OK thanks.

At my house we have Netflix, two computers, and Xbox Live. If no one is using any of those besides me on DayZ my ping will usually be 100. If the two computers are used, my ping may be up to 150-200. If Xbox live is on, it makes me load slower, but my ping stays around 175. If someone is on Netflix, my ping will range from 800-2100. I always get kicked immediately when it gets that high. So other things can mess up your connection.

I decided to write my own DayZ story. The story will be about a man and his wife encountering the new apocolypse. I apologize for any spelling/grammar mistakes I make. If people enjoy my writing, I will continue to write, if not, I will stop writing. Hope you enjoy!! Chapter One "Bill, did you bring the ticket?", Said Emily as she started walking towards boarding entrance to enter the plane. "Yes hun. I have the tickets. And the luggage that you make me carry." I said asI hurried to catch up with Emily. These airplane ticket prices these days. I cant understand them. All I went to do is take my gorgeous wife on our honeymoon for a week, I thought. "Bill! Hurry Up! I gave the lady our tickets, now lets get on the plane! Im so excited!" Emily said. I fell asleep on the plane. I was bored of hearing my wife nag. I cant beleive Im taking here to a high class Russian city...... "Bill, wake up, were here", Emily said enthusiasticly. "Ok, lets go". I replied. As we exited the plane, I noticed dark clouds creeping up above us. I dazed at them for some time, until I heard our cab driver honk noisily at me to get in the car. Time to go to the hotel and get some more sleep. As we exit the cab after the long ride here, I look at the small, fancy, hotel we are about to enter. "Finnaly, were here. Ill talk to the desk lady. She will tell us where to go.", I said. "Hello, I booked one room for me and my wife, Emily." "Ok, let me look you up and ill let you know your room number, sir", Replied the lady. I looked at the ceiling for some time. Why am I so tired after sleeping for hours on the plane..... "Sir, Sir,?" "Oh sorry, what?" "Heres your room number, 97" "Thank you. Emily and I rushed to our room. When we got inside, the room was gorgeous! the first thing I noticed was the 72 inch flat screen TV in front of the king sized bed. I looked at the clock. 10:28 PM. Time for bed! Emily looked at me as I started getting into bed to sleep and said, "Honey! It is our honey moon! You know what were suppose to do right now! Your always so..." I fell asleep. I woke up to a crack of thunder and a flash of lighting reaching into our second floor room. The alarm clock was out. I guessed it was about 6 AM. I turned on the TV to catch some morning news. But it didnt go to the news. It went to a young man talking about something strange. "Im here in downtown Chernogorsk, where the dead seem to be rising from the ground and attacking locals." Shit. We are in Chernogorsk. "The military is advising everyone to stay indoors and that these.." The camera is dropped. I watch as the reporters feet run away. And a second later, I see 6 feet sprinting after him. I fall back asleep. Chapter Two I wake up to knocking on my door. I think its the cleaning lady. I yell, "Go away, were busy". I look out the window. I see smoke. and daylight. "Bill....Help." I here Emily say. I look to see Emily looking out the peep hole into he hall. And I also hear that banging on the door. "What?" "Look..." I look out the door. I see a girl. About 45 years old. She has a yellow dress on, and blonde, long hair. She would be pretty if she didnt have blood running down here face. I step away. "Turn on the TV", I demand. Emiy turns on the TV. The screen stays black. All of the sudden, we hear a loud crack of a Glock. Most likely used by a police officer. I know guns. I am or used to be an avid hunter. I have a small assortments of .22s, shotguns, and even an AR 15. If I hear a gunshot, I know what gun it is. I return to life. the banging stopped on the door. and someone is trying to open the door. But the bright golden door knob is locked. The man at the door shouts: "Open up! These...Things...Are everywhere!!!" I burst to the door as Emily watches from behind the bed. When I open the door, a man in a green shirt and blue, teared, jeans stumbles in, pushing me back. I fall right on my butt. I watch from the ground as this mane closes the door and puts a chairup to it, so no one can get in. "Who the hell are you?' I shout. The man lets out a sigh. "My name is Jack." "Whats going on!?" I demand "People, they are just, just, biting eachother. The police are gone and so with the military. Didnt you hear the gunshots lots night?" Maybe the thunder was actually gunshots. "Oh my god, what are we going to do!" Emily chimes in. "Jack", I say, "What are we going to do?" "Well, I say we ride this out. If you guys dont mind be being here...? "We dont mind, you know whats going on." I plead. "I woke up in my room. Same thing here. Heard knocking, opened door, got attacked. I fond a security gaurd who got bit and he told me everything. And he gave me his gun. Im sure if we wait here, someone will find us. We will be fine" He was wrong. No one found us. We werent fine. Author Note: The next chapters will have more action and longer chapters. I will put more thinking into those ones. Chapter Three "Time to move. No one is coming to help us. We have to act for ourselves.", Jack said. Emily and I were shcocked. We didnt want to talk. We just followed orders from Jack. "I have one and a half mags. If we are going to live, we need ammo. And more guns. But first we need food." I quickly replied, "The fridge has 6 sodas. The pantry here has two cans of pasta and a can of beans." "Time to move. Heres the plan. We will move our way outside. We have to get downstairs, out the door, then hopefully make our way to the firestation. We may be able to find something there. I wll take lead, Emily will be in second, and Bill, sorry but all I have is this pocket knife. You'll have to make do with it in the back." No one talked on the way out the door. Jack slipped out, then Emily, then me. I looked around. I saw a cleaning cart down the hall. I thought of the poor maid that used it. She wont be using it anymore. A few doors in the hallway were open. I didnt hear anything. Then a gunshot roar out. It was Jack. He shot a...I dont know....In the head. Then I see one of them running up to us from behind. I hold my knife ready for combat. I think I am cutting a deer open. the thing runs up to me, arms reaching to me. I see his right arm touch my shoulder. I remember the 7 years of karate I took as a kid. I push the arm away with my left hand, then swiftly stab the knife into its head with my right hand. I cant belive Just killed it. Another gunshots. And another. Im satisfied that none more are coming from behind. Less work for me. I look at Emily. Her blonde hair running down past her shoulders. I am interrupted looking at her as I feel a step hit my foot. We are at the stairs. At the bottom is the lobby. We per into the lobby. Jack states he sees 8 "Biters", as he calls them. He walks calmy into the lobby. Shoots one. Then two. Then three. Then four. He goes to shoot the fifth one, but instead of a shot, we all hear a depressing click. No time for him to reload. Four of them versus us. I lunge foward, stabbing one of the biters right in the forhead. But before I recover, another one of them hits me and we both fall on the ground. I try to fight back. I manage to get my hands on his shoulders as his mouth slowly moves closer to me. My muscles are weakening. This is the end...But before his mouth reaches my incoming neck, a brown peice of wood smashes up to the biters head. I see Emily standing above me. She saved me. As I get to my feet, I see the rest of the biters lying dead on the ground. I hear Jack squeek out, "We have to move out, before more come". "Wait" I say, "Were you in the military or something?" "Yes, but we can chat later" We slowly wallk up to the door to the outside. I remember the fire station. Its right down the street. Maybe 3 buildings down. We walk out the door. In the street, I see two cars that had a head on collision. That wouldve hurt. Blood is all over the cars. No time to observe. Jack pulls my flannel shirt. We go in a full out sprint. I follow Jack and Emily as we are lead to the fire station. I look behind me. I see biters. Eight of them. Shit. We pass a house. I see the fire station. Jack and Emily are way in front of me. I estimate 30 feet. They enter the firestation at the same time. Five seconds later, I enter. I see the butt of a gun come up and smash my nose. As I fall to th ground, I see Jack lying on the ground. His gun 2 feet away from him. I also see Emily's feet standing still. I imagine her watching. I hit the ground and shut my eyes as I pass out.

Thanks. For chapter four Im just gonna write it on paper then make sure there are no spelling errors and type it out. I will also go over the story fix the mistakes ive already made.

Alright. I will do that when I write chapter four tonoght. Besides the spelling mistakes, how do you like the story? I dont mind if you dont like it, I just want someones honest opinion.

Thanks. I was hurrying to type those three chapters, I will take more time on the ones to come.

If no one cares, I will keep writing. It gives me something to do and look forward to.

Any positive or negative comments? After re re reading, I found a lot of spelling and a few grammar mistakes. I will try to make less in the next chapters.

Ive been playing on Cheranus for months now, and Im sick of my same old route to the same 4 places. Im just bored of the map. Its also been getting easier and easier. If I somehow die, I just run to my base and re equip. So, like the title sais, what map is best for me? To get to know me a little bit to be decide, this is how I play: -My main love is the survival part. I want a map that forces you to your last can of beans everyday. A map with scarce food, and hopefully more hunting involved. -I am not one for complete PVP. In the 5 or so months Ive played, Ive only had to kill 3 people in self defense, and was only killed 2 times. -Not many people. This most likely varies server to server, but which map tends to have fewere servers. And the things Ive listed above...... Thanks for your times and opinions in advance. P.S.- I dont have time to really research all this and watch videos, so I want opinions. I was looking at Namalsk. But I didnt read too much about it.

^^ If I decide on 2017, Ill try out your server. Is it a US server? Or an England one? I will probably try Namalsk and 2017. Both sound hard. What are those bloodsucker things?

I think Ill do the 2017 one. Sounds harder than hell. I like that.

Well with little food wouldnt PvP be increased? I would kill even if it used ammo that I barely had if i was starving!

Ok. Either Namlask or 2017. I dont like how 2017 will have more PvP, but Namalsk will most likely have about the same because of so many weapons...... I guess I will try both and go from there.

Thanks haha. If i were you, Id tell him you would buy a car from him, organize the meeting spot, and find a nearby hill or somewhere to it, wait for him to arrive, and then just snipe his ass. OR organize a group of people that he has killed, then hunt him with them. Better chances of winning that way.

What is the terrain like on Namalsk?

Rule #1. Dont get attached to items. I lost a heli, URAL full of nearly two of every gun, and my UAZ full of ammo. It happens. Just gotta move on

Sometimes it is just a server issue. Maybe exiting and rejoining the server may help. Sorry, Im not an expert, but this might help.

I thought only two of them were gonna come for me. If only two came, I wouldve killed both of them. But the odds of winning a 1 v 3 when they have M240s and SAWs and you have a DMR is unlikely. I was angry and just wanted to try. Besides, I was looking for a new server anyway.

100% agreed.

This is the story of what made me become a bandit. Two guys robbed me as a fresh spawn, taking my M9. Which is slightly pathetic. They were in a small clan. Three of them were online at the time. So, I made my way to NWAF, found a DMR and set up a trap. I lied, saying "Can you guys help me, I broke my leg and dont want to lose my DMR and car?".....Knowing they were bandits, I knew they would come and kill me. but my legs werent broken. Good plan. I asked how many people were coming to help, and one of them said it was just him. Which was a lie. I sat on top of the Firestation and wanted. Then I see a car pull up. One man driving. Two passengers. Their whole team. What lying thieves. I lied, saying I was in the building across from the fire station, so one man went into the building as the others waitied in a hangar. When he checked the whole building, he started crawling out, so I sniped him right on the forehead. The other two guys didnt notice I killed their friend, but they saw me on the firestation and pinned me down with their M240s. When they stopped to reload, I popped up and and had one man in my sights, was litteraly about to kill him, when the other man who dissapeared, shot me in the back. For my second fire fight, I'd say I did OK. But will improve in time.

So when I go on DayZ commander, I double click my server, go to the lobby, click ok to join the game, then the first loading screen comes up, it loads all the way, and then a new loading bar comes up, it loads up all the way but then a 0 appears on the bottom right of my screen and nothing happens. Like it freezes. Why??????? If I keep trying and trying it eventually stops freezing at that spot but it takes like 5+ tries. I dont have time for this!!!!!!

I was playing normally, my ping was a bit higher than usual, but still good enough to play, and then all of the sudden I get the "No message Recieved for 10 seconds" popup. So I abort the game, go back to DayZ Commander and double click on the same server,and then it goes right to the "Wait for Host" screen....Why?? Thanks, CPP

No it wasnt the server restart, that was like 30 minutes before this happened. And the server restarts every 6 hours. But its good now, it fixed itself.

When something bad happens, you lose your car, you die, your heli crashes, what do you do to blow off steam?? I got mad because someone stole everything at one of my bases, so I got my last car and headed to Cherno. Most of my ammo and guns was at my other raided base, so all I had was a Mini Uzi with 3 mags, M4 with 8 mags, and a DMR with 4 mags. I grabbed the DMR and Mini Uzi and climbed up to the top of Cherno's fire station. Then I started shooting, until I was out of ammo in my DMR. I climbed down, shot more zombies with my Uzi, then set off again in my car. I stopped at a few more towns on the way back to my base. The end result was a total of 146 zombies killed.

Crackpotpeach. I love crack. I love pot. I love peaches. Nah, Im just messing with you. Dont do drugs! Crackpotpeach was a name suggestion Xbox Live when I first joined it, so I always use the name for everything.
