    So yesterday was my first on DayZ, played about 4-5 hours worth to try and get to grips with it. Now I'm happy to deal with the games problems itself, after all it is an Alpha game, but my general game experience hasn't been overly great. Now I know bits about DayZ, and it's layout from watching FrankieOnPCin1080p as I've been stuck in bed for the last week.

    Now I've come over from playing Infestation: Surviour Series, so maybe I'm comparing it too much to that. But my first problem I found is that I have no map. Now I spent most of my time wandering around looking for where the hell I am, and while I found the maps online useful, I couldn't get a clear representation of where I was. When I finally found 3-4 map segments, I found that I couldn't pinpoint my location, which was a pain. I ended up running around until I found the coast, then walk all the way down to the broken ship so that I could find exactly where I was. Was a bit of Argo but I guess I'll get used to it.

    My second problem is that every player is shoot on sight. Now I know the point is you can't be shot if you can't be seen, however when a new player has no gear, I don't see the point in scouting around until I've found something worth while. There have been a few times where I've gone into a house, looked around, found nothing and then someone snipes me as soon as I step out the door. Now I haven't got a microphone which doesn't overly help as I have to type to talk to people. But even just one experienced player stopping and giving new players a hand or bit of advise would be really good.

    My last point, which I expect to be down to the fact thst it is an Alpha game, is that there really aren't many Zombies. I think in my total playing time I came across maybe 5? Now I'm happy with that if I'm just wandering around the woods, but when in cities I thought there would be massive hoards! As said, I presume this will be added in when the game is finished and ready for a proper release, but at times I just want a zombie to give me some company.

    Anyway off I go to play some DayZ, maybe my 2nd day will be more successful.

    Peace.

     

    I haven't been shot on sight but I found pressing f1 when you do see a player very handy for example I was looting a hospital and going upstairs I bumped into a guy who had his gun ready we were both scared I pressed f1 and he replied with the same I then followed his direction telling me to wait until he leaves I go to the roof watch him leave then set off myself.

     

    I am going to get a better mic I don't have a good one but some people will just shoot on sight for no reason.

    Okay so I arrived in Gorka and I saw a player I asked if he was friendly and he said "yes" then he pointed his gun and said "though I would like your axe" and I was not intent on giving him it I made my biggest mistake...I ran now I had a shotgun on me so what I SHOULD have done is go along with it and shoot him sadly that didn't happen.

     

    He shot me in the leg and I was scared for my life having spawned in Vybor and was heading to Berezino to meet some players and I didn't want to die so I gave him my axe (and my backpack) the jerk then he did something that kind of made me happy he gave me a splint and healed me up I then ran off in fear.

     

    Thanks robber your a jerk but I like you.

    After hours of walking I finally met a player he was fleeing from a zombie so to show I was not a bandit I killed the zombie and asked if he was friendly he quickly fell onto the ground and was dying I was instantly on the case to help this player (who was also new) up onto his feet.

     

    I asked "what's wrong" and he replies "I'm hungry" so I force feed him some Tuna and beans yum and checked his pulse it was strong and he was unconscious so since I was still new I guessed he was going to be fine but he said "I had eaten a rotten potato" so I don't know if that killed him or not but he died in the end :(.

     

    I took his canteen (WATER AT LAST) and carried on my way I salute you Sean and pray that your next spawn ends up close to me.

    I just got DayZ and now that I have a better understanding of the controls I'm ready to have some fun on a full server...why are the servers all boring?

     

    I was expecting bandits and people and I can't find a good server whenever I join one they restart and then I have to find another and that one restarts can anyone help me out?
