I just had a pretty good adventure tonight. The boyfriend and I were tired of having our maxed out gear, so we log onto the most populated server we can find to try and go bandit hunting. Unfortunately, I get sniped within seconds of loading in. I wasn't too upset. I was more upset over the fact I didn't even get the fun of fighting back. Anyway, I spawn up around Komarovo and start heading east toward Cherno. I see little puffs of smoke that appear to be gunpowder. Around the corner appears a player with a hatchet. She starts running when she sees me until i tell her i'm friendly and unarmed. At that point she gives me a hatchet for myself. Once equipped, I see another player running toward a warehouse, with a couple zombies behind him. I alert the other player, and we investigate. There was a bandit running around hacking at us with again, a hatchet xD He had killed her, but I was able to avenge her death. Once I was getting hit though, I was prepared to die. But I wasn't finished. My blood was flashing red and I was able to heal, but my vision was almost in 8-bit, it was getting dark, and I kept passing out. I still ventured east along the coast making the occasional distress call, not getting my hopes up. Moments later, a man in a guille suit appears and asks me what i'm doing, since I'm prone. I respond, "Dying." xD I told him the event with the bandit and went to grab me a blood pack. I was all healed up, he gave me a weapon, and just seconds later, hackers start shooting at us. It was a short run, but a good run. Nice to see that there's still friendlies out there. I've only encountered bandits in my past. So this was a nice change of pace.
