Owain WilliamsStarting playing Dayz tonight. Spent a lot of time wandering around and then dying of starvation 😂
Steve Hamilton@owaincodes it seems we have the same bad luck. Starvation gets me EVERY FUCKING TIME. Or being sick. I'm much more likely to die from either of those than to a player. The devs need to make it a bit easier to find food.
@SteveHamilton absolutely. I've read some posts saying it's best to craft a fishing rod and go fishing, but you then need a knife which is also hard to find. 😂
@owaincodes killing zombies is another way, but you need to be efficient at killing them without taking damage. They can swarm you fast. Once you get the rhythm of fighting them you'll find that about 1 in 5 zeds have a food item.
@SteveHamilton good to know. I'm on PC but did enjoy it. Just got annoyed with dying due to starving rather than zombie/player kill. 😂
@owaincodes There are servers out there that mainly focus on PVP action, if you'd rather die to players. Just find a PVP-centric server and go at it. These will be more about gunplay skills as opposed to surviving against the environment. More plentiful food, less zeds, more gun/ammo spawns. So you can focus on fighting.
@owaincodes You might want to try community servers instead of official servers. I'm playing on a server that gives you the basics as soon as you spawn. Better clothes, a backpack, a gun, food, bandages, etc. Not so much that you're fully geared, you still have to put in effort. And it doesnt seem like you're dying all the time to starvation. KOS not allowed except in military zones. Quite a bit easier to survive. New Haven PVE, not sure if they have PC servers.
@SteveHamilton thanks. I'll check them out the next time I'm online playing. My gaming is only an hour or two a week (if lucky) 😂
