Maybe this is why I'm finding it difficult starting off with... I do seem to get spotted too easily, but now I know at least what those eye and ear icons means.

I keep spawning in water, very very north.

It happened after me and Jord changed server, I spawned in the water miles away from where I logged off. Every time I kill myself and respawn it's in the water.

for a fatty you're a serious intellectual lightweight.

New patch made it impossible to start.

No gun, super-eagle-eyed zombies. What the fuck.

Can't you just run them over with a car?

There's a slight possibility the corpse I just looted was a hacker.

SLIGHT.

I need advice:

Best way to start off from spawn? As in, where to go, etc.
Best way to lose a zombie/zombies chasing me? I usually try running into a building and hoping they caught on walls. This doesn't help if there are no buildings.

I've read that the latest patch didn't intend to make Zombies this bad-ass, so maybe it was a bad time to start playing, but I literally can't do anything. I've never once found a gun in any loot, just ammo.

I use www.dayzmap.info, too.

So, advice?

Wait, so I have a choice of what patch to run?

Many servers running the older one?

I do just have the worst luck. My first trip into Elektro went that exact route, except I went into the Office before the store (It was raining and at night, I was low on blood so it was just a "Fuck it" thing).

I found no guns.

But I'll try again, now. Cheers for the help

there arent many populated 1.7.0 servers anymore, perfect for easy hopping though

1.7.1.1 hotfix is out:

* [FIXED] Server item cleanup error (thanks Dwarden for identifying)
* [FIXED] Server weighted random object error (thanks Dwarden for identifying)
* [REVERT] 5 second delay for disconnecting (will need to wait till new method developed)
* [REVERT] Disabling of interior raycasting (will mean some buildings you will be invisible/can't be hit in for the moment as they don't have view LODs)
* [REVERT] Infected sight based on head not body direction (infected glace around alot, this meant that they had super view directions. Now locked at body direction)
* [FIXED] Area not checked for existing infected before spawning new ones ("blind faith" that it had not made a mistake didn't work)
* [FIXED] Crippling performance issues caused by loot items never being cleaned up (loot now cleaned up)
* [FIXED] Tent pitching (Who the hell codes tent location checks TWICE before pitching? Oh apparently I do)
* [NEW] Marakov spawn rate increased
* [NEW] Small chance Mararov ammo will spawn on an infected
* [FIXED] Converting magazines didn't work if you had MORE than one of that magazine type (now works as intended)
* [NEW] Tweaked audibility and visibility values for kneel walking
* [REVERT] Secret nerf of prone (you noticed)
* [NEW] Can select gender for each new character
* [FIXED] Toolboxes aren't spawning (classname error in loot table)
* [NEW] Small tweaks to AI zombie routines to improve performance
* [REVERT] New spawn timer mechanism (back to the old one for now)

So much better. Managed to actually evade zombies now and got some supplies from some place.

Think last night was just a bad time to start.

Gonna start from scratch with Lewis and Joe and I didn't really wanna get "boosted" as it were.
