o5pr3y (DayZ) 77 Posted March 14, 2014 My gf was watching me play today and saw me spawning on a beach, and raised a good question. Are we arriving here out of desperation, escaping a larger worldwide zombie outbreak?Or are we traveling here for another reason? Prisoners? Adventure seekers? Are we fugitives? In the end, I know the story is all our own. But how does everyone else feel? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
guppy22143 1081 Posted March 14, 2014 My character was a doctor who was sent to Utes Island on a UN aid mission. After trying and failing many times, my team desperately searched for the cure to a progressing incurable disease amongst the local population. One night, me and my colleagues were examining a person who was exhibiting... abnormal behaviour. Aggression... Loss of communicarion skills... progressive unresponse to any form of outside stimuli... he refused to eat the rice the peacekeepers brought to the island, he would only eat red meat. We had to restrain him, so he wouldn't actively hunt livestock... eventually, he wouldn't even eat beef. And more and more of the populace was brought in to our clinic, all displaying these sypmtoms. We thought they would die, so we began force feeeding them. Their bodies rejected the food and vomited all of it. We gave up, and tried desperately to treat them. We thought they would starve to death.One night, a specimen broke from his restraints. We found Dr. Haanz in a pool of blood... Outside was worse. Untreated villager s were screaming at the top of their lungs, chasing... killing... feeding... on the uninfected populace. The rest of the night was a blur... I picked up a handgun, started firing, running for my life... I jumped off the port in Kamaney and swam as fast as I could. I drifted for weeks, dehydration leaving me in a daze... I woke up one day in Chernarus, the sweet sound of Chernarussian waves welcoming me to hell.One month since outbreak, 9 million infected world wide. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Babydinosaurawr 3 Posted March 14, 2014 I'd be pretty logical to assume we were on a boat and then swam to shore, blacked out, stranded in Chernarus. An alternative is that you've been mugged and left for dead. Your captors leaving you with a mere flashlight and shite clothes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IkaikaKekai 1957 Posted March 14, 2014 I think it's been said in the 'lore' that the virus has progressed so far that only 1% of the population remains uninfected/immune. Other than that it's your own story. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dchil 829 Posted March 14, 2014 Apparently it's a few weeks after the start, that's why everything isn't all overgrown. I'll have to find the source though i think Senchi said that in an interview. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lumeria 27 Posted March 14, 2014 My character is a convicted criminal, who was forced on Chernarus for their crimes, due to an over crowded prison system where they came from. This also explains at least to my why there are so many psychopaths shooting peoples to death on the island. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

doctorbadsign 645 Posted March 14, 2014 I imagine that I was on the ship that is wrecked near Berezino and got washed up on the shore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daisho 74 Posted March 14, 2014 (edited) My character was just out to have a beer or two in a pub around the corner, things apparently escalated big time. Where the hell am I and what the fuq is going on here? Edited March 14, 2014 by daisho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dchil 829 Posted March 14, 2014 And as time goes on, they should change the map to reflect the passage of time.That was actually the suggestion that created that comment. The Dev replying said it wouldn't be as simple as changing a few numbers and then they'd be better off making a new map for each stage, which could take months or more.

slur 1 Posted March 14, 2014 I thought it was about 2 years until I saw the soccer field in Berezino - the line work looks like it was put down last month. Things went bad fast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
