Basebuilding is Hell

[eisenmaik 17]

Howdy Boys,

 

so me and mah Homi started Building a Base. We knew that we have to collect some Tools first of cours. We played on third person server at the very beginning on liviona. My buddy is new into dayz and i played it in the early days.

It took us 2 hours until we found a good spot in -our opinion- for a base. We had both an Axe and Saws, we had two Boxes of nails. We build an Tower and 2 Walls with 6 Loot Crates. I was sure it would be safe cause we were realy out of range for most interesting high loot spots. So we needed more nails... lots of nails!. We ran 3 hours around and found 1 box of nails! yippi -.- but at least we had alot of hammers/axes and saws + many Munition and handguns. We ran back to our base spot and filled up our crates, with all nessesary stuff a man need for building the base (Axes,nails,hammers food so on). We had 2 crates full with USG's Handguns silencers and amunition. So my Buddy ran to Brena, he needed 2 hours for that trip , searching for damn nails. I was alone at the base and used the one Box of nails i found.

I had to go AFK for 30 sekonds (WIFE -.-)... i was standing near my PC and throu my Headset i hear "Bang Bang Bang"... very slowly and steady ... i took instandly a look ....you are dead 😵.

I ran back to our base , 1 Hour, i saw a purple bag and my human remains (he slaughtered me😘) at our loot crates, we lost some good equipment but our Tools are right there so no problem. I heard gun shots 300-500 meters away... i was sure it is THAT guy. I gathered my lasts guns and try to sneak on him. I hide in one of these bushy trees where you cant see anybody, only the guy inside with third camera view. I couldnd see something and waited 5 more minuts. Then i try to sneak to the next bushy tree, i checked any direktion with the camera ...Nothing!. The screen went black "you are dead"...no noise... no anything...just dead.🤐

Next time we met at Topolin and we gathered 6 packs of Nails , multi tool everthing we need for a door and it was awsome, the only problem we had we were both sick...sneezing and caughing like hell...it makes me nuts but ok. me and my buddy ran to the city near our base.. we have shortly thought about not to risk it but then you know "the greed" kicks in. We ran caughing and sneezing throu the city like we dont care, and we found 4 packs of antibiotics FOUR packs unbelievable🤓... some moments  later  i heard my buddy screaming " i am friendly i am..." bam bam bam prrrrt bam bam"........ i got shot.👊. he told the enemy was in the church so i got a good position for ambush him. I used the makarov... 

the other player slaughtered zeds and i heard him coming in my direction... I saw him with an AXe direkt in front of me...i pulled the trigger and ONE BAM .....then the pistol jammed😱. He ran away, i jumped over an wall pressed R until the weapon is dejammed ..and i new he was back again at the church. heard him i looked around the corner HE SAW ME and i saw him just a moment of pure TERROR. Anyway we started blasting our whole mags into us..i was sure i hit him with atleast 3-4 bullets than i switched to my sawed off shotgun and blastet two rounds into his chest ...then i rann backwards into a small Shed. I had 4 times bleeding, i pulled the bandage as fast as i can...i heard zeds running around my shed ...the door goes open and the guy fed me up with some lead..you are dead.

Next round we met us in Brena...we ran to our base and on that way we looted every small or big city + military bases ...we killed one guy (i am very sorry for him ), we came to our base with decent good loot 3 packs of nails and we finaly started building. My buddy was in our base and used the "Fence tool" ...i ran into the forest for Logs. i was there sitting with my Saw making some planks and i heard a big Bang, my Buddy screams enemy enemy and then many gunshots...he was dead👊

i had a Mosind with self prepared silencer..i saw someone with full ghilli...i missed him. I got hit and was bleeding...i ran behind a tree and got another hit..you are dead😐

 

We just left the server... i am sure we had many situations that there is someone sitting behind an objekt and looking in third person waiting for victim.

We played on a first person server only and it took us only 2 hours and we had set up our base!. i locked in the next day at weekend than i saw some walls were messed up and one was under site open. i just sneaked near the base and heared someone eating like a pig🐷.

my buddy was offline and i got pure hatred and terror i raised my voice against my wife "STFU there is someone sitting in my base...eating my zuccini"🍆....i sneaked into my base searched every room ....he logged. We missed some loot especciali our zuccini and scopes. I ran into the city...found some nails and closed the open fences. next day i logged in and again there was a hole in our base 😡. i found a 4 numbers lock wich i was very lucky for... but ofc it is useless when u can easy open the wall with an axe.

I sit in my base just chillin and than i heard steps out of nowhere ...the guy sneaked around the base and i hoped he started using his axe to come in but for 30mins NOTHING...he logged off. NEXT DAY again a HOLE in my fuxking BASE. Me and my buddy ran into the city for again NAILS...we got tricked by a guy who used the "i am friendly Q and E signs" shot us ..i have to say my buddy is new into dayz he is realy friendly and dumb for some situations. We meet us again at our base Hours later and yes the base was open and the 4 numbers lock went missing... is it realy easy to open an 4 numbers lock???...no i was not using 1111 or 1234 or 9876... i used 5739.

Basebuilding is Hell ... without car👎

OK

I amgoingtostart with a question, but i realize this is a forums and since I dont wantto wait for an answer- I amgoing to answer for you.

You said you played dayz in the early dayz? how did you hide your loot then? thats right a tent... how did you defend the tent? thats right you hid it. How did you hide it? in some trees!  Now inthis dayz.. you have wooden crates.. these wooden crates can be buried... Bases cannot be defended- it should ONLY be used for a place to go for immediate and present protection from danger only NOT for storing loot, keeping your base locked is an open inventation to get it broken, so when you log out- unlock your base.

PS 4 sticks and a rope make a tower fence kit

 

One thing I learned with Conan Exiles- Is there is NEVER a completly defendable base- The only thing you can do is to makeitinconvientient for them to enter... the more inconvient you make it the lesslikely they will be to break in.  think about that and try some of the thoughts that run accross your mind and report backhere with your findings and what you did.

"wooden crates- player made crates

Now if a base was a spawn point- I could understand your frustration.. but it is not and actualy serves no real purpose whatsoever in Dayz.

 

Limited by your imagination of course.

ok i understand your opinion and i totaly agree with it. Today i was again try to find a lock in my city. I died instandly without any sound or noise or idea how i got kiolled .... just "you are dead".

The other problem i have is i get micro freezes eveytime i enter a city or a "spot" with many items...sometimes even high equipt player trigger this micro freezes. Someone has this problems too?
