I don't know a ton about arma mods but a melee weapon is just like any other weapon but with a custom animation and a very short weapon range, no? The people worried about balancing, while you are in range to stab a zombie they are also in range to hit you and you're gonna pretty much aggro everything in the vicinity. If a zombie takes two stabs before it gets taken down there's a pretty high chance you'll be bleeding out at that point. It just makes more sense that if you run out of bullets and have a hunting knife on you you'll use that instead of standing there with a sheepy look in your eyes while a zombie smacks you to death. Granted, you could run away but there's not really a proper way of outrunning them so having a knife(if you found one somewhere) to take care of one or two zombies as a last resort seems like a decent enough idea.

Yeah' date=' shouldn't be an issue... it hooks into the directx process iirc, just like a program like fraps would. Excuse me? Beta patch??? http://www.dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=449 <= there you go

Date/Time: 24th May 2012, Around 4AM GMT+1 What happened: 2 clanmates and I were playing on RU1 yesterday, looting Pusta and in the process losing quite a bit of blood. We made our way back over to elektro in search of some blood transfusion kits, while looting the hospital I ran out of ammo taking care of some zombies so I imagined I was pretty much doomed when a bandit promptly walked in as well. To my great surprise however I was able to shrug off about 20 shotgun shells straight to the face. Meanwhile one of my clanmembers was happily going about his business looting the store completely unharmed by the sniper that shot him about 10 times before getting shot in the face by the last member of our little survival group who was counter-sniping in the hills nearby, completely unfazed by the 20 zombies who were trying to smack the life right out of him. A couple of minutes and 20 dead zombies later we regrouped on the hills outside of town, bleeding like there's no tomorrow and very intrigued about what exactly was going on. We decided to see how long we could deal with this massive amount of bloodloss and all ended up dying at around -90000 blood. Not sure if it was a bug or some custom server setup but it felt fairly immersion breaking to all of us so we promptly left said server and haven't tried to play on it ever since. I can assure you that none of us were running anything other than a fresh install of Arma 2:CO with DayZ 1.5.8.4 (we all specifically bought the game to play this mod) Where you were: Pusta, Elektro What you were doing: Nothing special, just looking for some good items and such.

People generally don't disapprove of using ingame voip BUT set it to direct communication, having 40 people talking in the global voip chat can be fairly annoying. If you know a couple of people already a teamspeak 3 server is a really helpful tool. I can hook anyone up with one $4 per 25 slots...

Having people speak different languages adds to the immersion, if anything. Granted, having a server-wide chat is pretty immersion breaking in it's own but I don't see why it would affect the gameplay at all. You can't understand it anyway so why should it bother anyone?
