It has been a while since my last post, but I will admit that I have had nothing special to report. Over the last few weeks I have been up to the usual. Looting spawn spots, gearing up to the hilt...only to be killed and having to do it over again. I am still having immense fun, playing this game and I have developed my game play to enable me to survive for longer periods as I have learnt to take things a little "easier", in game. I tend to play alone, for the most part, where my usual gaming style is to loot, search for downed choppers and camp hunting. I have a few scattered tents where I stock some of the basic supplies too, like drinks, food, maps etc. If I see a new spawn I am always happy to share my tent location. I tell them to take what they need and ask that they restock when they pass that way....although this seldom happens. The other morning I was on a server. This server I frequent is usually full of players and I was surprised to find only three or four players that morning. One of the survivors types to me and ask whether I am friendly. I type back, saying that I am.....I have been playing DayZ for a couple of months now and have yet to kill another player. A while later the two of us hook up in a teamspeak room and I can hear that he is from the UK. We chat for a bit and he tells me he has a friend who is on line and as it happens his friend is a new spawn who was reasonably close to my location. This was his friends 1st DayZ session....so after I located him, got him some essentials, like bandages and drinks we settled close to my tent, along the road. We were all on Teamspeak at that stage and the Guy who I first chatted with came to collect us in a bus. We went up to the NW airport and raided the loot spawns....(I found a pair of NV Goggles), looted some supermarkets and found a helicopter which needed repairing. We then went collecting parts but I had to log out before we got the heli repaired. He saved my life after zombies got hold of me, at one stage up in the airfield, too. All in all it was my first time meeting up with other friendly players and it an unexpected pleasure to share some game time with these Guys. I hope to have more similar encounters in the future.

That was a nice read....I enjoyed that...thank you for posting.

I agree with some of the posts in this thread and I have been playing, almost exclusively on these severs for the past week.. These servers are great to play on and the Guys in charge are on top of things. There are regular server restarts with proper warnings and great support on the web site. They communicate well and provide a great service to the players. Thank's Chaps...I look forward to my next round later today.

Firstly...well said.... Venthos. I would like to add.... To each their own. If the shoe does not fit....simply do not wear it. I look forward to the stand alone and for me, it cannot arrive fast enough.

Nice video....Thank you.

Interesting read....thank you for sharing.

Love this post!!!

Nice...

Great storey...thank you for sharing.

Simply tell him what you posted here.....then tell him to move on.

Nice story....thank you for sharing.

I get "script restriction #41" Only on one server though.

I picked 2...as thats what I intend to do...I usually end up panicking and getting shot.

I had similar frustrations at first...THEN...I searched and found http://www.dayzcommander.com/ . I simply run the install from their interface and it works like a dream. Good Luck, I hope this helps.

+1

Post a the server name, and I will try to log too.

I got 15K ATM....I have given 1 transfusion and 1 bandage....nothing more. I have however killed 500 zombies....so maybe there is a zombie killing - humanity link.

Same thing is happening to me.

Simply, drop it.

To each their own but personally I feel that this will be taking away from your experience. The risk of dying and having to start over is an integral part of the mod. If you take that away, you may as well buy a BF3 where dying does not matter. I would rather play the game as it was intended although I make certain exceptions. There issues which exist in this form of the mod, (pre-stand alone), like coming across a stash of vehicles. They are probably hacked in...and one needs to make a choice. Do I take one or not? This morning I came across a stash of boats, atv's cars and such. I ended up taking a bike....my argument being that if I do not, the next guy will. I wish I had a countdown timer for the stand alone......I simply cannot wait for the launch.

I was in much the same predicament yesterday. There was only two of us on the server...a guy called Leo and I. Luckily I am such a bad shot I only wounded him...but I still feel bad for shooting first.

My last trip, up there, also delivered me nothing but a broken leg.

I think that if you have gathered loot and stored them in tents it should take more time to load, as well.
