qksilvr73 4 Posted January 23, 2014 I think they changed the looting tables. I can't seem to find much anymore. used to be pretty common to find guns, ammo, scopes at balota. Not so much anymore. Tested 6 different servers. Kinda sucks as I fell off a ladder twice. Last one falling 20 feet to my death!! GRR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why don't you play the game properly and you won't be falling 20 feet to your death (which you deserved by the sounds of it)It isn't supposed to be easy to find guns, hence "survival". 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

byrgesen 1340 Posted January 23, 2014 Yeh like some people already said, survive at first.Once you feel like you understand how the food/thirst and medical system works, you can start to work your way towards being a Hero :)But its a steeeeeeeeeep learning curve mate, be prepared for some rough times ahead. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why don't you play the game properly and you won't be falling 20 feet to your death (which you deserved by the sounds of it)It isn't supposed to be easy to find guns, hence "survival".Dude it's an alpha (testing hello) and I was seeing if it was just the server. I don't server hop. I just had a hunch that is all. I was playijng game properly until latest patch. Was reset back 2 days lost half my gear etc. I still had my m4a1 so wasn't looking for a guns or ammo for that matter. I had over 300 rounds of 5.56. I did need a new acog but that's not a biggie.So I died. Oh well, that's why it's DayZ ALPHA :rolleyes: . Don't have to get your pantys in a bunch. LOL BTW I have seen multiple users post this same thing. Lack of loot, servers not saving character etc.. Edited January 24, 2014 by QKSILVR73 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't have to provide me with items, just teach me along the way Pro tip..........don't bother trying to become a hero in this mod. Hero = bullet sponge Too many KOS COD kiddies in the mod, no humanity system, means lots of dead heros. Maybe if they make an effective humanity system you can do it in the future. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trew 4 Posted January 24, 2014 I cannot seem to figure out how to link them but if you look on youtube for a fella named Dslyecxi he has a couple of vids showing him bandit hunting and helping others out.

stolenbanjos 110 Posted January 24, 2014 Some Hero tips (from this forum and friends) that have helped me play hero without being made a sucker! -If you give a bambi a gun, only give them 1-2 rounds and take the rest of their ammo. Now the odds of a backstab are in your favor.-Do your hero thing, then gtfo. Don't band together after the first minute you meet and run to NWAF, get to know them for a while, ask for steam name if you plan to take a trip somewhere. Now the odds of getting baited, spotted by a bandit, or setup are in your favor.-Try to keep control all the time, keep LOS of your new "friends" and don't let them decide anything for you.-Don't be afraid to "test" your subject to gain his/her trust as long as you can control the situation. Turn your back, crouch, be ready to arm a weapon, and say you are rearranging your inventory but don't open the inventory screen. Keep an eye on them. Are they watching your back, or arming their axe and moving towards you to split your skull? Well, you get it by now - keep the odds in your favor by being in control and smart. Be doubtful at all times without seeming scared, once you let your guard down - you are asking for it. Some big tells if someone is baiting or looking to doublecross you-antsy movement, always moving within striking distance-always trying to control conversation or destination-they don't listen to you-long awkward pauses in direct/voip chat? They may be speaking with other people on TS This isn't "the way" to play hero, but it will save you a few respawns. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
