This thread is more of a jornal of my life in the world of Day Z. Day Z is a mod for Arma II operation Arrowhead. The engine is garbage and the game is so buggy, I know I am going to die in some horrible way not due to my fault or someone else eventually. Saying this, I have become a bandit. These are my stories.
You spawn on a coast with a few bandages and a flashlight. You must find food/water/heat/antibiotics(rare) as a minimum to survive.
There are zombies everywhere and normally 40 player servers. There are two major towns that most new spawns go to for supplies and weapons. Cherno or Elektro on the southern coast.

Day 1
I spawned and found my way into Elektro holding only an axe for protection. I am unfamiliar with where everything is but I manage to find a grocery store. Being hungry I figure thats gotta be a good place to find food. I hear many gunshots in the distance and some close. I heard someone say to not trust anyone EVER. In the grocery store I find food and a .45 revolver. I cant figure out how to use the sights but can still shoot from the hip. I see a man running from zombies outside and I point my gun at him in a defensive posture. He says with a brittish accent "Don't shoot I am friendly!". Well I can figure out how to aim so I say "Ok come on in". We kill the zombies pouring into the store. He says " I thought you were going to shoot me mate" I say I am a newb and cant figure out how to aim anyways." He says " you have to right click quickly" ME "thx man" BOOM! free shotgun.
Day 1-2
Fresh spawn on the coast running on the highway. I see a moterbike flying past me. Took a pot shot with my crossbow but its crap. He disappears into the distance. I hear an engine so I sneak up from bush to bush on the main highway side. I see the motor bike a car and two guys fixing the car. Seems the just finished fixing the tire. I bumrush them take a potshot with the crossbow and think I missed. Run straight for the car. Get in the back seat(was aiming for front). The guy standing next to the car sprays and ak through the window but i have moved to the front seat too quickly. start car take off full speed ROFL. I was almost out of range and they shot my back tire out then they killed me.
