[Inqnctrl 1]

Hello everyone i am new to the DayZ comunity and just wanted to stop in and say hi.I haveplayed the game for about a day or 2 now(still really new to it) and have really been enjoying myself but i think the game would be more fun with others... Sooo long story short im looking for some people to play with mbby a fellow noobie like myself to and we could learn the map and how to play better.

Here are some questions i have also:

1. How come some server i see side chat and other i dont..?(also some servers i see people using side chat and i am not allowed weird i know rigght)

2. Should i go to a big city to start?

3. Any tips for incountering acutal players?(because every1 i meet wants to kill me)

If you want to play PM me or add me on steam and we can work out a time to play together looking forward to hearing from someone soon=]

Side chat is disabled on some servers (beta servers I think)

You can go to main cities but you will either die or get good starting loot. I'd recommend going north and hitting up deer stands. Head toward berezino, less popular.

Either avoid everyone or kill everyone with the rare exception of the possibility of making friends.

Sorry this isn't more detailed, I'm on my phone.

If you run beta-patch and join non-beta server, you wont be able to use side.

Hello puny human.

1) yeah... about that. That's not supposed to happen if everyone is up to date on patches etc.. Servers should be at 1.70, some are on older patches and not exploiting that at all.

2) Option 1. No. Not unless you know what you are doing and don't mind the battlefield gang bang.

Option 2. Yeah, off you go then. Have fun, its dead easy if you are a sneaky night time type.

3) Yup, make sure your local voice works, then sneak up behind them in the dark and yell BOO as loud as you can cos its funny as hell when they start panic firing..

OK, either that or start whispering things about how you can see them and lord cthulhu cos that works too.

1. I seem to be having the same problem, not sure on why some people can use side-chat and others can't.

2. No, they are usually death traps. What I usually do when respawning is making my way to balota airfield, check quickly if there's anything worthy of looting and make my way north to Zelenogorsk and continue north to the airfield (you'll encounter a town or 2-3 which have supermarkets, schools and churches) this will usually get you an alice pack and most equipment to be self-sufficient (axe, knife, matches, map, compass etc.) On the way I usually check some deer stands since they spawn military grade loot as well. When I get to the airfield I tread carefully to check the southern barracks and hope for a nice weapon and if I'm lucky an ammo box. After that I check if there are zombies spawned at the hangars, if there are I usually make my way back south and check the buildings in Vybor again (depending on what kind of weapon I'm sporting). If not I might make the dangerous cross and check the control tower, fire station and northern barracks and the deer stand to the north east of those barracks.

3. Finding people to play with is usually more fruitful outside of the game, but I still make a habit of trusting people (albeit carefully). I think the community on NL4 is pretty decent and not as murderous as other servers I've been playing on, but this might have something to do with the SoH guys I met up with and spent most of my time playing with. I've taken complete strangers along in my hippy van to make a cross country roadtrip while checking out towns along the way.

Then if i don't run beta and just the game when i joined those servers do you think it would fix the problem?
