Cicada (DayZ) 12 Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) I spawned on the beach in the dark while it was raining, and sat there for a little while getting used to controls, when suddenly another player runs right over the top of me headed for the town nearby. Not having any weapons, I started following him thinking he might be able to clear some zombies so I could search for things easier, but I eventually realise he doesn’t have any weapons either.He turns around, sees me, and I say hi. Then out of nowhere, this other guy just runs up to him, and from where I am it looks like he starts jostling and punching him. The unarmed guy getting bashed retreats inside a small building, so I come up to the broken window to peek inside and see what’s going on. I see blood flying everywhere and I realise this poor guy is getting bashed to death with a crowbar.The crowbar guy sees me watching, so I just bolt for it, out of the town and into the bushes, and I eventually stop to turn to see if he’s following, and I can just make out his silhouette against the sky, only a few paces behind furiously swinging his crowbar at me. Almost shat my pants. Kept running til I got to some more bushes and threw myself on the ground under them, and I lost him.I’m too scared to play again at night without a friend, lol.

schwifty 22 Posted July 21, 2012 LOL that sounds like a pretty fun first time, most people just run into town and get mobbed by zombies their first time, or shot up before even getting to a town. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fraggle (DayZ) 15720 Posted July 21, 2012 Nice, that's much better than my first time. I broke my legs entering a house. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flawlesssoul 30 Posted July 21, 2012 Well, on the bright side? Things can only get better than random crowbar wielding homicidal maniacs chasing you through a pitch black forest in the pouring rain.Well, mostly. It could happen again and involve half a dozen zombies too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doyle McPoyle 77 Posted July 21, 2012 You're lucky! Most guys have guns. Just play around with him with the direct chat. Make scary noises or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
herrjon 478 Posted July 21, 2012 Wow, wish I had that first experience. Mine consisted of running inland, finding a town, and bumping into a Zed who immediately broke my leg while I got swarmed with no gun.You don't have to play at night, just follow the time zones and you'll be fine.

randir14 7 Posted July 21, 2012 Just so you know, you don't have to stop and turn to look around. You can hold alt to swing your head around while you're still running. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ColdCamV 20 Posted July 21, 2012 Better than my first time, my first time resulted in being stuck on the top of a crane somewhere talking to another player on the other crane opposite me throwing flares around each other to make sure the other is alive..then finding out a bandit was behind me but he fell off and died..followed by me falling off and dying because of the old pistol in hand ladder climb results in death Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cicada (DayZ) 12 Posted July 21, 2012 Thanks for the welcome c:You're lucky! Most guys have guns. Just play around with him with the direct chat. Make scary noises or something.I don't think panicked whimpering counts as a scary noise. I'd only be brave enough to taunt him if I could actually fight back, lol.You don't have to play at night, just follow the time zones and you'll be fine.I'm in Aus, and sadly that means there's only about 10 servers with decent ping and they're always full, so I was forced into a night time one.To make it worse I couldn't figure out how to turn my torch on...but I was scared if I managed to turn it on, then I wouldn't be able to figure out how to turn it off, and I'd attract a crapload of zombies anyway (am I right in assuming torchlight does attract zombies?).Just so you know, you don't have to stop and turn to look around. You can hold alt to swing your head around while you're still running.Oh, that's useful! I'll have to remember that. I don't think the server I was on allowed third-person mode.

highpanda 3 Posted July 21, 2012 I broked my legs and then logged out. After that I had to wait for about 30 MINUTES or so before I could do anything because I was unconsuis. :*( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
