I will most likely change my mind after I get raped in the face, but I think I'll try hailing them on voice comms first if avoiding them is imposibble. But be agressive about it and tell them to leave or die. Not going to trust anyone to not shoot me.

Might explain the previously unexplained camerashake Garry (and myself before I died) is experiencing?


Also: Winny nerf is a total bummer  :'(

Fired a shot with winny to test the sound; It didnt seem that much louder. It did atract a zombie though, but I was on a steep hill, so w.e.  :D
What I'm more concerned about is the nerf of the power. Haven't tested that yet.

I think Winnie sprouted my fondness of chocolate ladies.

So I think that was Msta we wandered into. Reckon it was a random sniper or their backup eye in the sky?

No clue. Doesnt explain why we didnt hear snipershots earlier, as they clearly needed backup before. What I do know is that we've learned a lesson in the consequences of overeagerness...

Managed to get on last night, european server pitch black so after a bit i manage to aggro som zoombies and die (got one of them on a lucky shot hehe)

Try again today, move around cherno not knowing what to do so venture in a bit in the outskirts. Find a house and look, hey some loot.
Manage to somehow drop and not get back my ammo!!!!

Manage to find a house with a lee enfield but one zoombie seems to have aggroed on me darn, shoot. Dead.

I'd say rule one should be "don't drop all your ammo"
 :P

But yes my intention is to get away from the coast. But if I want to be able to group up with you guys I think knowing where the hell I am could be advantageous :)

Post when you're next going to be online and we can hop on Mumble to help you along.
Day Z can be rather confusing in the beginning.

For now it's best to keep the coastline in your back and crouch run inland.
Don't forget to do the OA tutorials, they help a lot.
Avoid towns like the plague and try to get to high country. From there you will usually be able to spot the larger cities, lighthouses, landmarks, etc that will help to pinpoint where you are.

Also, if you spawn on the beach and you first cross the railroad and then the regular road, you spawned all the way west on the map.

Moved around a bit, saw a stone, shot a zombie and hid its body (couldn't figure out if it had anything on it haha) and think I'm north-west of Pusta (should be somewhere there at least, don't think I moved that much further tbh)

Where are you guys mainly holed up? and I'll try to move there in a leisurely pace :)

Rog is east of Pusta iirc (castle on a hill in some woods - water at the base of the hill its on to the west) and thats a good place as we all know were it is.

Also on some servers its a good place for loot.
