    Spawn in the wilderness?

    .martin replied to justiceabove's topic in New Player Discussion

    Thanks man! I followed the clouds and got back in, ran for about 5 min.

    I started playing a couple of days ago and instantly fell in love with the hatchet. The silent nature of the weapon was what attracted me the most (and I really don't mind 1shot-1kill.) I tried using guns, but they always seemed to aggro zombies and send them flying at me from everywhere. I am usually always in control of a situation with the hatchet. I really want to start carrying a primary weapon because I want to start venturing into military areas where there might be other players who want to kill me, but I'm genuinely afraid to carry a weapon because they're so freaking loud and dinnerbell-like to the zombies. With the increased aggro range of zombies, I'm even more afraid of running around with one of them extreme noisemakers. Are guns really that loud? Will they aggro a whole town if I start picking off the zombies in my path? Am I just being a big sissy? [EDIT] If only the hatchet wouldn't replace my primary weapon... *drool*

    I can't chat.

    Maybe your mic isn't working properly? AFAIK there is no way to check ingame.

    How many bullets can you usually take before you drop? Is the weapon damage on the wiki reliable? I was jumped by a guy today. He missed his first shot, then I hit him 6 times on his body with a PDW, but he still didn't drop...

    It seems whatever I do (crouch-walk or prone slowly) zombies ALWAYS aggro, even through walls and when I'm going through buildings. I just started playing yesterday, but I have been watching others playing this game since it was released. It seems like they get away with crouch-running through cities and they can even prone a couple of meters from a zombie without aggroing. Has something changed recently? This is so frustrating...

    Does a dropped item such as a weapon stay on the ground forever (until a server reset or something), or will it disappear? If it disappears, how long does it usually take?

    Is sneaking around zombies worthless?

    .martin replied to .martin's topic in New Player Discussion

    Thanks guys, and great post, Rocket! The line of sight was something I didn't really think about. I admit I'm getting a little impatient proning around all the time, I shall try taking it even slower. :)

    Hatchet is overpowered but necessary

    .martin replied to SpeechMan's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion

    I started playing yesterday and I also found the hatchet to be the ultimate zombie slayer (as long as you're stocked up on morphine!!!). The way I roll now is that I run around with a main weapon in hand, but when I'm clearing a barn or running through a zombie infested area I always drop my weapon a safe place and bring out the hatchet, then after the massacre I go back and pick up the weapon. It's kinda tedious, but it saves ammo and makes me more stealthy.
