http://steamcommunity.com/id/jten I'll join you where are you based. I don't get a huge amount of time to play but happy to join up when I do

Hi all. If anyone wants to team up then add me on steam. http://steamcommunity.com/id/jten I've been playing for a few weeks, but still got a bit to learn. Getting a bit bored wandering around by myself in the wilderness. add me if your a 'mature' gamer (i hate that term). I'm based in the uk but I don't care what server I play on depending on ping.

Feel free to add me on steam too. or message me here. http://steamcommunity.com/id/jten

I got mine for £20 at Bohemia Interactive. It redirects you to steam which if you buy from them direct the game is £24.99. Look at it that way and your saving 20%!!! Bargain !! I have not even touched Arma but DayZ is worth the money even at Alpha IMO.

Something Weird Is Going On 'Ere ! – A noobs largely uneventful & cowardly adventure in DayZ. The sun beats down on my face, the heat gently wakes me from my slumber. My bleary eyes open but I'm soon wide awake and alert once I realised that I was on a strange beach in unfamiliar territory. Fuck me, how much did I drink last night? I say to myself. I pick up the bag which lies on the sand next to me and inspect its contents, Painkillers a bandage and a flashlight. Shit I exclaim realising that my IPhone is missing, and with that I head up the hill into the woods whilst cursing to myself for deciding not to take the optional insurance with my contract. After 20 mins or so of walking along the crest of the hill I spy some houses with people wandering nearby. Thinking I may get some answers I begin walking over the field towards the dwellings, however as soon as I make my first steps I hear strange noises coming from the figures. Screams and groans which seem unnatural almost feral! Suddenly shots ring out from amongst the houses and I hit the deck in some vegetation and start to panic. What the fuck is going on i say aloud and watch as the people who were previously mindlessly wandering around are now in a rage and moving with ferocious purpose in the direction of the shots. Their screams are now more aggravated and desperate. A thought flashes through my mind. don't be a idiot i reason zombies are just hollywood but all the signs were there: the shambling nature of their movement not to mention the guy to the right who is hopping around in a primeval manner, although he could have a mental disorder. Some pissed up mental I reason. Then the sound of 3 more shots pierce through the air and my heart starts to race. Whilst I lie amongst the bushes scouting the buildings. I see a person running for his life with 5 figures hot on his heels, he zig zags and runs up the hill but he can't seem to lose his assailants. Then without warning whilst watching this surreal scene the Benny Hill theme tune pops in my head and i chuckle to myself as the poor sod runs off into the distance. I take my chance and run towards the houses with the majority of the people now gone to see what I could find, just as I approach I slow to a crouch run and stop surveying the danger. There are a few shambling figures still hanging around and the sounds they emit scare me. Zombies or not these guys are nutters & I don’t fancy being spotted. I scan the area and strain my eyes to get a better look and to my surprise my vision zooms in a little. I nearly fall over in shock ! Jesus im like Superman or something. With my new found superhero confidence I slide a unnecessary distance on my stomach kidding myself that lasers may shoot out of my eyes if any trouble occurs with the freaks, finally I reach a house but I only find crap. Empty tin cans and two empty bottle of wiskey. Annoyed I think what are the chances that someone will get a nasty cut if I lob it at them?….I take them anyway. I continue crawling around to the next house but door is stuck and entry impossible. A figure then appears through the hole in the wall of the garden. My breathing increases as im paralysed with fear that he will spot me. These are defiantly zombies, shit! I exclaim to myself. Shitshitshitshitshit I continue over and over as I slide backwards out of sight and head back over to the hill from where I first was. I continue walking East hearing sporadic gun shots in the distance and I realise I have to find some kind of weapon to defend myself, i realise that I have yet to find anything essential for my long term survival. Soon I approach the outskirts of a city I would later know as Elektro. Shots ring out from within the city and I get the impression this is not a place for a defenceless noob to be in but I reason that the industrial outskirt may be relatively safe for a looting mission. Deliberating with myself made no sense anyway, I have no choice I need to find something. For some reason a knife & fork icon and a water icon appear in my head and has started to turn red. I cross the train tracks toward an area which is a mix of industrial and residential buildings and again start crawling a extraordinary and probably largely unnecessary distance. I’m like Snake from Metal Gear Solid, but without the Kurt Russell - Escape from New York look. It would have been handy if the Z’s had big exclamation marks over their heads I think to myself. I have my Snake impression down to a tee as I crawl around the buildings picking up some cans of food and a can each of Coke & Pespi. Slithering around the concrete under a steel roof structure that has no sides I find a back pack with extra bandages a heat pack more pain killers and more food and drink. I go into one last building and discard the crap I had collected earlier and take time to quench my thirst and eat some food. In the house I find a crowbar. Oh well, I say to myself under the circumstances this piece of crap is better than nothing…..just. I scurry off still unwilling to engage the freaks that are close by, I don’t fancy my chances with just a crowbar. I cross the road and make my first mistake, I stand not noticing a zed that has just turned the corner in a gas station who spots me and runs at me at speed. I don’t hang around and my instinct tells me to run, and run I do. Usain Bolt had nothing on me as I sprinted up the hill into the treeline. the incline is too steep and the Zed catches me and strikes me in the back, I feel the blood trickle down my spine as I turn and strike my attacker with the crowbar but it has little effect. I sprint some more and eventually lose them amongst the woodland. Thankful for a decent supply of bandages I patch myself up and continue north where I encounter a barn, I sneek in undetected and find a backpack with a flask inside and some random ammo which I take. Then in the corner I spot a crossbow, BINGO !! excitedly I exchange the crossbow for my crowbar and now feel much better about my situation however in my excitement I accidently fire off a bolt that flies out of the door and into the long grass in between 2 zeds. Bollocks ! Stupid trigger finger ! My excitement quickly turns to frustration as I realise I have only one bolt left and no experience in firing this thing. I decide to head north where I come to a lake, I can hear gun fire from my view point in the high ground amongst the trees above the lake and I use my superhero zoom vision to scan the area. I see nobody but I can still hear the cracks from an automatic weapon from that direction, not sure when I will next pass I water source I think “Fuck it” and move towards the waterline, then from the bottom of the hill I see someone running in my direction and my hearts starts racing as I lay prone with my crossbow aimed at the Survivor, ooooh shiiiit . My luck streak continues as the incline forces him to run away from my direction up the hill and I decide again not to engage. My one bolt crossbow against his automatic rifle heavily influencing the decision. I am successful in filling my flask and continue North where I eventually approach a dam. I see another survivor sprinting across the other side and into the trees heading south, I continue North… or so I thought. After some time journeying I come to another Barn which allows me to trade my crossbow with a double barrel shotgun and my hording of ammo for weapons I didn’t have becomes prudent as I now have 6 shells. NOW IM COOKIN’ WITH GAS, I exit the barn and not learning from my previous experience I stand too quickly alerting a zombie. I run but I have no hills or woodland to lose him in so I finally turn around and fire off a shot at close range, the shot rips through its face and falls to the ground before it could attack me. I laugh to myself, proud that I have managed to successfully defend myself for the first time. Take some o’ that bitches I say aloud and start my zombie kill count… 1 shot, 1 headshot. Like a boss I continue confidently through the wilderness. After 30 mins I spot a stone structure through the trees, and move towards it excited that I may find some more loot I break into sprint and then I realise where I was… all the way back at the frikken Dam !!... YOU STUPID BASTARD realising I have just travelled in a massive circle due to my previous encounter with a zombie. Then without warning a message flashes infront my eyes… something about “Battle Eye Global Ban” and in minutes I am returned with all my weapons and inventory to a deserted beach, different to the previous one that I had started from but now the sunlight replaced with night time. Something Weird is going on here and I now must begin my journey north again.
