I usually go by the messure of kit I've acquired, around the time I'm getting gps or nvg's. After that it's usually time to die but then I play the pvp side of things.

It's certainly a shock to the system, one round fired at Stary med tents attracted what seemed like the whole town to me. I looted NWA with a frigging axe as a pistol is way to risky but then creeping around NWA with just an axe ain't exactly risk free, especially as you go into 1st person to tip toe. You think you are gonna be shot in the back of the head any minute. The balance needed shifting, it remains to be seen if things have shifted to far to zombie survival from the pvp death match that a lot of folk like to play. So far I'm enjoying the changes. :)

It's certainly a challenge now, I got boxed in by one zombie at Stary med tents, fire one round of a 1911, head shot boom mother fucker. Suddenly I have a lot more friends.

I've got wood in Fallujah :P

Especially DMR mags

This sounds cool as fuck, it will make folk think twice about killing new spawns in Cherno. Runs off to test this with his AK and bandit scarf, expects things to end badly. :)

I wandered into the woods, West of Kamenka, walked are far as the debug plains. Walked into the debug plains, got bored and went back. Spent ages messing with my settings as something was broken, all the colour had gone, lol. Heart pounding, vision shaking (didn't know about 3rd person view) I collapsed and died in sight of Kemenka again, not far from one of the wooden shacks you can enter. Thought it was the worst game ever, went to bed one very pissed off dude.

Epic... :)

But ended up being the most unique pvp death match out there.

Not had a chance to play yet but everything I've read in the change log looks good to me.

Just play it, leave the videos and tutorials alone. Jump in and explore, die often and learn from your mistakes. Oh and welcome back from the dark side. :P

Your more than welcome fella :)

I'm afraid it's a way of life in Dayz. Some times its just folk spawning in weapons etc, other times its spawning everyone I know the air or running around with God mode on. Whitelisted servers are better but not immune. We find the best way is to kick the hacker and roll back the server. :)

Just play the game, die lots and learn by your mistakes. Honestly its the (hardest) beat way to experience DayZ.

I find the tea towel wrapped around their heads a dead give away :P

If there's more than you, shoot them If they've got a gun, shoot them. If they say friendly, shoot them If they have an axe, shoot them If they have a better gun than you, say "friendly" then shoot them (back of the head) If they seem to be dead, shoot them just to make sure. Above all else, shoot them. There are no "friendlies", only enemies with beans. :)

I was like you a pc noob just a few months ago, got DayZ and haven't played much else since. The controls just take time and tbh Dayz ain't the best game to teach you, what with perma death. You won't regret crossing over from console though. As for guns, i usual go on a quick loot run of Cherno or Electro then head for Stary med tents. It's not far to run, after that it's crash sites or NWA. On our server we have added loads more barracks around the map, makes getting geared up somewhat easier. :)

Hey Digby, where you been fella :)

Some of the Fogeyz taking revenge on guys silly enough to kill one of us! :P

I had similar issues setting up DayZ with Steam. DayZcommander really is your friend here, stick with it as while frustrating it is worth it, honest.

Armex is the best place to learn ;)

DayZcommander is the noobs best friend. :)

" a Brucey Bonus" does anyone outside the UK actually know what this is, lol.

We've been on the scout for new bandits to give us a challenge over at the Fogeyz server but few have really been up for the challenge. What do you think makes a successful bandit and why? Do you hit and run, roam in packs or sit and wait for your prey to come to you?

I think after the disaster that was WarZ, Rocket and his team have a lot more time to implement more of his vision into the SA. There really isn't anything like Dayz out there so there less need to rush it out. I do however agree slightly with Trip, there's still a need to get it to market sooner rather than later. The SA was to be more a Minecraft journey of evolution, where developers and community could watch it blossom into a great game, not some supposed AAA title you get of other developers.
