dallas 5195 Posted January 1, 2014 (edited) Everything that happens to you in DayZ, should be considered an learning experience. Especially your mistakes and deaths. First priority should always be to take care of your physical needs. Edited January 1, 2014 by Dallas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

djporternz 644 Posted January 1, 2014 Welcome aboard. Read the pinned 'Beginners Guide'. Watch a few YouTube vids to get an idea of the basics. Best advice I can think of: Don't get too hung up on your character or gear. Both are temporary. Work out a way that you have fun playing this game. (Hopefully that won't lower the fun for other players!) Find someone to play with, as that makes the game so much better. REMEMBER that the game is still alpha, and is changing a lot ATM. There are bugs alive and kicking that make some of the simplest things frustrating, but this game is fun to play. So play. Have fun. PS: No matter what anyone says, do not give up a can opener under any circumstances. Let them take your gun and ammo, blood bag you, handcuff you or whatever else takes their fancy. But stash that can opener somewhere safe!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ninjacalypse 551 Posted January 1, 2014 Hey people im going to be new to dayz ane computer gaming so how do I play? I've written a Survivor's Guide here:http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/156472-survivors-guide-to-dayz-sa/ That is specifically tailored to new players to the DayZ SA Alpha with a basic overall tutorial/walkthrough. You can find a lot of other useful information in the forums as well but a lot of it is bits and pieces scattered around. This will give you a good basis to understand what all those other bits and pieces mean. And welcome to DayZ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rkelt 46 Posted January 1, 2014 (edited) Hi there...Welcome to the forums and Dayz You should check the beginners guide around there, look for some threads to get some tips to sutvive, and not get lost, in ChernarusMy advice: Stick to the roads...and never get attached to your gear, everyone dies at the end...Dont forget this is Alpha so some bugs might pop out, char reset,etc...At last...Have fun out there B) EDIT: Drink a lot of water...

broguenz 333 Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) Keep your food and water in your inventory as a reserve, once your reserve is sorted, eat and drink whatever you find even if you don't think you need it. Have found I can run a lot further without any complaints rather than being thirsty every time I sprint for a bit.Spaghetti and soft drink seems to do the trick.Would like a steak. Makes more sense now after watching this pretty interesting system and informative video if you give a stuff about stuff like that stuff Edited January 2, 2014 by RogueNZ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
