Glenleft 4 Posted August 30, 2012 So, first of all, I was snooping around NWAF Barracks, finished in the end room and turned to leave. When all of a sudden someone appears in the corridor. I slam my keyboard to hit push-to-talk and shout out "Friendly, friendly don't shoot!"The guy looks at me and goes: "ok".At this point im extremely cautious, i don't shoot people on sight, and i hoped to God he didn't either. I asked if he needed a blood transfusion, he declined and offered me one, or if i needed anything. I was so cautious i just wanted to get away ASAP. So we part ways....As im then crossing the airfield to the other barracks, I turn to shoot 2 zombies chasing me. I take down the first and as I aim at the 2nd, a boom from a Sniper rifle rang out across the open area. I panic as i hear the crack of the shot. I get up and run, then a 2nd boom and crack. But i turn to see the zombie fall to the ground. I stop to look around, thinking im a dead man. When all of a sudden i hear over voice: "Dont worry bro, I got you."At this point im freaked the hell out, say thankyou to the mystery shooter, and run away before he changes his mind about me.Some very odd but good experiences from this Mod, love to hear your stories!PS: I have never encountered a Hacker, so my experience is still untainted! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bearhunter 0 Posted August 30, 2012 I think panicked players account for more Playerkills than Bandits actually.I was looting the Barn near Msta yesterday when i saw a guy in Ghillie suit running outside. I called out "friendly in the barn, do not enter" - something like that. He ran around the barn, came in from the otherside, saw me - and started shooting with his Makarov. Seems he did not hear me calling. Thats when I started panicking and I shot him twice with my enfield (but did not kill him - there was no corpse in the barn when I came back a few minutes later). I left in a hurry because all those 20+ Zeds chasing him where now chasing me.Panic is the real killer in Day Z.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TaterHead 8 Posted August 30, 2012 Friendlies are a rare find these days, especially on public servers. This guy would have made a good playing partner... hope you got his name and met up with him somewhere to pop a few zombies and bandits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Glenleft 4 Posted August 30, 2012 No names im afraid. But its good to know there are others out there who want to work together to live, and not kill for the fun of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twobeer 15 Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) Nice story, love it when that type of stuff goes down. One of my stories was pretty recent, myself and my friend were doing our usual scout through Elektro for supps, we were moving it slow to the building opposite the supermarket, the one with three floors, i forgot the name. We search the whole place, find good stuff, then we hear the usual 'arghh waaghh' from a zombie meaning he found a player, so we go up to the roof and go prone, one of us aiming at the door, the other looking down to find out where the fck this guy is. We then heard a couple of m16 shots, and saw that they came from the supermarket, one dude was holding it down with tons of zombies going to get him. Me and my friend both had a CZ 550 each, plenty of mags, thought fuck it, lets help him out. So we destroyed most of the zombies going into the supermarket, till there was one left, leaving that one for the poor guy inside, didnt want him to hear our shot and get our location since he might be an asshole and kill us, well try to. We lost sight of the guy inside the market, he obviously logged out or something. We start to crawl back to the door on the roof, when randomly this guy is just standing there in the entrance staring, even worse, he didnt have a weapon on him, this was obviously the dude from the market, same clothes and czech backpack. My friend shouts through his mic 'dont fucking move or ill split your head, dont fucking move' obviously it was the usual panic that fired up my friend haha, the guy then goes prone, doesnt say anything and moves out onto the roof with us. We decide to just move on slowly with me watching this random freaky dude. He follows us down all stairs to the bottom. Moving to the hospital now, just before we turn the corner to go into the street entrance the guy following us says 'give gun' i said 'what?' 'give gun new', obviously he's not English, and probably isnt playing with friends, felt sorry for him because he looked so helpless with his hands on his sides walking, we decide to give him a makarov, i had one in my backpack that i was saving for the tent, gave him 4 clips, also gave him 1 water bottle, a spare knife and two beans, i said, 'that should do you, please go now we are moving', he said 'thank' We were a little worried that he was going to kill us, we just had to be extra careful. We go into the hospital, get some bandages and the works, when the random dude comes into the hospital after us and aims his pistol at my friend, he said 'come' my friend again aims his CZ550 and shouts 'put the fucking gun down, gun down' i jump in and said 'holster, now' the guy doesnt holster, but says 'come many supplies' at this point, i could understand his accent, i think he was from china or something, again he said 'come please', so i said 'Gun down and we come' not sure why i decided to make us follow, probably the eagerness to see if this guy has supplies as he said, also i knew he wouldnt be able to kill us, well both of us. So we follow this dude away from elektro going toward the small mountain called dobryy or something. We get near the forest edge, when randomly the guy we were following sprinted ahead, obviously my friend and I sprint after him to keep eye contact, we sprint into the tree'd area and the dude stops and turns, we're still sprinting to catch up, when out of fucking nowhere we saw a glimpse of a fire and its blaze ahead on a slightly raised hill spot, with an ATV behind a tree and 3-7 guys 3 in ghilli(cant spell) suits the rest in usual clothing, all aiming at us, me and my friend immediately go prone and shout 'FRIENDLY, DONT SHOOT FRIENDLIES' we didnt hear anything back, we could see them all, some behind trees, some in the open, us two just completed prone in the long grass awaiting what was coming next, the dude we followed still looking at us aswell, clearly he was a friend of these guys, my friend and I obviously start talking really fast about who we will target if a firefight opens, our plan was pretty shit, but our situation was shit, we decided we were going to chuck a smoke infront of us, sprint backwards by about 2 meters, go prone, move left and right (i move left friend moves right) to split up, then face the enemy guys, take shots with our CZ 550 and see what happens. Not a bad plan to be honest, had to go back slightly because we were far to close for our CZ 550 to be effective. We were both ready, i pressed F once to get my smoke ready. Everything tense as fuck, still waiting, didnt want to have to kill, but we might have to. Still lying there waiting, nobody moved, not even sure if they could see us in the grass. Randomly, we heard 'friendly' from the guys ahead, then we saw two guys with no gun out walking toward us, i said in TS3 to my friend 'stay prone, ill stand and see whats up'. So i did, the two guys walked close to me, about 4 meters from me, stopped, then said 'Hi, friendly?' due to his tone of the word friendly i knew it was a question, i replied with 'yes'. The guy said 'gun down, follow' my friend stood up, we both double tapped CTRL to lower our CZ 550s, followed these two guys, both ready to switch to our pistols again since we were much closer.Walking up the slight hill no toward that warm looking blaze, everyone one of the guys was now walking with us, not behind, not in front, just side by side. High chance its a trap, but whatever, we probably wouldnt have lived the firefight in the field anyway, might aswell see if these guys are legit. We stop at the camp fire, they all sit down around it, so we did too. Then an american voice spoke up and said 'do you need any supplies' i replied with 'yes, anything' he replies with 'take what you want from the tents over there by the tree edge' 'ok sure' i said, 'just dont take anything that has 3 or less' 'haha no problem we dont need much'.So i ended taking a spare box of matches, swapping my CZ550 for an M24 with 5 mags, my friend swapping his CZ550 for a AKS74-Kobra and chaning his makarov for a M9 silenced. I kept my makarov, took a ghilli(cant spell)suit then took 10 raw meet from one tent (they had loads between two tents), 5 cans of pepsi (well two coke 3 pepsi), then that was it, sat down again, cooked all that meat, then asked 'who is hungry'.Pretty much it, we ended up just talking for 20 minutes before we decided to head of and thank them for their hospitality.Long ass story haha, was an epic day though, thought id share everything :P Edited August 30, 2012 by TwoBeer 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

twobeer 15 Posted August 31, 2012 Well last night we were saved by a miracle. We were near a town (will not name location) somewhere north, the town was terrible for yields, nothing much was enter-able. As usual, we decided to just run in instead of stealth because there probably wasnt going to be anything useful, so we run in, get chased by tons of zeds, find nothing, run out, start turning shooting running and the usual across a field, slowly but surely the zeds got picked off. After 3 minutes of repeating it, we realised more and more zeds were just coming, all the way frmo the town too, and we were low on munitions, litterally, this tiny shite town had way too many zombies!? We thought fuck it lets run, so we run up the hill as fast as we can(it was just fields and fields no woods to lose the zeds in) i had about 4 shots in my Lee Enfield, my friend had about 2 in his CZ550, not much pistol ammo either. Still running, still 10+ zeds coming. 4 minutes later you should have lost them, but we hadant, they were still there??? all of them, just running, we could have logged off but thats shit and cheating. We kept running, getting really annoyed now as its been 10 minutes of this (being honest, no lies) when randomly my friend P-scout sees something in the field ahead behind a lonesome tree... we sprint to it, its a tractor!!! P-scout gets in and goes loose, running down all these zombies all 10+, no gun shots and no worries, nice and easy just mowing them down, it was a miracle. In the end we just ended up running over sheep for meat. We probably wouldnt have died if we kept running but it was just getting annoying haha. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
