Just started playing DayZ and am clueless....HELP!

I have a two step program for you in order to reach DayZ greatness ÂÂ*:D

Step 1: Log onto OG TS.

Step 2: Speak to Commando (he's a nice chap). Â*He knows his stuff when it comes to DayZ, in fact he's in DayZ so ÂÂ*much he pays Dean Hall rent. Â*:P

I've put DayZ aside for the moment, but back when it was fairly unknown I made a forumpost about the game with a couple of useful links. Check it out here: http://www.oldguys.eu/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=5585

Couple of tips:

- Never get attached to your gear. You will die a lot and loose everything. But for me the most fun aspect of the game is actually starting from scratch and scavenging gear and basic survival tools.

- Use http://dayzdb.com/map!

- Zombies can't run inside buildings. Run into a building (barns or warehouses are good) to ditch them or take them out.

- Group up with other players you can trust.

- A useful tactic is playing when it's nighttime on the map. It's much harder for other players to spot you and the aggro range for zombies (sight and sound) is much lower. If you tweak graphics settings like gamma and brightness you can still have decent visibility.

Have fun man!
