Wow yeah, I'm starting to realize this. I feel like a week or two ago I could sneak in and out of anywhere without having to crawl or move at a super slow pace. Now it seems like I better have a damn good reason to go in some place because it seems pretty hard to avoid aggro these dayz.
Yeah good point. You don't have to sink months of playtime in this to get sweet loot. All you need is decent skill and a little luck. Its not really a grind fest like most other games these days.
Thanks guys! I don't know the answer to this but I do know I just really enjoy making the videos as well as watching other peoples. I always though it was cool to be able to see how other people are handling certain situations differently than me in games. Plus sometimes for me its just cool to chill back and watch someone play over playing myself. I can't speak for everyone though and I can definitely see people not being in to this type of thing. Exactly what got me in to DayZ :D I never heard of DayZ OR Arma II until I saw a couple videos on it and I instantly fell in love with it. Its such a different experience from anything else out there.
I've been doing some "Let's play" style of DayZ videos. I'm not in the NW Airfield or rolling with a huge group sniping out players. I'm just solo trying to survive! If you want to check it out, here is my latest video. Enjoy!
The difficulty of the zombies seems fine but the aggro range seems random as hell. It seems like sometimes they can aggro right through walls or even before they are loaded on my screen from miles away.
I've played a lot but I always seem to have the same results. I keep finding the same few guns, most likely the most basic ones. Sometimes I can live for long periods of time but I still never find all these high powered rifles I see people running around with so eventually its only a matter of time before someone takes me out. I made it to the NW airfield once and only lived for a minute or two. lol Here is a video of me playing If you want to check it out and tell me where I should be going or what I could do better.
Do you think I'm wasting too much time at the coastal cities and should just try my luck moving more north again or is it just all luck on what you can find? If so I've just had pretty bad luck I guess! Anyways thanks!
