Day Z – Anyone play it?

Ok, I’ve played some of this today, there was a small patch when I logged in. It has gotten harder. Zombies are harder to lose (without shooting them) and they are much more aware of their surroundings. It now matters what way they are facing and I’ve had to spend a lot more time prone to not get detected. On the other hand, I have successfully made it into and out of the centre of 2 towns without getting detected or desynced. It’s a shame it was on my own as the supermarket I visited had 3x 20 slot backpacks, somewhere I think we should explore tonight.

So yeah, no need to roll back, we should be able to crack on tonight.

So I heard you had some good pvp – wish I was there! Where did you guys head to in the end?

Yeah, we actually had an awesome night last night.

After we left you we headed north to Berezino and as we were scanning the city, Matt spotted a player heading from the east of the city west. He entered the supermarket and we guessed based on his direction, his next target would be the hospital which was actually our destination too. We got into town as fast as possible facing some pretty hair crawls past some very close zombies and worked our way to the hospital compound. As we were approaching, we heard gunfire very closely but it wasn’t directed at us. As we edged round the corner to see inside the front of the hospital, we heard his character coughing so we knew he was there, we just didn’t know if he had his guns trained on us, perhaps our characters were making noises too. I poked my head round the corner first and he had his back to me. I tried to wait til matt was in position too before I opened fire but it was really tight on space so matt couldn’t get a clear view on him. I popped several AK rounds in his back and he went down, he had a fair bit of gear on him. It was really tense, similar to what small scale eve combat feels like. We looted the hospital then made it over the the military tents in Berez and looted them too.

We logged back in later and found ourselves not where we logged off, but back where we met you for some reason. The murder had been wiped from my record, but we still had all our medical supplies and ammo. We decided to head for Stary Sobor, one of the most dangerous places in the game.

On the way there, we came across a downed chopper, a special spawning loot location where the best loot in the game drops. We managed to loot it and I dropped my AK for a sniper rifle we found there, unfortunately, no FN FAL/L85A2 AWS/NVG/Ghillie suit. We eventually made it round to Stary and looted all the military tents without incident, all we really got was a little more ammo, I assume it had been looted before we got there. We did pick up some spare tools for the next people we meet up with, matches, binoculars etc. Was really tense the whole night, crawling about in the dark in the most dangerous parts of the game.
