AMF3 18 Posted October 19, 2012 Been crawling on my belly since I started. No idea how to use anything, no idea the detection radius for zeds, passed up a military base because I was pretty sure I'd be done in my first 5 min if I tried looting it, almost got caught by a monkey but managed to close a door on him, finally found my first weapon (m16a2), no idea what in the hell I'm doing. This is awesome. I'm gonn shit when I run across my first player and have to decide what's the best thing to do. 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnnyBoy53 3 Posted October 19, 2012 Nice first weapon find! I was in the same boat as you. With each life you gain more and more knowledge of how to survive. Most fun i've had in a game for a while. Oh yeah, my first weapon was the lee enfield. Had no idea of the amount of zombies it would attract until i fired it. I died after Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AMF3 18 Posted October 19, 2012 I've been trying to talk some of my friends into getting gaming pcs but we're all console guys. I just happened upon this game in an article and knew there wasn't anything like this on consoles. They're definitely missing out. I researched it here on the forums to check out the game and the community around it and for the most part you guys all seem cool and positive with each other. Made my choice to get the pc much easier. Hope to run into some of you guys in game sometime. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bombolz (DayZ) 23 Posted October 19, 2012 I believe this is in the wrong section of the forums, I don't really see any suggestions here. If your gonna post this kinda stuff, post it in the other section. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ElysionField 7 Posted October 19, 2012 If you are from America, run toward the direction that is perpendicular to the ocean. Don't go left or right unless you want to get shot.If you are from Australian or New Zealand, congratulations. follow the railroad until you reach a big city then ask anyone for help. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sula 1205 Posted October 19, 2012 (edited) Welcome to dayz, AMF3! What a fantastic first weapon! Mine was a makarov, totally useless. I still remember the first time I ever played. My god I was sick with anticipation, fear and excitement. I remember shaking as I signed out in Elektro that first night. Great stuff. Have lots of fun and ask if you have any questions. Remember, you're going to die - a lot - so enjoy yourself! :thumbsup: :beans: PS. Elysion, what? Heheheh! Edited October 19, 2012 by Sula Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spandex 5 Posted October 19, 2012 I'm gonn shit when I run across my first player and have to decide what's the best thing to do.Be nice. We already have plenty of bandits and kill-on-sight dudes. Some more friendlies would be nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMF3 18 Posted October 19, 2012 I creeped out to the woods avoiding a bunch of zombies by an airfield and logged out haha. I'm still trying to figure out the icons on the HUD to figure out what I've gotta scavenge for. I'm not planning on going hunting for players or anything. I'd definitely rather do the friendly thing. I think I'm gonna hang back if I see someone though. The whole never knowing who's going to take a shot at you is part of the excitement I saw on the vids of the game. I'm just going to be low key for a while. Besides the mouse thing is killing me so I doubt I could hit someone if I shot at them haha. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
