Excanto

Stress tests...I like the sound of that! Count me in! Lets see, uh..bark..sticks..chickens..flake knife...pond..ya count me in!

Don't forget sharpening your stone knife with the big mined rocks.

Got on Stable last night and wandered the coast, expecting to be killed and eaten at any moment. Never saw a soul. It seemed like the clouds were blowing all sorts of different directions, I could not find the big dipper. Found a bus and drove around and stopped at a nice town and got something to eat and drink and spent the night at a nice little farm on the outskirts. Played with the crossbow for a bit and did some one shot kills on zombies. It is nice to shoot in town without being overrun. Can't wait to get to a base and find a silenced weapon and a big pile of ammo. Big pick is my choice for melee, since it hits well and can make a garden plot. Seems like it is spring time in zombieland. Nights are comfortable and I'm not dead from cold in 9 minutes of play. I have yet to see rain in 62. The howl of the wind on a hillside is cool. I haven't been eaten by wolves yet in 62 either. Well, almost off work and after I make dinner and do the dishes, I'll log in and probably get killed and eaten.

Use Bark and sticks for fireplace, you don't need to lose a rag anymore. Bark and stick for hand drill to start it. I have been killing chickens bark and sticks the last couple wipes :-)

Last night I barbecued a survivor to test the sound of going crazy. Nothing for awhile and then I heard this insane laughter/cry/scream sound. Scared the crap out of me, cause I had the sound up pretty high. Ok that worked.

I have had this happen to an SKS, had 4 rounds and loaded it, ran for about 10 miles and got jumped by a zombie inside a house, Click..thought a dud bullet, switched to axe. I checked the rifle and there was no empty command available, those 4 rounds just fell out on the trail I guess :-D

Right after an update, if you don't work or happen to have the timing to get on then, loot is crazy everywhere. By the time I get home and get on, not so much. I made a stone knife, cut a branch for a nice weapon and stabbed me a chicken. Barbecued those two breasts and mmm, looked at the stars and wandered around. Drank from a big pond (shivers) and strolled through a town off the coast and followed some guy all in red of all things. Trees look great, jittery graphics. Sounds are great, footsteps are pretty quiet. I might actually try fishing tonight. :-D

Ya, no one is going to sniper me from a mountain in that soup. It will be a seriously fast fight if I run into anyone though, due to the short range. I heard some zombies ahead and ran into 4 close to each other and found later that I was just outside that little base south of NW airfield. I wouldn't (or would) be caught dead in that open field right there on a clear day.

I found a truck and drove it all over and then traded it for a Lada. I love the Lada! I parked it in a thick dense forest and logged back in the next day and it was gone. Walked through the forest crying and then I found a truck and was happy again and drove all around and lost control near a house and got stuck on the side of a house swarmed with zombies. The back wheels were up on the roof almost and I tried everything and nothing seemed to work until I got it into 4th gear with the engine screaming and it bounced down and I wrecked a bit. Made it out of that and into the woods on a steep hill and slid sideways into a couple trees and got stuck. Finally made it out of that and the truck was spinning like a top down the hill into a town and destroyed the battery and some other parts. Found a Lada! Drove it up into the mountains and when I logged in last night it was gone...cry. Seems choppy in a vehicle or on foot when I get near buildings. Otherwise it's pretty stable and fun. I have so many cans of food now that I am eating it so I can pick up more cans :-D

Heh, I was wondering where all the trucks were back then. I have a truck and a sedan right now. The sedan is from Friday night, and I have run across other sedans and did the ole auto wrecker strip the cars as I go trick and now I have one door left that is a little scraped and the rest is showroom condition :-D It was still there this morning and I had emptied the trunk into my inventory just in case if vanished. Right now it is full of tomatoes, green peppers and zucchini and piles of gear to fill every slot, since I can't carry anything else in my back pack. I'm pretty happy with an mp5 with a silencer and a 30 round mag. Makes cruising around zombies at night in a military area, lots easier. I haven't seen any flying wolves so that is good. I shot a zombie who was standing on my last sedan and he dropped into it and flopped around and I heard glass breaking and crashing and he finally flopped out the side dead and my sedan was mostly destroyed. I was watching the doors and wheel all getting ruined as I stood there. I was down near the sw coast and went over a bridge in a truck slowly and it popped into the air and landed on it's side and then got washed onto the railing like I was in some big surf. Toast. I went back and got a sedan I passed and went over the same bridge fast and it threw me to the rails and I lost control and made it over but damaged. No more bridges for me I guess.

I got a truck running and parked it Wednesday night on some hills. Thursday night I got another truck running and drove it to the same hills and woah, my other truck is still there with the gear in the storage. Now I have two trucks! Ok so am I suppose to wreck them into each other or something, what am I supposed to be testing with the vehicles? Where is the DMV? I would like to go stand in line with some zombies and get a number and get my dayz license renewed. Uhg and my trucks are gone hehehe.

Well I got a bunch of stuff and packed it into a backpack and stashed it in the middle of no where in between two trees and logged off and logged back in the next day and backpack was gone. I guess SC 0-6 has persistence off or something? That is going to make it very hard to gather stuff. Hmm maybe I will switch servers and do a test backpack with garbage. There was five zombies in NW Airfield and I opened fire with an ak-74 and by the time I had finished, there was a pile of zombie bodies that created a small wall and I spent five minutes going through them and standing in them, eating cans of food and dragging ammo into my backpack. Flying cows and just now I heard wolves and they closed in and they were nowhere and ripping me apart and I finally noticed they were In the tops of the trees above me and I couldn't get an angle to shoot them cause they were straight up circling me. I ran and spun and got a few and ran and spun until they gave up and ran off. Yes, some ruined gear. I suppose I should change my strategy and let a zombie bite me so I can hang around and moan and eat passing survivors.

Haven't played for a while, almost died of wet freezing twice. Almost died of hunger twice. So many zombies, covering everything. Battle my way into a small town and use up the last of my bandages to find nothing there and zombies seem to respawn pretty fast. I have lots of different weapons and ammo, none of which I dare fire, since I will be overrun moments afterward. Carbine with a long scope is nice, because I find lots of ammo for it and I can fire it from hill tops. I made a garden, prepared the soil, planted pumpkin seeds and found my one bottle of water was too low to water anything. Ran three minutes away and back and the sticks were gone and I had to replant and then water and five minutes later the server restarted and the garden and sticks were still there, but nothing was growing and I couldn't water it. I had to walk away from an UMP45, SKS and lots of spare clothes because I have nowhere to store them. Not sure I feel safe enough to carry a barrel out of a town, because I keep getting jumped. Axe works good on zombies at night when you can sneak up on them. :-D

Was freezing so I made a big fire...big fire..more wood..bigger fire...stand so close...big fire..freezing...freezing...freezing....Hmm and still freezing.

Ok I guess if I was looking for Wolves I found them. They ran around me like wild monkey's, or a drunk football team. One shot the head on a white one, two shots on another white one, the rest turned grey, well everything turned grey. Nothing to climb on, wish I coulda climbed a tree, there were lots of those, you are unconscious. I knew the moment I found that hunting backpack I was a goner. 20 pumpkin seeds, shovel, bottle of water, a few guns and some cow steaks, dang shoulda dropped my gear fast.

So I am out lost somewhere and wandering down a creek bed and spot 3 players well geared, prone, rolling to clear the grass so they can get a better shot at me and I run the opposite way and up a hill to a tree line and spin around to see what they do. I can't see 1 of them and I watch for a sec mostly hidden and poof a bullet rips the ground in front of me and then as I spin and run, whiz whiz splat splat whiz, bullets are hitting branches and the ground and trees lol. I play sub captain and break line of sight and then make a 45 degree turn left and then run and get into more trees. Seems like there are lots of barrels, not much of anything else and so many zombies that getting into towns and wasting bullets to find nothing is frustrating. I guess I am going to have to dump my stuff in a barrel next time I find one and take and axe and a handful of bandages and go chopping and looting. :-D

I have planted a garden just after it rained and did not need anymore water to get the plants going. Ya need water if the ground is dry. Big difference between running around with crap gear and finding a rain coat! Until you get some Gorka, far as I have seen only rain coat and gorka keep you from getting drenched and die from hypothermia, when it is raining. Right now there are so many infected that I can only get into a town using a 22 pistol or glock with silencer to get close and head shot the zombies and slowly pick my way through town hoping for better gear and more 22 and 9mm rounds. Once I pull out the shotgun or 357 and start blasting away, it's a 3 mile run and turn and stand ground against all the zombies still chasing me. Players keep running up to me saying "Hiya buddy, got any food, how's it going?" then trying to kill me with a knife or hammer or stick or fists. Without the bad lag, I can whip out my 357 pretty fast and blam blam blam, then start running because 10 zombies are gonna chase me for 3 miles. Why can't they just eat him? Also, when my friend gets a nasty bite from a zombie, why doesn't he turn after an hour and attack me when we are looking through the can food storage tent and it's dark and suddenly the flashlight goes out and "Slurp Arrrrgh Brains!"

Well I was starving but fully hydrated and ate a can of beans and a soda and found a shovel and zucchini seeds and it started to rain. I made a plot and filled all 9 spots with seeds and by the time I finished I died of cold, fully dressed with marine clothes I found at a chopper site. Went from fine to it's raining and dead in 6 minutes.

I ran into lots of people and everyone was either polite or they just shoo'd me away. I heard something in the distance and ran towards it and heard if getting closer and it sounded like a moose and finally found me way by listening to the sound to the herd of deer. Smooth play, zombies are hard to hear and popped around the corner right on top of me several times.

Hmm, I was on a server that was 1pp and had a tent and they switched to 3pp and of course, everything is gone. I wonder if they switch back to 1pp if my stuff will still be there.

So I am overheating badly, I drop all my gear next to a pond and climb in and run around and around and cool down and then run up and grab all my gear and The server has not responded in 8..9..10..11. So I grab a drink and figure all my stuff is now gone and when the server finally comes back up and I log on, yup..I am back in the pond and all my stuff is not on the shore. Naked guy in the pond..at least I cooled off. Yes it was the same server, cause it is the only 3pp server I am on. Just bad timing that when you pick stuff up and it resets you back to before you picked the stuff up, the stuff is no where.

Hmm had the 1pp server I played on turn into 3pp. That military tent was the longest lasting tent I have had yet. I guess I am going to use that spot from now on. It's not close to anything in the middle of no where and I guess the only way you would find it is if you were lost and happened to be looking just the right way through the trees when you past by. It is kinda hard to find and a couple times I thought it was gone until I figured out that I was lost. It's hard to choose what to carry, when you have to make sure you carry everything. Two rifles or 1 rifle and a backpack in hand, you sure can't fire back when someone starts spraying at you when you have a backpack in your hands.

Been quite awhile since I logged in and I forgot I was a short jog from my tent..and low and behold, it was still there and still stocked. Woot! Tents seem to be working very well. My m4 with duel 60 rd mags work well too..still no scope hehe.

My military tent from 2 weeks ago is still there, still full of left over stuff and a machine gun. The only thing I noticed is, when I put that tent up, the door was facing west, but it went up with the door facing east, now the door is facing west. I've never seen a tent spin, must have been high winds.

LOL, I'm glad to see someone post this, cause I thought I was going mad! Carried a 22 sporter with 1 shot in it for about 30 minutes and snuck up on an infected and click and loaded it again. About an hour later snuck up on an infected with a full red 9 and click and loaded it again and watched the last of my 9mm rounds vanish into a fully loaded gun. A couple of days ago I found 20 rounds for the sks and loaded it and about 1 later I snuck up on an infected and click..GAA!! I watched the last if my rounds disappear into a fully loaded rifle.
