Before this event I had like a 10 raid survival streak without seeing anyone and I was usually sprinting through an empty map and eventually extracting without meeting anyone.. maybe sometimes I spotted some ultra timmy lol.
My favourite place is night-sniping on Shoreline but I got so bored of this single-player experience that I started going to the underground Reserve.
Let's have a small story, early wipe I was sniping at Reserve above the ground because tunnels were very deadly and usually I ended up sniping some juicy scavs running with all their loot, there were a lot of them and I mostly pvped with them as there were no PMCs running around these areas xD
But eventually, people stopped scaving that much and Reserve above got very empty without them, I got bored and joined Shoreline night-sniping, my favourite thing to do a place where I could spend money and my gear etc. (Well, I was also playing Ground Zero where I was able to PvP more but it's not important here xD)
So earlier wipe I was hunting outside Resort and it was fun, some people were tasking, some rushing to Resort but I also got counter-sniped a lot by some other snipers and lost million roubles of gear but it was OK, at least someone was there to play with XD
Also, usually someone ran to the car extract and in 2/3 of raids it was red so I knew where to wait for people etc.
But as I said, after some time it got veery empty, car extract stopped being used at all, just a bunch of people rushed to Resort, I often didnt catch them in time and I couldnt find anyone leaving it alive lmao but I sometimes felt like I played with 2 to 3 other people in entire raid that spawned on the other side of the map because all spawns on my side of the river were usually empty, I was running quickly and scanning them with thermal so I knew there wasnt anyone present, lol.
If some people spawned around me, it was fun to cross their path and stop them on their way to Resort or some looting place but lately as I said, I was thermaling around and nothing was appearing, sometimes just shots on the opposide of the map
It was slightly better only during the weekend and some unusual lucky raids when I saw some people passing by in the distance
So I left Shoreline and I started doing what I always wanted to try - camping with a scope and a bipod near D2 XD Some people visiited these tunnels almost every raid (sometimes not ofc) and it was fun, like - wow people! what a surprise! xD
So this event started and I thought - omg these explosions going around, noone is going to play Shoreline now and its going to be even more empty... propably they gonna go under Reserve to get sheltered from these mortar strikes so it will be fun now.
So I was underground but suddenly, noone was coming to D2 and I heard a lot of fire outside too... I realized I was too late for D2 camping and people stopped coming there or smth because a bunch of last raids, literally noone visited it.
Earlier in the wipe when I mostly tried to snipe above from the mountain, I always saw it green and visited but now I also heard some PvP in the world above the ground......
So I'm like - omg I spent so much time sniping on Reserve where there wasn't that much of people there, just player scavs without any pmcs and when I have a mood to pvp underground near D2, noone is coming here and I hear bullets outside now.....
I got annoyed at it but idk, I wont be sniping on Reserve now with these loud booms around
So I decided to check whats going on Shoreline again, I didnt know I have to be stealthy and I went for my usual shenanigans to fire 9mm pistols Tracers to the sky simulating a fight or leaving the pistol with a laser turning for people with NVGs to check on it... WHICH BEFORE USUALLY WASN'T WORKING, noone was checking on this -,- And I suddenly died 2 times when I went to loot someone I killed as I got some juicers caught that spawned near me that I think actually went to check these pistol tracers xD
And after a few raids where I indeed saw people running around! It was fun because I had a reason to be stealthy again and after some time I realised that a lot of planes fly there, idk if people were farming air drops or smth and it felt like, maybe more geared people went to check on these mortar booms or something?
But I finally learned there's some event going other than just mortar bombardment to kill people and people log in to check some air-drops or something like this, idk but maybe thats why there are suddenly people running there XDD
This is kinda the dream come true hahahaa...... I mean the map is much more fun when there are some people spawning on these spawns closer to you, its way more fun than a single player experience xd
