Prnkstr (DayZ)

Yes the Z are glitchy, but this...is....ALPHA!!!! If you don't want to deal with the z and want a straight up shooter go play cod instead. I honestly prefer having the z around....creates a nice bufferzone between me and morons like you...

Ill be there:) This is so happening...

+1 for Star Wars reference:) But yeah...unless you know the guy behind the other screen, avoid them like the plague...

Greetings the lot of you... A 27 year old from Oslo here, and I'm kinda looking for someone like minded to play with as well. Playing the lone wolf roaming the countryside for stuff is fun and all, but I would love to actually team up with someone, and I've been far to paranoid to just group up with strangers in the game so far. Whenever I see people, I tend to back out as stealthily as I can... Traits: - Paranoid carebear....if you are in my good zone, you're golden:) - Can play pretty much anytime this summer and plenty of time to spare should we decide to stick together come fall - Have a good mic and a stable internetconnection. - Decent lay of the land when it comes to the dayz map after spending too many hours just flying around in a heli for fun in Arma2. - Fairly decent fps player... - ...but patient enough to spend 40 minutes stalking and sneaking into a potential hostile zone. - Speaks English and Norwegian... So if this looks good just let me know:)

There is no "auction house" or "vendors" in the game at all. The closest you could come to "selling" stuff would be to do an actual trade with other players. Be warned though, they are just as likely to shoot you and take your stuff instead of trading with you...

I have no problem with suppressed weaponry having a limited ammo supply as supposed to regular firearms. The amount of advantage they have warrants the drawbacks otherwise they would be silly op.

So freshly spawned new players are advised to run into the nearest city? Only if you have a strong deathwish.

http://teamfackin.com/moocow/dayz/map/ This map will help you out. Oh and another thing. If you are serious about playing this game, fire up arma 2 armory and play with the helicopter and just fly along the coast and everywhere else to get a better lay of the land....

New as well and I went with a different approach...instead of running into a town filled with who knows what, I run the other way, to the hills and the forest...less z, less people and less chance of dying. Granted, the loot is slim pickings, but I'm told you are able to get by... This is not a game where you are supposed to play rambo running around with a m60...but something all together more magical and fun:D

Ok...no guns to start with and eagle eye z... ... at least give us one can of soda or something drinkable...finding a bottle of water or even an empty one should not be that hard. Dying of thirst in a rainstorm next to a water pump is not really realistic, nor fun...

Tried the game out for the first time today and I have to say it's one of the best horror games/d-day sim I've played so far. It's a lot different from the old flashpoint/Arma2 gameplay, but knowing the controls and actually being able to read a map made things easier. Though a couple of things was a bit frustrating. - Spawning at a place where I get a z running after me even after I have moved within the first 10 seconds was pretty gnarly. It did not help that I had no way of defending myself apart from running. Thankfully, the z tripped or something after a good 5-10 min of chasing me and died. Those little monkey ones are waaaay easier to loose. Should not be spawning z so close to the starter area imo... - The lack of starter gear...I'm all for not starting out with any weapons, but a bandage and some pills? Thirst inadvertently killed me [in what seemed like a tropical rainstorm non the less], as I become desperate when the water symbol started flashing. I finally found a can of pepsi, but with a z at the bottom of the stairs it was basically game over at that point. Before that I searched 3 deerstands and a small shack and had glowsticks, various ammo, pills, a heating pack and other useless items....but is it too much to ask to start with a canteen or a can of soda? With that being said, I cant wait to try again:)
