teas926 7 Posted May 29, 2013 I've had 3 long lived charcters thus far, 33 days, 14 days and 8. 33 day man is still alive on public servers, 14 day me met his end today in Starry Sobor, and 8 is my most recent and still going. I still make stupid mistakes, trust issues, overun by Z's in a building, crashing and breaking my face on the dash, etc. My question is does your staying alive for this long come through skill or just dumb luck?

G000gle 200 Posted May 29, 2013 <'gooogle translator'>I am alive 3 months in Tulga.I use binocolars for check for bandits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fluxley 2228 Posted May 29, 2013 Both, especially with all the bugs out there.But really it depends how you play the game, you could just sit in the woods away from any other players and survive for months with very little skill involved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thelonewarrior 886 Posted May 29, 2013 I survived 42 days once in Cherno sniping bandits with a dmr and L95 tws, hacker killed me in the end, racked up at least 50 killsThat was the last time I played public hive Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m.cab 83 Posted May 29, 2013 Like flux sayed, its basically about how much you clash in other players. If you just hang out in the woods and/or play on servers which are not much populated you can survive for a very long time! (Just make sure you good morphine with you! ;) )btw got a new profile pic fluxley? Badass car you got there mate! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teas926 7 Posted May 29, 2013 I like to be safe for a time and steel myself for the town and cities. I can't help but love player interaction because it's so unpredictable, sometimes paying dividends other times leaving up shit creek with out a pulse.

Mos1ey 6301 Posted May 31, 2013 I had a 208 day old character up until a few days ago but decided to kill him and start over as I only actually played maybe 50 of them, lol. Once you get to around the 30 day mark (if you actually play every day), I'd say you're beyond dumb luck as luck tends not to be consistant enough to get you by for that length of time.
