Adventures of a Dayz Eejit!

[Sula 1205]

Marvellous! Yep, that's the sort of day I had in Dayz, yesterday. :D

Just when I start to feel I'm not doing too well in Dayz, lady luck comes my way. Now, I'll admit it, I die a lot. A few days ago, I died around 30 times. :huh:

And no, it wasn't bandits or baddies, it was bleeding out from zombies while I try to loot a can of beans, or hackers every time. <_<

And then, thanks to this wonderful community, some lovely person will step in and offer me a back pack or a nice gun to use instead of my axe, or maybe their company for a time, with lots of great advice about where to go, how best to move and so on. :thumbsup:

Just after dieing about 30 times, a few days ago, another lovely player contacted me and offered to meet up with me for part of my travels. When we met up he gave me a gps(!), a ghillie suit, some food and big gun! I was overly whelmed. I won't name him until I've had a chance to check he isn't bashful about my gratitude and thanking him in the forum.

So I decided that now I had all these things I should go on an adventure! I'm not a noob any more, as I've been playing for a couple of months but I just cannot get the hang of pointing my weapon at a zombie and hitting it. It can take 4 clips just to down one zombie, by which time every other zombie on the server has arrived. :o But that's just life, isn't it? You have to keep trying or you never improve. I bid my companion adieu and headed off up north on my own. I assumed I'd die within ten minutes but I didn't. Ok, I stuck to fairly low population servers and travelled at night (got night googlees now too!) but I'm still doing it!

One of my happiest times in Dayz is running through the forest alone. It's so peaceful and always hilarious when a pig or other animal wanders by. I usually have to hit them with 20 or 30 bullets to kill them but at least I can do it, so that's progress! :thumbsup:

So my adventures took me up to the North West airfield alone, hiding from other players, who didn't seem to see me - so I'm guessing they didn't have infra-red maybe. I had a look for some ammo, picked it up and got out, as I had my axe and my big shiny gun already.

I then headed over to the North East airfield. I didn't need anything but I wanted to see it. Beautiful countryside it is too. Later on my way back down South, just outside Berezino I found a boat! It just needed fuel. Of course I couldn't get the right click to refill my jerry can but I had enough to get me to Elektro, where I met a pal of mine. He's a lovely, friendly noob.

I tell him all about my adventures and I ask, "How have you been doing?". He says, "Oh good, I found bike, well 2 bikes". :o I tell him, "We're gonna need more jerry cans!"

We then spent two hours of hilarity with this eejit (me) trying to show my pal "how to do things". Me - like I have any idea what I'm doing! I tried to show him how to sneak into a barn and grab a jerry can.

Unfortunately, I went deaf, so I told him to keep watch and if he hears an angry zombie or sees one close to shout out zombie to me on skype. However, I noticed him legging it away, and that the world was going grey. I'm being attacked! "Yes, sorry, I panicked and forgot to say." I know that feeling, I've done it many a time.

The result of my sharing my expert (not) wisdom (not) was we limped off into the hills leaving behind two thirds of our blood and had to eat all our food. :blush:

This evening, I'm going to try to show him how to refuel bikes and boats, and how to drive. I expect to die repeatedly! :thumbsup:

Nice story...thank you for sharing. I can relate to your escapades, as I find myself playing in much the same way.
