Heli update has revived DayZ

Recommended Posts

Last could of days haven't really been that fun... spawn in, kill noobs in cherno, kill more noobs at NWAF and log off.

But NOW with the chopper(s) it's almost like a brand new game! Running through known locations searching for helicopter(s) is so awesome.

Only problem I see atm are the 10 year old admins who force-kill the server and ban you once their horribly hidden chopper gets stolen.

July 30, 2012: 4 bans.

Yeah my squad basically would hoard vehicles and items and I mean we'd get raided every now and again and then find more vehicles and items and hide them elsewhere, it was a rinse and repeat deal.

About 2 weeks ago though our Ural got stolen and we were pretty pissed, any good military weapon you could think of was in it, SVD Camo, L85A2, AS50, etc etc, the most distinctive part of the inventory of the Ural was that there was 16 Blood Bags.

So, yeah, 2 weeks ago it came up missing, oh well we moved on and made about 3 more bases, obviously we would make one after another was raided. The helicopter update comes back, after hours and hours of searching, and a bit of forum research, we found the UH-H1 on the only apparent spawn point that's been reported thus far.

After about 4 or 5 hours of fuel and part trips to the Polana factory and lootpiling, we finally come up with the parts we need to get the thing running. Fortunately earlier we found a boat so we were able to make a few ferry trips, since the boat doesn't have an inventory that was our only option. Got the chopper running and airborne, with hardly any fuel. Took it to a nearby fueling point, spent 10 minutes with a small fuel train, and we were off. Within 30 minutes of base-hunting, we ended up in the forests west of Kamenka, and we spotted a Ural.

The 6 of us in the chopper were ecstatic, we couldn't imagine that it'd be our Ural but it was a Ural still and likely to have plenty of supplies. We landed, inspected the Ural, and to our surprise, 16 blood bags were in it, as well as our NVG FAL, L85, AS50, everything we had put in there in a weeks worth of having it, was still there, except one SVD Camo, but that was no issue to us.

We had one of our guys transport it to safety, I myself don't know where it is but, damn that was a great bit of vengeance. Whoever stole it will log back on and find it missing, and that was enough to put a smile on all our faces. We'd have never found it if not for the Huey, so hell yeah, I love the Heli Update!

I really do love this game for the stories and memories that come out of it. My character is 9 days old and I have heeps of stories on just this one life. Had a few near-death encounters haha, oh and my dude's legs had to have been broken about 6 times lol.

Now we just need some camo for our hidden vehicles and tents. I was watching a stream earlier today, and the group was basically just raiding camps in their heli. The camps stood out like a sore thumb.

I need to get myself a choppa.

It should be noted that you can eject out of the helicopter and you get a parachute and even if you bounce off a bunch of trees you'll land unharmed now thats raiding camps like a boss. lol
