Arkham

Ok, so maybe 'quests' is not a good term, but events that happen within the game that will give people who have the essentials down something to do. As a quick example, how about a 'boss' zombie spawns in electro, drawing massive hoard of zombies towards him and rampage through wilderness? Killing him gives unique items?

I guess but thats not exactly a thrill. Once you get past the initial hardness of the game the difficulty falls off dramatically. Zombies, once a major source of fear, now become an irritant. I know its alpha and a lot of features are not implemented, but I may take a 3-4 month vacation from the mod while more stuff is built in. I dont want to play it to death and get bored of it and miss when all the cool stuff comes out.

So I'm fairly well equipped now, and zombies don't really scare me any more. I can sneak around them fairly well, and if i do manage to aggro them I'll simply run into buildings and pop them once in the head with my AK. I have a canteen that i can refill as needed, a hatchet, matches and a hunting knife so food isnt a problem any more. So what else is there to do now, PVP? If i want to PVP, i'll play a vanilla ARMA2 map. Are we going to get missions and things zombie specific to do, such as "rescue the farmers daughter" or things like that? Because right now, once you are past the very hard noob stage and get decent gear, the mod looses its excitement.

you are probably better off getting into the habit of putting a tent on the game map instead of off, because you never know if they are going to set up something that wipes clear all objects off the map.

I got some out of the deer stand in Msta.

yeah, basicly unless you have a GPS you will need to figure out where you are in the game, then find a secure place to pitch your tent.

yeah, thats annoying, isnt it. They need to implement a 'drink from well/pond' option. And why can't i use empty soda cans i find all over the place to hold water?

yeah, because there is absolutely no way we could lose one.

Did you get shot through a window or door?

Also, i HIGHLY HIGHLY advise you to read this before playing again, simply because it will help a lot with the frustration of learning the game. http://dayzwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=A_Beginners_Guide

You need to find a morphine injector. Depending if you have a lot of stuff or not it may be better for you to just start a new char than crawl around for ages looking for one.

How much food and drink?

I too have noticed that in residential buildings and farms the majority of the stuff i find is either trash loot, or chemlights/flares. Its very hard to find drink and food, let alone medicine. Bandages are not terrible to find, so thats something.

I guess we are all

Being that I was in the middle of nowhere and it would take me ages to get to town, i just opted to respawn a new character. Annoying too as i finaly got a rifle and some decent gear. *grump*
