DayzDayzFanboy 1280 Posted April 5, 2019 Welcome to dayz. First off, the game can be buggy at times but be patient with it, it's a very rewarding game. Coastal areas tend to be hotspots for meeting people friendly or otherwise, but you can bump into people in the most unexpected places. I drove around for a few hours today and saw nobody but then heard gunshots on a very remote place. I was also skinning a deer once, in the middle of nowhere and got shot dead. Everyone has a different playstyle. I tend to be cautious but will generally attempt voice communication before shooting someone. Talking on game can often prevent a firefight, even with heavily geared players. Just because they are armed to the teeth doesn't mean they want to shoot. They have more to lose and often prefer to talk and trade. In my experience! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chili1496 10 Posted April 5, 2019 (edited) Personally i would aim for Svet (north east corner of map) there is a bunch of guy's up there that actually help new spawns with gear etc, from there head west you have some milly tents which in my opinion are quite poor for loot then you have Novo and so on, the further west you go the better the loot. Find a water bottle if you want to go it alone pick up fruit and mushrooms. If you see another player just be cautious do not approach them suddenly or you may find yourself dead, make sure your mic is working 🙂 most of all enjoy the game and do not give up if you do get shot, there are some great things to see and do.

Nayte 503 Posted April 5, 2019 Welcome to the best survival game you’ll experience. My first tip is to embrace death. You will die...a lot. Once you come to terms with that, and not getting too attached to your character (which is tough), you’ll not get as frustrated. As mentioned, the coastal areas (spawn points) are usually teeming with players. My experience has mostly been positive when reaching out to others in game chat (you currently have to hold down on the d-pad to talk). Once you find yourself a backpack, compass, food, water, and some sort of melee weapon, you’re ready to trek inland. I highly recommend downloading the iZurvive app, it’ll make navigation far easier as you’re able to reference your location at a glance, as well as points of interest on the map. The most important thing is to have fun, and try out different play styles to find one that suits you. Good luck out there, and feel free to message me if you have any questions. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

awalsh47 200 Posted April 7, 2019 Accept you will die. Don't listen to everyone who says trust no one. You may get shot but you could have an adventure so approach people and be nice. Beach comb and check the boats for food, water and if you are lucky a drybag backpack when you spawn Dangerous areas. The coast. Loads of dickheads go around fully geared murdering everyone here especially in big city's. Kamy and solinchy are probably the most dangerous. Electro and berezino not much better. Cherno is safest but still sketchy. Police stations: despite having crap loot a lot of people hang around these. Mil bases: even nice guys shoot first here. Get what you need and get out. Mil bases on a full server are less risky as on low pop servers there are loads more server hoppers. Stareye: mil tents nearby and there is always people here as several well travelled routes to tisy and NWAF go through here. Both Sabor towns. Both located on popular routes. One of them has a mil tent camp too. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t know... one of your boys tried to kill me at that farm as I was doing the friendly jump, trying to get close enough to use prox chat. He’s lucky I’m a friendly survivor. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Him and another person was talking, then dude said he was friendly so my guy you ran into let his guard down then he got murdered. He was just more long the lines of not expecting anyone to pop up while he was looking for my M4. He is sorry for shooting at you. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I told him they must have been friendly bullets. I got killed twice the other day too by kos players. They are rampant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
