EPTThe guy is relatively new (2 days playing) and he asked us how to use the grenade. He misinterpreted F and left click as "F and left click to take it out [not throw it -_-]" so he just tapped the mouse button and it only went like 5 feet. The entire Skype call exploded with "HOLY F*** SILAS, WHAT THE F*** SILAS, OH MY GOD SILAS YOU DUMB***", while our sniper just started cracking up at the 2 names appearing at the bottom left. It's funny to recall, but I was so scared at the time I was running against the confessional wall screaming and swearing.

A friend of mine once thought it would be a good idea to use a grenade to blow up the hospital doors without telling me. We really could have used those med supplies too, if we both hadn't died instantly. Needless to say, he's no longer allowed around grenades. | ||

Because ive been spawning with no weapons You originally started with a pistol but the game was patched so you start with no weapons as of now. The video you watched was probably a few months old. | ||

However, I've noticed the best way to loot a town during day time (haven't tried night yet) seems to be simply to just sprint through the middle, grab a choo choo train of zombies and then get them stuck on fences. I say this because sneaking seems nigh on impossible to pull off, even if crawling. You can also scout out which buildings you can enter while doing this seeing as zombies can't hit you as long as you never stop running. Theres no reason to abuse the system like this, and as you said its in alpha, adjustments will be made. Why is there no reason? because you will die and lose all your shit anyway, probably doing what you mentioned, running like an idiot an drawing attention to yourself. If you have fun playing like that, do it. Or if you have fun trying to do the impossible (sneaking through town without aggroing) do that. The thing is, sneaking is quieter, less dangerous and very possible if you have a quiet-ish gun. (Your not meant to walk down main roads, btw.) I managed to sneak through a hot-zone today while taking out the odd zed here and there. Had i sprinted through town, snipers would have shot me dead. (As i found one at the top of the hill as i left, and he did just that.) Players are your worst enemy, not zombies. and doing that with zombies and bigger towns, will lure players. | ||

You can just ignore the zombies, it's easy to lose them in buildings with two entrances, just run in one and out another. Really the only problem with a lot of zombie agro is that its obvious to any snipers or other survivors in town where you are and the direction you're headed, but that hasn't stopped me from impatiently charging around town looting (and getting shot with high powered rifles ;D). | ||

When you have pretty much no items, doing that has pretty much no risk because all you lose is what you spawned with, so the risk/reward favors reward. If you take the hour it takes to sneak and loot a big town, not only are you in the town for longer which is riskier, your moving slower so your easier to snipe (its hard to snipe someone sprinting and zig zagging), and you would only get the same items that you would have by sprinting through it 3x faster. | ||

As I said before though, I really like the game and the fact that it's this fun when it's only in Alpha spells good things. | ||

Not so easy that you can just lol your way around towns without any fear, but right now it seems like some zombies aggro from across the world no matter how quiet you are (nor is there any rhyme or rhythm to it, they just come charging for no apparent reason). On the flip side, they probably should add a sprint meter or something. Sprinting around villages with trains of zombies kinda kills the immersion a bit no? As I said before though, I really like the game and the fact that it's this fun when it's only in Alpha spells good things. I'm getting the same feeling! For some reasons there are times where i'll aggro a zombie from like 500 meters away. I am starting to get use to the game so running from them is pretty easy if I have too, just go upstairs or run around multiple building and finally through one. That will usually cause the zombies to fuck up and go away. Some people are just hellbent are killing other players, I was fully decked out with hatchet, meds, food, and was on my way to look for a gun when i spotted another person. The guy (ricky) was chasing me and I kept telling him to fuck off, finally I just turned around and killed him with my hatchet but he did a lot of damage. Only got 1000 blood left and my guy is pretty fucked up.... Just another day trying to survive | ||

Also, zombies aggro from farther away if you stay in their line of sight for too long. If a zombie has his back to you, you can get so close it's funny. But 100m isn't far enough away if he is facing you. It's already insanely easy to not aggro or at least not die to zombies, probably shouldn't make it even easier. After playing for a few days you start to realize the real danger is other players and zombies are mostly an afterthought. | ||

There are people who would randomly open fire when they spot some players in the middle of the town and thus attracting an entire horde of zeds to himself. | ||

All it takes is one bad encounter for people to say 'fuck it, everyone dies'. Take the guys post below yours as an example. That guy he killed, if he's a normal human being will probably never trust a random stranger again. | ||

Exactly why I did it, People have done it to me and I didn't know how long before he turned around on me too. I originally wanted to only be friendly playing Day Z...No one survives being friendly. | ||
