I Tried Official DayZ Servers as a Solo and Here's What Happened

Hey everyone, Sour here. Today I dove into an official server as a solo, to see how my experience would pan out to be. It didn't go quite how I expected it to compared to every other time I've played on official, so as always, I hope you all enjoy!

Always do enjoy the vids & live streams too. Watching you is real entertainment, there's action, excitement, tense bits, laughs & relaxation too. It's all in there. Thank you Sour! 😊

It’s so crazy in this game it is totally possible to have 1000 hours and only a few kills or no kills at all, and it’s what I love about it as well it’s not all run and gun all the time and when you run into someone that adrenaline shot is like no other game out there.

Proper night brings a whole new experience to the game that is saddly missing on a lot of community servers. Like most people, when I first started playing DayZ it was on offical servers. I remember seeing a guy sat by a fire in the middle of nowhere. I snuck up to probably within 10 meters of him, watched him cook some food, then snuck off. He never knew.

When there’s plenty of hostility and hot conflict in a video game, and the moment when you meet friendly people, it’s a wholesome experience. It got a special feeling to it.

Not everyone’s bad in this game and that’s why I like it. Most people will shoot on sight without thought, but the few who don’t are the people I appreciate most. One time I was walking down a road and a fully kitted guy just started talking to me. Asking how my day was, if I need anything from him, stuff like that. Even though I told him I didn’t need anything, he still ended up giving me a revolver(I was a fresh spawn). David reminds me of him. People can be amazing. Remember that Sour. I love your content. Stay Sweet.

My theory is that the stash belonged to David who collected it over his 1000 hours however grew tired of killing people and decided to just put away everything he had. This way he would be carefree of any need to desperately survive and at the same time limit the killing of players by others since he had the weapons. I believe that is why he was so far inland in just spawn clothes, trying to live life slowly and find a sense of happiness in the lonely world of DayZ. I know it seems far fetched but putting together David's calm demeanour and willingness to leave the game just like that I feel like it may be true and more so I want it to be.

The interaction you had with David is why we love you sour. Awesome video one of my favorites so far.

This man gives me the reason to binge watch DayZ for hours instead of playing it myself, I feel like I'm in the moment with the guy scared still after 2 years of watching. Keep up the good work Sweet!

[d.j.wattson]

It absolutely blows my mind that I was playing this crazy, wonky, unique game 11 years ago, putting well over 1000 hours into it, having moments I can recall to this very day, and here we are in 2022 and people are still enjoying that same rush only a game like DayZ or ARMA can give you. As much as I wish the game could’ve seen a more fleshed out final product, I’m happy to see it get the recognition it deserves

[chrismcknight]

Me and my wife make our own server so we don't have to deal with all the jerks. We are basically training for either to open our server to everyone or go into normal maps. We've learned a lot on how to survive in this game.

[patitos]

I normally don't watch DayZ videos but this one was amazing, I felt like I was watching a movie, the music, the text, the people, the situations, everything was beautiful and exciting. Watching David being so friendly and thinking of him getting killed was driving me crazy. I really enjoyed the video and sorry for the bad english if I wrote something weird. <3

[MaTtRoSiTy]

This man really knows how to turn a bit of DayZ into something like an episode out of some series. I was just gonna have a quick look but could not stop watching lol

[shaderxluna]

The duo of David and Louie was truly a beautiful thing. I started dying when David said Louie has a clean voice. I'm laying here watching the video at 1 in the morning trying not to fall asleep so I can finish it lmao

[ayyjack]

David has discovered what we all know. Sour's voice is 10/10.

[saraheveleduc]

19:35 This subtitle made my day lol. Being a non-english person, I got confused first, then understood the subtility. Love it. I would have probably said the same thing as this guy

[Justin-uwly]

Damm I wish I met this David guy in a random server. We need more players like him

[crabnfever]

I think the craziest thing is you actually found friendly players in official, usually everyone kills on sight or they travel around with you for a couple minutes and then they ask you the deadly question of " you got any friends nearby" and at that point you gotta kill them before they shoot you in the back

[IReITaN]

This episode really captured the true essence of DayZ, random friendly encounters, firefights, exploring the unknown, this is what makes this game still as relevant and unique as ever 🖤

[jords_h]

The interaction you had with David is one of the main reasons I play I love positive interactions and just talking in game with people, my first interaction with other players was like that we traded guns and food and left a city to go our own ways

[robertesparza]

I’ll never forget my first ever gunfight in Dayz with my group and another group and we stopped mid firefight because it was nighttime and nobody could see anything. Best and funniest moment I had on dayz
