Reklin 56 Posted May 16, 2012 I only play in the north. I had my fun in cherno. There are fewer players in the north but when you do see them it's so much more rewarding, the fact they have to respawn on the beach is rewarding too :DIt's just a lot more fun, and so much more randomness. Our first trip to NW airfield we almost got ran over by a car as it came flying over the hill and we all span round and started pounding it as drove off and managed to pop the passengers head.Being in towns looting without a care in a world and suddenly realising you're not alone. Or coming across dead zombies and realising you're catching upto someone as you go town to town.The north is what DayZ is all about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
umario1992 2 Posted May 16, 2012 Without a doubt the North is the best. You find some of the better skilled and kitted players there. Only problem is that it gets lonely quickly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katana67 2907 Posted May 16, 2012 I second this. North is really where it's at, and it's really starting to get to me all these "LETS HEAD TO CHERNO" newbie parties which never end up lasting more than ten minutes before they're all dead. Coast is a deathtrap, I always say, head north. I do like the freedom of the north, and it'd be pretty hard for bandits to cover every field. I don't think they should be able to either, but I think a more spread out bandit presence would give much more depth to the game rather than keeping them focused at the obvious points, airfields, bases, and the like.

Lurthri 0 Posted May 16, 2012 GTFO, my north. I have recently returned to the light side and any bandit that challenges me will be greeted with my CZ.In the north, the only friend you have is your sniper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The airfields are good right now, it's a change of pace that you sometimes need after wondering the countryside shooting rabbits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The airfields are good right now, it's a change of pace that you sometimes need after wondering the countryside shooting rabbits.I do agree, and I guess it's situational. Because there are some times where I have to really be careful entering places (mostly during peak playing times) and times that I don't, like early in the morning. As a rule, I just avoid airfields and Stary simply because they're a haul and are hard to make work solo unless you get insanely lucky with loot spawns. It just seems a bit repetitive for people to chill at the airfield and such, which makes me almost want to suggest that the loot "migrates" or something from military installation to installation. But what we have now works, so it doesn't need changing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KevinsLunchbox 7 Posted May 16, 2012 This is where we separate the girly bandits from the brawny manly bandits. Anyone can kill a new player in Cherno or the coast, that's small game. That's like going cow hunting with a rocket launcher. You know where they are and quite frankly they can't fight back. Going north and seriously hunting the players who survived for 15+ hours is the true sport. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AlarmedBread (DayZ) 3 Posted May 17, 2012 You don't have to kill everyone you meet. If you don't want to deal with them or simply want to betray them, knee cap em when you're near some zeds. Get them on the ground and toss a smoke near your troublesome target for two reasons. He can't see you through the smoke and the zeds will flock around him. What happens after the smoke clears is behind you. Maybe you can still claim innocence, you did 'shoot at the zeds and put out smoke for cover' right? ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
