. I really liked what I saw in the vids. I was excited to play it. Watched some guides, walk-throughs ect. hell ya. this game kicks ass! I am excited. Cant wait to get home. Get home, go straight to the game room and buy on Steam. Wife looks in the door. She has seen this look before. She knows whats up. It's gonna be a gaming night. I get game downloaded. Didnt take that long. Sweet. Installed now. open the game. Crank up the settings. Lets see what this baby look like on my rig. Find server with 14 ping and 0 people. Hell ya, damn good pings. Empty server to learn what to do. coonnect. Loads fast. I spawn. I cant see shit. It's dark as hell. WTF. Get my battery in my flashlight. This doesnt help mutch. I go crank up the brightness. Still cant see shit. Crank up the gamma. Ok the game looks like trash. Screw this. i will just go to another server. find another server. 0 players, 26 ping. Join. It's dark to. WTF. 4 servers later I relize the time thing on the server list. LOL I think. Thats cool. I will just find a daytime server. Sort by time. WTF. No day time servers that are empty. 10 or so that show up all have a high ass ping. Ok. Screw it. I gotta learn anyways. Hey wait. That server says 24/7 daytime. Join server. it's dark. WTF. Find another server that says daytime only. Join. It's night. Fuck it. Change filter on ping to 150. Find a server that is at 9:00 and has 14 people. Ping is 126. Screw it. I cant learn how to play in the dark. Join serveer. HELL YA! Game looks great during the day. Beatiful! move around in a little circle. No lag. Look at the water ( I am on the beach) Looks amazing. Ok. I am excited. This looks like a good game so far graphics wise. 125 ping and no lag still. Ok maybe the ping thing is not that bad after all. Time to figure out all the controls. Dam there is more contol sets than in a flight sim. I get the basics down. go back to my guy. I relize there is a dude by me at the spawn. I say "Hi, i have never player before. Got any tips for a noob or care to show me around" Guy says nothing. Ok must be afk. I walk around him. Just to get a good look at the character. Man it looks good. I am impressed with the graphics. Guy moves. I repeat my last statement. Guy says " Ya, dont die dude. It sucks" I say. " lol ok i figured that much" Guy runs up to me and says " here I got somthing to help you out" Hell ya. Friendy community I think. Guy starts punching me. WTF!!!!!! How do I punch. Remmeber the whole raise hands thing from a vid. Get hands up and try to punch. I miss. 2 seconds later I am knocked out. "Oh well i think. I didnt loose anything." I did learn a lesson tho. People are dicks in this game. So I respawn. I see the guy running off in the distance. Time to get the fuck away from spawn. i start moving north up the coast line. I found a map online. Looks like the coast is a good thing to follow. I am thirsty. Damn already? I havent even played for a whole 5 min. I guess you spawn thirsty. Whatever. Cant do anything about it. Start searching houses and every building I can find. Avoid all players I see and all zombies. I am getting more thirsty . I dont know how long I have been playing. Maybe like an hour or so. I cant find anything. No loot. Dang they made it seem easy in the vids. Look at map and relize there is a water source right to the west of where I am. Maybe there will be food to. my guy is bitchin about that to now. Get to the water sorce. I start drinking it up. Damn this dude drinks more than I do on a friday night at the bar. Hear a zombie. Oh shit zombie is attacking me. I haul ass. I am bleeding. Run into a building. shut the door behind me. Make sure the other entrence doors are closed. I open up invitory and take off my shirt like I saw in the vid. I drop it so I can turn it to rags. shirt diapperes. WTF. I look everywhere. It is gone. Red flash. WTF. Zombie is in the kitchen with me. How the hell? Zombies can open doors? I must have made a noob mistake and left a door open. Learning experiance I think. Haul ass out the house. Close door behind me. HA HA HA Fuck you zombie. your stuck in the house. Wrong. Zombie walks through door. Litterly walks through it. doesnt open it nothing. Like a ghost. FUCK!! I book it. Screen is going grey. I must be loosing alot of blood. Run far away. Stop to check invitory to see if my shirt happens to be in ther. Nope. It is gone for sure. I died. Damn blood loss. Oh well. almost 2 hours down the drain. I respawn. This time i go in country. There was nothing following the coast. I am thirsty. Havent even made it out of spawn. WTF. Anyways. Make it to my first town. check the whole town. nothing. Next town. Find some water but as far as loot Nothing. I am really hungrey. Third town, find a hoodie. Sweet. More pockets. I have nothing to put in them tho. looks cool tho. 4th town. I am starving now. Whoot. Found a can of spagattii. I have searched now at leat 50 houses/construction sites/campgrounds ect. No loot besides 1 hoodie, 1 can of spagatti i cant open. Apsolutly nothing else. 5th town. I find a hacksaw. Use it to open the can. eat the can. Still hungrey. WTF. Find some water. Drink. next group of buildings. Find a hat. Cool. Doesnt help me much tho. Zombie starts chasing me. I haul ass. I go at least a click away. Stop and alt tab to look at map. Alt tab back in. Same zombie is attacking me. Run some more. Stop and try the shirt thing again. it works this time. Bandage my wounds. 30 seconds later. I get shot. I'm dead. never saw it coming. never heard him. Oh well he didnt get shit from me. Time to respawn. Respawn at the same place again. Decide to go the other way down the coast. Find a big town/city. Find soda can, and cargo pants. Sweet. more pockets. Run around for 2 more hours going from town to town. I have found in all this life cargo pants, bandana, 1 bannana, 1 coke. 1 rotton bannana. man i am starving. This game is really starting to suck. 5 hours in and I havent found jack squat really in any of my lives. Walk into building. EREKA!!!! I find a shovel. My first weapon. Play with it a little bit. Run to next town. I am really starving now I think. Zombie sneaks up on me. Fuck it. i am gonna kill it. hit it a few times with the shovel. It dies. Try to loot it. it disappers. WTf you cant loot zombies. I am bleeding. Take shirt to make bandages again. It disappers. OMG. This shit again. i die. At this point i am like fuck this game. i just wasted 6 hours of my life and 30$ on somthing that is unplayable. There is no loot. There is no food, barley any water and sure as hell didnt find any of the cool gear i saw in the vids. I dont know if I was doing somthing noob, or if the game is really just that hard to play. I personally feel that if it is really just that hard to play then it's not the game for me. I am cool with dieing and loosing your gear. I am ok with the hunger, the hydration, the blood loss ect. It looks to be great mechanics of the game. But I played for 6 hours and didnt find a damn thing. How the hell are you supposed to stay intrested? Am I doing somthing wrong? I even tried a diffrent server. Same shit. IS THIS HOW IT IS FOR EVERYONE ELSE?

Is this normal or did I just pick a real shitty day to buy the game? First of all I have been playing online game since Half life death match. I am an avid gamer. Not a nood to gaming, just a nood to Dayz..I bought the game yesterday after spending the day at work watching youtube vids and reading guides. I figured I was all set to play. Bought the game, sat there and watched it download in anticipation. Actually this is the first game I have been really excited to play a game in a long time. I overheard a co-worker talking about it and after watching the vids and, I was really really excited to play. Even with the bugs and such the game looked to be great! I can fully understand the purpose of alpha, and am aware that there will be bugs and issues. Anyways, Time to learn the game and get familiarized. So I log in find a server with only 0 people in it, and a great ping of 14. I'm like hell ya. Great pings on the servers! Get in and it's dark I cant see shit. I was like fuck this, i'll just find another server. Tried 3 or 4 servers with good ping and they are all dark. Finally figure out the time thing in the server list. Start looking for a server that has a daytime "time". none are under a 100 ping that are empty. Notice a 24/7 daytime tag on a server. HELL YA!!! WHOOT! Join the server. Fuck me. It's dark to. Change the ping filter on the server list. Find one that has a ping of 126 and 10 players. Screw it . I connect. (I have read on the forums now the issues with the day/night. WTF I am in central time zone. All the servers in my area are dark when I can play. 5:50 till about 11pm on weekdays after work. Oh well. It's alpha right?) Ok so now I have a server I can see in to learn the game. Spawned on a beach. Beautiful looking. Graphics are nice. I have everything cranked up and game looks amazing in the daylight! Even with the high ping no lag. Ok this will work for me. Whoot. So I play with controls a little bit. WTF is up with the controls. There is more keys for this game than in a damn flight sim. Whatever. I got the basics. Esc back out to the game. Realize some dude is standing next to me. I say "Hi" in voice chat. Guy says hi back. I say " Hey bro, i'm new. got any pointers for a noob". Guy says, "ya, dont die" I'm like "cool ROFL ya i figure yadda yadda yadda". Next thing I know he starts punching me. "I'm like WTF bro". I cant figure out how to punch. Remember the bringing your hands up thing I watched in a nood guide vid. get a punch in before i get knocked out. Lol I think. that was fun. Whatever I didnt loose nothing. He taught me something about the game. Most people are dicks. I re-spawn. Come back to the same place. See the dude running in the distance. Ok whatever. Time to find some gear. So I figure I will just follow the coast. Looking at a map I found online the coast is riddled with a shit ton of places to loot. Start heading north. I start looking into every single building I come across. I see a player, and some zombies. I just avoid them/hide. fuck talking to people till I have something. it has been 30 min in real life. Still havent found a single thing in the game. Hey I'm thirsty. Ok that sucks. Look on map. spend 15 min finding a sign to figure out where I am at. Look back at map. Ok Cool. Water is just a couple of clicks west. Find the water spout. Drink it up. Zombie hits me while drinking Fuck i am bleeding. run away. Run into house, close door. Take my shirt off like I saw in the vid so I can make rags. Shirt disappears. Where the fuck did it go? Not on floor, not on me. Must be me being noob. Look for again, nope it's gone. OH SHIT. Zombie is in the house. WTF. It is the same one that attacked me outside. Since when could zombies open doors? Must be me being nood, must have been another door open. Run out door. Close door. HA HA HA Fuck you zombie. your stuck in the house. Zombie amazingly walks through door. Doesn't open it. Literately walks through the door. Fuck it. Time to haul ass. Get away. I'm still bleeding. My shirt is still gone. Shit is turning grey. Maybe I did something wrong. I fall out and go unconscious. Fuck it. respawn.
