(IMPORTANT NOTE:
First of all I would like to reassure all those who may feel offended by this post. If you believe that any of these photos may offend you, please send me an email with the information about it and I will remove them immediately info@dayzblog.com.
The Czech Republic is a great nation, rich in history and territories of exceptional beauty. I think that should be visited to appreciate its beauty, traditions, breathtaking landscapes, people, monuments and not to make a pilgrimage to see the places where it is set Dayz. Do not go to these places to see the Dayz’ barns or look for a zombie, several people may be offended and irritated by this unpleasant invasion. Go to the Czech Republic .. do not go to Chernarus.)

JUST WANT TO LINK TO A NICE ARTICLE OF OUR CZECH FRIENDS THAT DID A REAL GOOD PHOTO REPORTAGE IN THE REAL PLACES OF DAYZ.

Just want to say that Bohemia Interactive has done a great job and I’m sure with ArmA 3 will improve the realism.

I quietly approached the barn armed with a revolver, I come in quickly controlling right and left. Quickly I hide behind the crates to the left and control on the balcony, on the other side. Nothing. I placed myself behind the crates.

I heard footsteps on the deck above me. I froze and take aim at the exit. He probably heard me or saw me come in and tells me: “Hey you!?”. I tell him I do not shoot him if he comes away from the barn but did not get a response. He comes down the stairs carefully and appears in front of my line of fire for just a moment. I could shoot him and he probably could but we not have done it. Following an exchange of words but strangely he did not seem to understand. (note: I understand I have a problem with the microphone and begin to talk via text chat).

Jeka is the name of my new companion in adventure and, like me, she is well equipped. She says she is waiting for a friend and after a few minutes he joins us, Tony Montano. We decide to go in search of a helicopter crash site and in a nearby plain we find one. We eliminate the zombies while Jeka approaches the site and then we reach her. We found a FN-FAL and a lot of ammunition, but nothing really interesting. We headed into the bush on top of a hill where our paths split up.

We parted with the wish to meet again and do not shoot each other.

I do not really know if we meet again, but I wish you GOOD LUCK, Jeka and Tony. The first survivors who have proved to be really friendly.

From now on no more shoot at sight.

This is DayZ..this is my story.

After being killed by man in ghillie suit I started my new apocalyptic adventure and as usual I’ve got the basic equipment in a city.
Then I headed into the area where I had been killed. I continue to believe that this is a perfect area to survive because you can find everything within a few kilometers. This week I have lived in the woods and exploring the various places, I’ve never had problems in finding food and drink and the ammunition were not a problem. Currently I have a AKS 74 – Kobra, a revolver (very good weapon) and during the explorations I replaced my ALICE backpack,found in the Cherno store, with Coyote Backpack. One night I decided to go further and explore a big city and especially the local hospital. Under cover of darkness was able to easily explore the west area, the hospital had the windows broken, and this was an indication that someone was already there but with surprise in one of the boxes of medicines I found a packet of antibiotics. After this great discovery and I headed back in the woods.

Nothing happened other than some far shoots and a car passed on the road at high speed and heading north-west.

In DayZ website are well highlighted three steps:
- scavenge
- slay
- survive

Scavenge:
Equip does not require further action such as building, mining, learn skills, experience points, etc.
You just have to go somewhere and search without being seen by zombies or survivors. What really matters is the player and not the character.

Slay:
You can choose to only kill the zombies or the other survivors.
You can kill only those who have good equipment or you can kill everyone on sight. You can even choose to remain in the shadows and avoid any kind of encounter. In Dayz if you meet an hostile group the fight is more balanced, is a real gunfight while in EVE Online is ALWAYS all against one, and becomes only a matter of time and luck if you die or live.
In Dayz is very easy to kill someone with better gear than yours.

Survive:
In Dayz you can live without any special features. You only need some matches, a hatchet and you can live forever. Also only surviving is interesting because you have to find food and water and this implies an interaction with the world of Dayz.

Finally, there is no endgame in Dayz … you just have to survive as long as possible. No matter the equipment you own … what matters is the minute that you can be in the game without dying.

This is Dayz … this is my story

The last day I decided to move further north but before I checked out a barn. I was in that barn many times and the zombies outside were no longer a problem. While I checked the items on the first platform I heard footsteps approaching and the characteristic scream of the zombies pointing out they had heard or seen someone.

I was not in a perfect location, behind some crates and a ladder to the left, but I had a good view of the staircase that led up to my level.

The fear grew as I heard the footsteps come ever closer.
Which of my weapons would have been better in that situation?
The M4A3 or Colt1911?
I chose the M4A3 thinking I had more available shots before reloading.

I held up the stairs at gunpoint while I could hear the footsteps of the man who was entering the barn.

The barn had two platforms on each side and hoped that the survivor would take the opposite to where I was … but it was not so. I saw him appear on the stairs. A man in a ghillie suite. I hesitated a second. My finger on the trigger dell’M4A3 started to put pressure on the cold metal. It seemed like an eternity. I could not afford to make mistakes or do not immediately kill the man. Instantly after my rifle fired a volley of three shots.

Damn it! I aimed at his head but the recoil and the instant of hesitation that I had made me completely miss the mark.
In a split second he was already on the moving platform and he started shooting at me. The shooting lasted just over two seconds, but, probably, we have fired more than 20 or 30 rounds. I did not manage to hit him because I was blocked by the stairs to the upper floor (I knew that this was not a good position!). He was without doubt the best at shooting and kept his cool.

I died.

(note: I wanted to congratulate my opponent even if you do not know his name and restate that bellissmo Dayz is really a game. I had an adrenaline rush during the shootout with my opponent that hardly forget.)

(tip: I learned many things from this event and I want to share with you.

- Never use the rifles in tight spaces
- In a shootout between two people at close range guns are preferred.
- If you’re forced to fight in a bad position, you must create a diversion. Launch a flare or a can and then assaults the opponent.
- Do not log out, you will lose a lot of fun.
)

I enjoyed this for a couple of spawn and I must say it was useful to break the tension of the game.

Then I headed for Cherno do some loot and look for a weapon. A new adventure was beginning and started positively. I entered to Cherno through the port and headed straight to the center of town where there are buildings very good for looting. After finding a Makarov and a good part of the equipment that I consider essential to begin to explore (see http://www.dayzblog.com/dayz-tips-guide/) I headed to the construction site to the east and then to the barn just north where I find a CZ 550.

After I moved away from Cherno I headed north to the Zub Castle. I have easily entered the castle, and inside I found ammunition for the CZ and some food. In the afternoon I decided to go north. I left the castle tower carefully as I could hear the zombies were particularly active. I approached the gate, and as I walked by I see a survivor who is entering prone. Everything was done in an instant. One moment to think … SHOOT! In that moment we looked into eyes … we targeted each other … I fired a whole magazine of Makarov on the target while trying to move but he shot me. I was badly injured .. and I was bleeding. I descended quickly down the hill and found a shelter where I bandage my wounds.

I turned my eyes towards the castle to find out if the survivor had followed me. Nothing. I was sure I hit him several times. (If you do not have a high value equipment is always worth to try to kill any survivor that could have a nice loot.)

I returned to the gate and the sound of flies predicted that I would find a dead body. So it was. The survivor was on the ground lifeless. I rushed in and rummage through his belongings with great satisfaction I have taken:
M4A3 CCO with several magazines
Colt1911 with different magazines
alice pack full of everything
map, clock, tent and more.

It was time to leave. This is Dayz …. this is my story.

• Try to understand where you are after you spawn. Keep in mind that you will spawn on the east or south coast. When you spawn in the lower right corner will appear the name of the nearest place. In doubt, go right.
• Keep an eye on indicators of hunger and thirst. Green is good, red is bad, very bad is flashing
• The canteen of water are consumed with each use and can be filled in lakes and / or wells
• Hold down SHIFT to walk silently, double-SHIFT to make it permanent.
• Clouds always move from west to east.
• F key to cycle through weapons and weapons mode (auto/semi).
• mouse wheel to cycle between the primary and secondary weapons.
• G key to open gear menu.
• Use right mouse click on hatchet when near a tree to harvest wood.
• Use right mouse click on matches to set a fireplace. Then on the fireplace menu you can fire it up.
• You can gut animals only if you have a knife.
• Cooked meat give you 800 blood.
• Road flares can be used to distract the zombie.
• Head to the nearest city/village and search for basic equipment (at least 1 drink, 1 food, 1 makarov, 2 clips, 2 bandages, 1 flares, 1 chemi lights, 1 hatchet, 1 knife, 1 matches, 1 heat pack, 1 morphine, 1 painkiller).
• When you have the basic equipment go in a forest.
• Search for better weapons in Fire Stations (biggest cities), Deer Stands (in the forests) and Airfields (SW – NE – NW).
• Search for better equipment (compass, map, binocular, bigger backpack). Barns are good places for that.
• Prefer quiter weapons (Military weapons are louder – Civilian weapons are quiter). If you fire with an AKM all the zombies in a km range will head to you.
• Keep your time and make all your moves stealthy.
• Don’t walk on streets.
• Act on the assumption that there might be someone near you, watching you, aiming at you.
• Don’t stay on the doors, on the stairs and open terrains.
• Always check the corners.
• Always check all the rooms in the building assuming that there is someone ready for an ambush.
• If you shoot someone his friend/friends can be just around the corner. Sneak away quickly, find a near hiding place and listen carefully for a couple of seconds. If you don’t hear nothing go back and loot.
• DayZ is a survivors game…who shoots first lives.
• Do not run out of drinks and food.
• DON’T TRUST ANYONE!!
• DON’T TRUST ANYONE!!
• DON’T TRUST ANYONE!!

I have eliminated a danger but the AKM had drawn all the zombies in the range of kilometers. I was surrounded. I shot some, but it kept coming relentlessly.

I decided to go out and try to escape the horde. Bad idea. Just outside the barn I get wounded by a dozen zombies and started to bleed profusely. I had to return to the barn to cure my wounds but inside there are lots of them. I try to stop the bleeding but I get still injured by the horde.

I’m desperate as I begin to feel faint. I can not see well, my vision becomes blurred. I HAVE TO ESCAPE!

Before leaving I had time to search out the body of the survivor I had killed. 5 steaks of raw meat… very useful. I ran out and headed towards a nearby forest and I have been able to lose track of me to the zombies, but I was still bleeding and I would not have much time before passing out. I injected a dose of epi to remain conscious and immediately after I bandaged the wounds. My condition was very serious, I did not see hardly anything (note: I had only 280 of blood!). I had to immediately recover strength before passing out completely. The only way was to eat meat, but I had to cook it first. Luckily I had everything in my equipment I need to start a fire. While preparing the fire I fainted but shortly after I recovered and I could cook all steaks. I eat and I felt better immediately. I was safe! (Notes: 6000 of blood)

(At this point I decided to log out and take a break. A few hours later I return to the game and surprisingly I find myself in the barn, still bleeding and with only a few hundred points of blood … the server had not recorded my last state.  The server wanted me dead.)

I’m dead.

During the eighth day I explored the area around the castle of Zeb and before the sun went down, I was back at the castle. During the approach I have heard several gunshots in the distance but I could not understand the direction.

I approached the castle from the south and I had a strange feeling. I prefered to double-check before entering the building and decided to hide behind a wall for a better look. As I lean over to watch the entrance to the main tower I saw two men out. I have been detected and immediately I heard one of them shouting: “FRIENDLY (?)”. I do not know if it is a question or a statement but I didn’t lose precious time and started to run down the slope. I’m running trying to get away as much as possible. I come near a large pine tree and hid among its branches and remain motionless. I try to see if they followed me.

A shot from the castle! Far away from me. two. three. many shots.
I’m confused. But I decide to stay hidden for a while.

Silence.

After some time I have decided to move.

I approached the castle with great care. I do not hear anything. Before entering I must scan the outer perimeter. Nothing. I decided to enter the tower. Moving slowly, checking every corner, I climb the stairs looking up. On the first floor there are two bodies lying on the ground.

I absolutely have to check the roof. Who killed those two is probably still on the roof. I climb the stairs slowly. There’s a body on top of the stairs. Another dead. I turn to check the entire roof. Another body.

There was a fierce gunfight.

While checking bodies I think what might have happened and I come to a conclusion.

At the same time that I was being seen by the two who were leaving the tower there were two others who came from the north. They have heard the shout “FRIENDLY” and approached the tower. The two that came out of the tower are felt surrounded by three (me and the other two from the north) and have decided to barricade themselves in the tower. There was a shootout between the four as I walked away. The last one left alive was probably bled to death.

Those four were well equipped and I have trouble figuring out what to get.
I took lot of AK ammunition and I took a lee enfield that I put in the Czech Backpack . I am fully charged and I decide to spend the night outside the castle.

What a surprise!
