jubag 0 Posted June 25, 2012 the only way really is practice, but also running up the eastern shore to more nothern town helps, theres less people up thereguides can just give you advice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stephansabath@t-online.de 40 Posted June 25, 2012 another whining thread ;) only kidding mate, but ...... if you are informed, you know, that this is a meta-game with PvP and this is very very challenging. You had something like that in STALKER, but this is more difficult here. Remember that, it´s no CoD, BF3 or CS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Prof. Awesome 3 Posted June 25, 2012 Whats the deal with scavenge cities? I mean even without weapon! If u prone u can almost crawl between Zombies legs without attracting them! I dont like the no gun spawn either, but its not the big of a deal to find a hatchet or a crowbar! So u have to crawl ur way through cities till u find a weapon!

Jack Dant 158 Posted June 25, 2012 how to determine direction without compass?First' date=' get an online map (http://dayzdb.com/map is a good one). Then:1) Navigate by landmarks. Follow the roads (but not on the road itself), power lines, and hillsides.2) During the day, use the sun. It's in the east in the morning, the south at noon, and the west during the afternoon. Shadows always point away from it. Servers usually state their timezone in the description.3) During the night, you have the stars. Find the north star and orient yourself.4) As a last resort, I'm told the clouds always move east.how am i gonna run up there?Pressing W works for me.i dont have enough liquid to keep myself hydrated, please elaborate.Sodas are plentiful in barns and sheds along the way. In those, you can also find a refillable water bottle. Then you just need a pond. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Officious (DayZ) 4 Posted June 25, 2012 Go online find some friends join their clan play with them?I play on my own all the time, it's more fun in someways than playing with others. That said I team up with my buddies all the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djkling 5 Posted June 25, 2012 I laughed so hard at the "How do i get up there" and response "I press W". Nicely playedAnyhow, on a more serious note. I died of thirst last night. Yes, its hard. You should download a map first. Then when you spawn try and figure out where you are. You want to make it REALLY easy? Go ahead and play a regular Arma2 mission in multiplayer in Cherno. I usually go into Warfare, BE. I get a truck, drive the coast and look around. My theory on why this is not cheating is that IF i were a survivor I'd have some basic idea of roughly where I am. I follow roads (but not on the roads) and when i see zeds.... i wait. I watch. I look for an opening. I crawl slowly to the places then loot. After looting i crawl OUT. If something is in a building (looks like 40% cance in most places) I simply move on by or throw a can on the road to drive them out.YES, it takes time and patience, but I have found that it actually gets easier once you sort out your raiding ability and trying to NOT meet the zeds...

enablerbr 0 Posted June 25, 2012 I head inland because I've seen enough videos showing the coastal area to be prime killing zone. Inland there are barns, deerstands and Small villages. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slitter 11 Posted June 25, 2012 I head inland because I've seen enough videos showing the coastal area to be prime killing zone. Inland there are barns' date=' deerstands and Small villages.[/quote']And also supermarkets. Where i found a 16slot bag and filled it with food and soda (yes there was that much food in the supermarket :X)i always have more success when i go straight north from the coast without even bothering checking the villages near the cost for loot. Hint: Villages at the cost are checked by most people who spawn for loot, so you probably wont find anything there.If you start more East you usually will find a barn with a weapon and some food/drinks quickly and if you spawn more west, lucky you, there is a good area with supermarkets/churches/barns... i had my best live when i spawned west and went north. (Just don't go near the NW-Airfield you will probably die in a firefight if you are alone) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Find any landmark (road, town, lighthouse etc) and start from there. Just make sure you don't spin in circles while in a forest or you might get lost for a while.Got this game a couple of days ago and really...the basics are pretty simple. Learning to stalk and evade/kill other players though is a skill that will take a few more days to learn though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buzzo (DayZ) 1 Posted June 25, 2012 There are a couple of good Let's Plays on youtube that are being done solo. I played solo for the first couple of weeks that I played the game and thought it was fun. I do wish that you had the ability to use a blood pack without help, but other than that it's a fun time with or without friends. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FragMasta 1 Posted June 25, 2012 I played solo for 3 days.. until i approached a group with the direct communication chat. now i play with them everytime i go on dayz we have a couple cars and mad tents full of loot. we all stopped playing cause we don't have anything to do. Things we have-AS50 x1-MK48 x1-FAL x4-NO FAL MAGS WTF! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
