Usually just play lonewolf and link up with random people that I help along the way but I'd like more of a group dynamic these days and also its way easier to find people and communicate over TS when compared to the in-game voip. Hit me up on Steam (same username there) if any US players want to team up. ive just been lonewolfing it, especially since there are no tents, or vehicles, or anything really to gain that requires a decent investment of time, so I havent felt the urge to group and pool resources yet. however when tents and vehicles and more and more loot/guns get added ill start grouping with TL'ers through TL TS server, which is where I met all the people i used to hang out with in DayZ mod | ||

Maybe they should reduce the aggro range a bit, it's almost impossible to sneak in a city that still has zombies in without aggroing. Also the corpses despawning instantly is annoying. Looking forward to the next page, the game definitely has lots of potential if it can finally be stable with zombies + respawning loot. | ||

Some zombies aggro waaay too quickly right now. You can't even crawl across some grass without some zombie hearing you two blocks down. I'm hoping this is a bug or intended while zombie population is low. | ||

I hated the super speed zombies from the mod... it just made no sense for something with tendons/muscles missing and degrading to be faster than me i like the "swarming" tho... IMO its a better mechanic than super speed and it makes a bit more sense. Makes them a viable threat without making them ridiculous | ||

 If this is the case it's indeed great, in the mod I was used to just run and lose them through buildings when I was looting cities. I really like their behavior in the standalone otherwise, they really feel and look like zombies, and the fact that you can dodge their attacks makes all the difference (no more insta dragonkick knocking you out while running, and you can actually kill them with an axe without taking damage outside of buildings). | ||

Tried a bit but didn't succeed, didn't try to sprint as most of my early deaths on the SA were because of passing out while sprinting haha.

Easily. No need to sprint. They do take a while before they give up tho (like several hundred meters), but they never catch up with normal jogging. | ||

i just killed 4 guys in a row with it... all of whom had m4's... all 4 of which battle disc'ed while they got shit on by my axe... so disgusting to get 4 in a row to combat log. (and this is me on the same life). 2 guys chase me into tower yellin at me to drop the axe or "fucking die" one chases me immediately... i axe him to the ground he discs. Next one runs around the building talking shit... he comes to the door... i hit him once he discs. Next guy logs back in but on the top level and no longer bleeding... i see him, get to him and put him bleeding on the floor again and he discs again. Next guy is shooting at me from a distance, he hits me once, i run around a corner, then sit behind the wall and wait for him to chase me... he does... i pop out hit him 4 times with the axe.. he hits the floor and Dc's... TLDR killed 4 douches with M4's with my log splitting axe. All 4 battle disc in terror of my axe of doom. Im currently laying on the airfield at balota waiting for someone to kill me as for some reason my char is sick and i have like half hp thanks to one of the disc'ers. | ||

Had a nicely fitted M4... I logged onto a server, hidden in a bush, and I had a synchronization problem. Invisible zombie ended up making me bleed. I had to log out. When I logged back onto another server I was knocked out for about 30 seconds. When my character came to, I bandaged myself, but my M4 was missing. Next thing I know I hear Bang! Bang! and I'm dead. That was you wasn't it. | ||

When I played dayz, however, I couldn't really do much. I spawned on a coast, and saw a small village, went over and tried to find some supplies. Found a few small things, (magazine, food, soda) and headed off to hopefully a bigger village/town/city. I ended up trekking about an hour, only seeing 1 other small village, no other players (on a close to full server) and 2 zombies. I thought this might have been just some problems with the alpha, so I bought arma 2 with steamwallet funds (always remember to put your cards up right when you get them, I made a killing off the globes), and installed DayZ for Arma2. I played around with it for awhile to much the same results. I just couldn't find anything. I looked up some youtube videos recommending I go to cherno and do some loot runs, but every video I found seemed to be aimed at players who already knew a fair bit about the game; I was totally lost. I tried doing some of the things recommended in arma2 dayz and standalone, but I just couldn't find anything and usually ended up running along a road for long stretches of time or trekking through the woods and not finding anything. Altogether I've put in about 4 1/2 hours or more between the 2 day-z's only to find 1 other player, no weapon, and a handful of zombies (all while on the most populated servers I could find. I want to be able to give good feedback, but I just don't know how to play on the most basic sense I guess. Could anyone offer me some advice to be able to actually experience dayz without wandering along lost? | ||

Its lacking content, its lacking the survival situation and i dont think its fun for newbies to walk around for hours and hours and dont find anything. There was a reason Rocket gave out a warning to everyone who thought about buying it. If you havent played the mod, dont buy it. | ||

I'll wait to buy it but i'm sure i'll enjoy it as much as the mod.This game was so tense that sometimes you got a crap pistol, see a milatary equipped guy, you run for him and scream like a madman in your mic and the guy panic. The mod was so fun. Hope to have a lot of fun with the SA when it will be more polished | ||

On the Standalone however, you can find loot pretty much anywhere, but it doesn't respawn. You'll still need to know where you are to head towards a bigger city, as you need to eat/drink more often than on the mod. The weapons are also quite a lot rarer, and there are very few implemented in the mod as of yet. I think you can find wiki's that will explain you what spawns where. The fire stations in cities (grey buildings with a tower) and barracks/command centers or whatever in military bases are where you are likely to find weapons. The mod as way more content as of now (lots of weapons, lots of zombies, vehicles, heli crash sites to search for), but the standalone should get better really quick, once they fix their stability problems that have been plaguing dayz since the start (still makes me wonder why they wouldn't use another engine as they took a full year to fix theirs for the standalone, and they still have problems when adding zombies and respawning loot it seems). Even now I feel that the fact that you can loot pretty much every building, that the graphics are so much better, and that zombies behave correctly make the standalone enjoyable, even though you pretty much end up getting a full gear with a rifle and a gun to kill some people/try to survive and then start again. This game was so tense that sometimes you got a crap pistol, see a milatary equipped guy, you run for him and scream like a madman in your mic and the guy panic. Replace crap pistol by machete or hatchet and you got it :D got so many m4s and ak this way :') | ||
