Losing and Regaining Faith

[willey.erd@oundleschool.org.uk 506]

Hey guys, I have been playing DayZ for about 3 weeks or so now and I have been enjoying it quite a lot, although I have never really had a successful life. Basically, this is my story about what happened to me today as I lost my best life yet (by a very long stretch) to what I believe was a hacker; I will post details and maybe you might know more about this than me, so you could help me out by putting closure on that life.

So, after having travelled up the map with my two friends, and visiting NWAF, we were pretty kitted out with and L85, M240, M4A1, NVGs stuff like that. Then, we decided to set up a camp on top of a hill overlooking the Podeba (I think) dam in the far North of the map. It seemed safe as from the dam you couldn't see our campfire and it was forested over. We had a few tents and then we began to find vehicles, we had in the end 3, which, considering as I have never found one before was quite cool.

Moving on to the last couple of hours. We all spawned in and met up at camp, after having been out collecting supplies in our truck. We parked up in the forest and saved all the vehicles, then proceeded to sort out our tents and that, getting ready for our next 'outing'. We were there for about 20 minutes, we filled up bottles at the dam and had some food, then all of a sudden our vehicles disappeared. About 20 seconds later, as two of us went out to investigate, I think some sort of turret appeared and mowed us down. My other friend D/C'd and survived but surely that is not legit? It was nighttime so maybe I am wrong but it sounded kind of like an AS50 but automatic.. Needless to say I was pissed; What I think is a hacker T/P'd to me only to kill me, he doesn't want my stuff just wants to piss me off. He succeeded!

I took the respawn and changed servers, I felt as if the original (De 695) was 'tainted'. I was near Elektro and I went in towards the church. There was a bus near the church in poor condition but a dead player nearby had a wheel which I took and attached to the bus, so it could move. I took it to the Elektro Industrial Park near the coast and fixed it up, but in the process I was shot, which broke my leg and made me pass out. I was unarmed so I guess he wanted my bus. However he never came to my body or finished me off so when I woke up with about 118 blood in crawled into the bus and took off towards Cherno where my friend was.

On the way, my friend told me over skype that he had been sniped; tbh I was getting tired of this random banditry and felt like leaving it. Then, as I continued along the road, a guy with a Makarov ran past and said he was friendly. He could have just shot me for my bus but he agreed to help me by giving me blood and morphine. So we went to the north Hospital in Cherno and he fixed me up, I offered him my bus to thank him but he turned it down. This restored my faith a bit in the DayZ community, because that guy could so easily have ended my life and took my full condition bus off with him for his needs. Now my character is in the Cherno Apartments, I hope this life can go better than my last.

Thanks for reading my first (incredibly long) wall of text! But if you didn't:

tl;dr - Got killed by a hacker on a good life, found a bus in elektro nearly died (118 blood) met a friendly on road to Cherno who fixed me up without killing me for my bus. Faith almost restored.

Almost? Your faith should be completely restored! You found a guy who helped you without killing. That's damn rare these days.

3 days it took me to lose mine and my faith has never been restored yet.

Mind you , I havnt given anyone the chance too either. I stay well clear of everyone since then.

I have been killed by bandits before, but these hackers made me lose faith completely until this happened.

I don't trust anyone in general, but I kind of feel that if I get sniped in a city that's fair game. However hackers just piss me off so much.

Every once in awhile I let someone live. Tis rare, only happens if they see me first and don't take the shot.
