Video Tutorials For New Players (Most recent episode - Improving PvP Defense - 1st Feb)

[ep_metheus 75]

Hello survivors,

 

To all of you who are new to the game I'd like to recommend a series of video guides I made. They deal with different aspects of the game, usually with what seems to give new players the most trouble.

I've played the DayZ mod for over a year and the standalone version since it was first released. I don't claim to know everything, but I put a lot of effort into trying things out and do research. I enjoy making videos, so a large part of my time in the game I spend "shooting", but not using an M4 or a Mosin, but a recording software. So if you ever run into a guy who's for instance just staring at a shed (probably taking screenshots) or strips his clothes off and jumps off a pier (recording something) there's a good chance it's me. Many times I've died to get the stuff I needed for my videos testing things like how many punches it takes to kill a zombie or working on a video about "murdering ladders".

Anyway, I might not be some notoriously known person on the forums, but I promise you: The stuff in the videos will help you get started with the game. If you have any feedback or want to ask a question please post in this thread. I will be happy to answer. I hope we can exchange survival stories by a campfire some day.

 

Take care (and don't eat rotten fruit).

Ah! I like this.

Being mindful of positioning and exposure is a very useful tip, especially for those new to shooters or adapting to the slower pace of DayZ.

Well done.  Concise and informative.  Some of the stuff I had figure out on my own, dying a lot tends to do that.  But a lot of really good advice here.
