Sashiku

My friends and I decided we wanted to all get DayZ because it sounded like fun to play together. None of us like PVP, and we mostly just wanted to explore around with eachother. it took us 3 REAL LIFE days to find each other. Finally this evening, we were in the same town, but before we could meet, my friend died. It is IMPOSSIBLE to meet friends because no matter how hard you try, you will end up either dead before meeting, or end up at opposite ends of the continent. There NEEDS to be a way to find friends easier, This is something that is NOT optional in game we play. I'm poorly sighted so I have the hardest time surviving very long. Therefore, I'm usually the one who is told to hide out in a building and just wait for my friends to arrive, which just never happens. There are three reasons why: People kill them on sight in supposedly friendly servers. Zombies can go through the damn walls. Zombies are like super overpowered especially when you first spawn in and have nothing. No map system that is easy to find/use. We had to rely on the direction of the sun to find eachother and it literally took us 3 days to get to eachother through all this. Sigh... I do NOT wanna play this with a bunch of dicks who just want to shoot me on sight. I want to play with my friends. I'll just come back in a few months to try again. Love the game, hate the difficulty. Maybe they'll add a casual mode for more creative people to enjoy. The last small rant I will leave you with is the lack of headshots on zombies. In most zombie games, if you hit it in the head 1-2 times it's dead. Just sayin.

I actually did play that game when it came out years ago. Not enough blood.

THanks for the support. ^^ They both quit but I'm still playing. They may play again the near future though. One quit because of her RL situation. The other is just plain annoyed. It doesn't bother me anymore, I have been using the tops handed down to me on this post and I've gotten better at surviving. :)

I did research. I watched many playthroughs, read reviews, etc. I decided to go for it anyway because it sounded interesting. is there something wrong with trying something new? I like most aspects of the game and I'm sure they will improve it a great deal before it's completed.

Read my other posts before posting things of this sort. I stated before that I was not really the one traveling. I'd find out where I was and the other girls would travel to me. Age does not matter. I suppose people don't see the point in teaching half blind kids how to read maps.

:O Oh wow! Thanks so much! This will help loads! ^_^

I wasn't the one finding anyone. They were coming to where I was. You should read all my posts before you start slapping down negative opinions. My second friend didn't try to join me till day 2, and she had no idea how to play. My first friend was pregnant and afk a lot, plus she didn't know how to play either. We're going to try again but please remember that saying negative things has repercussions. And for the record, I know all about signs and such. Please, read my other posts.

Perhaps you should read all my posts. I state that I enjoy zombie games, but I'm more a strategist than a combatative type. I like a little bit of challenge, but I don't like it if it's extreme. DayZ is interesting to me beacuse I can create stories for the character I create for fun, tell her story and draw pictures around it. Zombie and survival games are definitely my favorites because they are very strategic and fast paced usually. This game piqued my interest because one can find others and perhaps form a group, there will be others who want the things you have, and then of course I hope they allow your group to inhabit places. That would be nice.

The bugs don't bother me so much, I just really prefer to play games with people I know.

Thanks. :) We will try again when we can. If it was easier to see the zombies coming I'd probably have a chance, but I tend to die very easy because of that. Poor vision + Zombie = run away xD

Oh, I take no offense. I was just a bit angry and kind went off in the post. No biggie. :) We will probably try again tonight using some of the tips provided. ^_^

yes I know, but after a few times of doing this, your screen turns grayish. If you get into too many fights with zombies and lose too much blood, you can die very easily.

o_O Actually she's a rabbit. I like anime a little, but only the clean anime. Only complaining because I am hoping somebody will listen in the future. I am not giving up on this game, so getting some frustration out will help me a bit. xD

:) Thanks for your consideration. We did most of those things, following the coast, watching the sun, I learned all the controls within around 15 minutes so it was all good. xD My two friends asked me at first. I don't see well but I can learn things very fast you see. We were trying to meet up in Novoselky but one of my friends kept dying, the other kept getting lost. She ended up in Chernogorsk

lmao xD Yea, Spawn location would be good, at least maybe group spawning or something. Not sure how fun it'd be to spawn with all that stuff. :P Gimme an axe and I'm good. I prefer bows though.

:P We have been trying for 4 days. Plus I don't see so well so it's harder for me to do things. I mostly like games for their creative side and not like hardcore live or die kind of things. I'm hoping there can be more than just regular and hardcore. Casual please ^u^

yes I know. It's not so easy with 2 or 3. Plus the blood loss while traveling makes it extremely difficult. Especially since we mostly play on empty servers so nobody can KOS us. I may be somewhat new to this game, but I learned all the controls in the first 15 minutes, and learned a lot about the game on the first day. I don't know everything, but I think I know enough.

It becomes a bit more difficult when you have eye problems.

yea, I know. I felt that way for the first 2 days. After about 500 deaths and extreme frustration, I just couldn't take it anymore. I know it will be awesome when we do meet up, but then eventually one of us will die, and it will just start all over again. x.x;;

I already know how to play. I do really well finding things and such, but I like exploring mostly, and doing fun things. I like the whole Idea of the game and mostly everything so far, I just wish It was easier to find them is all. I don't mind occasional zombie fights either, they creep me out and get my heart pumping hahaha. As for PVP, I haven't PVPed yet and I'm in day 4 of play. Everyone I have met so far has been kind to me. Plus I Mostly play in friendly servers. :P I am a bit of a chicken though, I am too afraid to go look for my friends so they always come to where I am ^^; I don't see so well so I die pretty easy beacuse I can't see what I am doing. Exploration and creating stories for my character is where my joy comes in. This character has no identity, no story, it's up to me to give her one. :)

We tried all spawning in the same area, never happend. Half of the first day was spent killing ourselves to find each other.

I have played so many zombie games in my life, I could be considered the zombie game queen by now. I don't mind finding people, I mean I had to find them both in MInecraft and other games, but non took 3 real days which is time I don't have to waste on it.

We use online maps and skype. I am not joking about it either. We spent 3 REAL days searching for each other. We had to go by the direction of the sun to find each other, and it was not very easy to use. IRL you would know something about where you live and most likely your friends would have adresses/celphones/some sort of way to contact others. I know celphones would eventually stop working, but still. I do not enjoy playing scary games alone. They freak me out too much.

We did use that map, we used signs + the direction of the sun to guide us, but got lost very often. I can't even count how many times my friend Joan completely missed Novoselky and ended up in Chernogorsk or Dubky. I know they're gonna fix most of it, I am just very frustrated because of all the time we've put into just finding one another and it just doesn't work at all.
