2 Dayz in and loving it (Some Thoughts From a noob)

[Talon2000uk 30]

Just wanted to say hi and express my admiration for this awesome mod.

I've been wanting to play for a while but waited for the BI sale to buy OP Arrowhead so I could get the game to run. So with the price drop I and some mates finally decided to see how we would really fare after the Zombie apocalypse. :cool:

It took a while to get everything working and configured properly, but thanks to the handy wiki guide and video we managed to get online a couple of days ago.

Since then we have had so much fun, we've scavenged, we've survived Zombie hoards, we've escaped Bandit ambushes, we've saved each others live countless times and avenged our friends death when we wouldn't save them.

None of it was scripted, no game designer sat and wrote up a design document for our mission, it was all emergent game play. Thrilling, fun and immensely enthralling.

Yes we've had bugs, Yes we've lost stuff from our inventory and glitched through buildings, hell at one point I died when logging into the game and then spawned right on top of myself and had to loot my own corpse. :D

But none of that matters, we've had a lot of fun and some experiences to rival scenes from The Walking Dead.

Possibly I'm looking at this through rose tinted glasses because of the fact that I haven't been killed yet (Officially) and I'm sure I will be pissed when I do and I have to start all over again, but hell that's part of the fun. :D

One thing is for certain if the Zombie Apocalypse ever does happen, make sure you have some good mates to watch your back, They are essential . ;)

Hi, great to see you here. Good to hear that you're enjoying Dayz so much, it's a fun mod indeed! And you're right: playing with good mates it's even better.

Oh, and I'm sure you'll be unhappy 'if' you get killed, but hey; it's all part of surviving after all. Let's see for how long you can keep yourself alive, perhaps longer than you think (and the pain will be even greater then, when you die after 50 days with all that great gear you've found, trust me).

Hope you'll do well, see you in the field!
