Cap'n (DayZ) 1827 Posted September 1, 2013 Well...I'm cursed. And what does it involve? Groups. Whenever I'm alone, I'm doing great. I may not survive more than 5-6 days usually, but I get geared fast. I'll have a car, and my camp out in the woods. But when I pair up, bad shit happens. It's happy trails for the first few hours, but something always goes horribly wrong. I'll use yesterday as an example. Me and my friend Eli(coolest guy ever), were noobin' around the NE strip headed to NWAF. We both had bitchin' gear, and were going to find even more bitchin' gear. We hear a shot near Devils, and we got to investigate. POW POW POW. I'm hit, and we drive away. I've got blood below three thousand, bleeding. We pull behind a tree, and Eli bloods me. After that ordeal, I end up breaking the truck's tire trying to hide. After Eli decides to play 1000 Miles by Vanessa Carlton over Skype as my punishment, we set out to loot the airfield. We make it out of the treeline on the road from Grishino to Petrovka. We start killing zeds for drinks, when a random skiddie jumps out and starts shooting. he knocks Eli out, and I go to flank him. Eli tries to hide, but he passes out again and he is eaten alive. I, prone, hidden by my wookie suit, slowly creep up on a bush. I see that it has "cancer", and I wait for the lump to move. He gets up to loot my friend, and I nail him with my CZ. I come up to finish him off, and he ALT-F4's. I'm pissed, and I decide to continue on to the airfield. Another friend joins the call, and I convince Eli to play A 1000 Miles over side for all of our server to hear. After looting the airfield without running into a single dude, I've got a Czech pack, m16 ACOG, and a PDW with six mags. I've got four anti's, four bloodbags, and a shit-ton of ammo. All because I'm alone. So, do you guys ever feel like this? I hope so, cause it sucks and I hate playing solo because it's so lonely and I don't have fun people to talk to. Oh, and I play on US 635. Join me for some fantabulous fun! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bfisher 561 Posted September 1, 2013 (edited) Groups can be both a blessing and a curse. Sure it's good to have the extra sets of eyes and guns and a bit of company while you scour the endless wastes between towns. But groups also attract attention, especially when they have a vehicle. Plus you can so get distracted running through town like a gaggle of schoolgirls, chit chatting about your favorite female adult alternative singer/songwriter, that you let some ghillie suited loner sneaks up behind you and blows your head off with his DMR.

disgruntled 38 Posted September 1, 2013 I like running with a small group but I prefer to loot on my own. I see it as preparation for our next game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
