JTF2 tragedy

[CHOSENMARINE 43]

As you can probably guess, I am a member of the JTF2 clan, in the US84 server. Today, something very fortunate happened to us. If the person that did this to us some how is reading this, then please respond. If you aren't, then it's a story worth hearing...

There are usually 4 of us on the server, and today we decided to make a barracks run. Since we have a camp of 9 tents, a car, and a recently found civilian Urel (It's a big truck if you don't know), we are pretty set and ready for almost anything... almost. Any ways, The four of us, including myself, are at the airfield and need to cross the paved strip in the middle. Because we're not retarded, we scan the entire airfield for people, and hope to see nothing. Unfortunately we spot a player riding a dirt bike across the strip and we're deciding what to do about it. Out of fucking nowhere the deafeningly loud screech of gunshots burst out. At first I though one of my friends were shooting at him, but I was mistaken. I realise the piercing sound of sonic speed bullets are actually coming at us. The shooting was coming somewhere from our right on a slight hill, and close. Two of my friends die instantly, and I start shooting back with everything I have. I fired off my M4 A1 Holo with grenade launcher into the general direction that they were. I also fire A HE grenade, but it still wasn't enough to deter our attackers, and I blacked out from being hit. When I came to, I ran. I can't explain how, but I made it out alive. How I managed to emerge from the fire and death is still a mystery to me. Even as I was running, the crack of bullets were all around me. After a lot of running, I finally make it back to the camp, safe and sound. My third friend actually made out alive, and completely untouched! After the incident, he got lost, and was killed by a random sniper in the middle of nowhere.

Because we have vehicles and many tents, achieving our same status as before is easy. All one needs to do is find the camp again, and take anything you want from the tents (which is a lot). eventually all our members are back at camp and we share our stories around the camp fire. I know what your thinking, "that's not so bad! You still got all your stuff". Your right, that was the least of our worries. While sharing our storing, we decide that we need to find sandbags or something to use as cover at our base. Suddenly bullets strike me and all my friends, literally all at once, and before you can even say "what?". Then I'm starring at a screen that says "You are dead", along ALL the clan members.

All of our time on Dayz had been used to achieve what we had then. Our shooter could now do what ever he pleased with our camp and vehicles, now that we are slain.

Sorry to make such a large wall of text, but this was very tragic for us. Some of our members are taking a long, long brake from Dayz.

Spawning at the shore, I decide to try and find my way back to camp, and see what's possibly left. On my where there, a vehicle slams into my back, and I'm instantly killed. I believe it was the car from our camp....

Unfortunate but dont shed any tears over it, that's DayZ in a nutshell for you.

Nice accomplishment but things in the game are never permanent, with the wash of new players turning into veterans now they all start looking for camps, mostly for vehicles because the hardcore playing crowd annoyingly hoard them like gold. Don't despair because of this and if you are a true DayZ fan then the next morning you wake up you'll be heading north again starting over.

Being very tied to your belongings and possessions is not wise. You MUST understand you take risk of being tracked down and killed for this camp. You must understand it. You can't of course blame anyone for this, yeah, tragic incident, but only yourselves. Get over it. Be careful next time. Use tents for short term supply sites. Change places often. Never go at camp alone, always have one sinepr backup to survey the camp. DON'T SIT AT YOUR CAMP! Take what you need and leave to safety, in the woods! Don't log off at your camp. You risk to login with a bandit at your back already looting the camp. Log off in safety.

Think about it. Cheers and teake care.
