hi. I recently signed up to Urban Dead.com and was browsing alliances at
wiki.urbandead.

I saw your SAS alliance and wondered if you were still operational, and
whether you were taking any new members.

I couldn't see your alliance advertising in the Recruitment section of the
wiki site, so I wasn't sure how to apply, and if you guys are still active.


hit me back if you need more info.

my in-game name is "Wesli" (military - scout), level 1.

so now I'm here... hi.

I'm a n00b, signed up last week. my in game name is "Wesli" (Military - Scout), level 1, currently with 23 exp. points.

currently located in the suburb of Tollyton, I've been keeping safe, gaining exp, collecting items and basically tuning into the game. No clear objectives as of yet.


so I realise theres not much action going on right now, what with the holidays and christmas etc. I still need to read all other threads and get to know whats what. just thought I'd make a quick intro.

any tips on gaining exp, buying skills etc would be much appreciated. I still got a bit to learn.

well I started out with nothing more then a axe and focused on my attacking skills, as your military you do get your skills at a better rate of points. I would get CC skills up first then focus on your "ranged" skills. Also dont waste your ammo untill you have the ranged maxed as its just a waste of shots and you wont hit shit. The other thing i really recomend you do is try and stick with the rest of us, a low lvl scout isn't a good thing to be as there the ones used as zed spies, so tend to get taken out as soon as they stay in a safe house, you stay with us and we will try and protect you, and if you get dropped at least we will be there to help you up. Just my oppinion anyways, you might get a better answer from one of the leaders.

Hey, I'm a new recruit too. At the moment, I have no idea where I should go to meet up with the rest of you. Currently, I am also a level 1 scout, but do have 133 XP saved up, going for nt employ. Heard scanning was a good way to get lots of xp, quickly.

Thanks, I'm currently in roachtown

[The PolterGhost]

Well, Roftwood's Hildebrand Mall isn't a bad place to start, fight some zeds and PKers, get revived fairly easily if you die, have access to lots of free stuff when you get the "Mall Shopping" tree...it works great.

Scanning WAS a good way to earn XP. Unfortunatly, it's not anymore. Now the best ways to earn XP are healing people and...well, healing people. Get yourself the skill that allows you to choose which shop to pilfer in malls, then raid the pharmacy. Get yourself tons of FAKs, then run around healing people to death...or something. I'm sure there's enough idiots that need help somewhere.

[wesli]

ah jeez, now I'm dead. what do I do?

there seems to be a couple revive points near me. one was a necro tech facility. I waited inside the building where there were two high level revivers, looked hopeful. logged in next day and some asshole had blown the shit outta me and baricaded the building.

meh.. could try the cemetery. are all cemeteries automatic revive points?

[The PolterGhost]

Not quite. They're iffy, if that. Just give us your location, we'll revive you...

[wesli]

yay! I'm alive again. I was at the Sidoli building [63,66] in Tollyton. thankfully someone used a syringe on me so I'm back in business.


I'm gonna try find my way back into Woodroffe mall. apparently the zombie horde in the SE corner is dwindling. slowly.

and now my "safe"house just got hit - i'm a z now, but now located 65,82

oh and 1 alliance you may wish to look into (just a suggestion) is S.T.A.R.S.- they're an anti-zed group dedicated to protection and assisting survivors

[wesli]

I'm about to hit 75 experience points and will soon buy my first skill.

any advice on what my first skill should be?

basic firearms seems the obvious one. should help me gain XP quicker.

[Sergeant Bee]

FREE RUNNING!

Thats the best one to have - means you can go from building to building without stepping outside (unless you have no option) means you can get in those EHB buildings - you just have to find the buildings that are deliberately set to VSB (often labelled "LEAVE AT VSB+2")

then worry about other skills

[wesli]

^its alright I'm a military scout so I had the freerunning ability from the start of the game. (i knew it would come in handy)

so yeah, I just got basic firearms, which makes it a helluva lot easier to accumulate XP. seriously, wasting 30 action points just for 2 XP is ridiculous. it took me a month to buy my first skill and finally level up.

hey, Sgt. Bee, seeing as you are the only active one around here, where abouts are you? you wanna add me to your contact list?

atm I'm in Cape Avenue PD, Edgecombe [78,56] map

...trying to find some more pistol clips.

[Michael Powell]

Hello Wesli..

Sorry for the late reply... (Due to reasons I am not allowed to say)

ALL RECRUITS WHO WANT TO JOIN!

You are hereby accepted (I know its too late) to the SAS. If you don't want too, thats okay.. We understand...

But if you do, you will, from now on.. put "Special Air Service" in your group name.

Your first objective is to level up so that you can help us.

[wesli]

yeah!!!

I feel privilaged.

haha, thanks. seriously, its an honour to finally bear the winged dagger emblem.

so in the meantime I'll gain as much experience as I can so I can be of more use to you guys later on.


btw, I swear it was completely random that I ran in to you today. ;D actually I been wanderign around edgecombe for the last couple of days but its a nightmare cos all the damn baricades.
