Where are you at again? If you don't have anything that valuable I would just respawn. Join Teamspeak, someone on there may be able to help you out.

The blue bus? that was yours? I found it in the woods and didn't think it was TL so i took it, but parked it just like 500m east of that position after riding for like 5 min. Didn't know it was yours!

It was where I left it last I passed it, I can help you find it if you have trouble

I'm hiding in one of the military tents. I have a FN Fal, not sure how rare that is.

Its a good gun I wouldnt want to respawn. if you have a FN Fal you probably have other pretty decent gear. I think Cee is gonna come help you out.

Was it in a clearing surrounded by a forest, on a hill? I don't mind if you took it, I'm just wondering lol. It's been there for more than two weeks.
If it had a car wheel and a few sodas in its inventory then it was the one I found.

I have never played DayZ but i am very interested in it atm but I have a lot of questions, i hope you guys can help me:

1. Is it even fun to play alone?
it seems to me that everyone is very hostile and its quite risky and impossible to play with someone you dont know.

2. Is there any "lategame" goal? Is there something like "lategame-gear" that you are farming up to and how many items are there, from what ive seen(not much) the variety seemed very limited (or are there challenging areas ? like more zombies -> more changes to get good loot?).

3. Personal Goals, atm i think i am not the kind of player that would have fun killing other people all the time, so the goal of the game is to survive, but the best way to survive seems to be logging off an not to play °_° is there any other goal i can achieve in DayZ ? I fear DayZ could get very boring for me after some time (if the PvP aspect doesnt interest me). So maybe you guys could tell me what makes you want to keep playing Day Z.

4. Servers: How are servers created generally? Are there servers by the devs of the mod? by Arma 2's developers? random people? Is every Server the same? Do they have different Propertys (like for example some Servers have other drop rates or something).

5. Vehicles, how easy/hard is it to get some useful vehicles? I saw that you had to find one first and then most of the time you have to repair it, is it even possible to get a Car repaired when you are alone ? (i expect that i get killed by the time i fixed 1 part).

6. Patches & Updates: how "regularly" is Day Z patched? Or maybe is Day Z considered "done" already and the devs dont do anything anymore?

Thanks in advance for every answer

1.60 is outdated as hell, you need the 1.7.1.5 version that we are using on the dayz server find the files here. http://dayzmod.com/downloads.php

also some servers require you to use the arma 2 beta patches, on the TL server we use the latest patch 94444 http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php/

1: I play alone 50% of the time. I find it is stressful, unpredictable, and most importantly, very fun. The fact that you can be a lone traveler and run into any type of person at any time is awesome. And the constant stress of watching for any movement while trying to survive is actually a huge plus. You can't get bored if you're freaking out.

2: There aren't any drops or anything in the traditional RPG sense. Because some loot is more rare, the longer you stay alive, the better your chances are of coming across it at some point. The progression can be very non-linear, but in a lot of cases, you will find a pistol, then move up to a mid range gun, then maybe get lucky enough to grab a badass weapon and other items. Stay alive longer, find more awesome stuff. The variety is a lot more.... .varied than you would think also.

3: My personal goal is to have a ghillie suit, a "high-end" gun, a vehicle, a tent, and probably some people to pal around with who aren't complete assholes. That right there takes a lot of luck, a lot of patience, and the willingness to ask questions first, and shoot later! Also, the fact that every time I play, I survive a little longer is a huge incentive.

5: They seem to be pretty difficult in general. Unless you're lucky enough to stumble across a vehicle that was left somewhere, or you get the drop on someone and kill them so you can take theirs. It's possible to fix a vehicle yourself, but it is a huge pain in the ass.

6: Patches seem to be constantly in the works. There are balance changes, item change, environmental and character changes.... everything you would want to be scrutinized and tweaked in a game definitely is. I look forward to patches like crazy. Every time something changes drastically, it's like a whole new game!


My opinion on the subject! Enjoy!

Takes some time to figure out how fast you can move without being detected and how close you can get. Make sure near or in town you are at least crouch running and toggling to crouch walk when needed with shift (double tap shift to toggle on/off).
