hoffa (DayZ) 71 Posted July 22, 2012 Hi everyone!Well, I've been watching DayZ videos on youtube for a few days, and every one of them just sucked me into the game more and more - without me even playing for one second!So I finally bought Arma 2 CO yesterday (thank you Steam and -40%).I thought I got it all figured out from watching the videos. Get some food, additional medicine, some tools and a weapon and you're all set for upgrading your gear. Not so much. First time spawned in a city with a port and huge cranes. Forgot to read info at the begining where I was, so maybe someone will recognize this place. I learned my first lesson in about 3-4 minutes. Don't climb on roofs if you are not 100% sure there is an alternative way down. Zombies saw me, a pair of crawlers so they didn't climb the ladder, but I couldn't get down. Only way was jumping from the roof, but that got me killed after bleeding out while 4-5 zombies surrounded me.Next time i spawned in Electro. Alone. Went into town and imidiately decided to get the hell out. I somehow lived, ran through 2 forrests and ended up killing 4 zombies with a hatchet, getting into some kind of factory who-knows-where, finding a bunch of scrap metal, car windows and tyres. Found 2 DMR mags, 1 Makarov mag and some kind of M16 without ammo. Got disconnected from server and it's back to beginning.Now I really need some guidance. Where to go after starting, what to do? I'm all alone in that cruel world, have no friends that are interested in playing, so I am my only hope.Well, unless you guys help me a bit with some good tips and advices!

schwifty 22 Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) Hit respawn till it says Chernogorsk, night time is best. Walk around the north side (opposite the water) you will see 5 appartment buildings on the north side with a hospital. Crawl in there and loot. Usually has everything you need to start. If not there is a firehouse and a supermarket SW of there through the factories that are right across the street to the south.Night time is better and crawl or crouch/walk. Helps keep zombies from noticing you.Loot up, enjoy!SW means facing the water with it being slightly on your left Incase you arent good without a compass.
