    Killing zombies

    Killed my first Zombie. Pitchfork works great! Smack in the head, dead! Having a decent melee weapon makes all the difference.

    Those Dumb Zombies !

    Thanks for that. That should be helpful...I hope. So far I'm finding that random. I have been able to trap zombies inside, and sometimes they can't come in when I go inside a building and close the door. At other times they just walk through the door. One time I had 3 outside the door. One walked in but the other two couldn't get in. The one that walked in just stood there though, and didn't attack me. The oddest thing is when one glitched into the building through the wall but didn't have no legs and couldn't attack me. It just kept bumping into me. When I walked outside it came back through the wall and had legs again. Funny, but annoying. It's an alpha, so why sweat it......

    How was your Day(Z)?

    Day 2.0 I decide to quickly book it away from the coast and find a small paved road that seems to be heading North West. I can hear gunfire in the distance so I stay in the woods and keep the path in my sights, stopping to look around every few minutes. The trip is very long, but nothing crosses my path except a deer. In the distance I can see some houses, Just before I come out of the trees a crouch and move slowly forward to look around. In the distance I see Zed. Oh crap and he sees me. I run, and zig zag. Can't shake him. So I fight, and I bleed, and I...................... Day 2.1 Some houses up ahead. I need stuff, so I investigate. First house comes up empty. I go in the second house. I hear a sound. I can see Zed out the window. I quickly close the door, but his torso comes through the wall and enters. Seems that legless Zed can't hurt me, he just bumps into me. I take a few things and go out the back door, quickly shutting the door behind me. Legless Zed comes through the wall again, but now his legs are back. In shock I hesitate, and Zed attacks. I run, but I'm bleeding pretty badly. I look back and no longer see Zed. I need to tear my shirt into rags and stop the bleeding. I grab my shirt and.......................... Day 2.2 I follow the railroad tracks to what looks like an old industrial community. Can't find a way into the large building I come upon first, but I do see a ladder to the rooftop. I climb up to get a view of the town. on the other side of building I see Zed. Damn it. I climb down and peak around the corner. Zeds cognitive skills are amazing, and quickly starts chasing me. Back up the ladder I go. I find a ladder down on the other side, and am about to just get away from there, when Zed comes running to me. How the...? and back up the ladder again I go. I go back to the other side and just stay on the ladder waiting. Zed's not coming. I go back to look at the ladder on the other side. Zed's still there. So I go back down the other ladder and head up into the town, staying on the opposite side of Zed. I cross over to go into some houses. I here Zed. arrrggghh really? I turn around and here she comes. I sprint past her, and then her again. What? Now there's two of them. And back up the ladder I go. Below I see two of them, just waiting for me to come down. I jump off the building. Goodbye cruel world................ Day 2.3 Ahead I see what looks like a little farm town.I head to the first building and look inside. I find a jacket and beanie. not in great condition, but it's something. I make my shirt into rags and I head out and peer around the corner. I see Zed in the far distance, just swaying it's arms back and forth. I wait there crouched. It doesn't move. I slowly cut across to some houses on the other Side. I hear Zed. I run through the forest zigging and zagging and put distance between me and Zed. Ahead is a small group of houses. Before opening the door I look back. No sign of Zed. I go inside and close the door behind me. I find a better hat some fresh and canned food and a wrench. I eat the fresh food and pocket the rest. I move on to the second house. I find a canteen another canned good and a pepper. I eat the pepper and store the canned good. I see a tshirt on the ground but don't have room to store it. Outside the door I see Zed. I just can't catch a break. I run out through the other door and into the next house. there's nothing in there I can use, but I figure I can trap Zed in the house. I open the door and let Zed in. He hits me and I'm bleeding. I manage to run out and close the door. he's trapped. I grab my rags to stop the bleeding. It's raining. My rags are ruined. I remember the T shirt in the other house, so I go in there turn it into rags and patch myself up. I'm alive. Think I'll rest here for the night.
  4. We would need your computer stats to really help you. Laptop or desktop? Processor? RAM? Graphics card? operating system? First thing you should check is that your Video Card drivers are up to date.

    Video Card Suggestions

    I have a stock HP P6510y. It has an AMD Athlon II x4 630 Processor (2.8Ghz) and 4GB Ram and I'm running Windows 7 Home premium.These stats are fine to run the game but the video card it comes with is rated way low on the playability scale for this game. (in fact Game Debate says I shouldn't be able to play this game at all, but I can, though in Crap Mode). The video Card is an ATI Radeon HD 4200. In any case, does anyone have any video card suggestions based on experience that will run this game well? Please include Power supply necessary to run it as I have to upgrade that too no matter what card I buy. (Came with a 250w) Click to view detailed Motherboard information.

    How was your Day(Z)?

    LOL, ya I was trying that couldn't seem to shake him no matter what I did. Damn things move to fast. Thought I had ditched him and was searching through a building and he ran right into the building. I died and respawned in a different server. Had one after me before I could even get to a building. 2 more started chasing me as I ran from the first. oh well, it's just my first Day. It'll get better, right guys?......right??? On a better note I did find, after many settings changes, a decent balance of playability and graphics quality, despite my ancient GPU.

    How was your Day(Z)?

    Bad Day 1. Started out good. Found a gun and a jacket with 4 pockets, a helmet, a sickle, a canteen and lots of food and drink. Then I did something stupid and fell off a building. Broke my leg. I gave some passerbyers my shoes and they fixed up my leg. Then shot me as I left! WTF??? Now I have nothing and I keep spawning close to Zombies. How do you get rid of them? I can't figure it out. Can't kill them with just my fists. And they won't stop chasing me. oh well, tomorrows another day.

    Video Card Suggestions

    Budget is irrelevant. It's more like upgrading to a card that makes sense with this PC. I haven't used a computer for gaming in years, and I'm only doing so because I'm interested in this game. I would really rather not buy a new computer if I can help it. This computer works just fine for the things I usually do with it. As far as power supply I am looking at the Corsair cx600

    Leaning to the R7 260 so far. Got good reviews on Amazon. Playing with what I have now is giving me motion sickness ....
