PlasticAssasin8 (DayZ) 78 Posted March 14, 2015 Hi everyoneWell i bought the game two days back and wow what a learning curve. First spawn i was near a beach ( didnt know where) and ran to a nearby house. I figured out the running etc after years of console games. Although i couldnt figure how to open a door and next thing you know i hear a shot and see a bullet mark in the door, :o , i logged out and looked up how to do some stuff, wow that was kind of intense i thought. Since then ive been on for a total of about 5 hours.Ive found a mosin ( couldnt pick it up though) and a heap of other guns in a few building as well as heaps of food and other supplies, then lost it when i put my back pack down, cos i didnt realise i could scroll the inventory, ran of and oops and couldtnt remember where i put it, lmaoThose zombies can see you from miles off, wow . Ive learnt a lot so far and enjoyed it even though its an unfinnished work :thumbsup: 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ive learnt a lot so far and enjoyed it even though its an unfinnished work :thumbsup:It sounds like you have the right attitude and you're having the time of your life.Too many people become obsessive about their gear and it makes them miserable. You have many exciting adventures ahead of you! You will be happy to know that the new zombie AI is currently being tested on the experimental servers. You can use stealth techniques against them, but if they see you, they are much more agressive. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PlasticAssasin8 (DayZ) 78 Posted March 14, 2015 Its been good. Im more figuring out what is where.Like jackets near boats on the coast and pack packs in certain buildings.Found a mosin and sks in the same room earlier but no ammo.Havent found a fire axe yet, i guess thats the one thing i really want to get but its good learning things each time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Conrad_The_Comrade 577 Posted March 14, 2015 Welcome to DayZ :D Super glad you're enjoying it so far, and have fun learning everything, it's a blast. Also, you won't need to worry about the Super Zed Vision much longer, in the Experimental build they're testing the new AI, which is superb to say the least :) Good luck on your travels!

But then one time first i knew was the awful sound of decay on me, oh crap lmao. Although i do think they need to supply a kind of respawn ration pack Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you are a fresh spawn with no melee weapon, anything in the hand will help, even a can of beans. No matter what you have, the key is to aim for the head ... and keep moving, to make yourself a more difficult target.

Pinkintron 4 Posted March 14, 2015 Welcome to DayZ! You seem to be a player who already knows better that gear can be lost, and that the game is still pretty buggy. And that's great! I sure wasn't starting out. Although i do think they need to supply a kind of respawn ration packI support this idea. Though, I do see one bad thing about it. High populated servers are already littered enough with flashlights and batteries - depending what they put in there, I'd rather not see a house have it's loot replaced with flashlights and other gear that players will just toss out.

Sal19k 2 Posted March 15, 2015 Try a hoe also for melee....also a good one hit weapon. Nothing like killing Zeds with a pristine hoe. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
