It was a normal evening like anyother. Doing Epoch. Then suddenly in the teamspeak someone whispers *Standalone is out* these news reached our game server aswell. Player numbers just cleared. Wait for host to let you log out. I crashed my SUV in the sheer pandemonium of wanting to alt tab. Bought DZSA and insta deleted the mod. I will dedicate all my dayz time into this. Spent good 10 minutes trying to make my default character my own. Then i spawned, giggling like some dimwhit whilst watching the loading screen. My first landfall was at kamenka -> Komarovo road. Amazed by how much better the SA is looking even at night. Spent another 5 mins fiddling with the flashlight. Chalked it down as a bug in my mind and ran (figured it out 10+ min later though :P ). spent some time just taking the ambience in. Ran over to the 3story industrial by komarovo. OFC someone with a flashlight tried to beat me to death (had a fire extinguisher myself :P ) and he ran off. Made my way over to balota and found some generic stuff. Sides a backpack nothing much in the barracks. Checked the hangers and then found a body, looted him and then went to the ATC, alot of deados in there. Make my way up and look around. ROCKET AVIATORS!! Then ofc the random aggro bambi come around and picks a fight (i had a wrench at this point), his fists was no match for me! He ran aswell and at this point i felt that he will get it went for a chase, game crashed... Log back in unconsious... Dead... Either way loved every moment of it. The SA actually doesnt feel early alpha to me. More beta tbh. But that just raises my expectations for it. My last alpha participation was ... Dont even want to say that name anymore, makes me gag. But Sergey ring any bells? KUDOS ROCKET! FOR MAKING THIS A GREAT EXPERIENCE EVEN IN ZERO HOUR!!! As for the KoS, it is a part of the dayz experience. Havnt we all been there? Noticed the better gear and managed to take him out. Screaming in victory IRL and rifling thru the goodies. I am a "bandit" usualy KoS nowadays, pending on mood tbh. NOTE! My first 2 years in the dayz community i was exclusive hero player. Never really payed off. To many douches out there. Only the last 6 months i adopted banditry. Though good guy bandit :P Like to help aswell ;)
