DemonGroover 8836 Posted January 16, 2013 So what 3 things or rules do you try to abide by when playing DayZ. Mine:1. Always try to find a hatchet first2. Never kill a player without reason3. Try and stay around Cherno and Elektro, sometimes out to Balota.That's what i do nowadays anyway. Yours? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kprstac@gmail.com 4 Posted January 16, 2013 Run into nearest city.Run around to find items.Then proceed north,my usual path leads trough Zub Castle to Stary Sobor,then NW airfield. Or Berezino then Krasnostav and NE airfield. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Josh225 129 Posted January 16, 2013 I find it disappointing that most of mine are about KoS.1. Never shoot an unarmed without reason2. Do not ever turn my back to another player.3. Get away from the coast as soon as i'm able Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*Exile* Sami 188 Posted January 16, 2013 1: Always shoot on sight, unless there un-armed.2: Never take/Drink Mountain dew3: Always make my camp on Solchiny island (Sorry for butchering the name) And once i get a pbx, its basically the best spot. I had a camp there on a server with 20+ average and my camp wasnt found for 2 months ( I left the server so its probably still there xD) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
son54 78 Posted January 16, 2013 I like dayz, the action movie, not dayz, the walking simulator1. Never trust a random as a partner, only if they have proven themselves to be friendly, resourceful, and interesting2. Bandit = shoot. I don't want to hear your storys of "it was in defence" Oh yeah? I have 30k+ humanity, and I have shot a very fair amount of aggressive survivors3. If alone, stay on the coast. Thats where all the fun is at. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Talibambi 119 Posted January 16, 2013 (edited) Secure a weapon.Never use it on someone who isnt trying to kill you. (bandits excluded)Never turn your back on another player because they say they are friendly.Dont lose my humanity by becoming a shoot-on-sight-ass. (I have died a lot and been tempted to shoot on sight a lot. But Id rather not be one of the guys who throw away their humanity to "survive". Without that humanity - whats the point?)

Chris529 380 Posted January 16, 2013 (edited) 1. Find basic weapon either revolver/M1911/makarov/enfield/hatchet (not talking shit about the lee enfield though it's a good gun)2. Run to Stary Sobor and raid the tents for better guns and then search for vehicles and have fun (I never really set up camps, more fun to blow them up)3. as for me and other people, there is no me and other people. You're either in my way or not in my way. Edited January 16, 2013 by Chris529 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Masterfocker 103 Posted January 16, 2013 1) Kill them before they kill you2) Get into the forest as fast as you can3) Use hatchet when looting, that way you can get in and out of towns quickly/quietly. If you're aggro'd, you go into a building and hatchet them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Acix 132 Posted January 16, 2013 1. Find Sniper Rifle2. Move into Cherno3. Enjoy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
colekern 1364 Posted January 16, 2013 1. Don't shoot unless fired upon.2. Help if you can, but make sure that any threat has been taken care of before you help. That means making them drop their weapons and making sure I don't have any guns with ammo in my backpack.3.Try to be non-threatening, but also make sure they know that if I'm fired upon, I won't hesitate to fire back.4. Avoid most sniper rifles unless it offers an advantage in close quarters. My sweet spot for rifles is the FAL.5. Be polite (I usually tend to mess this one up in the heat of battle).6. Take my time looting, but scout the area first.7. Be smart around zombies. They may seem stupid and harmless, but all it takes is one mistake.8. Always, Always ALWAYS make sure I have the right keybinding. This mistake forced to kill two people (with a hatchet and a revolver with one mag no less).9. If I hear or see another player, be smart. Don't charge him yelling, "FRIENDLY!!!!!!!". 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dreams_Of_Cheese (DayZ) 71 Posted January 16, 2013 (edited) 1. Stumble around until I find a barn.2. Avoid cities and villages at all costs3. Follow vehicles, they know where they're going better than I do.EDIT: Reading the posts above me, it disapoints me that so many players are trying to so hard to be badasses."I R TEH ALFA MAIL""BOW 2 ME NEWSPAWNS""SH00T ON SITE 2B BANIDTO LOL" Edited January 16, 2013 by Dreams_Of_Cheese 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
