My First Day Playing DayZ

So after about an hour familiarizing myself with the controls, and another two hours familiarizing myself with the map (coastal) I finally start to play. "Starting" off in Kamenka I find a dead body on the outskirts my lucky day, my first gun, a Makarov PM. Feeling like the total badass I like to think I am I shoot a couple of zombies, outside. Which the whole town of zombies feels like celebrating by coming to hug me. So after correcting myself and venturing out again I spawn in Balota and stop by the airfield and guess what I find, AK47!!! :D.

Again feeling like the badass I run around killing zombies left and right. I see a person running up to me, I've watched DayZ videos and get the gist of how things work, I type out friendly, gun raised at they're head till I get the "friendly" notification. Gun lowered I turn around to scavenge some more, to my dismay my company turned they're gun to me, another AK and i'm dead again.

I spawn in Balota again and try some of the factories by the docks. This player "Adde" shoots me, drags me farther into the warehouse, closes the doors and proclaims i'm his new "pet". So I, not so politely, tell him no and get shot as I drag my body to the doors till he kills me. If you haven't got it yet don't trust the guy "Adde", unless you're into the slave/pet thing.

Finally I spawn into Cherno and run to the supermarket to find a Czech Backpack and a Winchester Rifle. Trying my luck I run to the industrial area I try a building, at the tippy freaking top guess what I find, M4A1!! Taking one last trip around Cherno I look for the hospital, on my way I find two guys in the Church who try shooting me as I run by. At this point i'm playing it smart, well not really, and killed them. One had a Makarov, the other Winchester. Holding up in a one-way-in-one-way-out building and shooting on sight.

What I have on me:

M4A1 - 4 clips

Markov PM - 7 clips

Czech Backpack

Random items.

Total time played - 5 hours

Thanks for stopping by :D

Good to hear you're enjoying it. You seem not overly bothered by the deaths/killing, which is always good.

Enjoy the gear, but remember that you will lose it, and when you do, it's just an opportunity to do the "fun" bits again :P

Also, play solo for a few weeks or something, then get a team. It adds a whole new dimension. Much more fun, but enjoy the solo while you can.

Such is life in the zone. Kidding, nice work, got the jest and adjusted to the game quickly. Usually takes newbies a week or so, and by then they get on the forums and start having a cry about hacks or death. Or blatantly that the game is just shit. You are lucky with the M4A1.

It's the name of the game, kill or be killed. lol Yeah, having something automatic has a nice little touch but looking for it was a whole lot more exciting. I get where you're coming from soloing, but hearing a team in chat talking about fixing up a helicopter and some buses and totally wanted to get on that.

Never been one for bitching. Adapt or die.

Wow, very nice. All I've ever had was a M1911 and an Ak-74. As soon as I got them I get shot in the head. Still loving the mod though :D
