First steps in Chernarus

[Wendsill 4]

Day 1

 

I wake up on the shores of an unknown place, last thing I remember is jumping of the ship when it occurred the disease had spread there too. I decided drowning was preferred over getting nommed upon by some zombies.

Alas, I did not have such luck and now I'm here, but where is here? I do not know where I am and after quickly searching my pockets I somehow have a flashlight with a working battery, nothing else, except the clothes I am wearing. I'm thirsty, must be because of all the salt water.

 

I look around and see a crane at the top of what looks like a hill, there must be people there and if the disease has spread here too I'm sure I'll find out there as well.

I start walking there, but soon I hear a too familiar sound, zombies made their way here too!!! No place is safe by the looks of it. I kneel down and look around if I see him,her,it. I see something moving towards me and making those all too familiar sounds, I start running, I forget my thirst and run, run for my life.

 

After a minute or two I dare to look behind me and notice that the zombie stopped following me. I orientate myself again and once again start heading for the crane on the hill.

When I arrive there I decide to do a recon of the construction site first, maybe something useful was left behind.

A few minutes later I'm a happy man, found some drinks, canned food, a large backpack, a huge axe, a crowbar and some tools. Unlike Gordon Freeman I decide I'll wield the axe, because he's just fantasy and this is real.

Since I still do not know where I am I decide to climb the crane so that I can orientate myself. I arrive at the top, move around a bit and slip through the railing and plummet down to the earth, you are dead....

 

 

 

Day 2

 

 

I wake up on the shores of an unknown place, last thing I remember is falling down from a big crane which mysteriously lost it's railing so that I fell through. I still do not know where I am, I do know that railings are dangerous and that zombies live here.

 

Once again I quickly search my pockets and not surprisingly end up with a flashlight and a working battery, nothing else, except the clothes I am wearing. I'm thirsty, must be because of all the salt water..

I look around and see I'm on a different piece of shore then last time, some houses are near and a road junction. I walk towards the junction and soon hear a all too familiar sound and I start running again, I forget my thirst and run, run for my life.

 

After a few minutes I dare to look behind me and notice that the zombie stopped following me, I orientate myself and I've ran inland, what appears to be a barn is close by and luckily it has a water pump.

I quickly drink till my stomach is full and decide to do a recon of the area and that this will be my camp. I move further inland and soon find what appears to be an empty factory, some useless stuff is in there and behold another axe, ideal for chopping holes in everything it hits.

 

I find a compass as well and walk up some stairs while I watch the compass. I put the compass in my pocket and it looks like the floor disappeared below me, I plummet down to the earth, you are dead...

 

 

 

Day 3

 

 

I wake up on the shores of an unknown place, last thing I remember is falling down from a stairs which mysteriously lost it's floor so that I fell through. I still do not know where I am, I do know that railings and stairs are dangerous and that zombies live here.

Once again I quickly search my pockets and not surprisingly end up with a flashlight and a working battery, nothing else, except the clothes I am wearing. I'm thirsty, must be because of all the salt water..

 

 

Well, these were only a few of my deaths. I've had numerous ones, due to bugs, stupidity my side, bullets from bandits, being sniped when thinking I'm moving undetected on an airfield, bleeding to death, die from thirst,hunger..

Ah well, the next death is soo close by, mistakes I've found out so far are unforgiven and punish you often lethally, which imo is a good thing.

So far I've killed once, beside zombies I don't count those, they're NPC's and that kill was justified in my opinion. He drew a gun on me, too bad I was a little quicker and ended his life and he only damaged me, rags ftw :)

 

Also I encountered an interesting moral dillema; I was happily cleaning out the NEAF and had to eat, I mean really had to eat, so I found this body on the floor, free stuff is always good and I cleaned him of everything he had.

Thankfully he had some food on him and I was happily eating away when I noticed that he actually was still alive and I could force feed him.

Since he already was unconsious and I really needed the food to live I did not do it, since it would have decreased both our chances of survival and I wasn't sure I could trust him.

 

Some newb questions:

 

1: How long does your body stay? I assume that's untill the next server-reset.

 

2: How come when respawning I have to wait very long and it's alot faster to just exit and start again?

hmm, not sure how my post ended up in two different styles..

1) Last unofficial number we heard on this is 4 hours.

2) most likely a bug, but I too prefer to just log off instead of wait on the respawn.
