Bush_Wookie10-4 61 Posted December 31, 2013 Ok.....maybe it is just me that felt this way the first time, but shit, I am so happy to finally have a gun.I probably played like 10 straight hours one day, spawned, got myself some gear, like a Hoodie, Fire Axe, Food, Water, just hiking, enjoying myself. One thing that freaked me out the whole time? I was in a packed server, I had no weapon. I found a map of the SW region, and started on my way. Way back when, I kinda remembered this map from playing so much of it with the 7th Cav, a Tactical Realism Unit. I was a Platoon Commander for the Armor division, and rolled over these hills and towns a lot! I hiked far far far out of the way, stopping in small towns, put the axe to a good amount of Zs, and continued to rummage. My goal was the NW Air Field. Only having played about 3 hours of the Mod, but watching a lot of videos, I knew this was going to be a high reward area, with a greater risk. I needed a weapon though. This axe felt smaller and smaller every town I went through heading north. Some areas I could tell were already searched as every door lay open, this didn't help my apprehension of moving forward. I found a good many FX45's I think they were, a pistol that had no info, and found plenty slug ammo, but no rifles. I finally broke out threw the trees, facing the NW Air Field on the upper NW corner. I was lucky enough to have found a compass a couple hours earlier, so I had a good idea of my bearing. I probably watched that field for 30 minutes, moving around the tree line, stump to stump, tree to tree, just watching. I saw one guy promptly get killed by two Zs, and made my way in, having a good idea from watching He was the only one that far north at the time. The search was a success, the fire house held my ammo I needed, and quickly upgraded and fixed my M4. I am now pretty well kitted out. I have a rifle, 30 rounds, all in pristine condition, a pristine fire axe, and enough food and water to help get me back south.....to population. Tonight I am going to leave the Air Field and head East, to the town down the hill, and then work my way over to the coast and then south, south west to Electra. The sense of actually doing something was great. I had a mission, dodged bandits, escaped and domed plenty Zs, and I feel pretty good about myself. Thanks to the players and Devs for this experience. This is great, probably the most engrossing game I have played in a long while. Bush_Wookie10-4 Out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bush_Wookie10-4 61 Posted December 31, 2013 You can go from one server to the other with your loot?How does that work? Do you spawn in the same spot you left? Or at the fresh spawn point! I didn't know you could do that! And friendly is cool. I am too fresh to care about PvP, nor will I think I will pick it up unless provoked. I like the survival part of this game!

Khad (DayZ) 293 Posted December 31, 2013 (edited) If you change the server, your char will spawn in the exact place you left the old server and with the full gear, you had ;). That's because most of the servers got the same hive. A kind of cloud, I guess. P.S: Friendly is cool, but suicidial. I think, you'll experience this soon, because most people are not friendly, even if they pretend to be, but that's just fine, if you don't trust anyone O__O Edited December 31, 2013 by Khad 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bush_Wookie10-4 61 Posted December 31, 2013 LOLFunny picture. How true. I took forever. I had went through like 12 ruined backpacks before I found a "Damaged" one! At hour 7 I had a gun, that I thought would scare people away, but had no ammo.....for a while, I thought bullets were not in this alpha! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
