CrowZer0 2 Posted July 24, 2012 (edited) Well I started playing on Friday the 13th I believe, the first day was spent trying to find a couple of friends and dying over and over again. I did a lot of reading watched a lot of videos and since then I have a little squad. Sometimes it's me on my own until a friend gets online. Most of the time it's two of us getting owned by groups of bandits. I won't kill anyone unarmed, I won't kill someone with a secondary or melee weapon unless it's "Jason with the bloody axe". Me and a friend were in the control tower in Balota Air Strip waiting there for a friend to join us from Elektro, so while we are keeping an eye out on things making sure bandits don't come our way. I go down and see Jason with an axe, I was on TS with the friend, I said "Rice is that you with an Axe?" he started squemaing, no wait SHOOT HIM. I said no, Jason continued eerily looking at me, then he came at me with his axe. Funny thing is, I had an AKM and M1911. I was like dafuq? Funny thing he returns 10 mins later this time trying to get rice who had a M16.Well since then, I've been all over the place, spent a fair bit of time first 3-4 days in Cherno/Electro, recently we have been roaming about having BBQ's and going to the NW airbase, NE airbase, Stary Sobor. We are learning to survive against the bandit snipers, alt f4ers. I've seen 3 range finders, a few Coytoe backpacks, 1 Night vision goggle we took from a couple of snipers in Stary Sobor, and an AS50. We did lose them 2 hours later in the NE airstrip to 3 guys, who were surprisingly fast at getting back there after spawning so well equipped...I don't usually snipe, but I'm the scout sniper/counter sniper at the moment with a DMR, trying to learn the whole mil dot/zeroing thing.Well if anyone wants to join me in playing and my lil squad, (good things happen with us).We move around a lot, mostly north of the southern cities, berezino, stary, nw airbase etc, we might occasionally go down to meet our respawned buddies, if they had good stuff we protect it for them or pick it up. We don't REALLY share food or drink, but say someone had an extra primary weapon in the pack for the team (in our tents) which we do. Someone had 4 water bottles etc, we share. If someone is low on health we hunt boars and cows and make like 16 steaks and split them. Nothing formal just friendly fun.We are based in Europe, me and a couple of others in the UK, friends in Norway, Finland, France, Holland. So if you are european, have teamspeak wish to join us, send me a message. :)Usually we are in groups of 2-5, might be alone sometimes playing very safe, the biggest squad when everyone's on at the same time (weekends perhaps) we had a squad of 9. We have a couple of vehicles, hopefully well hidden... a few tents spread around. We learn quickly, and think about the game. Luckily we have a couple of players with over 200 hours on DayZ, I think i've clocked up at least 6 hours a day the last week, I think one day I was on 8 hours and went in to work with no sleep!

J-Man (DayZ) 0 Posted July 24, 2012 Your lucky to have found a sniper. I've been playing for over a week and still haven't found any snipers. The best weapon I have is an M40A3 w/ holographic. I had newly spawned and went into Elektro to start some looting. I went into the pub to scout out the office block and a player walked past me. I panicked and hit, killed him with one hit. His friend then came downstairs and starting shooting at me (very terribly must I add) so I also killed him. Killing them was definitely not what I wanted to do. I was hoping to be friendly with them. Playing with my Turtle Beach's turned up for maximum effect and atmosphere probably isn't the best thing to do sometimes.It's great to hear that you're enjoying yourself!

Good stuff happens there. :) Also the fire stations in Cherno and Elektro. We have found maybe 10 snipers this week, mostly CZ550s, one M14 AIM (I believe) Most of the rest is defending/killing bandits and stealing their stuff. Example walking in the tree lines north of Stary Sobor... Wait... zombies at the tents... How far away are we? 400 metres PEW PEW, SHOTS FIRED "AGHHH IM DOWN LEGS BROKEN" everyone prone, get eyes. AHA there are 2, flank, counter snipe close in KILL WAIT THERE WERE 3. We take losses, but we pick up our friends stuff, and get the hell out of there. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
