DelayedReaction 18 Posted April 27, 2014 so, as others have done before me, I thought i'd share some of my DayZ experiences... these all come from SA as the mod runs rather poorly on my system :(. PART 1. My first few days in Chernarus were uneventful, getting my bearings, dying to zombies; thirst/hunger, typical new player experiences in this game. A few days in, one of my friends and a couple of his colleagues decided to join me. We ended up in Berezina (I'd got confused on the map and thought I was down near cherno/elektro) and had split up to find some loot when I got into a tussle with a zombie, killed the zombie but was bleeding and had no bandages. As I ran into a house to find something, I heard a voice telling me to "Wait up!" I stopped... (I was already bleeding to death, what was the worst that could happen to me right?) a guy wearing full camo gear came into my room and bandaged me, offered me an axe and a load of food/drink then took me to a nearby well. I was starting to let my guard down when one of my new 'friends' pulled out a gun and fired a bullet into the ground in front of me, I shifted my position so I was behind some cover, at which point they started laughing at me. One of the guys kept trying to get behind me to push me back out into the open and so, well and truly spooked, I thanked them for their help and with my new backpack, shades, food, axe and a full belly of water, said that I'd be heading off to go and find my friends..... The reply from one of the guys was "You're not going anywhere!" and one of his friends ran at me with his axe raised, I stepped aside from his swing at which point a zombie aggroed them and came charging into the midst of us all, I took the opportunity to make a break for it, heard a couple of shots zing past me as I ran, heading back towards the coast and south. Feeling the adrenaline pumping and a feeling of elation at my escape, I failed to see the zombie right ahead of me and took a few hits causing me to start bleeding again... sadly I was still unable to find any bandages (and at this point I didn't know you could tear clothes up in to bandages) and bled out in a house in a small settlement just south of Berezina... PART 2. One of my colleagues (who has also posted in this forum) bought the game, and so we (finally) met up in Berezina, along with my other friend who had bought the game. We went to loot the police station and managed to get some good loot, as I was running out of the police station, I run into an incredibly hostile guy who just guns me down instantly, I start to respawn and can hear my mate exacting vengeance. luckily I respawn on the coast south of Berezina and start running frantically back to pick up the loot from my corpse. While this is going on, My friend guns down another 3 people who turn up and attempted to pick through my corpse, then my colleague arrives and just stands in the middle of the road looting my corpse, he gets shot but lives and my friend guns down another 2 people at which point we're both shouting at my colleague to 'get teh f*** off of the road!", As I was running back, I notice i'm being followed by a guy wearing a red hard hat who keeps trying to get my attention. Knowing that my friend is a bit trigger happy I warn the guy not to follow me any further as he is likely to die, he vanishes faster than football fans when their team are losing 3-0 with 10 minutes left to play. I get back to my corpse to find a lot of my stuff ruined but still enough stuff to keep me going, as well as a few other bits from the pile of corpses now littering the road outside the police station. PART 3. From Berezina we decided to head to the 'relatively' nearby airstrip to see what we can find, we get there with no further problems and loot the hangars, someone had already been here judging by the stuff laying around but we get a few bits of ammo/better backpacks etc and head up to the AT tower. while we're up there someone takes a shot at us causing us to hit the deck and after looking around for about 5 minutes, we are unable to locate the source of the shots so we proceed to check out the other building. Shots fired at us as we were moving, I see movement in the upper window and my friend opens fire, getting a lucky shot and killing the guy. we move in to the building and come across someone camping the stairs, my friend takes up a position to be able to move and shoot if the guy doesn't co-operate. I ask the guy to drop his weapon and we'll let him leave. He refuses, so we move up and kill him, my friend unfortunately takes a few bullets and goes down, I splint his leg, and go to give him a blood transfusion which turns out to be the wrong type of blood and he dies... just after that some guy wearing next to nothing walks through the doors exclaiming 'What the hell happened here!?" (there was blood spurting from various locations in the room). my colleague tells him to stand under the stairs while we clear out and he flips us the bird so I shoot him, at which point the server restarts and when we log back in he's gone so my colleague and I have a quick scout around the airstrip for any new lootz and head out to one of the nearby buildings. PART 4. I had been at work all day so my friends had been playing without me. My colleague had died several times so had absolutely nothing but he got lucky with a few decent loot spawns just before I logged in for the day. We met up and headed back to Berezina (we always seem to gravitate back there for some reason). My colleague came across a bambi being attacked by zombies and decided to help out, unfortunately he fell foul of one of the new super (read as "post patch") zombies and was lying unconcious in the middle of the road, The guy that he had tried to help came over to see if there was anything he could do, he didn't have an epi pen and the defib didn't work (I don't know if it should have, we were just trying everything we could) when my friend says "Oh, I have an epi pen", and proceeds to administer Morphine to try and wake him up..... (he got trolled hard for that for a few days) We asked the bambi to stay back if he didn't want to get shot and he moved back a bit, I think he just wanted to be near us so we could deal with zombies if anymore showed up, then my friend just decides to shoot him anyway.... -------------------------------------------------------------- So those are some of my experiences ingame so far. Some of them have been incredibly frustrating, but above all, they've been fun. Desync plagues us a lot of the time, I've been shot by my friends a few times during desync (he asks me where I am and I say i'm out by the hangar so he shoots the guy crouching in the fire station only to find out that it was me.....) I really enjoy DayZ and although the bugs can get a bit annoying, it's an alpha and I was aware of that when I paid for it so you won't find me complaining, The game can only get better in my opinion and i'm looking forward to the future updates :D Peace Out!

DelayedReaction 18 Posted April 29, 2014 PART 5. Happened last night, I bought my housemate a copy of the game a few days ago but hadn't been able to get on at the same times due to work/other commitments, we logged on and realised we were somewhat close to each other... He was a few miles away from Kamyshovo and I was heading down towards elektro from berezina. I was very hungry and thirsty, had run into a guy with a gun who had grunted something incomprehensible at me and then left me alone so I was a little bit wary of my surroundings due to this, half expecting him to gun me down from a distance, I stopped off in a couple of the random houses by the wayside when I saw a couple of guys with full camo gear and rifles heading towards me, they shouted out at me to get on the floor so I complied (I had a double rifle with no ammo, a backpack, hat and a full medkit so it was pointless arguing with them.) They entered the house and handcuffed me, one of them looked like he was trying to put a sack over my head but it never happened, then they removed my ruined trousers and started talking to me, they gave me an sks with no ammo and told me that if I so much as pointed the gun at them as they left then they would drop me where I stood. I assured them that I had no intentions of doing so and just wanted to get down to where my friend was waiting for me. They gave me food and drinks too! They left on their way and I continued on to where I was headed, few seconds later they are running behind me and asked me if I wanted anymore drink, I said if they could spare one more that would be sweet which they obliged, also gave me a gasmask as well, the guy that handcuffed me (I think) then came over, said that he 'owned' me now and that I would be forever known as 'Dave', I played along with them and they eventually ran off into the treeline and I continued on my way :D 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DelayedReaction 18 Posted May 10, 2014 ...friendly bandits. You were really lucky that one time, "Dave". Best of luck in Chernarus.indeed I was lol. I should have come out with my best holly impression and said "Everybody's dead, Dave" but alas, hindsight is always better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yummysinsemilla 0 Posted May 12, 2014 How are you running into so many people who don't shoot you on sight? Everyone I have come across with a projectile weapon has shot me on sight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DelayedReaction 18 Posted May 12, 2014 Well the first people I ran into tried to kill me but I managed to get away, the last lot I have no idea why they didn't, maybe because I complied and didn't argue? Every other time ive just been shot on sight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
