I'm New, just a few questions...

[Sun Jetzu 0]

At night whats the best way to make things easier to see?

Is there a trick to not get any lag, on higher graphic settings?

Will vehicles be playable like in arma at some point?

Is there a page for clans I can go to so I dont have to run at it alone?

Any clans recruiting? :D

To melee zombies/players does the dot have to be on them, or whats the best way to one hit kill?

Is it best to talk to people you see? Surrender? Or kill them? I've only met a couple of people and most have tried to kill me. 

How far can zombies detect you? Is it from your sound?

Where can I find a map, I seem to be always lost. 

What makes you sick? Is it implemented in the game yet?

Where can I find water? I heard theres wells in every town but have yet to find one. 

How many guns are in the game?

Is there bullet proof vests?

Do Zombies infect you at all when bit?

Are there any safe zones? 

 

Sorry for all these questions, I literally just got the game and have never played the mod before. Played War Z but it sucked monkey balls. Thanks guys!!!

as a "first post", this is as good as they get.

 

lets see, what can i answer off the top of my intoxicated head:

 

- visibility at night: there are only "cheating" solutions. crank up your monitor brightness, crank up gamma in the video options, or change to a daytime server

 

- performance on higher settings seems currently slightly "shady" - means it can vary quite a bit. as the game is in development and many aspects are up for optimization, this may be subject to change from patch to patch

 

- vehicles will come. in the future.

 

- clans recruit here in the forums, and yes, the game is awesomesauce in a group

 

- contact with other people is often deadly. but i would advise you to play as you want to play. i never had any regrets playing as a friendly "carebear". it doesnt mean i cant defend myself.

 

- maps in SA are found in pieces, mostly in cars. found my first part today.

 

- settlements have water wells like this:

but ponds and lakes will work too

 

 

there is a ton of ressources on the net - these forums obviously, dayz subreddit, youtube, twitch, there are wikis, map pages, apps for mobile phones, and signed underwear.. no wait, that was exclusively mine.. anyway.. look around with a keen eye and most of your questions will be answered

if u alt and tab out and use this link http://dayzdb.com/map/chernarusplus#2.108.141 u don't even need a in game map and this 1 shows taps were to find loot etc. And the only melee weapon that one hits zombies is a fire axe but if u cant find a fire axe use a splinter axe since it kills zombies in like 2-3 hits the other melee weapons are so weak so always look for axes =D
