herrjon 478 Posted June 16, 2013 It seems you've met the new zombies. They can push you to the ground if they get a hit on you. You're doing exactly what you should, just need to do it a bit better. You lose zeds by breaking line of sight, either with sharp corners, trees, buildings with 2 openings, steep hills, or as you have found out, crossing bodies of water.Keep it up, you'll get the hang of it. Just know you came in on a particularly difficult patch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not as in carebear but willing to bear with a noob with questions.EDIT: These zombies are omniscient. Ill get a huge lead, run around a house and hide in a shed only moments later to be perfectly tracked by something with an allegedly decaying brain.Its not challenging, its annoying :/ I have yet to find any means to defend myself.

herrjon 478 Posted June 16, 2013 Its killer man.. Can anyone recommend a 'friendly' server. Not as in carebear but willing to bear with a noob with questions.Well I can recommend TMW's servers. We have a private server that primarily vanilla, and a public server, US2419. The public server hasn't been updated yet thanks to Vilayer, but the private server is updated for sure. If you stop by our teamspeak server, ts.dayzmedics.com, there are typically plenty of friendly people willing to help a newbie out, either with questions or just playing with you. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fraggle (DayZ) 15720 Posted June 16, 2013 I'd recommend jumping in with those guy's MLuminos ^They'll make the learning curve a bit more pleasant and you might make some friends too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mluminos 31 Posted June 16, 2013 (edited) Wish i had my headset, I have it packaged up to be sent to steel series to be replaced. Best I could do is a rockband mic and PTT.Ill be coming in the TS and joining the server. Every server I've joined either didnt speak english or didnt much care to help.

mluminos 31 Posted June 18, 2013 The server darkst_day is a very friendly and fun serverThanks you I'll check it out.I'm still trying to get better. I found a server that starts you out with an axe and a flashlight. Still not sure how people are able to loot without them, to me it seems like a paradoxLoot is guarded by zombiesweapons are lootWeapons are needed to kill zombies (to get loot)I got lots of help from TMW, and I recommend anyone who needs to learn DayZ seek these guys out. I still need lots of practice, it also doesnt help the people I meet either stab me in the back, or are even fresher spawn than I am. Is there such a thing as super bambi? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
herrjon 478 Posted June 18, 2013 Glad to hear Joe helped you out a bit. Sorry for the motorcycle incident btw, I swear I thought you were still on Dobryy. lolAnyways, yeah, it'll be rough, but in a little while when you're a DayZ pro, you'll miss this feeling of fear and frustration with zombies, and not knowing how to survive. If you need a nice public server to play on though, we have updated finally, US2419. And you're always welcome on the teamspeak. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I managed to get my hands on one and set it up someplace remote. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
