After five days of playing this, I have determined that DayZ is a marathon simulator.
CerebralZombie (DayZ) replied to wildstars's topic in New Player Discussion
At first I had to run from three aggro zombies, each at separate occasions and that was it till I'd gotten weapons/ammo and learnt how the zombies react to sound and their line of sight. I can literally crouch between two groups of zombies each 10 feet away from me on both sides. I'm in their peripherals and even their line of sight sometimes and nothing... So no, it's not a marathon! -
How long does a dead body last?
CerebralZombie (DayZ) replied to Skirata's topic in New Player Discussion
I'd hate if a a body disappeared after I killed them, not that I've ever killed an actual player or plan on it. =P -
Yeah I needed a blood transfusion, and the first two people I'd run into actually asked if I needed blood. So that really helped me out.

It may just be me, but I'm not exactly sure what your question is?

My first kill story (epic lolz)
CerebralZombie (DayZ) replied to j. patterson's topic in New Player Discussion
Not bad, not bad. :D A lot went down in such little time, haha! I've been told that helicopters aren't in DayZ yet, but then I've been told they are. I've even seen pictures, so it's cool to hear about one. -
Not everyone is a potential enemy.
CerebralZombie (DayZ) replied to mccullxch's topic in New Player Discussion
I had ran into two players that were killing a few zombies so I'd helped and said through my mic, "Friendly, friendly!" He than said, "Okay, it's cool. I'm just showing my friend the ropes." He than asked if I needed blood, and luckily I did pretty badly. So I asked what ammo he might need since I picked up a bunch on my journey and I happened to have a nice mag for his AK. He gave me a blood transfusion and I dropped the clip and we went our separate ways. I will make sure to keep cautious, but they were the first group I encountered, so lets just hope I don't trust others so easily. I am heading to Cherno, so we will see if my 3 day old character will survive the stay! Also when I first started playing Arma 3 days ago, and started DayZ. Some zombies had chased me into the ocean where I swam away. I didn't know how to go third person at the time till my brother told me 3 hours later, and I realized I had no backpack! I've had no backpack for the 3 n' a half days I've been playing, and still have not found one... -
I finally committed a murder..
CerebralZombie (DayZ) replied to CD1337's topic in New Player Discussion
Haha, that seems to happen a lot in DayZ! My character I have now, (My first character too, as I have just bought Arma II 3 days ago) which is a 3 day old character now, well 3 n' a half, and I am on my way to Cherno. So hopefully my streak doesn't end there! xD -
Faith, humanity - lost.
CerebralZombie (DayZ) replied to flawlesssoul's topic in New Player Discussion
Ouch! I've only ran into a pair a friends, where I said "Friendly! Friendly!". Than one of them said "Okay, it's cool. I'm just showing my friend the ropes of DayZ." We went our own ways and continued from there. So I have yet to encounter a bad situation with bandits! ++ Always check roofs/top areas of buildings especially in "Cherno" since people will just camp up high, just to kill other players going by. Never trust players up upon buildings! -
Using a Axe as a weapon?
CerebralZombie (DayZ) replied to thrasheaL's topic in New Player Discussion
Haha, because it's actually a modded shotgun with 10,000 swings was it? Not 100% sure on that. =P -
I'd found one out in no where, just sitting in a forest. I was pretty far from a small barn town I'd just come from.

"invalid CD key" on ARMA II Beta Patch !
CerebralZombie (DayZ) replied to davidoque's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
You just have to run Arma II. I ran Arrowhead expansion than did the patch and it worked. Not sure if I did it while the game was running or after. -
Anyone wants to role with me?
CerebralZombie (DayZ) replied to pokosa0's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
If you had only read the rules... "Please do not post about looking for other players to team up with (or announcing your clan) in the New Player Discussion area!" -
So I had bought the Arrowhead Expansion and installed the mod/patch ect, and it was my first time playing Arma at all so I decided to jump right in! I started on the shore line in the water and started my adventure, without even looking at the controls. To my left was a small town that I went near very slowly and a few zombies had seen me so I ran into the water to swim away. (Later my brother told me if you swim you usually lose you backpack, which I had...) Anyways I did a quick run through the town to find nothing except an aggro on my tail. Iran n' ran through the forest and after 15-20min or so I finally out run/lost him. 2 hours in I'd only come across a gas can n' windshield, so I ended up signing off and taking a break for the night. (Slept) Today I joined up again and went at it! My brother said I should really have looked at an online DayZ map so I wouldn't get lost and so I could find the bigger towns to get supplies such as blood packs, food, drinks, ect... Well I ended up finding some nice farm land and found a gun n' an axe which later I traded for a rifle and 20+ rounds, also a can of food and coke. So I've been playing around 4+ hours and have not died once. I do have to say I have watched a few videos including "The Days Ahead" series, and I read one forum post in this section which gave a few tips also. So for all you noobs that have or are about to give up, don't! As much as I'd love to have a group to run with I can't complain. If anyone live in the West of America/Canada and wouldn't mind a good member to add to their group just message me! I have Vent, Skype, and Mumble. Thanks for your time, CZ~

Haha, loving it!
CerebralZombie (DayZ) replied to CerebralZombie (DayZ)'s topic in New Player Discussion
Thanks for the comments, and I've played more today so here's the update! I still have no backpack, but I've gathered enough supplies here n' there and have used it too. I just found a tent with food, a hand gun, blood pack, and drinks. Oh and a watch + map! I ran into two other players that were very helpful. I gave him some ammo for his Ak and he gave me a blood transfusion. I may be a little lost but my brother said with the watch and the lighting you see on the watch works as a compass itself. I am heading now to Chernogorsk to give it a shot and meet some players. Mainly for proper supplies since I don't think I can trust many people... especially ones on higher ground. (i.e. Roof tops n' buildings. =P) I will also try some campaigns/scenarios for practice and learning as suggested, and since I've also seen a couple videos of scenarios that look very fun! I will continue my journey tomorrow, and best of luck to myself as I still continue to fight on! If I'm going to die, Chernogorsk is where I'll do it! Haha, peace! -
Haha, loving it!

Sorry about breaking the rule of finding members to group up with. This post wasn't intended for that purpose, but just a little add on. -
If you are friendly, or unarmed, please reply!

Not that I ever would log off in any situation, but can you really get permabanned for doing so? If yes, than how would you provide evidence?
