Ouch that really sucks, but this made me laugh! Sorry about the bad luck.

lol

You seem pretty well set up for the trip, but honestly most times I just run straight north. There are plenty of towns to loot all the great stuff you can get at the coast citys and you make it to the NW airfield/stary so much faster (if thats your objective).

You can adapt, there's a ton of great videos on youtube and some good threads on this forum to help you survive longer. Also, the forum is a great place to try and find some reliable people to play with so you can give that a try too, someone to show you the ropes is even better then watching/reading about it. But you are never going to get rid of the pvp, and its not likely well see an end to KOS.

I understand how you feel I guess. Personally I don't have a problem with the games pvp right now and have had way more characters last a week or two then get blasted on the coast. I mean its addressed in the FAQ on the forum here... "Q: Turn PvP Off? A: No. PvP is a core part of the DayZ atmosphere and we aren't going to restrict it. Just go inland away from the built up towns along the coast where players spawn." Remember this is a sandbox game and it is what the players make it, we might not like getting sniped on the coast, we may choose to not ever shoot unarmed players ourselves but you have to remember its their sandbox too. Id be very happy with this game right now if they just got rid of the bugs and hackers and left pvp pretty much alone. Getting murdered randomly when unarmed sucks but just join a low pop server and enjoy your (mostly) pvp free early game or just play those same servers with your friends with he same (lower) risk of pvp. And for the record while I'll shoot in a second if someone makes me feel threatened or is acting like a bandit (laying above stary sober with a sniper in a ghillie etc) I avoid players as best I can to avoid a shootout.

I play a bit, good game but my first experience was in Operation arrowhead.. first mission my team kept jumping out of the helicopter as it left, killing my whole team (as they smashed into the ground) and ending the mission. Once I got it working I really liked it though. Side note: I played dayz for a bit before I went and started playing arma. Instant reaction to my team dropping from the sky and killing themselves was to loot the bodies for supplies. LoL

Good advice, but common knowledge for most players at this point I think. Good info for new players anyway.

This is what were here for, I think this is the best zombie game I have ever played... We are here to have fun sure, but that fun has a purpose; a data mine for the devs to make a great stand alone game. The hacks, bugs, and random broken stuff may be to much for some players, and that's ok, you shouldn't play if your not having fun... but were (hopefully) working for a truly outstanding standalone game here.

I loled

Bad troll, no cookie.

Truth is, death is always one abrupt "you are dead" screen away at all times. Even the most careful survivor will get randomly killed either by bugs, hackers, or bandits.... Just stay low and make it as long as you can/have as much fun as you can...

In the last two days I found 2 tractors, an atv, and a bus (out of gas). All repaired, all mid/central map. Sometimes you just get lucky.

LoL, that is really good. You have my beans.

Happened to me tonight several times while trying to make the northeast air field. Run most of the way there, log off to have dinner, log back in in Kamenka. Run back up pretty far north then the server dies... back in Kamenka. I'm guessing its just a common bug, as I've seen several other posts on this, they'll work through it soon (hopefully). Until then Ill stick to the coast area.

Ha, good video. At least your trying.

This...

Never used it or heard anything really good about it, come to think of it I've never even run into another survivor with one. So personally, nay.

I've run around and helped a few new spawns lately without getting murdered for it. My only real strategy is to find someone unarmed or with only an axe/crowbar and only help them until we find a weapon for them, then I GTFO. The only other ways I've teamed up with others successfully in the game so far is when I play with people I know outside the game, I suppose you can try to hook up with a clan perhaps? Everyone's really suspicious of everyone else, youtube is chock full of videos of people trapping, bombing, griefing, and ganking without remorse after having been nice and friendly for the first few min/seconds. Helping others is still possible though, its just difficult, try the coast around cherno/electro for new unarmed spawns to help.

... This is what should happen, if you want to turn this game to crap. This is not other games especially warcraft, doing even some of what you suggest would take everything that makes this game special and drew in over a million players and chuck it out the window. Why would you take something that you obviously like and turn it into something you've already done? I really hope your just a troll and not serious because this is insane.

The way she goes bub.

Eat painkillers. You have the pain from getting a zombie beat down.
