miragexl 33 Posted July 9, 2012 Just out of curiosity I know large groups are good; but I find my two man squad better for now.So far we have a UAZ and a tractor; Two Cz550 and around 6 mags eachTwo M4A3? CCO (holographic sights)Enough medical supplies and we've can live off animals/water holes.We are both survivors and I've only shot someone for shooting at me.Just curious?

Daddy'o 4 Posted July 9, 2012 Cuz nowdays I seem to be the only one left of my squad who still likes spending time with DayZ, I'll roll back 2 weeks.5 man team. 10+ tents 1.5km north of NEA. +20 automatic weapons, +20 blood bags and other medical supplies, NVGs, some rarer snipers like M107 and AS50 and a couple of machine guns. Food and water to last for weeks. 3 ATVs, 2 off-road pickup trucks, UAZ, Bus and a red civilian car.Nowdays? Just me, no vehicles, couple blood bags, 1 tent at an overlook position well hidden, a cold camp fire where no stories are shared. Just a lonely man in a ghillie, sitting in a bush close to his tent with an AS50 leaning on his shoulder and 2x .50 cals in the tent with a couple thermal guns to keep em company.It's cold, lonely and miserable. What happened to the good old day(s/z).Any possible company and feeling of social belonging is ended by a single bullet from my rifle, beckoned by the ever darkening icons of thirst and hunger.Who will save me from my fate?

Daddy'o 4 Posted July 9, 2012 Anyone who stumbles upon your vehicles will be a happy camper... Or should I say would have been.We always kept our tents and vehicles at seperate locations so that if they found our camp they wouldn't have an easy way to take everything, or if they found our vehicles they wound find our stuff.You're kind enough to already have everything in the vehicle for anyone who finds it :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good on ya for sticking it out. Can't be easy as your whole game has changed. But the off map thing had to end. But groups do fuel this game imo. And I say that as a lone wolf. In an interview at Rezzed the other day Rocket did say he's looking into other ways groups can store their stuff and make camps. Even underground hideaways. That can be defended. So hang in there man.Sorry for the off topic... In the spirit of the thread: Just me. and I own sod all as I died earlier at a helicoper crash site. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We were never off the map and out of bounds. None of us supported that style of play.If you look at the map, find the NE airport. See the radio mast marked on the north east hill? Directly 1.5km or abouts north of that, in a straight line, there is a round hole in the forest. That was our camp site.It was completely untouched for 3 weeks. Then at the same day about 2 weeks ago, our camp was found and vehicles blown up. The vehicles were hidden even better than the camp itself but not out of bounds either.
