Akyho

I realy should consider it.

Today I have another tale of melee. In the middle of trying to find friends after spawn. I found a hatchet and the world seemed so much better. 20 odd minutes of running by the coast. Bang! A shot...missed...I moved..bang!!! missed again. I look to my left keep moving, I spot him prone on a very very small hill 1 minute run. I then duck and hit behind a small hill...I then decided something. "I have an axe! I am not going to just lay down and take this!!!" So I jumped up and weaved towards him as he shot, he only had a pistol. I am now shouting on voice chat, "You made a mistake mate! Am coming to get you!" he shoots misses, saw him reload and just ran straight for him. I shout "Should have just left me and let me walk past! I didnt see you! Your dead now!" He got up and ran. I chased him down axe in hand. He would spin round, fire off a few shots missing as usual. "You made a big mistake!! Im going to kill you mate!! Your balls are mine!! I am going to eat them!!!!!! You stupid idiot!!!" I hit him a few times, then we came to a town full of zombies, "You have a choice now boy!! Me or the zombies!! either way one of us is going to eat your corpse!! YOUR HEAD IS MINE!!!" so he does a U turn. So now I am chasing him...and zombies are chasing me. "You could have just left me! but no! Your dead now mate!!!" He spins round and shoots missed, I get a few hits into him. He is now bleeding, he spins then shoots, hits me twice. I am now bleeding. However I am still running for him. He spins round I hit him twice and he hits me twice. I fall down dead. However I saw him fall down dead as well! Bleeding out and zombies wouldn't have helped him. So he didn't profit. Think its time put it down that pistol vs hatchet dosnt work out as nicely for the pistol wielder as they may hope.

Its an idea, vs the usual bang! dead. Have a little bit of variety in your empowerment.

True. Depends on the person. How ever it is against the rules....technically. Dayz is all about experiences. If the person is not up for the experience oh well. Besides its just a thought. A thought I wish i used on that guy I saluted before he cracked me in the back of the skull, or kill him. They could DC the moment they spot you too.

So I was sitting in the bath thinking about the time I got an AK Kobra found an unarmed guy he tried to hide, I saluted him and left him. Later he walked up behind me and Hatched me in the back. I struck a thought. What if when you had an unarmed person trapped in a corner. Tell them you own them now. Bark orders at them. If they cooperate, you have yourself a shiny new slave. If anything tell them to run into a town and make lots of noise, so you can round up the zombies, or tell them to just keep running, Or kneecap them? Send them ahead in towns and if another bandit shoots them. You might even grow fond of your slave and give them a good start before giving them a two minute head start.

I was at Tolga? Power station. First 10 mins after spawning. It wa sjust after Hatchets were put into the game. I looted the place found a nice AK Kobra among other things. I walked out found an unarmed noob. He tried to hide. I saluted him, he saw. I walked off. I am out and about shooting zombies testing my new ak. I then see the guy walking with a hatchet and walks past me. I had a zombie in my face so I was shooting it first then CRACK! broken bones insta death......He cracked me in the SKULL!!!

Since the new implementation of melee weapons, I am interested on hearing peoples story's of surviving with just an axe. I myself was surviving with a hatchet for a while, until I came across an airport. I knew good stuff was there...except a sniper was on the control tower keeping an eye out. I kept low until my time to move came. I was sure he had left and saw a one or two other people running around scared from zombies with no weapons. Saw no one so I explored the control tower, nothing of course it had been looted needed to check. I come down and start carefully walking into a hangar hatchet ready to swing, its all quiet. I see something shuffle underneath a body "A person?" It was, he shuffled prone a little I look at him what felt like a minute I was about to open my mouth and talk on voice chat saying "Hey Bro, Ill leave you if you leave me....ok?" before I could say that. BLAM BLAM BLAM!! pistol shots up the side of body. He started reloading. I ran at him axe in hand and strafed around him hacking away at his body and head. He got a few more shots into me as I kept hacking. All the time on the voice chat I am shouting at him. "Didn't need to come to this bro! I was gonna leave you man! This is your fault Bro! I didn't wanna do this!" As he flopped over I continued saying him "Shouldn't have shot man...you'd be alive man! YOU HEAR ME!!" Out of rage and to make sure he wasn't just unconscious I hacked at his still bleeding body to make sure he wasn't going to get up. Any one else have some melee stories to share?

I am new to the forums, new to DayZ watched a bunch of videos until it became too much to not play DayZ I have friends I havnt teamed up with yet as server size and geology keep us apart. So out of my last 6? deaths. I finally had one that I can count as an adventure. In watching Dayz videos and knowing about too many people shoot first. I always said to myself "I will never be that person!" I was wrong...... I spawned in a area I know nothing about. Daytime and so wondered into an industrial area to scavenge found a hatchet, fought some zombies bled alot and moved on. Found a city not far and started stealthy going about it. Bunch of gear and a zombie chase later I get stuck on a roof. Good news it had a medical package and filled to the brim with morphine and blood bags! I needed blood....and I couldnt figure out how to use them....so I took some morphine and started to figure a way down. I went up one more ladder...something went wrong. I slipped and fell, broke a leg No matter I crawled over to the medical box and jacked up on morphine. After 20 minutes I could run. Nows my time to escape, the Zombies are still at the foot of my ladder. Flash backs to thinking this has happened alot in my past, so they threw flares.....nope they dont care for flares. I came up with a plan smoke grenade to mask my escape and run. Threw it...they went for it. I climbed down and ran off the smoke was perfect for them. I ran into a house and settled down. Some zombies found me I hacked them till they fell. now on 3000 blood...not so great. raided the building and found a m1911. Escaped that building went into another. I drank a pepsi...out of my 8 cola cans. Found an Alice pack and moved on. I was chased by a zombie into a shop and I shot it. Walked around some more got some gear. Turned into a room....a man laying prone.....pointing a double barrel shotgun at me. I couldn't help myself...I PANICKED! I started shooting him with my pistol we were just feet apart and the shot gun was in my face. I ran up and strafed him...what did he do? THREW FLARES AT ME!! I dont know if he had the wrong things in hand...or he was trying to say friendly....but I murdered him!....didnt even take his shotgun...an nice Lee enfield was across from him. I must have spooked him when I shot that zombie. I moved on and found a third building. Started to get plans to settle up and camp in a house. I then decided to move on out of town. a few zombie chases later....I was stuck on a roof again. After a few attempts at killing the zombies I found a second ladder...they still found me but I had a head start. Ran in too fields with 8 zombies on me. I found some buildings and weaved lost some. I then look round and I see more and one? IS a player! I then shouted in voice chat "What are you doing behind me Bro!?" He replied "Behind you? I am faster than you" and then sped on infront of me. Take zero zombies with him and leaving them all with me. He had no weapons and I was tempted to shoot him in the leg and let him lag behind into the horde behind us. I didnt do that. We spoke a little before we split off and I never saw him again....unfortunately..because I was gonna lead the horde to him and shoot his legs out.... I ran into some hills and forests for another 10 mins. three zombies left. I decided to take them all out and I did. I found a nice little set of warehouses. I scoped them out i heard noises like someone was opening doors. I hid in a corner. nothing for 10 mins then a keel over KOed........ got up. Nothing happened a few zombies knew I was in here but couldnt get in. Then I had to use my last 3 shots. Because 2 zombies walked through the closed door. I was going to barricade the doors with the wire spools I found. So I ran. Opened a door and ran. I ran across a field, and airfield was ahead. I know people like airfields. Maybe someone has set up shop there? They might shoot me or not. I just wanted to go there. I ran with 4 zombies on me. Then flop....I fell unconscious again.....they caught up to me and ate me. I still feel sorry for that guy i just murdered...and maybe I should have done something with that guy running with me. I mean a nice thing. Oh well time to try again.
