IncrediBurch 22 Posted August 27, 2012 (edited) So, I wanted to share this story of mine and I figure many of you probably have similar stories scattered throughout the forums. Specifically, I want to talk about when glitches in DayZ decide to help you rather than make you cry.I was on a decent survival run, had myself an M4A3 and M9SD with a couple clips and the necessities thanks to a successful solo raiding of the North-West Airfield during the day. I went into a small town to scavenge a bit, perhaps find a vehicle, and naturally attracted some Z's as I darted about. I decided to duck into a small residential house and just pop what few dead-heads were following me. Figuring I'd preserve my M9SD ammo for a more dire situation (irony incoming), I kept my M4A3 out and began blasting the Z's as they came through the door. Well, my gun was louder than I thought and there were more Z's than I thought in the area, so they kept coming. I had the ammo to spare, so no panicking just yet. Then suddenly, the DayZ gods gave me a middle finger and let 3 Z's walk straight on through the wall I was near. I back myself into the next corner, switch to Full-Auto and unload. There is a break in the wave of undead, so I make for the door. Unfortunately, one more Z walks in and traps me in a corner. Unable to escape, I am beaten until bleeding and unconscious. The DayZ gods then bestow pity upon me. As I fell unconscious, I glitched through the wall I was against, pushed outside by the "physics" and what Z's were left stayed trapped in the house. The unconscious hour glass ran out just in time for me to stop the bleeding right...at...300! (and some change). Knowing full well I was at the point where one more hit could kill me, on top of potentially falling unconscious again at any point, I made peace with my pending demise, and decided to fight til the last moment. I darted to the woods without a single Z to follow. At the tree line, my guy finally collapsed from low blood, but I survived.I managed to find a secluded spot near-by with a pond so I could hunt and drink myself back to life. Almost died of hunger too. Eventually I recuperated, only later to die from unexpected PVP hours later. I still think back fondly of how a glitch saved my life for once. Please share your divine glitch intervention stories here. I hope you liked mine and I look forward to reading yours.

CabbageRiv 0 Posted August 27, 2012 my friend wanted me to travel way up north on the 1 road behind the nw airfield. he made us go all the way till we hit debug land and he just decided to quit. so im up there stuck with no food or water and my as50 with every tool and nvgs. so my thirst starts to blink and i just disconnect cause i wanted to die another day. well when i logged on the next day i found my self spawned on the cost. and i knew it was a glitch cause that only happens when theres an update which there wasnt. But now the glitches are starting to piss me off because now every once in a while i randomly spawn at the coast. i lost a svd camo and my motorcycle due to these random coast spawning.

colekern 1364 Posted August 27, 2012 One time, after dying and respawning, I went to pick up my gear. Someone had died with me, so I decided to wait for him. I died. Again. But the server glitched. That way, when I repawned, instead of putting me in a new character, I respawned unconscious, I was the same character and I was able to bandage up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zombie Jesus 723 Posted August 27, 2012 (edited) Same story but at the control tower at NWAF. A buddy and I had a mob coming up the stairs and climbing ladders. Two full M 240 boxes later and they are still coming in. Tried to fight my way out the front but ran out of ammo and then was swarmed. Broken leg and passed out they pushed me through the wall and I managed to live.This on the same day a rock killed me at the NW Ural spawn so it was nice to have a little luck.
