peebeds 12 Posted August 7, 2012 OK, so I was playing Sunday night for a couple of hours early evening before the Squirrel gang got together for our regular Sunday night BF3 session. Everything was going swimmingly....well, kinda......I was very low on blood (2500ish), dizzy, kept passing out, plenty of water and coke, pain killers, blood bags, morphine etc etc, but no food and no knife....so no blood!!I was laid near the store in Palona. I think I could see it through the blurryness of my rather weak vision, but I wasnt sure......and there seemed to be infected fools bumbling around every which way!So I left it there, went and played BF3 for a few hours and decided I wuld try and find someone on here who might be able to assist me with a blood transfusion (none of my mates play DayZ.....I know.....can you believe it??). So Monday morning, I post up that I need some help, but Im not getting much joy, until I find someone who is in a similar position as me but he has broken legs. I PM him, tell him Ive got morphine and Im not a million miles from his location. I'll come administer the morphine, if he would reciprocate with the blood. Deal done, we aim to meet on Skype Monday night.Come Monday night, kids are in bed, Mrs watching TV, yay Ive got a few hours to myself. Swich the PC on, load up ARMA2 but can I get into a server.......can I bollocks! The game just keeps freezing at the LOADING screen after joining a server. I try loads of different ones. Nothing. I reboot. Nothing. I restart my router. Nothing. I update the beta (sneaky, I hadnt noticed that) but still nothing. By this time Im getting really pissed off. How can a game that worked perfectly fine just 24hrs ago, not work the next day when nothing has changed on the PC?? Feckin game drives me MAADDDDD I tells ya!!So I nip down and get a Desperado from the fridge and decide to give it one more go. I reboot the PC (again), I reboot my router (again), I get Worram to check for updates (again), check ARMA for anymore sneaky updates and ask Mr Battleye to play nicely. I choose my server (UK210.....daylight even at night....ace!!)....and sit back and twiddle my thumbs. To my surprise, in fact I damn nearly soaked my monitor in beer, it worked. There I am, staring at the supermarket in Palona.......infected all around me wanting to eat my eyes out!Sadly, my mate didnt get into Skype all evening, so I decided feck it, its only a game.....if I make it great, if not...Im on the coast again. I crawl to the market, eat about 8 tins of beans to get my blood back up, and find a hunting knife.....Joy of Joys, I can now go kill a beast!Crawl out of the village, Im wondering where I will find an animal to donate its hind for a better cause and bugger me if I dont go a trip over a pig. I kill it, gut it, cook it and eat it. Im feeling a bit better now, my first ever cooked meat in DayZ. I then find a pair of sheep, sorry guys, your mine! Killed, gutted and cooked.....Im feeling like a butcher now, and I'll tell you what......I feckin love this game!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DayZofWarZ 3 Posted August 7, 2012 (edited) Yeah it's a great game. And if you're Irish or have any Irish blood, I and a friend are setting up a clan if you're interested? Edited August 7, 2012 by DayZofWarZ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
