Mullraugh 1151 Posted July 10, 2014 Hello everyone. Recently I've been thinking about many things regarding this amazing game. Mostly about how to prove Green Mountain is legitimately cursed to the rest of the world, but I do think of other things believe it or not. First off, I've been a little annoyed that people (mostly my 'friends' who I barely play with, or know for that matter) use online maps and other third party tools to help them communicate with friends or guide their way around Chernarus. Now, I cut whoever uses it some slack, because not everyone is a super ArmA2 and DayZ fan like myself, and wouldn't know every sign and location off by heart, which I regrettably do. But I am quite annoyed at you because you're missing SOOOOoooooooo many super amazing opportunities within the world of DayZ. I seriously am not trying to brag, because it's actually a bad thing, but I know Chernarus like the back of my hand. My friends spawn in and describe a tree they're looking at and I know instantly where they are (Okay, that's a little exaggeration, but still. I'm right every time). They are completely baffled how I could know any of these locations based off of a confused description of a dock and a metal building that looks like a tin can, and then be able to tell them where I am and how they can get to me. It's horrible, honestly. I would seriously brainwash every bit of knowledge about this game so I could start over again. It's so much fun trying to learn the map and where to go and what to do. Moral of the story is, this game is boring. It seriously is. There's literally nothing to do but walk by the rare zombie, avoid Bandits, gear up and then become the very thing you hated so much as a newspawn - a bandit. This game is extremely boring to the average Joe. BUT. I freakin love this game to death. It is hands down the most amazing game I have ever played in my life. Why? Because I create my own fun. Sure, other people do that too, they kill people for fun, woopdie do. You can only do that for so long before it gets dry and lame. SO: -If you can't read the roadsigns, teach yourself Russian. (There's even a Russian Learning book in game that you can spend hours on hours trying to find with your friends - a way to keep yourself entertained instead of killing people for no reason!) You can actually learn a real life skill in a video game, -If you don't know where you are, wing it. You shouldn't be trying to get anywhere specific anyways, just follow where the road leads you. Eventually you'll get your bearings. Today I found the full Police Uniform and attempted to arrest two hackers for being hackers. I handcuffed one and got halfway through reading his Miranda rights before the other shot me. That was fun. I will never forget that. Today I pretended to be an insane car mechanic after meeting a person who was apparently streaming. She filmed me beating a car with a wrench and talking to an imaginary friend named Gandhi. She was shot and I was killed by a zombie trying to revive her. After I respawned I met a guy named Ghandee who was pretending to be Gandhi. That was fun. I will never forget that. There's so many things you can do in this game if you accept the fact you have no idea what you're doing and just roll with it. It's seriously the most fun I've ever had in video games. Green Mountain. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Conrad_The_Comrade 577 Posted July 10, 2014 These are the things I like to see. I too, know Chernarus way better than I probably should. I could never understand however, why people kill others for fun, when theirs so much random stuff to do to keep busy. Just looking for a specific item imo is more fun than killing off everyone. The closest thing I've done to "Killing for fun" is stalking someone for half an hour creeping him out until coming out of hiding. But still, randomness is key. The key opens a door of fun. #Metaphors Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FREDDIEkillz 18 Posted July 10, 2014 I love running into people who roleplay. It can get so random and then you end of getting killed by that same guy or a random bandit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
