Stop running upright. Crouch run and crouch walk when there's zombies around. They are easy to evade.

And if you do alert them, just run upright for a while and you'll lose them eventually.

That's fine. You're free to come back when it's not alpha anymore.

Although registering on TL just to play DayZ and picking the name sc2terran is...I don't even know how to describe it

Don't get attached to your stuff. Other players probably will shoot you on sight. Best place for fresh gear are the main cities Elektro and Cherno, and Balota airstrip. They are also the places that almost always have other players in them. And most of them will try to kill you.

Here is a good map to use: http://dayzdb.com/map#3.074.117 Learn where stuff is ASAP. Cities and Towns have roadsigns (in Russian). You are much safer away from the coast than near it. Farms usually have decent loot.The red dots (military spawns) have the best loot. They are also much more dangerous places to be. Stary Sobor and the big airport known as NW have the most red dots, and are also the most dangerous.

Before you go up north, you generally want a bunch of firepower, morphine, and the following things on your toolbelt: compass, box of matches, hatchet and hunting knife. Morphine and other medical supplies can be found in hospitals in both Cherno and Elektro, and the military tent camp in Cherno.

The inventory system is terrible, this guy does ok explaining the basics:

Use your sidearm for killing Zombies. Not your Lee Enfield (or other noisy as fuck weapon).

You probably should try to remember what types of houses you can and cannot enter.

Wish I had known some of this stuff when I started out.

Is my bus still parked where I left it? Or did someone from TL already grab it and take it to one of the camps?

Also, there's this group of two guys that like to camp on top of the hospital roof in Elektro. I've already seen them do it twice so just a heads up before anyone ventures into town.

I have been having this idea lately which I believe would be fun, and give us good training.

I was thinking we could have team death matches to get better at pvp combat. We have been in situations where training together would have been beneficial. The concept is this, get two even numbered teams and go to a city. Electro/cherno/berizino/etc, and try to work with your team to kill the other. Each team gets 1 primary with 4 mags, 1 sidearm with 4 mags, 2 bandages, 1 blood bag, 1 painkiller, 1 morphine, 1 food, and 1 drink. Or something like that. Last team standing wins. The rest of the people get on overwatch positions around the map to keep tabs on other people entering the city.

You wont have to worry about losing gear, only your precious zombie kills. This way if we ever have to coordinate a large group effort to defend a camp or something we will all have experience. If some raiding clan joins ATL 69 and starts waging war against us, our camps, etc then this may prove to be very helpful.

Maestro i can only tell you my perspective on things:

i believe that the first two weeks you should try and make it on your own, check out where to get guns and basic knowledge of zombie behaviour, inventory and stuff. Everyone has been through this phase and spawning w/o guns makes this even harder for newbies.

Ive been playing the game for almost a month now and the only vehicles me and my buddy had were useless tractors that you cant drive anywhere because theyre slow, loud and one seaters. Jochan and me have been in TS for a little while now and we have gained our fair share of trust among the guys. Even though they did not want us in on their camps (which i understand having a camp of my own) they agreed to give us one of their vehicles, so now jochan and me have something to roam around and look for heli crash sites.

but the point is that trust isnt gained easily even amongst TLers, yesterday our camp got raided and unknown guys were asking questions about camp sites on TS, one of them being grumblethorpe. (Korv talking about camp sites that he randomly found didnt help either, those were our camp sites and you compromised them, thanks for being a douche btw)
learning not to talk about this stuff is a process that you have to learn for yourself, get your own camp site and when it gets compromised and you lose the only two spare sniper rifles you had and see how you lose trust.

We walked for most of the last 2 weeks and we got on fine, you have to understand that this game takes a lot of time where nothing happens, its not always riding around in vehicles and shooting survivors. ive had to run more than 8 km basically everytime i log in...
