Day Z Urban Legends

[DemonGroover 8836]

Has Day Z produced any of its own Urban Legends yet? You know stories you have heard via a friend of a friend's brother, but cant be confirmed with video or screenshots (because the person was too afraid...)

How about this one (which may or may not be true - thats the beauty of Urban myths), thanks to DietTaco

There is a story that I saw about a survivor finding a small light in the middle of the woods. It was a dark night and he followed the light until he saw a camp fire. Around it, he saw two bandits carrying hatchets, circling the fire, chanting strange words he could not understand. He watched as they dragged an unlucky sob around the fire, blood spewing out of his neck. As he finally regained conciousness he yelled out into direct chat, "JUST KILL ME DAMNIT!" They hatcheted him again to put him back into unconciousness. He obviously had his legs broken and couldn't escape, but he strangely maintained his life.

The survivor neared, unfortunately with no weapon, and saw the deadly truth: they were blood packing the victim, over and over and over again... At last, for one final time, the victim regained conciousness and killed himself by respawning, the sound of flies emerging at last.

The bandits then turned towards the darkest depths of the woods and said, "you're next."

A great story! Is it true? I would love to see proof.

Any more out there?

Bigfoot.

[oh_fudge 11]

a couple of people have posted fuzzy pictures of a tiger on this forum, saying it kills you in one hit, and that there's only one per server.

its obviously bs though lol.....right?

Has anyone else found the coveted Faygo Cola soda can yet? Rocket is a big fan of ICP so I heard.

Rocket is a big fan of ICP so I heard.

Probably not true, seeing how every ICP fan is mentally retarded.

Someone posted something about a Hachet murderer around Vybor I think. Next to the pond and bridge. He said he hid under the bridge and heard footsteps of the guy walk over him and say "Where'd you go boy? Hachet man gonna getcha"

Guy said he freaked out and ran off into the woods.

Now this might of been a random thing but two days after I ran into Vybor and there was a..........Axe swinging mad man killing people in town. Needless to say I remembered the forum post and decided to get out of dodge before this Abraham Licoln wanna be turned me into his next video.

My first day on Day Z I had no idea what I was doing, and I ended up leaving the coastline pretty quickly, getting myself lost. While I was looking around, a human character model wearing a Burqa, so that I couldn't see their face or model ran right up to me and looked at me. Then stopped, disappeared, and then reappeared out of sight and ran up to me again, looked at me, and disappeared.

I have never seen it since.

Well, once upon a time I had to respawn cause of me being dead, spawned somewhere near Kamenka and was making ma way to Cherno for some good starter lootz.

There I was crawling near some Zed, when suddenly I hear that *shuffleshuffle* crawling noise behind be, so I stopped instantly, turned around and BAM there was a Guy right behind me, unarmed. He scared the shit out of me but as the last of the Friendleecans, I starter talking via VoIP

"Yo dude, you f*cking scared me"

"Wanna tag along?"

-No response-

I continued crawling with him right in my Ass, still talking to him, still no response.

Once I got past the Zeds I hovered my Crosshair ( ye regular server ) over him and the tag said "Man".

Right at this moment I shat ma Pants cause the only "Man" tags are usually Zeds on my map.

I started running like the Devil himself was chasing me, looking behind me ever few seconds, No sign of him.

"Phew, the fuck was dat"

When suddenly that "Man" was right behind me again.

I scare-quitted the Game in an instant.

Haven't done any research yet but geeeez pretty Legen...wait for it...dary.

Love this story!

It would also make a great game mechanism by which to freak out bandits as well! You can imagine it now, the more murders you commit, the greater the chance that you get visited by weird apparitions like this one! Actions and consequences.

Wo. Ain't having a conscience a bitch!

[Bottlerocket 205]

Was there not some story about people coming across military patrols that one-shot you if you aimed at them? I even seem to remember pics of that one.

The only really wierd thing I've ever seen was coming across a body of a survivor in a field that was surrounded by about 20-30 bunnies, all hopping about merrily.

When I got close they stopped, and turned as one to look at me. I just ran the fuck off after that.

There is a legend about Chernogorsk and his citizens, one day someone asked if there was "anyone in Cherno" and suddenly died.

Clearly fiction because Cherno is empty and no one will try to kill the poor soul passing by.

Asking won't hurt.

My friend saw a tornado in the night, a huge moving dust clouds which made loud booms.

My friend told me about a bus stop in the middle of a forest. Some say it's haunted :o

[UndeadAssassin 23]

ive heard of people respawning as animals like birds(video proof on goodgame) or spawning as zed but then instantly dying and they then have a normal respawn...

lol those bunnys may be in a gang or some shit...

[KWilt 157]

Gather round, my kiddies! Boys and girls, children all about! Apostrophe next to the campfire, grab a can of beans and let me tell you of the most coveted treasure that the land of Chernarus has to offer! They say many a man have seen it, but not a single has laid his hands upon it! Wars had been fought for it, and many a million zeds slaughtered to even have it in your presence! Let me tell you the tale...

Of the Dew.

(And dangling from a tree nearby was a bloody hook.)

----------------------------------------

In all seriousness, I do have a very true, very mysterious story that I'll never forget.

Back in 1.7.1, I was just coming into DayZ. I was slowly evolving into the cold bandit I am today, but for what it was worth, I had enough kindness to help someone in need. I made acquaintance with a boy greener than spring grass who was trapped down at the Electro docks. After weighing on my good side that day, I made my way down from the dam, to the docks, to find that the greenhand was rescued by a Winchester-wielding man. The greenhand was thankful, but as a fresh spawner, he was with only a flashlight and no defenses at all. (Mind you, this was before the melee was implemented.) So deciding that a pair of gunners was better than just a shotgun alone, I grouped up with the duo.

Now, here's where the story goes astray. As the three of us made our way through the streets of Electro, looking for supplies to heal up the fairly-banged-up greenhand, we'd often become separated. As we turned corners, or walked through a doorway, our mute friend with the Winchester would seemingly disappear into thin air, only to reappear moments later in a completely different location. Knowing Electro fairly well, I chocked this up as his way of scouting, maybe taking a long way around a route to make sure that there weren't any hostiles trained on us. But as this phenomenon continued, I became very suspicious. Brushing it off as my ever-growing paranoia in DayZ, I thought nothing of it.

However, as we hit the western border of the Electro docks (having circled back out to the edge, so as to have a fairly-open view) a few shots fired off in our direction. Ordering the green to book it out of the city and into a nearby patch of trees, I felt bad that we might lose our mysterious second gunner. Looking over my shoulder as we ran, I saw no hide nor hair of the fellow. I had to admit, I was a tad bit saddened, but splitting up might've been the best idea. Taking nestle in the trees, myself and the green checked our bearing, prepared to make for Cherno for the supplies we hadn't been able to find. However, as I turned to look out toward the road to Cherno, I saw something peculiar...

Here he came, our Winchester wielding bravado. Nearly 100 meters off track, and with no hinting of our location at all, he had found us. I was honestly struck with awe. Being a fan of the Fallout series of games, there was only one thing that came to mind when he came strolling up to us.

This mas was the Mysterious Stranger.

And so, we continued. North to Prigorodky. West to Vysota. All this time, traveling through fields. Nothing to block or view, nothing to obscure or vision of this Mysterious Stranger besides lone sparsing of bushes. And yet, every five minutes I glanced over my shoulder, he'd disappear behind one bush, and reappear five minutes later behind another. But the kicker is yet to come.

As we headed south, into the hills above the hospital, I gave one final glance to this Mysterious Stranger. He stood up, gave me a salute, and with that, promptly disappeared. Now, I suppose you could justify that last disappearance as a disconnect. But I have no clue, no justifiable idea, how he could track us all the way along that coastline, and continue to keep pace with us if he kept D/Cing and R/Cing, without us uttering a single message outside of direct chat.

So if you're ever on the coast, in need of help, and you run into a man with a Winchester strapped to his back, take a second. He's a fuckin' guardian angel, that one is.

You don't have to believe me, but that doesn't make it not true.

How about the thread about the fabled walkie-talkie radio where if you pick it up you hear a numbers station that spews out map coordinates of the deer stands?

I had one of those yesterday. But it didn't give me co-ordinates for deerstands but for tents :) (Those set down by survivors)

[UndeadAssassin 23]

if only that mysterous stranger had a revolver as the original had im pretty sure a 44 magnum

Yeah. But hey, when you're in the middle of a fucking zombie apocalypse, any gun that's not trying to shoot at you is a good gun in my eyes.

yeaah lol good point there's been so many it's sad the number of stone cold killers these days.

and in new vegas the trail carbine aka 1866 winchester repeating rifle still uses 44 magnum rounds so close enough.
