My first DayZ Experience

[matt23495@hotmail.com 9]

Well, after alot of troubleshooting and finally getting into the servers i spawn in. The first thing i do is adjust my video settings and get used to the controls. I spawned around some factories so i scouted them out only to find nothing.

I then proceeded down the road to this town, looting buildings along the way. No guns, no hatchets nothing. I finally got into the city and i headed towards this school building. At last on the roof i find a makarov, the expression on my face was like yes. But that expression didnt last long because before i could admire my new weapon, i was shot in the face by a sniper camping on the hill behind.

I said ohwell and i started another character. Currently i am at a fire station so hopefully i might be able to get some good loot and then quickly head inland.

One thing that i did notice is that food and water are extremely hard to find. hopefully i can find some before i starve to death.

Thanks for taking the time to read :D

Welcome to the family...try to find a hunting knife, box of matches, a hatchet and a canteen so you can survive in the woods without cans of beans and unhealthy pepsi!

You should use this map and find the nearest grocery store where you can get all the food and water you want

My first experience was something similar.

got inside the wood and started touching my options, then i suddenly saw something passing by.

He hid behind a wood and was watching me. he was wearing a bandit skin but i didnt knew what it was when i first saw it.

I stand up being friendly and all saying "Hello there!"

Then he suddenly was shooting me.

I freaked out and laid down and shot my makarov like crazy.

Next thing i saw was his cold blooded body.

This hapened before i even saw a zombie lol

Not bad for my first gameplay :D

Dont use the web map.

Exploring and finding new stuff was one of the most memmorable experience.

If u want REAL fun, EXPLORE!

You should just rush to the airstrip at Balota immediately after you spawn, you can find a good weapon there and then start looking for other items. Sure it might be dangerous but avoiding zombies is pretty hard on this version and there's no point on hiding if you don't have any good items anyway so just rush there and either find a weapon and live or die trying and respawn.

That's what i do any way until zombie hearing is fixed in the next patch (50% reduction through objects) i don't see any reason to sneak since they can hear you through buildings perfectly but you can't see them until they are already coming after you.
