What do you use to play it?

Just got hack dropped for the first time...considering never playing again.

just respawned on the coast, anybody ?

also where do you find sniper riffles ? been to a ton of barns and a dozen deer stand and only got shotguns

military tents, barracks, heli crashes

finally got a dmr

got an FN Fal, thing is sweet imo.

managed to connect to a server using sixlauncher quick start but I dont like it I like to chose the server.
I spawned on the coast but didnt lose my gear.
this game doesnt make things easy lol.

go with dayz commander IMO way better

youll find the cz550 in the high value farms a lot, its not the best sniper rifle but i like it.

i used it before and I tried it again and launching the game in different ways too.
the bad thing with 6launcher is I have no idea what version Im on.
I used to update everything manually before it.

rhaaaaa so I got in a server and spawned on an empty island.
server hoped a few times and still on that island.
wtf!

..... anyone has a boat here

got this the other day, after a few hours of playing ive still not run into another real person.

i must be a huge noob, cause ive been killed by zombies in my first 4 players, finding it hard to find guns/ammo

dont worry, after about 5 hours playtime you will laugh about the stupid zombies that are not a threat anymore and be equipped with all basic equipment after about 20-30 min...

lets hope so!

how often do you guys run into another person on average? i was expecting to bump into someone every 10 minutes or so....

Depends on where you are roaming and how many people are on the server. I'd say on average I run across 1 player/hour when I don't even know where I am.
That usually results in one dying..

If you see someone with a gun in your area then either run or shoot him.

I usually run out of the room and say if you don't leave then you die.

Fair warning, maybe even too much mercy.
