MR DELICIOUS

Tower defense DayZ

Recommended Posts

Was practicing something last night with the rest of my merry men.

Basically, set up a really convoluted maze of barbed wire around the base of NE airfield (works well because it is so flat). Have about twenty or thirty rows of barbed wire forcing people into one of those bank queues all the way up to the door.

Then have a friend sit inside the control tower and play "Party" by S Club 7 through direct chat as people attempt to reach the building. You need to begin the music after they've got a little way into the maze.

Then have another friend walk out onto the control tower roof and start throwing whiskey bottles, flares, chemlights and finally frag grenades off the roof at them while playing yakety sax through DC.

Finally and lastly, have someone sitting quite a long way away with a Winchester and have them begin firing as they're half way through the maze.

It sure is enjoyable to watch, and the set up really pays off in one giant three minute self congratulatory, masturbatory panic-fest where the prize is death by whiskey bottle to the head. An extra kudos goes to the pitcher - the guy who stands at the door with a wrench (from the toolbox) and smacks the guy in the head as he opens the door.

Seems legit.

Did I say this was easy? Three quarters of players just dc half way through. It took four hours to set up and wait for the very first person to come along.

In all four people have gone into the maze, three dced and one died from a frag.

Tyranny is the lack of nuance.

Here's one to try if you have a few friends playing. Find a deer stand near trees that offer concealment. Wait until someone climbs up into the deer stand to loot the gear. At that exact moment, have all your friends run out and simultaneously lay one barbed wire at the base of the ladder. Sure, they'll disconnect, but it's something more than a bullet to the head.

You've surely noticed the loo's that can be found in some villages (they even have loot inside).

If you manage to capture someone alive (by intimitating him with sheer number), tell him to lower his weapon and turn his back towards you... now tell him to walk into the loo and stand there. Once he enters, close the door behind him.

Sounds boring?

Well, heres the catch:

The loo is too tiny to able to turn around in it, so he wont be able to open the door and get back out by himself.

Enjoy ;)

(also works well as a prank to play on friends when they happen to wander into a loo)

That sounds like a busy Saturday night! I might try it on MR DELIGHTFUL tonight. I was going to add that it also works to barb wire single men into the two entry red brick houses. You have to time it right, but they can't really get around the wire or the step.

As hilarious and awesome as your first post is, I find it hard to believe it without pictures or a video as proof...

I hope it's legit though =)

Agreed, I have read a couple of your posts describing elaborate situations. Can you back it up or is it all in your head?

I can back it up. I actually went on just tonight to start rejigging the entire maze, and e were swamped by zombies continuously to the point where we literally ran out of ammo and had to D/C.

This new patch has made it almost impossible to survive an encounter in a largish town to survive all the way into the next town.

Spending three hours scavenging for barbed wire was nigh impossible with so little ammunition.

When the ammo counts get higher, or the zombie count is reduced a bit, or when stopping power means my AK can clear a room with five bullets, I'll post some pics up.

(The thing with Arma pics, is they're so damn lacklustre when seen statically. I'll try and take some footage though.)

Bear in mind that these elaborate situations are elaborate, and half the time the people D/C.

EDIT: Also, I'm not retarded, I can kill a hell of a lot of zombies very efficiently, however, we literally couldn't find enough ammo to match the amount of zombies. If we didn't find at least 2 sets of Winchester rounds, we couldn't survive the encounter. I used three frags to escape at different points.

The hoards are manic after the patch, love it but it does make situations like yours difficult.

MR DELICIOUS it seems you surround yourself around incredibly wicked people, all engaging in extremely anti-social behavior. First the knee-shooting, morphine-wasting bandit and now this?

Also I'm pretty sure its against the Geneva Conventions to play this:

over Direct chat.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

With lots of love,

Okay, I've got a handle on the zombie numbers now and me and the rest of the family will set up some DayZ Tower Defense around NE AF tomorrow. I'll update this thread with the server we did it on at some point, with video and screens to follow.

First step to rebuilding a civilized society after the zombie apocalypse is lethal game shows, everybody knows that.
