Just another New Guy

[twelfthsense 7]

Hi all. my Name is Jeremy. You'll get to know me as "Ghoast" or, "The Ghoast".

I'm Brand new to ArmA II, and DayZ, and by that, i really mean im a new born survivor. haven't played ArmA II, nor DayZ before, so, i'm guessing you'll all get a free kill or 2... ...or 200 outta me. however,

just dropped by to say hi, and hope to see you all ingame over time! :D

Stay Alive my friends

Don't worry a lot of the players out there are just as new as you!

BAMBIS!!!!!!! :D :D

Hi Ghoast! Welcome to DayZ. Oh boy you are in for a double treat. First, you're about to go through the initiation of being tormented by repeated death that everyone goes through when they first play DayZ, and then you have the added joy of experiencing Arma, which I came to the same way as you, to get DayZ.

Being new to both is a little bit more of a challenge. My tips for when you first spawn are:

C to stand up (and be easier to see), X to crouch lower (but it's slower than C when you run) and Z to go prone and crawl. Double tap Shift to toggle run/walk. Mix 'em up and stay clear of those zombies!

First things to do are find a hatchet, then hit G and right click on the hatchet. Select, "Remove from toolbelt". When you close your inventory the hatchet will be in your hand but you have to "load" it by hitting R. It is not a fast repeater. You get one shot and then there's a delay! So hit zombies a second before you think you should.

Then look for cans of food and water, a hand gun and or rifle - some are worse than others for noise, and attracting more zombies! Good luck and feel free to ask questions. :thumbsup:

Stay away from the trolls, they are hungry, and they eat bambis.

EDIT: Don´t listen to Sula, she´s making an evil plan.

it wont work for me :'( byebye chopper ans as50 and ghillie and NV goggles. and my precious beans and rangefinder :c

[Sula 1205]

I just realised what you meant. That's called combat-logging and it's banned because it's considered cheating! So, sadly, no you can't alt-f4 anymore. To stop players doing it they go into "combat mode" and can't leave until that ends. It's on a timer after shots then it counts down for about 20 seconds and you can then leave.

I think you've severely misunderstood the appeal of this mod then, as well as the kind of experiences it's supposed to generate. In that case, I suggest you get your expectations in check, quickly. Best of luck.

Welcome to the game. Enjoy your stay. Please don't combat log with Alt+f4 because that is for the weak players; take your lumps and learn from each and every death you have.
