I am always Friendly 3 Posted December 26, 2012 (edited) So I just got an idea to start helping some beginners in DayZ and this is what happened:I spawned in Three Valleys, which is personally like as a spawn point, and waited for my new friend to appear. It took few times of killing himself and respawning before he spawned in the same place. He ran to me and we climbed up a hill away from the coast. We could still see the Three Valleys train station downhill a bit right of us. We got on top of the hill and checked the view. There was a wooden warehouse just ahead of us downhill, and it had maybe 3 to 4 zombies around it.We creeped down the hill and went prone across a small asphalt road. Suddenly we heard moaning, and a zombie walked from behind a fence straight towards us. I told my friend to retreat back to the sparse treeline at the bottom of the hill. He did so, and I slowly crawled to the grass where I would not make so much noise. It didn't help, the zombie still saw me, and made a hungry roar while rushing towards me. I stood up and ran inside the warehouse telling my friend to stand up and run as well. We got in the barn without injuries and turned around to see the zombie slowly walking in from the doorway. I spotted a Double-Barreled Shotgun at the corner, and told my friend to grab it. He ran there and took it as fast as he could. Then he turned around and took a shot at the incoming walker. I could see the blood bursting out from the 8 Pellet holes that the shotgun did to the zombie, and it fell to the ground heavily.After that we quickly took what we could and ran away before the rest of the zombies could understand what had happened. We went crouching to a large barn that had white walls and a red roof. One of the best loot spots there is. We went slowly in while trying to avoid the 8-10 zombies walking around it. We succeeded. I got a crossbow with 2 arrows from the floor, and my friend found 2 cans of soda. While we were busy looting a lone zombie walked in the barn and started climbing up the stairs to the hayloft where we were. I heard it's footsteps and turned around. I quickly aimed to it's chest, and shot and arrow strait through it's hearth. On it's body was a can of baked beans, which I put in my pocket before we left the barn.We jogged back to the wooden warehouse, and went south by a road next to a steep hill. The road went slightly uphill, and we could see the walkers wondering around in the valley. After a moment of running the road started to make sharp turns as it went more steeply uphill. We could see a small pond directly right to us and decided to go swimming. I showed him how he could go prone and then look around underwater, which we both thought was cool. After a moment of swimming I remembered there was a treestand nearby, and we started climbing up a hill next to the lake to get to it.When we got to it, there was not a single walker to be seen. It was a bad sign because that meant they were probably wondered off to the woods around us. We quickly crouch-ran to the treestand and I told my friend to climb up while I covered him. When he got up he told me there was MP5 in there. He dropped his Double-Barreled and picked the MP5 up. Then he climbed down and we continued on.The sun was starting to set when we ran by the road towards a village called Tulga. It was known to have a car-spawn in there, so with a bit of luck we could find a transportation. In the town was a horde of zombies, more than usually. We went prone between buildings looting whatever we could, hoping that the zombies couldn't spot us. I found 1 extra arrow from a shed while my friend got 2 more cans of food. After we had gotten out of the shed we heard a zombie moaning right next to us. We quickly tried to get prone but it was too late. It saw us and ran to me. My friend shot it from the run and it's body smashed to the ground right next to me. Unfortunately that shot was heard in the hole town and quickly we were attacked by dozens of walkers. My friend shot 2 of his magazines empty and I wasted my last arrow while escaping. We survived by running between trees long enough for the zombies to lose us, but my friend had lost a lot of blood. I bandaged him and we walked up to a small urban camping area before we logged out.That was one of the best adventures I'v had in DayZ so far.If interested check out my tribute to the DayZ map Chernarus: Edited December 26, 2012 by I am always Friendly 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barrett_killz 229 Posted December 26, 2012 It's really interesting to play with friends I guess... I'm playing since August and didn't get a partner till now... Because no one of my friends have a good PC fitting for running the ARMA II engine smoothly... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FrankTheDuck 99 Posted December 26, 2012 Only 5% of my DayZ gaming time has been spent solo playing. Other wise, My Old Man is always one step behind me, We make the bast duo as our style of play and train of though is so similar, We work together with out having to waste time relaying info we both already know.Some of the Adventure we've had wether just with zombies, Against other players, or running for our lives after spawning under the scope of Elektro snipers, Wouldn't be the same if I wasn't playing with him.

TheSushi 28 Posted December 30, 2012 Just a question for you: If you were out and training newbies and ran into some player(s) with some pretty high-end guns, how would you have treated the situation? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am always Friendly 3 Posted January 7, 2013 Just a question for you: If you were out and training newbies and ran into some player(s) with some pretty high-end guns, how would you have treated the situation?This answer comes a bit late but probably I wound have told him to stay low and wait covered till they had left the area, If they would have spotted us and said friendly, I would have probably told the ''newbie'' to back away and explain the situation to the high geared guys. If they would have understood and agreed to leave us alone then that's it, but if they get hostile Id tell my friend to open up from his cover. I would have most likely shot my last arrow to the either guys face then run the fuck away. LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
