Finnally found out today that friendly players are not a myth

[thelonewarrior 886]

So im happy to say today I found a player that wasnt shoot on sight.

I was creeping through the city when this guy comes sprinting around a corner (its night by the way) with a shotgun.

This guy aint stopping, armed with an AK I aimed at him wondering if he had seen me

and I get 'dont shoot just fucking run' over the microphone and sure enough the screen becomes thick with zombies and I turn and run.

S0 about 5 adrenaline fueled fleeing minutes later I find myself running down the road in the dark when I see a tower I can run into which is by some hangers, I run inside and the same guy is in there surrounded by dead zombies on the stairs and bleeding.

Theres a moment we both freeze aiming at each other, but hearing the screams of what has to be 50 plus zombies

All I get on the mike this time is 'we gonna die here arnt we?'

'Not without a fight' I say back

So I bandage the guy and my ak and his shotgun fill the stairs up with zombies, he falls back to switch to his hachet and I switch to my handgun unloading into this swarm that just doesnt stop coming.

Anyway we head up to the top of the tower and go for the ladder but the bottom is surrounded, ive honestly never seen so many zombies in my life.

We bite the bullet and light up all our flares, I have 2 pistol rounds left and all he has is his hachet.

I fire my rounds into the crowd and we both hack our way through, but as we do they take me down to uncocious and the last thing I see is the guy sprinting out the door into the night.

Hope he made it

Awesome story!

Mm. So you're telling us that there were enough zombies to warrant you both using all of your ammo and then failing while using hatchets?

Did you black-hole the server and send every zombie to your location?

Popping off that many rounds at NWAF with those guns can definately do the trick.

They should keep coming, especially if they kept firing their loud weapons. I've seen many videos with zombies attacking nonstop. People also like to camp for zombies to rack up their number of kills; it's pretty easy with an LMG.

Good to hear P helping P going on, I'm now wondering if non serious players are getting enough of the Updates and likes and now forgetting about this Mod? Are we being left with only good honest players?

Or did he not kill you because each encounter there was a reason not to kill you?!!!

Cool story.

Its a shame though that a lot of people on these forums think this game sucks.

I love it.

[thelonewarrior 886]

I have no idea where I was it was my first time heading that far north but it was an airbase of some kind, I had only 2 mags in the Ak and about 3 in my pistol.

He must of fired about 15 -20 rounds off himself with the shotgun, it was a black shotgun but I didnt get a good look at it so not sure which it was, but yes there were so many of them my game started to lag a bit

I would like to hear more stories like this.

Teaming up PvZ was likely the only way either one of you really had a fighting chance, and it made for an intense Zombie standoff scenario.

I send my friend to talk it out, if they shoot him i kill them, if not i help them

[dallas 5195]

These strange encounters is what make this experience great, shame only few hessitate long enough for such to happen.

[thelonewarrior 886]

The first time I saw the guy I thought he was running to shoot me at closer range with the shotgun, I wouldnt have fired first if I could help it.

The second time, I realised it was the same guy and he probably did too, I lowered my weapon first in the tower and that seemed to do the trick, I knew we were going to die and us killing each other wouldnt have solved anything, I guess we both thought the same thing

[dallas 5195]

Key: You were both thinking. ;)

[Justice357 12]

Haha I love this.

I once had dozens of zombies assaulting the Zelengorsk market, I thought it was some kind of glitch that was causing them to spawn in unlimited numbers. So the OP's story is believable to me.

[kozzy420 39]

Good story!

There are some nice people around!

Last night me and my friend got shot by two snipers and we started over, hit up Bolata and as we got there another person saw us and ran up to us with his guns but did not shoot us! He saw we had nothing and just left us be.

Also another time I saw this guy at the medical tents near Bolata and he didnt shoot me while I was looking for my backpack that had glitched. He actually left me a thing a bandage to which was nice.

Then another time when I did the nice deed.... I had seen someone in cherno that had a broken leg and needed morphene, so I killeed the zombies aroudn him and then gave him some morphene. (on the flip side, another time almost the exact same situation, I saw someone at BOlata medical tents and he was on the ground hurt so I gave him morphene and as soon as he got up I said he could grab some more things from my pack, sure enough he looks in and then shoots me lol).

The Good The Bad and The Ulgy, welcome to DAY Z (:

I had a complete stranger agree to follow me w/ a hatchet while I tried to escape from Cherno w/ 500bp and good items. Covered me each time I passed out, which was prob once every 2min. Took quite a while.

He got shot right as we neared the edge of the city and lost his legs. I craweled next to him all the way out of the city covering him w/ my m16.

Guy said he had to log out, couldn't quite make out what he said his steam name was.

Good people do exist. That guy saved my life when all he had to do was hack me to pieces and take all my stuff.
