If you guys have just respawned. In your first 1-3 hours on the new char, what are the ultimate necessities you go in search of, and while you still may not have a full kit, what would you be happy logging out with after that timeframe. Obviously beans and drink are a given, but I'm talking tools, items, specific weapons? And then for the more experienced guys. After your several weeks of playing, what is your ultimate zombie/player slaying loadout? Discuss!

I've heard the stories. It's not that rare, but in 3 weeks of semi constant playing and several chars I hadn't seen any. I finally found two cans of it today. They looked really cool. Then I was shot dead. But hey, I guess thats DayZ for you.

Well whaddya know. Spawned near Elektro nearly 2 hours later and theres my body, still with pretty much all my gear and one can of MD. Picture proof attached. Thankyou kind shooter for leaving me my gear!

Got my two in Elektro School on NZ1

Hmm, in hindsight I really should have taken pics. Perhaps the bandit that shot me will do the uploading.

I was Carebear's patient. Was sniped west of Berenizo about 5 mins after his death. Sucks..

Bastard shot my legs out so the zeds he alerted ate me. Not a nice way to die but still didn't d/c and copped it. I agree too, I'm going to bum around Cherno and gear up (oh joy) and then try to link up with Brian and the RMG team. Still sorry too, as much as its a deathmatch game, it's not cool when people helping you die, ESPECIALLY medics..

Yeah, Carebear told me he died and I saw the kill message. I was in the vicinity and proceeded forward to try and get some of his stuff. Then I realised why he died - 2 mins from our meet site there was a heli crash. If it makes you feel better man, seconds after you logged off I was running down a treeline and was sniped. Either way, guess I don't need those antis anymore. Thanks for trying, sorry for indirectly causing your death and my own :(

Dude if you're still in Krasnostav I'm in dire need of two antibiotics, my girlfriend and I are both infected. Please help. PM me

Got a remington with 4 lots of slugs lol, :P

Hey guys, In a recent altercation with infected whilst retreating, my girlfriend has become afflicted with the 'hey let's lose 3 blood per second' illness and from what I can tell antibiotics are the only way to go. We tried food, painkillers and blood bags but to no avail. If there is a cure I've missed, help a semi-noob out? I really don't have anything of value. I know right? Asking for a rare drop and I don't have much. Probably going out on to much of a limb here. I can offer my Remington w/ flashlight and 4 rounds of slugs or a full jerry can if you're a vehicle enthusiast. I have most of the basic tools, name some random thing, maybe I have it. Heading off to bed now but I should be next online in 12 hours or so. We're located in the north eastern quadrant of the map. Simple folk that live off the land and make the occasional run out of the forest for supplies. My Skype name is samjersey12 if you're a good soul that wants to get in touch. Cheers.

Dog, Kyle, replying to you both now via PM

As a guy that also plays DayZ with his girlfriend it's good to see a few couples around! :D

How awful? I'll poke my head around NEAF and see what I find.

Will do. Always knew it was a long shot.

Seriously? We're friendly unless fired upon. Should have added that. Obviously there is no way to convey my sincerity across the interwebs and it's more than likely I'll get killed but a guys gotta try to fix up the missus.

PS hell maybe even two sets of pills, I think I've been coughing after it happened

94945 beta isn't as stable as previous beta. Use 94876.

I lag spiked and fell off the roof of Cherno hospital, seemed a pretty ironic place to die

Hey guys, Just after a quick clarification. With 1.7.2 it is a bit slow but I can join low ping servers. Ironically though I get the infinite loading screen of doom and can't join my base servers. Just wanted to check if this was still an error or that these server owners are being slow to apply server side updates? Thanks!

Guy?

Mid-afternoon. My girlfriend and I were jogging on the coast toward Berenizo. Our goal - a vehicle and/or vehicle parts. We reached the lumber mill unchallenged. Alas, I took two steps forward and a trio of zombies spawned and began ambling slowly in our direction. By this time we had walked further into the industrial area and walls were all around us. We exchanged a few brief looks and nods. They had to be shot. We raised our Winchester rifles and took aim. Sweat dropped from my brow and I let off two shots in quick succession and heard a third to my right. All three zeds keeled over and fell to the ground. All hell broke loose. Zeds spawned and came running from all directions. We began sprinting. 'How many!' she shouted back to me. '12 so far!' I shouted back, looking behind me. 'We could make for that platform, they'll have to slowly walk up the stairs and we can easily shoot downwards!' 'Okay!' she yelled back. We raced up the stairs of the platform I had indicated and took up positions. The horde had swollen to some 20 odd. We counted our kills and readied ourselves for a fight. They began ambling up the stairs. We opened fire. Zeds began to drop like flies. But it seemed for every one of them killed, two more took its place. The sheer volume of them began to overwhelm us. They began to breach into our level and attack full force. We fired and fired again. Zeds kept falling. Suddenly I heard a scream. Somehow, a zombie had passed by me and begun to attack my girlfriend. I looked on in horror as her legs snapped in front of me and she began losing blood. I shot the fiend that did this to her and resumed my firing on the stairwell. 'I'll fix you up soon babe!' I yelled, 'just let me clear some more of these away first!' To her credit, she resumed firing. Half dead and lying in a pool of her own blood. Still, she slayed the undead marching up. Finally, the horde slowed. I quickly administered a bandage and morphine. 'Go!' I shouted. 'Further up the platform!' She nodded grimly, in shock. I began to turn back when suddenly, I felt a searing pain. My legs collapsed beneath me and I too began losing blood. Three zombies had set upon me and continued their assault. I felled one through my fading vision and watched the other two fall off the catwalk. I felt hands around my chest and a stab in my side. My bleeding slowed. My vision stopped deteriorating. My girlfriend, wounded as she was had saved my life. I crawled behind her and heard her gun fire over and over again. I could see she was faltering. We were weak. The horde was not yet ready to give up. I crawled to the other end of the catwalk and propped myself up against the railing and resumed shooting. Suddenly it clicked. We had raided Cherno hospital previously. I began rummaging through my bag. 'Please let it be here' I whispered. 'Please.' To my delight, I found what I was looking for. And not just one, but two blood bags. The horde slowed once more. 'Babe!' I yelled. 'Retreat back to here, I can give you a transfusion!' She began back pedalling, still firing at our adversaries. I hooked the bag up to the railing and connected her to it. I watched as the life flooded back into her. A new energy surged. She threw the empty pack away and did the same for me. As the contents of the second bag entered my system I felt a renewed power. 'Fuck it!' I shouted. 'We need to get away! Blast the fuckers and charge through them!' She looked at me. 'I love you.' she said. And charged downwards. We raced down to the ground, slaying anything in our way. The undead were thin now, but still a threat. We escaped through a hole in the fence and made for the beach. As I was bringing up the rear I turned to see that we had four pursuers. I stopped, dropped to one knee and fired. Six shots arced out toward them. The first went low. The second and third entered the chests of the first two zombies, killing them instantly. The fourth hit the third zombie in his neck, spinning his body around like a top before hitting the ground. The fifth went over his dead head and the sixth and final shot entered the last zombies mouth and blew his head apart. I gathered my thoughts, turned and left that god forsaken industrial area behind. As we jogged, she looked at me with a grin. 'We counted before we went in' she said. 'I got 31. Beat you again?' 'No' I chuckled. 'I got 37. I win' 'Fuck!' she exclaimed. 'I was so close!' We ran onward to the forest, licking our wounds. We had failed to achieve our goal. But once again, we had survived the undead and still had each other. For now, that was enough. - I suppose if this gets some alright comments I can try my hand at a few more journal entry type things. Let me know, aha :) - Zombie kill count is accurate. On this day, 68 of the undead were slain in Berenizo Industrial Area. Was hectic!

It's all great fun. We bought the game together and did the mod so some nights we do sit and play DayZ. Love it!

Hey Kynam, you gunned down my girlfriend and I in a Cherno apartment on a Seattle server recently. If I see you again, I will go out of my way to shoot you ;D

My steam ID is Ryoshikage, If you can drop me morphine I'll gladly give you ammo or whatever you need!
