Hiya everyone! I've been watching gameplay of DayZ from paulsoaresjr and i've decided to give it a try myself finally. I'm in the process of downloading the ARMA II pack, and I can't wait to get in and start surviving!

Sad part is after seeing in multiple videos of what goes down most of the time in this game, i'm probably going to become a bandit pretty quick. Not going to let my guard down just to have someone shoot me in the back.

Besides that, I look forward to playing this, and maybe finding a few friendlies I won't shoot on sight. (no promises!)

Shooting someone on site (cause u just surprised each other coming around a corner or something) is unavoidable sometimes, part of the game. Sitting on a hill over Cherno or on a roof top looking to actively hunt people down and kill them just for the sake of it are 2 different things.

One ok, sh!t happens, whatever.

The other sadly lame.

Well, I have some thoughts after playing it for a good hour or so.

-Weapons are very scarce. Maybe it was the server I was on, but I explored 2 of those police towers, a military outpost in the woods, and plenty of buildings, with no luck of finding even an axe (plenty of ammo and food/drink though) I wish we could at least start out with a knife or something.

-Being weaponless, I knew I could die from people (bandits), and that was what inevitably happened. Some guys saying "hey man, we need help" over the mic, only to gun me down. It's ok though, hope they enjoy the starting equip + some beans and a soda! (I would have gunned them down on sight, buuuuut no weapon.....yeaaaahhh.....)

So far, it's a thrill though. Avoiding the zeds, having the adrenalin rush when someone with a gun pops up and they don't shoot you, and the exploration is amazing. However, it does suck i'm STILL walking around (using the online map btw, I know where i'm at) trying to find a weapon (and now foodless/drinkless).

Gah! Watching paulsoaresjr made it seem so much easier! He found an AK and shotty on his first police building!

EDIT: Also, i've been getting stuck at 'character is creating' screen alot. I'm guessing this is something they are working on?
