DayZ – Jeka and Tony Montano

The area where I live recently is populated with other survivors and whenever I’m in exploration I have to proceed with extreme caution. In recent days I have often heard gun shots at close range but I’ve never seen anyone.
Yesterday while I was exploring a farm I glimpse a survivor running toward the barn. He did not see me and then I decided to position myself in the trees and watch his moves. From the quick glance I saw that he had an assault rifle and shooting from the barn was one who did not spare bullets. I position it among the branches of a pine tree, and I keep it under exit the aims of the barn from which I could also see part of the staircase. Other hits from the barn. I look around, all those shots could attract other survivors and their friends could be nearby. After several minutes without hearing or seeing anything I decide to enter the barn. A voice inside me saying “Go away! No one has seen you. You can go away quietly. Go away!”. I really had much to lose but I decided to go anyway.

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.

DayZ – A quiet week

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.

DayZ – Personal thoughts

After playing many hours Dayz and after finding my way in this apocalyptic world I would like to share with you readers my personal thoughts about this wonderful mod.
In my life I’ve played many games and only one can compete with Dayz regarding the intensity of emotions aroused: EVE Online.
I am a veteran of EVE Online and in Dayz I found again the tension in dealing with another player, the adrenaline rush killing an opponent, the terror of not knowing what you expect in a few moments, the gratification of exploring unknown places. In a few months Dayz has matched subscriptions of EVE Online (the sandbox for excellence) and this can not be an accident.
Many points are in favor of Dayz:
1) Even alone you can be successful . This was true for EVE online a few years ago but after the changes in the mechanics of the game is no longer possible to play EVE Online and be successful alone.
2) Dayz is very real while in EVE online have recently introduced the human characters and in any case there is still no interaction between them.
3) In Dayz you lose everything if you die, but it is easy to regain the lost items. In EVE there is insurance but to be competitive you must have items of high value and losing a ship several billion worth is frustrating.
4) many other reasons that it is better not to face here;)

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

DayZ Day 11 – The Ghillie Man

With all my new equipment I lived for a couple of days in a forest near a village. I chose this area because little crowded and full of facilities in which to find other equipment. During the two days I’ve never seen anyone and I had only fired a few shots to kill a boar in the forest from which I have got good steaks.

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.

DayZ Day 10 A nice restart

After the server had decided that I had died I wanted to take a few hours of entertainment without thinking of survival. After being spawned I headed to Cherno and went into town and running without worry of being seen and chased by zombies or survivors. Was exhilarating to be chased by a dozen zombies and enter a house where there was a poor survivor of intent to collect food. At first it appeared uncertain whether to shoot me or the horde of zombies that came into the room without stopping. Fired a shot at me and then pointed his Makarov toward zombies horde, another shot to me and another burst of gunfire toward zombies … he was really confused. Obviously in the end I was killed, but he probably did not survive.

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.

DayZ Day 8 Surprise!

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!

DayZ Day 5 Mishkino

At dawn of the fifth day, after eating and drinking, I decide to go to Mishkino, a village that given its location should not attract a lot of bandits.

I decide to take it easy and travel slowly. I did not have cans of beans and almost no water, it’s better not to waste energy. Once I arrived near the village I settle under a tree in sight of the outer buildings to assess the situation. I spend several hours, motionless, peering into zombies that wander through the buildings. When I decide to get up and go into the village I have sore muscles and a volley from the AKM bursts into the valley. WTF! In a few seconds a dozen zombies are upon me, and I find it hard to shoot them down. The AKM, however, not forgive and in a few tens of seconds are all grounded. This neglect has cost me 3 magazines of AKM.

Finally, within the village, no zombies around, I seized a house and get ready for the night.

The first night in a house. Probably this will be the first and last night I spend in a building at night … the screams of the zombies in the streets do not help you sleep and there was also the visit of someone with a vehicle which has inspected the roads that literally terrified me.

The video cannot be shown at the moment. Please try again later.

DayZ Day 4 Not a nice farm

I wake up early in the morning, I did not sleep well but sheltered under the branches of the pine I have not suffered much from the cold. I’m thirsty and hungry and I drink from the bottle while controlling Pavlovo with binoculars. Strangely I do not see zombies wandering the streets.

I decide that I should not miss this opportunity and start to get close to the village. Apparently no one around. Checking every corner, checking all the houses … nothing. A rabbit walks beside me and reminds me that I have not eaten. I open my backpack to take the can of beans … I do not find … gone! Stupid! I just throw this out when I was in the forest but then I decided to explore the village. Would be useless and dangerous to go back and search for it. I could probably shoot the rabbits but would draw the attention of the zombies or bandits. I have to go north. Maybe I’ll find some animal in the forest to feed me.

I enter the forest north of Pavlovo and I go slowly because of hunger. I can not find any animals. I strive to move forward. The path becomes increasingly difficult. Finally I arrived at the edge of the forest in view of two buildings. It’s a farm!!…a barn and a pigsty…and many zombies around. I’m hungry and I can not go forward. I must eat something!.

The plan is to explore the two buildings in search of food without being seen by the zombies. I slowly approached the barn, a zombie comes up to me at very short distance. I hold my breath. He is just steps away from me. Luckily he has a damaged eye and can not see me. I am inside the barn with large open doors. If I close the doors would draw the attention of the zombies. I have to work carefully. I find some ammunition, two crossbows and bolts, a bit ‘of morphine, but nothing to eat. I go through a small door and head for the stye.

On the other side of the room I see something on the ground and a door on the right. I move cautiously. WTF only other darts. I enter the room on the right and finally find some cans of beans. Outside I hear the groans of many zombies and I decide to eat immediately, even if the place is not exactly healthy.

Now I must find a way out through dozens of zombies. I go slowly through the door but just off a zombie sees me and starts running towards me. In a few seconds many zombies are upon me. I start to run frantically towards the nearby forest, but several zombies are chasing me. I turn around and start shooting. One of them hurt my arm and started to bleed. They are all on the ground and I look around to see if more come. One zombie is approaching and I hit him in the head from a distance. Quickly I bandage the wound and head for the safety of the forest.

After a long climb, reached the top, I decide to camp and rest.

DayZ Hacked

The devs posted in the official forum this statement:

“A person has gained access to our main email account which have details listed for our FTP’s, etc. He then uploaded a malicious application to the US file host which has since been taken offline.
The file was called dayz_auto_updater.exe This malicious software is lead to be a backdoor / bot. Below is the ThreatExpert report on this file.

http://www.threatexpert.com/report.aspx?md5=ead7a55075d5ce1a32353832bed88069

ThreatExpert also explains where this malicious application installs / moves its processes to stay hidden within your computer. So if you are a user who has downloaded the .exe called dayz_auto_updater.exe from the US Mirror is to scan their computer against viruses and read the description by ThreatExpert on where to locate this if your Virus detector does not pick it up.”

So if you downloaded dayz_auto_updater.exe take immediate action.

I just want to clarify that I have recommended in THIS post to download DayZ Updater and this is NOT in any way related with the dayz_auto_updater.exe that was uploaded in the official DayZ repository. DayZ Updater is safe as far as i know.
