DayZ - My First Day.

[milkeyuk 6]

After reading so much about this game I gave it a shot, it's got me hooked and I thought I'd share my first day on the game.

Started my first ever character and spawned on the beach. After looking around the area for abit I followed the road... north or south... who knows? When in the distance I saw something moving quite fast and going from side to side. "Can't be a zombie?" After watching various videos on DayZ I went into survivor mode and went prone into a bush, and watched the character slowly head towards me. (no way was I getting killed in my first 5minutes of ever playing the game) I stayed there for a few minutes and while I wasn't paying attention.. he vanished.

I started thinking shit what if hes behind me, what if hes seen me? What should I do? I got up out of the bush and without even realising.. he was right infront of me.

We both stopped, I didn't have any weapons, he didn't have any weapons. We stopped, slowly circled each other and continued the way we were going.

I reached the first village (is what I'd called it) and I started going from house to house, finding what I could. Eventually after evading many zombies I came across a pistol and a rifle. After a few encounters with zombies which were delt with by my axe I moved on. Eventually I reached a bigger city and this is when I realised maybe I wasn't alone anymore. More zombies, guns shots firing. I had no map, no idea where I was, thankfully it was around 12pm server time so plenty of light.

I managed to come across a building that was quite big and lots of rooms, so I started looking through the first floor. After a while I reached the second floor I heard alot of zombies making noise so I looked out the front window into the street to see a string of zombies running around the building... I was pretty sure I hadn't made a noise up to this point so I was confused. Down the end of the corridor I noticed there was a roof I could stand on so I went out and looked where zombies where heading. There was another player running for his life towards a food store. He stopped just inside the entrance and started axing the zombies. With my pistol I went into ADS & left my crosshair over the player. Should I kill him? Should I not? Paranoia took over and rather than helping I took a shot, after the second shot I got excited and walked over the edge... landed and broke my legs. I was knocked out in the middle of the road. Seeing the guy fight for his life (i hadn't killed him) As I came too I couldn't walk properly and zombies were coming in. I foolishly used my springfield and went back into the building I'd fallen from. Zombies were getting drawn to me, the shots were too loud. Realising what was happening I pulled out my pistol and started taking out the zombies that were coming from every enterance in the building. After fighting with the zombies which lasted a while I decided to go to the food store. No sign of the guy.

I kept checking all the items on the floor and there was food, ammos, bandage & water. Everything I needed! After 5minutes of checking everything I moved into the back room, what did I see on the floor? A dead player, the guy who I'd shot.. which I assumed the zombies got him or I made him bleed out. I looted all the gear I could from him and walked outside. BANG. I was dead. Sniper had got me and possibly him.

I may have got killed but it got me hooked, this is one of the greatest/realistic survival games I've ever played and I can't wait to see how it evolves and progresses.

Sorry for the story being so long, I just thought I'd share :)

Now I just need to find a good server with no hackers!

You'll get used to it, just do what I do and play on 1-20 player slot full servers, it's much better with more bandits but more less of a chance to run into them.

First player you saw after you had some weapons and you decide to shoot him, and he had an axe? lol..

This is so diffrent from my first time.

He did have a gun, he was just using the axe to kill the zombies without making any noise!
