My 1 week success story.

[Waylander The Origional 21]

I. Am a noob.

I. Am also a successful noob.

You see, I heard about this mod from some people (Read: Tools) I know in real life. I went about with them, not really getting anywhere. I would roll into chernogorst, loot an alice pack and perhaps a makarov. It would usualy end there. However, I split from this group and went out into the big wide world on my own.

This did not last long, for I found another group. These were people I had never met, who were looking for more people. I joined up and met up with them in elektrogorst. A hacker spawned in and, for lack of a better term; "Owned the fuck out of us" the next day. We changed tactics and started spliting into groups of 2-3 to loot. We would all hit the same general area, but would either hit multiple towns or multiple city districts simultainiously. For the last 4 days I have been running around with either an AKM or a M4A3 CCO, and a full toolbelt. We found a bus, and now base ourselves out of the forests up north.

Story over, now for the facts:

I survive, and thrive, because I found a group that suits my playstyle and needs. This is not for everyone. I know people who can live with a DMR and an ATV. The point is, the reason many new players fail is because they follow the "DayZ Playstyle" and not their own. Avoid chernogorst? I hit it every day*. Up north is safe? Ive been in more firefights around devils castle than I have in the citys.

The moral of my story is: The advice of others is great, and you should heed it. However, you should always try your own ideas and plans first.

Lol devil's castle.

You are just asking for a fight if you go there.

Usualy there are 4-7 of us so the fight is usualy won. We camp out at devils castle before raiding the airfields and such. Its a handy fall-back point.
