Solo play Not Welcome!?!?

[JayM 7]

After my 2nd day in a row of playing for about 4 hours I'm convienced that it's impossible to play this game solo, so I think I'm just going to join what everyone else does and just PvP all day at electro/cherno.

I have everything except matches every fucking time in this game? Do they exsist? I doubt it, I've been everywhere they could spawn been to grocery stores also. Never find them and my health widdles away until I die.

But if I play with a friend I can get 5 blood bags before I even head out? How fucking easymode is that? 12k HP heal to my 200 canned food that I find few and far between that doesn't really do much. 800 food for cooked me if I find a fucking matches which after 3 days of searching all over the place from south to north I can't seem to find any. I don't even believe matches are in this game. Can't I just rub the sticks together or does the mods think that rubbing sticks is a fucking myth and doesn't really work.

I haven't died today yet, but after widdling away for the 3rd time. I think I'm just done trying to play this game as a survior game, and just play it as a DM game in the citys since that is really the only thing you can do because everything else is so fucking broken and stupid. At least that way I would die in a firefight then slowly getting scratched... Fucking terrible game.

Call your local medic to help you out.

How can you possibly die of starvation? Stop being terrible and learn to pick up the cans of food on the ground. I'd love to kill you in cherno also

Or even better, make your own food.

I've gotta say that surviving alone is incredibly hard in terms of healing... Once you're dying, it's over.

At the very least, cooked meat should heal completely, but if I had it my way, matches, wood and hunting knives would be a lot more common too.

@Rono, Aras You are some very dense people.

Maybe try reading? Or is that just way over you're head...

have beans!

i stopped picking up extra matches after i realized they never ran out

now antibiotics....those are rare

That would make the game stupidly easy.

[Slitter 11]

I play solo a lot.

Never had issues finding things to survive. Sure it can take a while till you find the matches (and as soon as you found them it seems as if they are everywhere ^^) but you shouldn't die from that. There is food everywhere.

If you don't find any food, start shooting zombies, they have a decent chance to have a can with them.

Edit: Also you shouldn't be losing much blood at all when you don't get shot. Infected are so easy to loose that the damage is almost nonexsistant.

I've played Solo for a while until recently playing with a friend.

Sounds like JayM is just a pretty horrible player.

Lol.

[sagemred 85]

It's stupidly easy as it is if you play with friends (which I do now that they finally picked up a copy of ArmA -.-).

I'm just saying that, when compared to just grabbing a blood bag, healing alone is much too hard.

[Rono 56]

I can spawn up, run into cherno, kill the first "JayM" I see, and generally leave right then with anything I need. I've never gone more than 10 minutes in cherno without finding matches and a knife, but you just dont need them; don't get hit by zombies, learn to tone your ADD down and sneak so you don't get shot. There ya go, never get hurt.

[Shaun of the Dead 36]

I only play solo and I'm thriving.

Not really.. Just get loads of cooked meat.

[JayM 7]

So the logic here is, having a friend and only having to retrieve blood bags which come with 5 per box at 12k heal. Is the same as having to find a axe/hunting knife/wood then find a animal to kill cook the meat for 800 blood each is about equal?

You're saying the effort is the same? You're very mistaken if that's what you believe, the amount of effort solo doesn't even come close to that of doubles.

[i_deadly_i 10]

I was at the NW airfield once and i got shot and zombies swarmed me. I had 2k blood and i started bleeding. I screamd on mic "OMG OMG I AM GONNA DIE!! HELP THERE ARE NO BANDAGES !! SHIIIT LOOK ON THE ZOMBIES OMG I GONNA DIE!!!" I screamed like thtat until i found a bandage on a dead zombie. I bandaged myself and then I had 700 blood. My mate was laughing all the time. Cuz zombie hit me i bleed then i bandage myself and go to kill the last zombie and he makes me bleed again. Then as i passed out every 5 f'n seconds we went out of the airfield to find some cow's ass. We didn't find one at the beginning BUUT OHH OUR JOY when we found a cow, a lama, AND a goat!! Soon we both had a belly full of ass and blood full. THAT WAS ONE EPIC SURVIVING!

[Rono 56]

No, again, the logic here is stop getting fucked up and needing to heal. And if you really wanna hear it, sure, get a fucking friend or keep dying alone

How about you just stop playing all together? If you cant find matches you're not fit for survival. I honestly don't see how this game is hard. Although i have been playing since April and now i just sit and snipe noobs in cherno/elektro hoping they will quit this game forever.

[sagemred 85]

Okay, let me put it this way.

Two ways of healing:

1) Grab a blood bag with a friend. (Very common, typical to find five in one box at military hospital. Also heals to full.)

2) Try to find matches, hunting knife, some sort of weapon, animal to kill, wood pile / oil barrel. (All of which except a weapon can be hard to find, just depends on luck. Takes up more inventory/bag space due to more meat being needed to heal to full health.)

I'm not saying that solo healing is ridiculously hard or anything, It's just undeniably a great amount of effort compared to co-op play healing. Should be balanced out a bit to help solo players.

Weird how you're guy doesn't know how to make a fire unless he has matches, in a military simulator...

With enough skill and luck, its just as easy surviving on your own. Emphasis on the luck though, when it comes to matches.

I'm not even very skilled myself, but i manage alright when solo. Wich is all the time for me.

Oh, and if you should change your min about going full PvP, i'd check out DayZ GuideZ on Youtube. Might pick up some knowledge to help you out there. :P

The logic here is that effort doesn't need to be the same. There should be benefits for teaming up, and there are.

Well, i played my current life all solo and never even dropped under 11000 blood so i believe it's a l2p issue.

[Mad Z 51]

Why are you such a whiny bitch? I play with friends and I've still had to eat my way up from less than 3k blood to full twice on this character alone. Either get some friends or learn to survive alone.
