spinoabw@hotmail.com 33 Posted June 23, 2012 So I started playing the game about 4 days ago. Like you all, I hated how you didn't start with a gun. I probably died 50+ times in one day. It actually took me a good 2 days to find a single firearm, let alone survive more than an hour. All I'm saying is, stick with it. I now can find a good loadout (food, water, and weapons) within 30 minutes. It's not that hard, the problem is you're not used to the playstyle. Once you stick with it you'll learn how to tell what buildings are enterable, where to look for different kinds of loot, and how to evade the zombies.

Beloozero 118 Posted June 23, 2012 +1Took people a while to get the message. It's all about patience and adaptation. Apparently, all the new recruits we got from people like PC Gamer and RoosterTeeth are too aggressive and impatient to last more than 30 minutes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hazedaze 89 Posted June 23, 2012 5star thread.cuz sounds are important and more shots you fire more infected you attract as well as hostile players if any around. even if you have AKM as a start weapon that doesnt mean you are safe. coz you are in more trouble if you fire your weapon most of the time.. you know how bandits get killed? they shoot at everything on sight. they fire 10 rounds to kill 2-3 infected at a deerstand and you know he is a bandit and needs to go :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Penguinman401 2 Posted June 23, 2012 I'm in the same boat as the OP and agree 100%. Starting out was pretty rough, but eventually you get the hang of surviving and things get really fun. Prone is your friend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThatDayZNoob 0 Posted June 23, 2012 A-fucking-Men brother. When I started; I got frustrated because of all the walking, and boring things I had to deal with. Now I know how to make the best out of my situation, and my spawns! It's a fun game, that you need to have patience to get into. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spinoabw@hotmail.com 33 Posted June 23, 2012 See whats weird is other than evading humans I haven't found much use for prone yet. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Turin (DayZ) 3 Posted June 23, 2012 Well said.New players will be frustrated at first... but once they become familiar game, a lot of them will be glad about there being no starting weapon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

People will have mixed feelings about that aspect of the mod. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
