Hello :)

[Obscurus28 1]

Hello, i am new to this game (as in purchasing it tomorrow) and would like to ask a few questions. If you guys know of any, can you point me in the direction of a good beginner guide for the game? I watched a buddy play it but i would like to learn the controls. Most of the ones i found when searching youtube were rubbish. If you can i would like one that is written, not a youtube. Second, i would like to introduce myself, Obscurus28 (or just Mike). When i start up tomorrow do you have any tips for me? I would appreciate that. I would also be interested in teaming up with someone. Idc what you do but i don't like killing. In most games i play the medic role and i intend to try that here. Be you a bandit or survivor i'll keep you healthy :) I am 18 btw. And lastly, does this site use the website gravatar? Somehow my bf3 battlelog one got here. That or Enjin. Thank you :)

Thanks guys, especially you Scene. That was exactly what i was looking for, i'm still reading. And yes lol this is a killing game. I don't want to murder but killing zombies is a mighty yes. I would only kill another if they tried to kill me i guess. So how do people respond to that? After browsing a bit it seems people kill other survivors? Seems like i got alot to learn lol.

Believe it or not, I'm a fortune teller. I'm gonna give you a free reading just because I'm such a nice guy. :3

-You will have a glorious time running in the forest.

-After hours (or DayZ as it were), you'll see a distant pixel... the silhouette of another survivor.

-You'll be overcome with excitement at the thought of meeting the worthy scavenger and run towards him.

-You yell "friendly" as you approach from behind, followed by another reassuring call for "peace".

-He turns around.

-And shoots your face off.

*Repeat above fortune 30 times*

-You become a bandit.

*End of fortune*

Welcome to DayZ. Any questions or tips, feel free to ask me and I'll attempt to answer them with my limited knowledge of the mod. Take extreme caution with other players, most are following the kill on sight rule.

Tips:

Always expect to be shot

Don't get attached to your items

You will die. Many times.

The Northwest Airfield is dangerous.

Cherno and Elektro are dangerous, but helpful as a fresh spawn when you have nothing to lose.

Be smart.

EDITS: Just had to reword some things that didn't sound correct to me.
