Hey guys, So after stumbling across some Let's Plays of DayZ I went ahead and bought the game & have thoroughly enjoyed the past week or so, but I seem to have hit a wall. The first 20+ hours were exhilarating! The zombies, the loot, the uncertainty, the threat of death looking around every corner, the actual death looming round every corner, the bugs (f@king ladders!), unexplored terrain, broken legs etc. etc. made for a thoroughly engrossing experience, but my current character has somehow managed to survive to the stage where I've got... Well, pretty much everything. Ok, I could do with a couple more attachments to my gun but for what it's worth it feels like there's little reason. And this leads to the crux of my post: Where do I go from here? Zombies don't pose a threat to me, I've sufficiently geared up (food, meds, guns, ammo etc.) and, granted I've not explored the entire map yet, I feel I need another 'goal'. I don't seem to be coming across many other players - Most servers I've played on have a population of 20-25 and even in the bigger cities/'danger zones' I can count one hand the amount of times I've encountered another player, and even then only twice has there been any meaningful interaction: once axing off zombies chasing some random guy and the other being shot in the back (I think!) looting a fire station. Am I missing something? Is there somewhere I should be heading? What would you recommend I do next? I'm half-tempted to suicide & go through the motions again for what it's worth. PS: I've not got a headset -yet-. Buying the game was something of an impulse buy, but if it adds to the enjoyment of the game I have no problems picking one up. Is it worth it? PPS: Also well-aware there's a lot missing from the game as it stands, but am reading stories of people surviving for days/weeks: What do these guys do to keep entertained?
