kysung 8 Posted August 22, 2012 I would like to start a story thread and hopefully we can be all get a nice chuckle from here to there. This may be helpful for other survivors to avoid similar deaths :3.I was playing with my friend and we were transporting vehicles parts to fix up a v35. When all of a sudden we had to travel down a steep hill. Now I've been able to just go down these hills fine in the past, but unfortunately I was moving down pretty fast. All of a sudden I walk off a couple rocks and I could not have been more than 3-4 meters off the ground when I fell. The first thought that came to my mind was, "Oh that's not bad, I might just have a broken leg and be unconscious." The next thing I read on the screen is the death message from the server. I was in utter shock that such a small drop would kill me. Fortunately my friend was able to fix up the truck and able to transport all my gear onto the truck. He was able to pick me up from Elektro and we were on our merry way.I would love to hear your story, whether it be a glitch, friendly fire, or silly shennanigans. Thank you.Be safe! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mattix90 10 Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) I was setting up on my sniping spot near Olsha, crawled under a spruce, moved a little to the right, closer to the tree and BAM! broken leg and instant death. I was lucky no one found the body loaded with end game gear and I pretty much ended up retrieving everything Edited August 22, 2012 by Mattix90 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kysung 8 Posted August 23, 2012 @dillonblunts haha yea I think I was near the factory when I died, but it was quite funny how that worksanother time at northeast airfield, we were the only ones on the server.i decided to snipe zombies, while my friends looted it.my friend caught aggro, i said "oh no problem, M107 has your back"i got my first murder that dayThis part, I swear made me almost fall out of my seat XD. Yea who needs enemies when you have friends and friendly fire. =D I loved your story and I know the feeling. I was playing with my friend the other day and on skype the feed got a little fuzzy. So while I was spotter for the team while raiding the supermarket in Cherno, I had not noticed my friend was on his way back, so when he approached out of the bush I shot him in the face XD. My first and only murder in 23 days and I was lucky we were close enough to the coast to get him regear'd. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then he glitched outside the building and was bleeding out. XD So much glitch for an alpha but hey we love Day Z. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kysung 8 Posted August 23, 2012 I was walking on a rooftop then I pressed Z to lay down, this resulted in my character jumping forward and off the roof. I diedThis reminded me of the Old spice commercial, "Swan Dive into .....concrete." It aslo reminded me of how unrealistic those prone jumps in CoD are, but oh wells, I liked this and gave me a smile =D. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kysung 8 Posted August 23, 2012 trees and doors... they should make a public service video about the dangers of trees and doors.You know, it would be funny to make a youtube video of these deaths and make a parody of these deaths to let users and the Day Z team know about the bugs and have a little chuckle. =) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kysung 8 Posted August 23, 2012 This happened on the server I play on: (2-3 weeks ago)While driving a bus, my friend and I were having fun gunning the turbo and laughing as zombies were smothered under our tires. Soon enough we were receiving gunfire and we tried to flee....(really a bus can be incognito....XD). We thought we were safe as we were passing balota when, THE ALMIGHTY ARTIFACTS caught our eyes and well......our bus flipped XD. My friend died instantaneously while I had somehow spawned at the coast and left an npc body. o-o Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Delta Smoke 01 765 Posted August 23, 2012 Me and my squad were fighting another squad in stary sobor. We lost one guy out of 4, they lost 4 out of 5. The last surviving enemy made his last stand in the supermarket. We surrounded the building. He was fucked. I sneaked in the back while my friends distracted him outside the windows. I had the bright idea of throwing a grenade in. I blew myself the fuck up ! Funny thing is when my squad rushed in after the blast, the guy didnt even move. He must have been having some kind of laughing fit at my rather embarrassing demise. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He must have been having some kind of laughing fit at my rather embarrassing demise.It's kind of like that instinct/feeling that you know you are going to die XD. I would probably do the same in his shoes, seeing that is quite the spectacle.When I was first starting out in Day Z, I ran into Cherno's hospital at night and began to aggro zombie. I wasn't able to shake any of them off and took a few love taps and bled badly. After running more and my vision getting blurry, I hear gunfire. I thought of my options and then I just stood still and saluted. Whoever was there, putted me out of my misery with my 3k health. XD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kysung 8 Posted August 23, 2012 @ Bonehead555, I sometimes can't believe how strong the environmental obstacles are. Another funny glitch is that atv's can't pass bridges I believe. It flips. XD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Campizie 1 Posted August 23, 2012 I was on the top of one of the big building, went to get my binoculars out and pressed V instead and fell off the building. Lost 1 as50, 1 m4a1 cco sd, Ghillie suit, NVG's and lots more. Then I lost the server name. Felt like an idiot! :( 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DieKommissar 3 Posted August 23, 2012 So I was near one of the boat spawns. (not a PBX) It was a dock and there were two boats that looked usable. After hopping in one, i realized it needed some fuel. No prob, I gots a jerry can. Then when I got out of the boat. I was swimming in the water. The stairs which led to the boat didn't allow me back up, and my head soon hit it when the tide pushed me upwards. Died instantaneously. I was like WTF at first, then I was like, this game treats me like shit, but I always come back. (after a while at least) 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like getting trapped under thin ice and not being able to get out. You sir have my beans and most interesting death. =pNow I just died and I wasn't able to heed a simple warning from Mattix90, I stopped and sat near a bush and was looking at my map when I decided to pitch a tent. (Secret location). Surely enough....I glitched and died D: Thank you....bush. You are more dangerous than any bandit or any zombie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gooner205 10 Posted August 23, 2012 I shut my leg in the toilet door whilst on 2000 blood and one crawler just finishes me off. I had everything....but morphine. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DazTroyer 227 Posted August 23, 2012 Jumped out of a deer stand and broke my leg literally in the middle of nowhere. Had no morphine so had to "fall out" two more times, in between passing out, to finish myself off. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kebman 213 Posted August 23, 2012 So I'd been to town and gotten som goodies. Among these goodies was brand new binos. Once I came back up to the tree line, I thought the view was fantastic, and to celebrate, I took a closer loot trough my brand new binos. It was then I heard it. A smal twig cracking behind me. I thought nothing of it, untill I heard the loud crack of an M1911 at point blank range, and I instantly died. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
