BoomBoom (DayZ) 4 Posted July 13, 2012 (edited) How can you tell where you are when I don't have a map?http://dayzdb.com/mapFind a town, check one of the signs. It will be in russian. Compare that russian word to the russian words on the map. If you find a road or rails near the beach, look away from the beach and then walk right on the road. Stay off the road though and in the treeline. More likely than not you're going to spawn on the southern portion of the map, so that way you at least are not going to walk into oblivion(aka the edge of the world on the left).

ViciousJ 6 Posted July 13, 2012 No, you definitely pay $23.99 for Day-Z. Nobody is buying Arma II for Arma II.It's true.People keep saying DayZ is free but we all know that the only reason Arma sells so well now is BECAUSE of DayZ. It's the sole reason people buy the game. At least 90% of them, anyway. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

minionman 2 Posted July 13, 2012 Some servers have low loot or no loot at all some how just switch servers and like the previous reply said by 'Izithel' you shouldn't buy it for DayZ, ever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Delta Smoke 01 765 Posted July 13, 2012 I can gear myself up with a primary (ak or leeroy enfield) Pistol and all the goods to kill and cook animals in less than 20 mins. sounds like the server you played on has issues. Try switching. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gigglez (DayZ) 1 Posted July 13, 2012 No that's arma 2, not DayZ.If you buy Arma 2 just for DayZ you are doing something wrong.How do you think Arma 2 CO is the top seller on steam? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Theweirdone 29 Posted July 13, 2012 How do you think Arma 2 CO is the top seller on steam?Because of people riding the hype train, then when they don't enjoy the hype train they think DayZ owes them something.This is what you call buyers remorse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ganjastar 53 Posted July 13, 2012 play more and more and more. 7 hours is nothing in this game. you will be a noob for the first 100 hours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sgt Abraham Ford 82 Posted July 13, 2012 Boom, you paid for Arma 2 to play an alpha of a mod. If you can't understand how retarded it is to bitch about paying for DayZ, your brain is broken. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aeoneth 163 Posted July 13, 2012 Yes you paid $24 - 30 for ARMA 2. Not Dayz, regardless of what you think your reasoning was, DayZ costs 0 dollars and from what I hear it might be possible to play Dayz without buying CO (not sure on the legality of it however). If you only watched youtube vids (of people who only captured their best moments) and thought you wanted to try this game with no further research, then that is a LARGE case of buyers remorse...If you had done research you would have realized that people like the yogscast crew had a special start, or that most videos don't start with people on the coast. You would also learn that the game is in ALPHA and as such is in a perpetual state of instability.Rocket and BI owe you NOTHING. It's your fault you're in this mess, now they might be nice (and Valve might too) and reimburse you, but by no means should you believe that you are ENTITLED to a refund.

bad_mojo (DayZ) 1204 Posted July 13, 2012 I suggest trying out Arma2 if you "only bought it for dayz", it's a great game and with the editor, there are endless possibilities. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bacon Surfboard 61 Posted July 13, 2012 OP/ you people do actually make me feel sick. You cannot buy DayZ - you bought ARMA II for an alpha mod that was largely home made and still in testing. If you don't like that then you're just a bit dim. Nothing else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lahrmid 10 Posted July 13, 2012 DayZ is free, I suggest a temporary 7-day ban for anyone who says otherwise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E. Heskey 11 Posted July 13, 2012 Or you're doing what at least 75% of the people who play are doing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For once, the 3 semesters I spent taking it in college is paying off... Who would've thought it'd be useful in a video game of all places >___> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeeksterDayZ 55 Posted July 13, 2012 (edited) DayZ takes a long time to learn how to play 'properly'.Those vids on youtube are from people who know where the high-value buildings are with the good loot. They recorded hours and hours of footage and then edit it down to 12 awesome minutes.Fact #1: Most of DayZ is spent walking, in fields, along roads, through forests. Get used to it, enjoy the scenery.Fact #2: You won't overnight become a 'good' player at this game. Sometimes you get lucky, most of the time you get dead.Fact #3: Speaking of dead, you will die. A LOT. Don't get attached to your gear, you WILL lose it, either to a bug, server crash, zombie or another player.If you want some in-game help I am happy to guide newbies to help them out, send me a DM (or post below) and we'll arrange a time to meet up in-game.

Whattteva 32 Posted July 13, 2012 DayZ is free, I suggest a temporary 7-day ban for anyone who says otherwise.That's just unreasonable. You don't put someone in prison for 7 days just for saying he bought a McDonald's free toy that comes in the happy meal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wilkysheen 3 Posted July 13, 2012 Because prison = temp ban. The hyperbole some of you dimwits spout is astounding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AtomicFrawg 1 Posted July 13, 2012 OP this Mod is survival of the fittest. You have to search everything and be sneaky about doing so. If you find loot is not spawning, jump to a different server. May I suggest looking for a low pop server until you get the hang of the game to avoid PVP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valerio (DayZ) 0 Posted July 13, 2012 As of right now if you get it from Steam it costs $23.99.Arma 2 and OA cost money, but you bought the games on your own, so don't complain. DayZ is free, and if you don't like it, play something else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
