TyRobot 100 Posted December 18, 2013 Well, I must say it has been interesting so far...just one day into the standalone.I had been playing all day...mainly just exploring and chatting with friends. After getting a backpack and some better clothes, I ventured off to find a gun. It was an unlikely spot, but I found a Mosin rifle in a car outside Chernogorsk around the new abandoned apartments or whatever. Before going off on my adventure to the North, I decided to go back to Cherno where I remembered the location of a well...because I wanted to fill my water bottles. It isn't like I had a lot of stuff, but I wanted to be prepared.So...I filled my bottle, yet I couldn't resist checking a few houses for a can opener whilst there. I saw an apple on a table and decided to make it my last meal before leaving the city...however, a man slowly crouch-walked into the hallway of the house and began to take aim at me. I had to react quickly, so I only had time to notice that this guy was fully decked out in military gear. Immediately, I dropped the apple as I closed my inventory menu, and I put my back against the wall adjacent to the hallway so that neither of us could see each other. I equipped my Mosin, and I waited......what happened next took place over the course of around 10 seconds, but he rounded the corner and tried to shoot me from the other doorway to the room I occupied. He never expected that I would be ready to fight back, but I managed to crouch and lean so that I could see him before he saw me. As he began to fire, I put one shot right between his eyes. The man stumbled momentarily as he fired a couple shots from his M4A1, but he passed out and died. I don't think my heart has ever beaten faster than during those 30 seconds...it was so unexpected for me at that moment.I looted what I could, but I had "ruined" most of his gear with that fatal shot from my rifle. I buried the body, ate the apple, and headed northbound. It was the best apple I'd ever eaten...and for the first time in a long time, it felt like the first time I'd ever played DayZ... ^_^ 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

meta87 25 Posted December 18, 2013 My heart definitely gets going when I see players in the area with weapons (I am currently very well geared for the Alpha). I do not have this reaction to players in the DayZ Mod at all. I believe this is due to the fact that it is fairly hard to survive the coast and get away from it due to the stamina/food/drink/unconscious issues. I had to literally walk all the way from elektro, to cherno, then to stary, then to NWAF and beyond. Only jogging when crossing large openings in areas I felt there could be other players. Looking forward to seeing more patches, hopefully they roll out frequently! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
