I've been playing DayZ for couple of days and I'm currently looking for a group or perhaps a clan to join because I wanna try something new(been playing lone wolf style only so far). I'm mature 16 years old with teamspeak.
I don't really try to interact with other survivors unless I know who that is. From my earlier experience: helping someone=bullet in my back. Also it happens to me pretty often that I manage to get myself some really decent gear and when i see someone I'm simply so scared of losing my hard earned gear that I just mindlessly pull the trigger and shoot anyone even if he's got only a flashlight in his hand.
There was actually a recent forum changeover and lots of links are dead for now. Hopefully they will fix that. Yes the binding in Arma 2 was always kinda weird atleast for me. Just keep trying eventually it will work.. probably.. You have to first find yourself a map then you can use it. You should see your axe if it's off your toolbelt and you can actually attack with it. Probably just a bug. Try to reequip it.
Well when you're sneaking to a zed from behind it notices you before you're actually able to strike. But it doesn't like immediately hit you or run towards you but it actually turns around to face you and that takes some time and that's good time to strike. Also sometimes when it turns around it doesn't run towards you but it tries to actually circle you and attack you from behind sou you can get lucky and hit it first while it's doing that. Also the axe is buggy and simply sometimes it hits sometimes it doesn't.
Well earlier you would get a bandit skin for killing certain amount of players so everyone would know what kind of bitch you are. Right now I'm not really sure if there are any negative effects for being a no reason player killer.
