Not so easy come, easy go, very easy come...

[Ohjay 8]

So, after my first few deaths and learning the game I decided to head north and look for heli crash sites to gear up a bit before heading southward again. I spent about a week up north(a couple of hours playtime each day) and not finding much of value. My first heli had an FN Fal(left it) and a M14 AIM(took it), the next few helis had nothing at all, then yesterday I come across a crashed heli and once I've secured the site I approach and immediately see a package on the ground... either camo or a ghillie. It turns out to be camo(which isnt all bad) and I keep circling the heli and see an AS50 and some AS50 rounds. Paydirt! A week of trudging through the forests finally pay off and I couldn't be happier.

So after moving to safety and checking out my lovely new gear I decided to head towards Berezino to see if I can score some M107 rounds for the AS50. No such luck and I decide to move up north again, but as I do so I come across a great sniper spot so I set myself up and log off. Time for dinner.

I log back on on a high pop server and it doesn't take more than 2 minutes until I see a bandit moving across the open field. He stops for 10 seconds but my zeroing was messed up so I elected not to take the shot, he starts moving again and is obscured for a second and when I see him again he's looking right at me and I'm so startled I just fire at him. I quickly start moving(rolling) in case I missed and when I stop for a second he's nowhere to be seen and my kill count didn't increase. I figure he's alt+f4'd and the whole experience was so nervewracking I log off for a bit.

A while later I log on another high pop server and am still at the same spot, and the first thing I do is accidentally standing up. I quickly get prone and check my surroundings. I seem to be alone so I stay in my spot. A few minutes passes and suddenly I think I hear one footstep. Once again I check my surroundings but see nothing and stay put. About a minute later I hear one silenced shot, I break a bone and die...

I curse my own stupidity and log off. Why the flip didn't I move away, now I had to regear myself again.

I don't disconnect though, 'cause my killer has earned my hard-earned loot. I respawn close to Elektro and I ignore my better judgement(don't go there on a high pop server) and start zerging through town. I quickly come across a hatchet, but apart from that I find zilch. Every building looks like it's been picked clean. I enter the church, nothing, so I move towards the southern fire station and as I get close I hear flies, ah a body nearby, and about 2 seconds later I see a survivor running through the gates with a revolver in hand and several zombies on his trail. Scared like a little bunny I run into the fire station and wait for the survivor to come back and put a bullet in my head... but no. I hear shots from the revolver further away so I check out the dead body in the fire station and look for other loot, but find zilch again.

As I leave the fire station I run past the hospital and hear more flies and since stupidity apparantly is my motto I decide to climb to the roof of the hospital to see if there's anything worthwhile there...

I reach the roof and as I turn around I see a dead bandit with an AS50, I quickly hit the ground and start praying that the loot is still there.

I open the gear menu with a pulse of 200 and millions of questions running through my head, what will he have, when will I be sniped, when will the bandit be back...

The AS50 is still there, he has a coyote backpack, NVG's, GPS, rangefinder, PDW(why...?),,, he has it all. I pick it all up, still waiting for that bullet to my head by the sniper that killed this bandit.

Having learned from my mistake earlier I log off as soon as I'm done looting...

Curiosity killed the cat, but would it kill me? A few hours later I choose a low pop server and log back on, I switch on the NVGs and quickly run towards the forests north of Elektro.

I find a safeish spot and checks the backpack, what goodies does it have for me?

A ghillie, an MK 48, satchel charges...

I end up better kitted out than I was when I died with my AS50 and I log off with a smile...

What will DayZ have in store for me today?

Entertaining read mate, but theres a stickie for this...

[Ohjay 8]

I know but I'm special enough(like Ralph Wiggum) to deserve my own thread :P

(Yeah I should've posted in the stickie, my bad)

That whole "single silenced shot + broken bone + instant death" thing is evidence of a pretty notorious insta-kill hack. If you had checked your health and seen that you didn't experience any blood loss (one-hit killers like AS50's and M107's will cause MASSIVE blood loss), then you would have known for sure.

Yeah I read something about that, I didn't pay attention to my blood though.

Weird to be singled out by a hacker though, cause I was the only death at the time, but oh well. I recuperated quite well :D

Enjoy while it lasts.

EDIT: I forgot to tell you why he had the PDW. The weapon nerf made all other sidearms useless. The magazine capacity alone makes the PDW superior compared to the other sidearms.

yeah.avi

Though the G17 and M9 still have their uses. A full mag from one of them will kill a player.

Well I suppose it all comes down to playstyle. I'd rather have an AS50 for PvP, a M4/M16 for get-outta-dodge situations(PvP/zombies) and a M9 SD for zombies. But yeah, the clip size is neat for the PDW.

Oh and the "weapon nerf" wasn't a nerf. It was a fix. Unlimited ammo is something that's not intended from the get-go, so it can't be a nerf when you change that :)

And there are still at least 2 ways to get unlimited ammo(for 99% of all weapons, without duping)... I've been meaning to bug report the largest bug, but the only way I've found is through the bug-forum and I don't want to post it publicly so everyone knows about it... *goes to look for bug reporting again*

Herp my derp I didn't mean that. I mean the ArmA II Operation Arrowhead 1.62 weapon change. Weapons do way less damage (some of them, mostly pistols).

Ah, my bad. Haven't been paying attention to the ArmA II updates :)

Entertaining,far superior than 72 % of the standard daily threads :)

The pdw also takes five or six different types of clip as well.
