When while sitting in the doctor's office waiting room you notice an industrial structure across the way and begin to formulate a strategy for safely looting it. When on a smoke break at work you notice someone cutting through the employee parking lot and wonder nervously if that person is friendly. As said person passes by you say under your breath "Friendly! I am friendly."

There is such a thing, but before you use google to find out about it consider just what DayZ is. DayZ game play is at least seventy-five to eighty percent about interaction with other players - evading them, meeting them, shooting at them, surviving them. Look, when I began playing I had a moment of exasperation over the sometimes asinine behavior of others and I too wished for a single player experience but then I realized what DayZ was all about. At the very least you ought to get some more experience under your belt and while doing so, imagine the game without the tension other players lend it. You just might change your mind.

Come in from north of the tents. Allow zombies to disperse a bit. Low crawl from tent to tent, hatchet ready to silently chop down any that aggro on you.

Yes, a number of times. On foot, by boat, air and road. When one route does not pan out, find another and another and another. Keep moving, stay paranoid and lock and load some beans.

- When planning a mission, also plan your death. - Helicopters are meant to fly ... a little bit. - There are many open fields devoid of snipers in in wait. Ensure this assumption by crossing them. - Hitchhiking is a great way to experience evolution. - Most roads in Cherno lead to someplace eventually. When walking along their shoulders they all lead to hell. - Crossing fields in a vehicle is a great shortcut ... to a demolished ride. Mind those moss covered field walls. - The better your weapon, the shorter your life ... most of the time. - Shiny trinkets make you popular ... everyone wants to give you lead in awe.

Pedantically clips nails and and reloads a magazine with the inserts that slipped from between the pages and fluttered to the ground. Bang, bang. You're on a video game forum.

I was an Egyptian demiurge in a previous life. While I no longer retain the ability to smite whole armies, the name remains kind of catchy. Retronyms are so tacky.

Op, just rent a server from a provider like DayZ.st, password lock it and play on your own all you like. You never have to let another player join if you do not want to, although you will get bored and or lonely at some point.

I am one heck of a helicopter pilot, and I tend to have great luck flying or driving away from conflict. If you're on board or aboard a vehicle I am at the helm of, chances are you will escape danger with your life intact ... until we run out of fuel, crash and die in a spectacular ball of flame and beans. Other than that, I can devise a good ambush when sufficiently annoyed by other players. Everything else ... I am my own worst enemy.

A nice start to what could eventually be a really good story. I enjoyed it, OP. Keep writing and no matter what anyone else tells you, keep writing. Not to sound too repetitive but keep writing, darn it! You're young, you like to write and the more you do, the better you will get at it. Also, stay as true to your original vision for the story as you can. Accept and conservatively listen to criticism but don't let it make you abandon your work. Keep at, and at it and at it. Who knows, one day I might see the whole of this story in hardcover form at my local bookstore.

A bandit's outrage over someone who does not play fair? No ... this is good. The drama some DayZ players generate is first rate entertainment. Please write us another story in the same vein. But seriously OP, you've confessed to sneaking up behind other players and taking them out. Do you genuinely think you deserve some kind of battlefield honor from others - such as the revelation of their true intent before they act - in light of your own code of interaction? Everyone who plays DayZ "pays their money and takes their chances".

If it happens again, contact the admin of the server. Explain your situation, then ask him kindly to remove it from your inventory.

Also, if you do use DayZ Commander make sure you have Origins installed or Origins servers may not show up. I had that problem.

A favorite place of mine to get a ride when I was new to the game was Altar 081 - 059 (coordinates). A UAZ spawns there with DMR ammo, or used to. Also try: - Myshkino 021 - 080 (pickup truck) - Msta 112 - 099 (pickup truck) - Tulga 128 - 108 (skoda sedan) - Gorka 096 - 063 (sedan and tractor) Good Luck ...

I met this guy on Taviana a long time ago who claimed to have never before tried the map. We met up on the bridge between islands and because he did not shoot me outright, I figured he was a legit friendly, or noob or whatever. I had a British Offroad at the time. We rode over to the airport and eventually arrived at the field by the barracks north of Martin. By that time, he had broken his leg somehow, and we were driving a red VW. I volunteered to crawl into the barracks and search for morphine to deal with his wounds. I made it into the barracks, found morphine, everything was cool. Next thing, he drives our car into the middle of the base and aggros a ton of zeds. I give him the medicine and he asks me to check the other two barracks. As I am going room by room, he drives off in our car stating in chat something like "thanks for the wheels, fool." A short time later he and some buddy are shooting people over on the bridge where we met, while spouting off about being awesome bandits. At any rate, I found a huey and offered them a ride if they would meet me at the central airport. They did. They came right out on the runway, but would not get out of (my) their car. So I dove into them doing about 150. What do I regret? I bailed out of the chopper about fifty meters up. A good captain always goes down with his ship. Oh, well maybe next time.
