Tinkerbell-x 25 Posted January 5, 2014 I started playing this game over the last few days and it's taken over my life! I've learned alot over the past few days, but yes, don't get attached to your gear & don't get frustrated when you die and lose it all! Enjoy :) 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
creature 1189 Posted January 5, 2014 If you're vewy. vewy quiet and tell people your hunting wabbits, you may just survive this. :thumbsup: 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Serious Stan 202 Posted January 5, 2014 Dont think its all like you have seen in the videos. Those are highlights mostly of the "good" side of dayzIn reality only 50% use VOIP and you will die in many stupid ways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WierdBeard 18 Posted January 5, 2014 On newspawn, keep your eyes peeled for ground water. Marshes, lakes, rivers. And drink until it says you're full. After that, head inland and you'll likely score some grub pretty fast. Eat until it says you're full. After that it's smooth scrounging. I find I wind up eating/drinking to clear space in the inventory rather than from hunger/thirst. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any tips for a complete newbie to this game? I wrote a guide for new "survivors" specifically for new players to the DayZ SA Alpha and who haven't played the DayZ mod either.http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/156472-survivors-guide-to-dayz-sa/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TYS 25 Posted January 16, 2014 Listen to Jona. Perhaps play the mod first If you want. Its learning curve is slightly smaller. Otherwise good luck! I hope this game provides you with many adrenaline-packed adventures :D SobakaTYS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 16, 2014 Rules 1. Loot2. Find a weapon3. Survive 4. Don't listen to Frankieonpc5. This is your story, you will learn more yourself in the first 10 mins than watching 10 hours of videos ENJOY!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MeTheMonster 0 Posted January 17, 2014 Follow these tips, definitely watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwNgTnj9hBE But no matter what, always remember that everytime you die, you learned something new that will help you survive later on. Try to think "What could I have done to survive longer?" everytime you die, and apply that to your next life. This will keep you from raging whenever you die, and will definitely help you improve.
