vcmedic 29 Posted August 24, 2012 I mentioned this in a post on the medic thread but I thought it deserved its own topic.Earlier today, I was killed by the bug where you die upon login, and then respawn with absolutely zilch in your inventory (seriously, I didn't even have a flashlight, bandage, anything). I was contemplating what the heck I should do next when I happened across a tent set up on a hill above Elektro. The tent had a couple bandages and a Makarov with some ammo. Always wary, I thought perhaps it might be a sniper trap, but it was set up amongst the terrain in such a way that it would have made for a terrible trap. No, it was clearly set out by some thoughtful person to help out people spawning on the coast. Not five minutes later, that bandage saved me because I would have otherwise bled to death from a zombie attack.I play a medic character, and I think this is a cool idea. Gather up some food/bandages/small arms/etc. and place them in tents in helpful locations where new/just respawned players can stumble across them (being sure not to put the tents somewhere that they are sniper fodder). I plan to put some tents up along the southern coast with a few goodies to repay the favor, and I hope some other people read this and get the same idea.I went from being wacked out at 3 am, pissed off at having just lost all my gear, bumping into shit in the dark, and generally not having a good time, when I stumbled across that tent. After an extremely frustrating evening, it made me feel just a little better. And I can't express how grateful I felt to the anonymous person that put up that tent after I nearly bled out in the dark and was saved by one of those bandages. It's the small moments like this which make DayZ great, and why I keep playing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jepix 20 Posted August 24, 2012 Look it the other way, that guy probably cursed you when he spawned fresh, went to his tent and saw everything was gone! :D But you raised your karma and it made you feel better and that's great ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Though it was pretty obvious to spot...if you're going to put up a tent within a couple hundred meters of a spawn point you can't really expect people not to find it :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olisonera 126 Posted August 24, 2012 Nice work, bro. There's lots of empty tents out there and any that I find I'm always sure to deposit my excess food/drink, survival gear and medical supplies into for other survivors to use. (No weapons or ammo, there's a story on these forums where someone aided a random by giving them a gun who then went on a killing spree.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
