Ooooooh man. Sneaky night time zeds. My scariest night time story, it was late evening during the first week I started playing and I decided to make a run for Stary before the sun set. I took a visual bearing for Zub and descended into the darkening valley. I pretty badly mistimed it though, I was less than half the distance to Stary when the sun went down and the moon was nowhere and boy was it black with a vengeance. I was in the middle of nowhere with just 20 flares. As it turned out I had just enough flares to almost get back to Cherno, but then I accidentally fired my Enfield instead of throw a flare and dinner bell was on in full force. I couldn't run from zeds and throw flares at the same time, and I couldn't run too far from the flare I had out because then I would get hopelessly lost in the dark. I had to battle it out right there with my Enfield against an almost never ending supply of zeds. Night time is so much fun.

Hahaha okay, city boy. I take it you've never been in a pitch black moonless night far away from cities. Zero ambient light. ARMA is the only game that does night time even remotely close to realistically.

Yep. When I first started playing in May, there were so few servers around that they were all 100% full 24/7. People played in the dark because they had no choice. But now there are more than enough slots to go around, the item duplicators have spammed NVG's for themselves, and the community has been invaded by kids who aren't up to the challenge of playing at night.

Pretty sure 4chan is here for the night.

Sounds like OP got a little sand in his vagina last time he spawned on the coast.

I'll give you SVD ammo, but I want your SVD for it.

Rosie Palm and her 5 sisters.

Guys. Guys, listen. This kid is the generation of the future. We are so fucked.

His mom won't let him have root beer until he's 13.

By the way, you can't kill 2 people and then expect not to have attracted attention to yourselves. If I heard enough shooting to drop 2 guys on the move, I'd be running to the gunshots at full sprint with a giant "I'm going to murder these jackasses" boner.

Yeah I've got a right hand too but I don't call it my girl.

Well that explains the tragic lack of social skills and English composition.

Time. Count the chimes and it'll tell you what o'clock it is.

No thanks, I really like DayZ now that I don't have to listen to the pissy moaning of teenagers. It's bad enough that they play the game, I don't want to have to read their inane discussions about how they're going to fuck my mom or whatever. No, side chat can stay dead please.

Wow, just stop right there, Mr. Internet know it all. .45 is STOPPED by nearly all class of ballistic vest. Pistol rounds of almost all calibers are stopped by vests. An it's not going to "smash all your ribs" for gods sake. Stop talking if you don't know what you're talking about.

Mmm...no. It's 225 square kilometers. Roughly 15km in either direction.

You might not have seen anyone, but damn sure someone has seen you.

DayZ always gives its share of laughs. Here's mine. Running up the east side of the hill behind the power plant in Elektro. I know there's a sniper up there with a .50 cal picking off nubs as they hit the beach. He sees me coming up the ridge line, and he hits me a few times with his M4 SD. I drop to 4,000 blood, and take off back down the hill. I run through a few bushes and hide behind a tree to bandage. I only get half way through bandaging when he comes crouch-running down the hill after me. He's in a ghilie and I'm sure I'm a dead man. However, he somehow doesn't see me behind the tree and runs right by me. I finish bandaging in a few seconds, and put my Enfield sights on him. He slows down to check around a tree about 20 meters from me and I put a round right trough his head. I had to laugh to myself about his name, "I Sniped You". He had NVG, rangefinder, Barrett, M4 SD, full tool belt, enough meat to heal me back to 12,000. It was great.

It's not about luck my friend, it's about hunting no-talent assholes. Wear headphones, hang out in the tree lines around Cherno and Elektro, and when you hear the crack of a rifle you go looking for it. Sometimes you run into someone who has at least the common sense to change position after firing, or keep an eye open on their surroundings instead of just glued on their scope. Those guys are the dangerous ones. Sometimes you find a real dumbass who crouches in no cover and just blasts away like it's CoD. Those are the kills so easy you can do it with an axe.

Get an Enfield. Run around until you find a player with better gear. Shoot them in the face and take everything. Works every time, 80% of the time.

Only slightly worse than the glass bottle.

That's part of the DayZ experience. I crawled around Stary one night for 45 minutes looking for morphine. Between the darkness, zeds, bandits, a GAZ full of heavily armed men, it was one of the most intense and memorable gaming experiences ever. If you're playing DayZ to "win" or something like that, you're doing it wrong. The game is about the journey and not the destination. Play it like that and you will find it infinitely rewarding.

It doesn't matter what you think, because you're wrong.

Last time I was there I killed 2 dudes and took their truck full of loot.

The annoying school age children here who say their stupid school age childish shit.
