This game is driving me mad. I cant seem to find anything or do anything. Been playing for over 4 hours now, and have only managed to find an axe. Does anybody know how to equip it or if I even can use it to attack zombies?

Ive been trying to follow guides and have been looking up the controls constantly but it seems to be really poorly covered.

Same problem here with the axe.
Right click it after pressing "G" to open your pack.

It should give you the option to "remove from toolbelt"<<well it did for me.

Then it will be in your pack above to the right.Just highlight it select "rearm" and then when you have it in your hand you have to hit "r" to reload it.Took me a while to figure it out but I did get 3 kills with it.Found a gun and then someone decides to shoot me in the supermarket in that electro place.But I took 1 of them with me and got the other one after the hour glass came up and I was still kind of alive--dont understand that hourglass thing and the point of it really..Its a mad kind of game and needs a lot of work with the controls etc but its mad addictive!!

Who was that who ambushed our bus? I would have killed you but as soon as I aimed at you my FPS went to about 10 FPS and my aim ****ed up so bad.

Hardly an ambush, we crossed paths

Shame your mate disconnected, have to ban him now.

Its annoying how hard the zombies are to get rid of. I was literally running for a good 5 minutes with this 1 spastic of a zombie that just wouldnt go away. :mad:

If you're near steep hills you can run down them to kill running Zs. Or if there are some big pinetrees, you can run into the branches, crouch walk out, and most of the time you can lose them.

Did anybody lose any tents with this upgrade? Lost a tent with alot of stuff in it, guns ammo food...ahwell, better to have lost it to a glitch, rather than somebody stealing it and selling it on the black market!

imo i believe tents don't actually save till the server gets restarted. so i just plant come bk after server restart and then store.

Still not getting the hang of this.

As soon as I get near a building a zombie will eventually appear and kill me. I haven't found any weapons at all.

The only bit of fun I've had was finding a bike! Cycled for ages along the roads, waving to all the zombies unable to keep with me.

Anyone want to meet up in the game to help me survive longer than 5 mins?

Magill · 14-07-2012 09:59PM

Krys on boards ? Felt really bad about that, but your backpack was and your mate had a nice weapon on him (Im guessing he was with you ? Kinda got lucky with him).

Hehe, was a fun little firefight. I told him not to disconnect and fight for the bus but he pussied out to save his SVD camo.

Ok heres a complete newbie tip.Ive only found my first axe today but once I got the locations on the map down I nearly always find one in a couple of minutes.
When you spawn take note of where it says you are in teh bottom right of the screen--It only flashes up for a second so be quick.Use the map that others have linked to to find items http://dayzdb.com/map#3.080.083

This will give you a rough idea of where you are.

Head for any of the medium or high value locations on the map (hover the mouse cursor over the map and it`ll give you a description)..youre nearly always guaranteed to find at least an axe.Equip the axe as desccibed earlier and at least now you can kill a few zombies.Crawl or crouch walk (use the left shift to walk slowly) everywhere and keep the zombies in line of sight.
Its taken me a week to get this far so just be patient!!!

How to cure a broken bone?

After a few hours of running around with a lee enfield and a winchester I happened upon a deer stand on my way to Stary. Sneaked up and no Zed's nearby so hit climb and I get set upon from behind from a Zed that appeared out of nowhere.

Get to the top of the deer stand and I have a broken leg! On the plus side I did find an AKM with 3 mags so put the Zed to sleep for good. But I now have to crawl everywhere which is sucking rightly. I'd say i'm about a 10 minute crawl from Stary maybe - will I find anything there to fix it?

You need Morphine. You won't find any at Stary I don't think. You'll need a hospital or for someone to look for you and help.

edit : As dan said head to the military tents. Chances are you'll get shot before you make it there though

dan_ep82 · 14-07-2012 11:02PM

morphine.

You can find it in military area's and hospitals

jaysis came across him on the ground with only a hatchet, gave him painkillers and food

cocoshovel · 14-07-2012 11:19PM

Im in a fairly big town with a rail yard and docks. Im in some fire station tower now overlooking the place. Seems pretty dead, I expected to see somebody by now. Finally found a gun :rolleyes:

God knows how long Ill last though. Im half afraid to shoot it here incase I attract a hundred more zombies.

Just out of curiosity, is everybody hostile on this server? :pac:

Also, what does the red broken chain that appears in the bottom right of the screen mean? It appears every now and then for a few seconds......I appeared to have been kicked.

quarryman · 14-07-2012 11:20PM

Server issues anyone?

Server was restarted.

Two players banned for disconnecting in the last 2 hours, beware if you disconnect during PVP on IE1 you WILL be banned!

desaparecidos · 14-07-2012 11:29PM

I love having NV goggles in the pitch black. I only join night time servers these days. Fun to stalk the newly spawn armed only with flashlights

SgtBob · 14-07-2012 11:32PM

not sure what i did, but i'm suddenly getting 20fps more than normal

This is a very handy prog.. 40% increase for me and added bonus of video / screen shots on demand!

LOL, He had an AK, large backpack + blood packs/morphine etc... its actually funny because i recorded it with fraps, but thought there was only one so i turned it off after i had killed him. In the recording you can see his mate (Posh Hairy P i think)crawling at the back lol. His mate had a lovely red dot m14.

cocoshovel · 14-07-2012 11:47PM

kicked for 900 ping :eek:

Dont see why you came at me with the hatchet Ponster I was going to let you live.

I was a friend of mine that I was trying to convince to buy ARMA so he could play it with me. He saw you and I screamed at him to go into the next door. He did that but unfortunately the room you were in had 2 doors and ended up behind you. he panicked and attacked.

Funny sh*t. You killing him convinced him to buy it though

I refuse to kill someone who hasn't attacked me first. Managed well enough so far, plenty of players get killed while holding some nice loot, or distract the zombie hordes long enough for me to slip in and clean out a house. Maybe some day I'll actually plug in my mic and make an effort at real human contact, although seeing everyone tear into each other like rabid wolves puts me off bothering.
