After playing this game for a couple weeks consistently the only past time I have now is to respawn, grab a lee enfield/winchester and the best sidearm I can find. Then just go to cherno/electro and pvp it up until I die again. Once you get used to this game surviving is easy and all there is to do is mass player or zombie killing

I just can't find anything to do after I gear up and get my kit. Takes me about 1-2 hrs now and I'll have plenty of food/water, a decent sidearm and primary weapon with plenty of ammo for both. After this, all there is to really do is either mass kill zombies or mass kill players until I die then repeat.

The reason zombies run so fast is because they must stop to attack as Arma 2 wasn't designed with melee combat in mind. If the zombies were not blazing fast, they would never be a threat.

That was an extremely laggy stream.

Just put some loot spawns at the entrance of some houses and I would be happy.

A warrior's death.

My go-to town is Berezino, I almost always find 2-4 ALICE packs when raiding the two grocery stores in that area.

I had never built a rig but used the above new egg videos to build a PC from 1100$ worth of parts a couple months ago

I always find an over abundance of food/soda in grocery stores. Usually more than I can carry

Game is in alpha etc. etc.

**THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR INPUT AND PATIENCE** Was quickly backed up with requests and managed to help several players today. Will post again after I have helped those that asked for assistance.

Ugh, worst time to have a storm, my internet/power went out, and I am having to update on my phone. Sorry to those I was helping and those waiting to be helped. I will get back to you ASAP.

Since you are not at 12k blood, that leads me to believe you have suffered damage and your survivor is in immense pain, if you use the painkillers your character started with it should go away.

Find a major city (Elektro, Cherno, Berezino) Berezino is my favorite btw. Hit up the grocery store or restaurants (berezino has 2 of each) You'll find more food/water than you can carry. I was eating canned goods in my inventory just to get some blood points back and so I could pick up the extra food I was finding.

If I placed a tent then the server restarts, where would it go? Same goes for players that often play amongst different servers. Although it would help with the logging off one server then sneaking up to a sniper's location and logging back into the original server.

I've crouch walked through some really hairy situations and see no problem at all when it comes to starting with no weapon. Even if you did find a Lee Enfield or another common sidearm, you would still have to stealth constantly because if you pissed off and shot a Zed a whole town of them would be crawling up your ass.

by default, F key will switch weapon modes so you can throw a tin can or glass bottle. If you are really struggling with this game I suggest the Arma 2:OA tutorial mode to familiarize yourself with the game and its clunky controls.

I'm using a brand new PC I just built last month Intel i7-2600 560ti 16 GB ram I can see forever, I spot other survivors way before they see me. Upgrading your PC if you can afford it would definitely heighten your experience.

I shoot first because I'm not going to give any douchebag the chance to spend 5 seconds to kill me and take the kit I've worked on for hours.

Had to be the first time I started playing. It was at night with the dreaded 1.7.1.4 zombies. I crawled near a town, it was pitch black so I couldn't see anything, all I heard were those terrible noises the zombies made. I just logged off and waited till the next day to play...

My most recent survivor found a map and beelined to Berezino. When I got there all I had was my starter equip and a hatchet. After raiding: 3 apartments 2 grocery stores 2 restaurants 1 hospital I had: Lee enfield with 5 magazines Makarov with 3 clips ALICE bag full of food/soda and meds 2 canteens I then used my map to navigate to the airfield and logged off so I can adventure there tomorrow.

I think it is the increase in new players

I started playing in 1.7.1.4 with the crazy zombies. I still managed to find a revolver, crossbow and plenty of bolts in one of my first lives. Only thing I have trouble finding is food and medical supplies (not bandages/painkillers/heat packs)

I'm a new player, barely been playing for a few days but so far I've been able to establish myself pretty well in my last few lives. My 2nd and 3rd most recent deaths were due to glitches, no complaints, its alpha. My most recent death were from my first real player interaction. Two new completely different players happened upon me at different times while I was scrounging , I was armed with a lee enfield and .45 revolver, they both had nothing. At first I was hesitant to share but instead of killing them or shooing them off I let them have at the items I didn't want or need. But both of them turned against me as soon as they could. The first one just simply started firing on me and I turned around and killed him quickly. The second one left to find a pistol then followed me as I moved on to do my own thing, as soon as he got close enough to me he jumped me, I managed to kill this one as well but there were zombies nearby that finished me off as my legs were broke from that gunfight. So I respawned, much more distrusting and a little disheartened because I was hoping to help others out. This life I just shoot every new person I see because even if I do help them I get nothing back. I just risk my current gear. (TLDR; Can't trust or aid anyone, game forces you to just shoot whoever in the head.)
