Well, Im new! :)

[Spixx 1]

Hello, I am new to this game. I played for around 30min. and as far as I played, I really like the game. I manage to do nothing else than running in the woods for 30min, but it was fun.

So basicly, I need someone I can play with, maybe someone that can teach me a bit, but a new player would be good as well. :)

Edit: It would be cool if someone could post a basic guide on how to survive.

Lol, sorry but that just reminded me of my old yahoo pool days. "A/S/L?!?!?". Couldn't join a game without someone joining and asking you that >_>!

Well, doesn't make much sense if he's UTC-8 and I'm UTC+1 or whatever timezone you want to put in. As long as this game is not split into different regions you should always tell what timezone you're in.

Hi, this is a repost from a response I made to a similar thread yesterday. It may not all apply and might not be exactly what you are looking for, but it can't hurt to post it here too.

If you are a new player I highly suggest looking for a low population server to get your bearings on before you venturei nto the more densly populated servers.

Also, take note that most of the coastline areas are pvp hotspots since the are so close to the spawn points. There are a select few areas more north that attract a lot of players (such as the NW airstrip, Stary Sober, and the surrounding towns to the airstrip, plus a few more.)

When youre on a fresh start and you need supplies, I like to head to either Elctro or Cherno (the two largest cities, located in the central area of the southern coast). You'll need to learn which buildings to loot and which ones to pass over, at least until you know what spawns where and where you need to go to have a good chance of finding what you want. Supermarkets are an excellent loot source. Generally lots of food and drink, a chance at a primary weapon and a sidearm, binoculars, compass, map, watch, and a bigger backpack.

Firestations (look for a building with a 4 floor windowed tower coming out of the top, and 3 red double doors on the front of the ground floor) provide military grade loot. Know in advance, though, that most people know this and thus these spots are frequented by many players (there are only 4 firestations that I am aware ofin the whole game: 2 in electro, 1 in cherno, and 1 at the NW airstrip). Looting a firestation is a high risk high reward endeavor.

You may come across problems getting rid of zombies, but know it really isn't that tough. If you are being chased and need to lose the zombies, look for a building with a front door AND a back door. Zombies walk indoors, so lure them to the center, and dip out the back (crouch run out the back door). This will lose zombies quite easily.

Try not to spend too much time in any large city. People WILL turn up there. Get what you need and get out. If you do visit Cherno and Electro, make sure to hit up the hospital. You'll need to break the glass to get in, but you can use an empty tin can, bottle, or soda can to do this (you can cycle through your firing options with the F key). You will see cardboard boxes among the loot piles. These generally contain a very large amount of medical supplies, but cannot be opened unless you loot the items lying on the floor around the box first.

Say you decide to begin with Electro. I personally would run to the market first, looting whatever you want, then zip over to the nearby office building (but be careful in office buildings, they are full of side rooms and it's very hard to cover all of your angles once inside), make a quick trip through said office building, and move on to the hospital. Loot what you need (morphine, bandages, a blood bag or two if you have a friend who can transfuse you, and a painkiller or two) and then either risk it with the fire station (one or both, if you are feeling REALLY daring) or just head north out of the city and into the woods. You can skip the fire stations if you do not want to risk it, and just head north instead.

From a safe location take a moment to decide what you want to acquire next (do you want a vehicle? A bigger bag? A map/compass/some other piece, a toolbox? A better gun?) and plan accordingly. Check http://dayzwiki.com/...title=Main_Page for some useful information.

I hope that helps you, and happy hunting :-)
