Guardian angel with a gun

[GpB311 236]

Yea, probably could just file it under "hero," but thats what I was calling it in my head.

I got lucky hitting up Cherno, Elektro, and Balota airstrip on a near empty server, so I am finally geared up and with actual ammo for the guns Ive found.  I was playing alone and not seeing anyone where I was, so I hopped onto a more crowded server and started heading back down the coast.  I initially had no intentions and even gave thought to being a bandit for a while, but decided to go another route while learning to use my mosin.(First time I had found one in 25 hours or so of playing) 

I ran into a few different new spawns that had damn near nothing, but since I dont carry tons of food, I only had so much supplies to share.  Instead I decided to just watch their back as they ran around trying to get healthy, stock, up, whatever.   I followed them to whatever town they ran to and would set up somewhere I could watch them and snipe any zombies or bandits that approached them. 

I followed one player in a clown mask from town to town without saying a word and think I started to freak him out, but he never tried to kill me even once he got an axe, and helped me when a couple zombies somehow snuck up on me, so I helped him until I lost track of him.

I only killed one person who appeared to be a bandit intent on killing one of the people I was following, but shooting the zombies from afar was plenty fun since I had only used an m4 and pistol til then.

One thing I did worry about is whether I was taking their fun away.  Sure, its a bit hard being a new spawn with no good way of defending yourself from zombies or worse, but I figured some people might not like having those challenges dispatched before they even had a chance to do it themselves.  


One of the people I helped hadnt noticed me, so when two zombies were charging at him while he only had a shovel; I dropped them before he even had a chance to swing.  He must have been a bit surprised to see two zombies in the middle of attacking him suddenly drop dead, but I hope he appreciated it.

more people will appreciate it then not

its quite a surprise to hear a shot ring out...... realize... your not dead..... and furthermore.. the threat is!

I could have used a guardian angel myself tonight! 

 

I was running around in the towns on the coast, which I accept is dangerous when alone, perhaps even foolish, when I think I hear a voice.  I havent a clue what town it was, but suddenly when I turn around the voice gets louder and all I hear is "Stop resisting!" before an m4 starts to fire.  I have no idea where he was, but I was very dead and back to square one.

As annoyed as I am to be essentially KOS'd on what was labeled as a "no KOS/civil" server, its true that the scariest, and maybe even funnest, part of the game is when you have nothing and are halfway starved and dehydrated trying to stay alive.  Having a pack full of ammo, an axe, a mosin, and enough supplies to keep me alive on the road felt like an accomplishment, but it had become a bit monotonous. 

My goal tomorrow is to actually meet up with someone or a group and do some adventuring.  Ive only played by myself thus far and think itd be more fun with some friends.

Zombies as fresh spawn never are fun. You did some good work, and I'm sure everyone appreciates it.

I'm down for grouping up, alone is boring and I feel like doing some good deeds ^_^

[GpB311 236]

Sure, Im down for whatever.  I usually hop on after work on weeknights around 6 or 7 Pacific time. I go Sir Doctor Ninja on steam.

I see you have more slots available for more beans. Hear you go....

un fortunately the servers arent allowed to be a 'no KoS, or PvE only' as they are only public hives so yeah, too bad on you though, has happened to me a few times aswell

I thought i had a guardian angel last night, came across a zombie then shots started a'poppin, zombie goes down... sweet!

 

Turns out the guy has a shit shot, he was aiming for me the whole time as i found out a whopping 5 seconds later whilst i'm stood there going for a high five.

If solo its healthier to play paranoid and maintain as much cover as possible. If you see someone dont try to meet right away. If they see you be vocal that any aggressive act will be met with deadly force. This includes running at me with fists up

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I never anticipated this post would get such a response!

I had used this server, the one I was killed on, before and had met a few friendly people who never tried to kill me, but I imagine some people see any server marked civil or no KOS as one that is full of easy targets since theres nothing really stopping them from doing it.  Messages about the banhammer coming down on anyone who KOS flashed on the screen when I joined, but I dont even know who it was that killed me, so I dont see how that could work anyway. 

Tonight will mark my first effort for group adventuring, so we'll see how it goes.  I signed off after respawning, so Im clueless as to where I am at the moment.
