nairz 3 Posted September 21, 2012 Hey everyone,I'm new to this game, started this week, and enjoying the game so far.I didn't survive long in my first hours in this game, because some random players killed me on and on.But then i switched to low-populated servers and thats when everything went uphill.I played little bit today and found lots of supplies including weapons and the Gillie-suit, which i heard is quite rare.So my question is, will I be a running duck now?Tips and tricks on how to stay alive also appreciated :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hydra (DayZ) 472 Posted September 21, 2012 (edited) What in the hell is a running duck... And what about fish?Anyways, stay off of roads, stick to the treelines, get some buddies you can trust, and avoid Cherno/Elektro.

GeordieMarv 293 Posted September 21, 2012 (edited) Runnin,sitting duck ; Metaphore, meaning will players kill me just for the sake of ghille?No cos they can't take it off your...still, lifeless corpse if your wearing it.If you have a spare in your bag however, this is what they may think! So kill you just to check if you do.Best advice. Trust no one except your very good friends.Be wary of people that say friendly, as 90% of people will say that. Then shoot you in the face.Esp. if you have the shot lined up on them before they've even noticed you. As they will say this to stop you shooting and then shoot you.And lastly...don't turn your back on any players you don't truly trust. Let them go infront of you when running together etc. Edited September 21, 2012 by GeordieMarv 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SystemiK 366 Posted September 21, 2012 Never trust a guy who yells "FISH" and then later says "Oh, well....I already ate the fish". It can only end badly for someone. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It can only end badly for someone.HAHAHA!Beans!!Didn't know that, thanks.Edited my post a little. Make sure to read it...the one before this with the ghillie suit comment.Edit - Also make sure your in the right chat/side channel. As people may be trying to talk to you and your not in the right channel. So will assume your unfriendly as your not answering...and yes you got it...shoot you in the face. Welcome to DayZ.

nairz 3 Posted September 21, 2012 I read ur edit. I will remember that.Basically everyone is a bandit in this game, I had several chances of killing other players with good weapons and never seen them as a real threat, I guess that will change eventually 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But it does make you appreciate the good/friendly players more, when you do finally encounter some.I'd reccommend either trying to find some good people via the survivor or bandit HQ in these forums, or look for a clan/gaming community in your country/region.Not that you can't also have just as much fun going lone wolf. It's totally upto you what playing style you want... hero or bandit...grouped or lone wolf.As the mod is marketed... DayZ...it's your story. It is what you make it. Savour the good and bad moments, i have never played a game/mod that i have enjoyed so much. And that has made me go through some many emotions. Joy, guilt, remorse, fear & paranoia to name but a few! :thumbsup: Edited September 21, 2012 by GeordieMarv 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

terex 322 Posted September 21, 2012 You should be able to fish on the fishing boat.. Or from some areas near the shore. Make a fire, open up some beans, cook some fish, smoke a jo-. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
