Well, there is PvP. No other zombie game has that. That causes about 95% of paranoia and suspense. Player confrontations are the most intense situations I have ever been in. Not even in real life have I ever experienced heart-throbbing, hand-shaking situations like I do in DayZ.

Yes, a board would be a waste of money in your current situation.

It looks like it's just based on the coast.

Me and my cousin have been scaveging Chernogorsk for roughly 5 hours, and neither of us have died. I have an AKM with two mags, a Makarov with a ton of mags, a compass, map, watch, wood pile and matches, hunting knife, tool box, binoculars, and a ton of other good tools. I have plenty of food and drinks and medical supplies. My cousin has a Winchester with 3 mags and an M1911 with a couple mags. He also has plenty of food, drinks, medical supplies, and tools. We are starting to head inland after reaping Cherno's many benefits. What should we be looking for on our way to NWAF? Are we set to venture there, or should we be aiming for something else? Better primary weapons? A sniper maybe? Thanks for any input!

This is exactly what I was thinking. Rocket should make a section in the forums for posts like these.

I do have a toolbox. It seems that I have enough to head there, so next time I play I will be heading that way.

It fucking killed me to let that beast go, but I had to do it as well. I had no ammo for it, and there was an AKM with some ammo.

Zombies aren't vampires... why would the be attracted to blood? They're attracted to flesh.

Yes, I am referring to the other players there. I know that the key is to be stealthy and alert, but I want to know if I am okay if a confrontation arises. I have plenty of morphine, blood bags, and painkillers. Tons of bandages as well. I am just worried about my ammo. I have two clips for my AKM. Is that enough? I have a ton of Makarov ammo, but the Makarov is not really preferred.

I have a few questions. Let me start off by saying this night was the best night I have had in a while. It was full of suspense, thrills, chills, and everything you could ever want in a horror game. I finally decided to play with someone I know in real life, and we have been alive for about 5 hours. We logged off for the night. We spent all 5 hours raiding Cherno, shooting people, and helping others. It's amazing how a video game can provide me with the best night I have ever had. Here are my questions: 1) How do I easily switch from one bag to another, without losing all the loot in the bag I am ditching? 2) How come when I shoot a player in the head, he goes unconscious? I was point-blank range and shot this guy in the face with an MP5SD. I thought I had killed him, but I guess he was just unconscious and logged out while laying on the ground. The same thing happened with another guy. I shot him in the back with a shot gun. He logged out as well. How are these shots not straight up killing those players?

I don't think he is referring to hackers. I believe he is referring to the kids who think this is a Deathmatch game more than a survival game, and shoot anyone they see.

This is exactly what I didn't want to do when I first started playing. I would tell myself that I will not become a Deathmatch player. Unfortunately, everyone else is and it's impossible to survive in cities if you try to be friendly.

In my opinion, players are supposed to be a bigger threat than zombies. The zombies aggro way too easily now. I can't even get through Cherno without aggroing a ton of zombies, and that's just from crouch-walking.

Using the L85 to spot, then switching to the sniper to kill is an excellent strategy. Also, the L85 was removed on accident. That means it was removed on purpose. Which means it was an accident.

If I had my good computer with me, I would definitely make an attempt to fetch ya some morphine and give ya a transfusion. Hope you make it out okay.

Yes, this is normal. Players don't spawn with guns anymore. And most buildings are not interactive, meaning you can't go inside. With more play time, you'll start to recognize the buildings that are accessible. It seems as though the zombies' senses are a little overpowered with the new update. Hopefully this will be fixed soon.

Yeah sure, no problem.

Every time I walk into Cherno as a fresh spawn I get killed within minutes, and my body isn't even looted. I was crouch-walking down a street, and the next thing I know I'm on the ground and a guy with a hatchet is walking away from my body as the "You Are Dead" screen fades in. I've been shot multiple times from who-knows-where. There is literally a single bandage and a single painkiller to be gained from killing me. So your statement "Most of them aren't dicks out to shoot you" is false. Most of them are. Some of them aren't.

I completely despise how you just kill players for no reason, but that was some damn good shooting. You are an artist, sir.

A trip to the hospital isn't that quick with a broken leg...

You answered your own question. Military loot. You can't get military-grade weapons anywhere else in the game. It is very rewarding to go North if you can survive.

Hello Mr. Bandit.

Rave on.

Try the Survivor HQ or Bandit Campfire, depending on your play style. If you are uncertain of the path you would like to take, the New Player Discussion offers a broader groups.

That's not a very helpful suggestion. Instead of learning how to play and bettering yourself for future developments of the game, you suggest that he just abandon the game entirely so he can come back and be in the same circumstance, still with no knowledge on how to play? Before 1.7.2, it was actually possible to navigate a village/town without aggroing every zombie even when crouch-walking. The zombie behavior needs to be corrected asap. Spawning without a gun was implemented a while ago. You were probably watching videos from March or April.
