My first time.

[devanlasalla 1]

So i installed DayZ a few days ago, and have had a few hours game time. My first life i spawned thinking i started out with a gun. And that was not the case. So i was chased across a field by about 10 zombies, and was eventualy killed. My second life went alot better, i got enough bandages and painkillers to get me through any injuries that might occur. So i was doing good, skullking around Elektro looking for suplies. I came across 2 survivors that took a few potshots at me and ran off. So that got me wanting a gun to defend myself. I eventualy found a church that had been fortified with barbed wire, and had a few tents strewn about inside. I hopped the wire an made my way over to one of the tents, and lucky enough, i found a markov! I continued to look around the church for more suplies. I had gotten enough and turned around to leave, just in time to see the doors swing wide open, and a survivor toting an ak-47 burst through and riddled me with lead. So im laying there bleeding out while he is fending off the zombies that had been atracted by the gun fire. I regained consciousness and atemped to patch myself up, thinking he would spare me, when all the sudden he turns around and sees i have gotten up, and putts a bullet between my eyes......... Not the most productive day, but i enjoyed it :)

glad you enjoyed it... why would the guy have spared you if he tried to KOS - should have popped him with your mak whilst he was zombie fighting..

Welcome to the world of dayz, devonlassa! Sounds like you had quite an adventure. I found it useful to make the same runs over and over to help me memorise the map until I found one. In Electro, the firestation is across the road to the left of the church as you leave it. That's where you find the good weapons but the zombies keep a close eye on it.

To get to the store from Electro's church, run across the road and head a little to the right. That's where you'll find everything from backpacks, maps, watches, hunting knives to food and drink. Also, the bar/cafe opposite the store is good for that too, and for handguns and compasses.

Good luck! :thumbsup:

You should've emptied that Makarvo into the back of his head whilst he was distracted with the zeds. The fact he turned his back on you to deal with zeds inside a building shows he is just a murderer and not a proper bandit.

"Proper bandit", please, they all are so inexperienced. I think like a CoD kiddie and instantly realize what they will probably do and they do it. Bandits are easy, the hackers are the only ones who get me in the end.

Eurgh, bambi killers are scum... I've dedicated my last few play sessions to eradicating them and helping the new guys, lol.

Sula's advice is good, try to memorise the big cities and which buildings you're having success looting and before long you'll have your own little route planned where you can get in, grab some gear and get out ASAP. I always aim to have a map, compass, knife, hatchet, matches, a better backpack and primary and secondary weapons before I leave. Achievable most of the time but you can't win 'em all!

Good luck!
