New guy

[ReconX45 2]

So hey guys,

I just started playing this mod since the other day. I have yet to find a good/decent sever or my luck is that I survive probably not even 5 mins from spawn from either a zombie or being hit/runned and looted by another player. So far in the server I found I have spent about 3hrs, no weapons, everythings been looted and stuck living in hills.

Does anyone know of a good/decent server or people to play with? Maybe that could teach me more about the game and possibly learn some stuff that can help me? Or give me advice.

Ive been playing solo and it gets boring really quick. Haha

Cheers mate.

Hop around from server to server. You'll find a home.

I would recommend this forum --> http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/forum/14-survivor-hq/ <-- to find people who are looking to play with others.

This is an excellent out-of-game map --> http://dayzdb.com/map <-- (Depending on your views on that type of cheating).

As you probably already know, zombies walk in buildings. So, it's just about impossible for zombies to catch you & once you get them inside of a building go for head shots with a pistol.

Hit up towns like Zelenogorsk & Berenzino to avoid players but still get supplies. You are going to want to find some morphine because legs break very easily.

Deer stands are great ways with a little less risk to find military loot.

It is ideal to have the equipment needed to cook animals as meat supplies a great amount of blood & animals drop a lot of it. Also, blood bags are only usable if you have somebody who can administer them to you. This is why meat is great for solo play.

As a parting note, depending on how you play the game you could potentially seek out low-population servers to get accustomed to the game without the fear of players cutting your "fun" short.

Good luck, sir.

Another good way to learn, is make sure you are on a recruit server. It'll pop up white circles on your screen to tell you where the zombies. It helps quite a lot while you learn how to move around the zombies and explore the map. After you've gotten a handle on how to play, you can move up to the regular or veteran servers, and test your mettle against all comers.

[AudioFenix (DayZ) 0]

I'm in the same boat as the OP. Best thing I've found was a hatchet then a zombie proceeded to rush me and call others. Anyways, if you want to team up I'm down. AudioFenix6 on Steam. Audiofenix on Skype.
