Crazy one

Iv'e lasted 22 days playing this way, mostly from surviving in the furthest reaches of the map, the least populated less player traffic areas, where there is atleast one supermarket, if i do see another player i watch from a distance and never make contact.

Explore then die

I'm loving the patch and it's changes,i'm a new player, maybe i'm a sadist and love the hurt/fear and paranoia this game gives, iv'e tried servers that cater to base building/vehicles everywhere, weapons in abundance etc etc etc and they just don't do it for me, i always return to official servers with the bare minimum, bandage and flares only. for me the loot rareity is great hard but great.

And that's why i favourited it and play on it, the server gives me the purest Day Z survivor exerience i can get

Great line and this is right you live you die, it's survival harsh reality, i'm playing on a server where your starting gear is just a bandage and flares, that's it i had a good run learning not to get near Zeds treating them as the main threat to my life, i ended up infected(my own mistake) couldn't find antibiotics for love or money. i died in the end, oh well now to start the thrill ride all over again. And OP stick with it i found it tricky to play months ago when i was a new player, it's a lot harder more harsh now, make your own story, if you die 20 time so be it we all learn and adapt to any given situation is human nature. seriously patience is the key

They both look really good nice work man beans for you.

Well said people have to treat it that way a very hard enviroment with nothing but scraps to survive on,

Even in the standalone i won't kill anyone haven't done in the mod yet and have no intention of killing anyone, i will survive like i always have done no contact just me and the basics, i don't want good gear or any extra's, if someone kills me then so be it, it's no big deal i just start over again, i will make my own story in this game, and others can do what they want make their own stories,

yeah the zombies are the threat, and i can't wait for the SA to come out, oh well into the fire i go haven't played for a while, lets see how long i last with the new patch. :( Ps: thanks for the replies nice to know i'm not the only one who plays this way Peace.

I suppose for me it's trusting another person, iv'e had contact made on me, met up got killed it's happened a few times, which has probably led me to playing the way i do. mind you it also doesn't help me that every time i speak on the mic the first response i get is Are you Jackfrags, some believe me when i say no, others don't and try to hunt/find me.

Just come back to the game haven't updated to new patch yet, judging by the responses in here the game is a little harder to stay alive, especially with infection must update and try it.

I have that feeling of epicness everytime i play, How? well i play it like i'm the only one in the server (see i have 2 servers i play on) one is a base building vehicle server full of players and AI which is fun. The other server is Pure Vanilla this one i play like i'm the only one in it, i , My sig explains i detatch all player contact in there and play it like a pure survival game.

The most stupid thing iv'e done in Day z is trusted someone, pure and simple.

Good stuff man.

Totally agree, also once dead all your stuff disappears ingame.

Funny enough reading through his original i don't think so, i presume he wants to play online in an empty server by himself, but he could make it a SP experience even in a full server which is what i do in some ways

Find a vanilla server (i play on one) and Play it like single player, just vanish into the hills and survive on your own away from everything else while killing and avoiding zombies, with the first sign of another survivor either run in opposite direction or go prone on floor and wait till they have gone, That's how i play it (iv'e made a kinda SP experience for myself) i'm on 21 days surviving with the basic kit, no high end gear nothing.My sig for reference and the server gets highly populated the fun part is the paranoia fear of being found with so many people in the server, to this day in the 4 months iv'e been playing i haven't killed anyone yet. And i also play another server for the other side of day z, vehicles, bases people etc etc etc, i prefer the vanilla side more

True but A] that's what happened to him first,with that situation it becomes P v P which is part of day z wether right or wrong, he had every right to retaliate back b] unfortunately 80+ of servers now encourage P v P KOS etc etc etc, it's become more and more prevelant in this game, will it stop nope not even in the Stand alone, might be harder but it's the nature of the players. Exploiting Humanity Mechanics sounds like just killing to lower/higher your humanity to get either hero or bandit skin, i presume thats what the Admin was reffering to.
