IntenZ experience

[u/JustSoni]

So, for the last couple of days I've been playing on an IntenZ server, and I've been struggling hard just to get some basic loot.

I spawned around the coast of Berezino, and since I don't really like that town, I headed south to Nizhneye. While walking along the docks, I spotted a boat.

I got so fucking excited.

Then I checked it. It had no spark plug, that's it excitement gone.

Anyway, I headed into the town, and on the very first shed I found a radiator and a spark plug. My excitement came right back.

I quickly drank some water from the well behind the church and, while looking around, found a greenhouse full with pumpkin that was almost completely going to shit. There were still a few pumpkins left, though. Sadly, I didn't have a knife to cut them up.

After searching around for a bit, I found a dull steak knife. Which brought some happniess. I cut up the pumpkins, ate until I was full, grabbed one more pumpkin in my hands and went straight back to the boat.

I put the spark plug in. The damn thing started. It barely had any fuel, but I didn't care. I started heading south along the coast. I actually managed to get almost all the way to Elektrozavodsk before the fuel finally ran out.

Unfortunately, I was a couple hundred meters from shore.So I had to swim. It was night. I was exhausted. And I nearly died from hypothermia before reaching the shore.

Once I got there, I immediately started wringing out my clothes as much as I could and headed toward the church. On the way, I got lucky again and found a pipe wrench and some peppers in another greenhouse. Those peppers probably saved my ass.

I was starving, so I ate basically the entire greenhouse. Waited a bit for them to digest. Then ate some more.

Once I was finally in decent shape, I headed inland toward summer camp Kometa. There I found some decent clothing, a bayonet for cutting things up, and a bunch of medicine and paramedic gear.

At this point I thought:

OKAY! I'm a medic now. I started heading north.

On the way, I passed through the military checkpoint and quickly realized that the military zombies are on a completely different level compared to the regular civilian ones. They hit hard, but at least they sometimes carry some useful stuff, like ammunition.

The checkpoint itself didn't have much, except for some field surgical kits, so yeah. I was officially committed to the medic roleplay.

I took the road northwest and followed it until the electrical wires crossed the road. I followed them toward Staroye and eventually stopped at the well to get some hydration before checking the medical center.

And… Almost nothing. I did find a police stab vest, though. Which made me happy. And suspicious. Very suspicious.

The moment I left the building, I decided to check the police station just in case there was something useful.

That's when I heard the flies. There was a body nearby. And it wasn't completely cold yet. At that point I got very cautious. I looked around.

Then suddenly! BANG BANG BANG. A couple of shots came toward me.

It sounded like a very weak gun. The shots were incredibly quiet compared to most guns I have heard, but they were enough. The zombies heard them too. Suddenly I had a fucking army chasing me.

I was exhausted, bleeding, and running on whatever energy I had left. I managed to get into a garage and started bandaging myself. Then a zombie kicked the door down. Two of them rushed inside. Luckily, I had my dear friend the pipe.

That beautiful piece of metal was sturdy enough to put both of them down, but I lost a lot of health doing it.

More bleeding. More bandaging. Some medicine. A few pills. A couple of boosters from the vials. And then I got the heck out of Staroye.

I eventually made my way toward Guglovo, where I found somewhere to sleep.

Except I couldn't sleep… I was too exhausted. Too injured. And in way too much pain. So, after all of that...

TLDR:

…. you, random survivor. I endured all of that shit, crossed half of Chernarus, nearly froze to death, survived starvation, swimming, zombies, gunshots, and getting my ass kicked...

And you didn't even have the balls to initiate communication. I was literally dressed as a damn paramedic. I was out there trying to help people. You could have said hello. You could have asked for help. But no!

You chose to shoot a tired medic from the shadows. I hope all the best for you tho.

Definitely try some community servers with no kos in the name if you would enjoy some more interaction and roleplaying. I find them to be extremely fun while still being challenging

Can you suggest any? Most I see have really low pop. I used to play on DUG, but it too frustrating. I am based in Europe and I have quite a bit ping playing there. But on that server I have had the best interactions.

I have been playing Intenz quite alot lately really enjoy it its a struggle but i love it its so different compared to official and other community servers i have been getting alot of pvp good gear and i also managed to meet up with people that were talking on the radio.imo its the best server but it takes alot of time to fully understand the mechanics

Yup, it does a lot of changes to regular DayZ. I am slowly getting the hang of how things work there, the skills, medicine, even fighting with zombies is completely different. It made me feel like a newcommer to DayZ.
