Before I get into the actual best feeling, let me start from the beggining. So for the first time in about a week or so, i decided to hop on Dayz for about an hour. I was egar to get some quick action so i found a server with 48 players on it and hoped right in. When I spawned in, i ended up near balota and i was also about 100m from another survivor. Being the friendly person that I am, I talked to him a little and asked him where he was going. He said that he was headed to the airfield. I told him that I was too but I wanted to check an industrial area nearby. I head off to the industrial area and I don' find too much. Now, my thirst indicator was getting a tad bit low and I was in need of a weapon so i hurried over to the airfield. To my surprise, I see not one, but two Hueys! On top of that, I see a SUV. The SUV, from what I could see, only had a tire or two missing! Seconds later I hear gun shots and the same person that I had spoken too before appeared in the death chat. This worried me. Did he get KoSed? Was he noob and not know how to handle zombies? Either way, I stayed put for about a few minutes. That is when I saw a guy messing around with one of the hueys. I wasn't sure if he was repairing it, or was just adding fuel. I thought that he may take off but eventually he just ran off. After he had ran off, I decided that I would take my chances and see what I could find. I first headed to the hangers and the air control tower. I found some drinks and an AKM. The AKM only had one mag with it and that had to be used to save my hide from zombies. I then found an M1014 and decided to take that. After losing a lot of blood and patching myself up, I ran over to the industrial part of the airfield. Upon entering one of the industrial buildings, I encoutered another survivor. I asked him if he was friendly. He didn't say anything, but he leaned left and right. I guess that was him trying to tell me that he was friendly. I let him be and checked the 2nd warehouse. In their I found two tires. Immediatly, I remembered the SUV and picked up one of the tires. If needed, I would be able to come back and get the other one. Trying to repair the SUV was pretty tough. Everytime I got near the darn thing, the zombies ran me off as if they were the protectors of the SUV. After a few tries I had a clear shot at the SUV and was able to fix one tire. Fifteen minutes later and I had the second one on. I quickly hoped in, not evening knowing if it had gas. Thankfully, It had a quater of a tank. As it started to drive, I got a huge grin on my face. This was the first time I had ever fixed up a car and driven it off. It was truly, the best feeling I have ever had in DayZ. For those of you who are still reading, I ended up refulling at a gas station, and headed up north. I eneded up stumbling into someone out in the middle of nowhere. He shot at me but the good'ol SUV took it like a champ. I drove off in fear and ended up hiding it and logging off. I want to also add that this was on a private hive with 500+ vehicles and other sorts of various tweaks. I know that what I did was really not that impressive but for me, It was almost an achievment of sorts. Hopefully when I log back in it will be there tomorrow. I won't be upset if its not. I honestly don't expect it to be. So tell me everyone, what was the best feeling you have ever had in dayz? Thanks for reading :) P.S. - It is 1:00 as I am writing this so I apologize for grammatical errors or just a lack of good writing. I am tired but this is an awesome expereience that I needed to share!

I got one! Instead of actually gaining thirst from Soad, you actually lose thirst and you become even more dehydrated! But who cares! It tastes good. Right?

I actually have yet to stumble upon a big campsite. One of these days, I am going to set out and look for one. Any tips on were to find them?

I think the new item names were a nice gesture. The mods do a lot for this community and deserve recognition. I think this is a nice feature for now, but in the SA, they should just stick with generic names. I am not upset about this at all. I think some people take the realism part of this game wayyy to far.

For some reason, Whenever I try to launch Arma 2: OA I get an error that says: Bad Serial Given in Setup. I have had this game since July 2012 and have never had this problem. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, using regedit, verifying the integrity of the game cache, running steam as admin, and ofcourse, restarting my computer. None of these possible solutions have proven succesful. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

Ok I'll do a bit more digging and see what I can find. I downloaded the tarviana off Dayz Commander, which I think can be trusted. Thanks for your help.

No i have not. I have never downloaded anything for this game except for tarviana 2.0.
