Snappy salute!

[Hethwill_Khan 233]

Greetings fellows.

 

First time ever touching anything day zed.

 

Never went to the mod, although some buddies kept nagging me to it, but sometimes 2 games is 1 game too much when running kids and home and job :)

 

Having a strong supportive nature, especially regarding projects with good ideas I decided to jump in the wagon and make my way through. This is probably the first survival game i touch after Robinson's Requiem, all these years past ( maybe you guys could revamp some of the ideas from it and implement them here ! Go devs go ! ).

I have grown up with strong doses of role playing across tabletops, pen and paper and also in all the computer games ( mainly simulators and sandbox styles ) I am sure i can use and abuse the DayZ sandbox environment with a group of friend and make up some good stories.

 

Yes i know, human nature will always send some d...f...s our way, but hey, if it is part of the human side of the game, so be it.

 

Also i'd appreciate pointers where to exchange soda cans for beer bottles ;)

 

Snappy salute!

Well well, 3 days gone by and some interesting experiences.

 

- Experienced the first character reset. No worries.

 

- Other players are cool beans so far. Some came with aggressiveness but voice chat seems to put a charm on them and everything goes smooth. Problem is the invisible player...with some sort of gun and slaying new arrivals. Ah well happened only once, while positive exchange with other groups of survivors happened often and surprisingly good. Salute whomever you were !!! Glad you helped, and glad I could help you out !

 

- Zombies are dangerous. Yes they can be killed, and somewhat easy once you get a chopping weapon, but getting hurt by them can lead to nasty wounds, pain, infection and suffering.

 

- I like the immersion, so no map for me ( and I don't know the map from arma mod, so ... ). So started to name places and town and drawing a draft map with name like - Pumptown, Rangerville, MooMooburg, BuildSite, ... and so on. It seems to be working for me and my buddies. We already talk about the same places in common terms.

 

- About 5 deaths later - 1 from a hiddden sniper spawnkiller, 3 from wounds and secondary effects, 1 from a fall ( was trapped in a high passage with no way out with zombies everywhere below... apparently they all decided to follow me...not me but the noises and more started to show up... so i decided instead of starving to death i'd jump and run for it ... famous last thought...).

 

Very pleasing game and very interesting possibilities for "serious" role play from the community groups ( no I don't mean pen&paper rp translated into computer game ). The entire thing is to survive long enough, so I guess while hanging in a group, or even only grouped with another buddie in a 2 man team, enhances the chances of survival to each member, four fold.
