IMO it's litle boring without global chat, I kinda miss it.

I'm playing less now, thus not adding to number of people who die quickly..

YES I can't think of better suggestion, so I'm up for it. Will bandits hear a hearbeat from their bandit mates?

So are you ditching the starting gun for this patch, Rocket?

YES I've suggested this myself ealier. It'll makes it feel more special when you actually find a gun, and it will encourage some teamwork between freshly spawned survivors.

Sounds like some awesome improvements, looking forward to see the new zombie animations.

I'd love to see some more variation in players start skin. There are plenty of PMC skins unused. I know some of them have headsets. But isn't that ok? I don't mind it for having for more diversity. And I hope Rocket plans to add a lot of new skins to pickup. Maybe use some of the community made skins, like the Stalker skins I've seen shots of. Here's a shot of the PMC skins:

well, i disagree. the pmc skins are cool.

It's a MINOR pvp balance issue at best IMO.

225 square km's, and a player spawn on top of another player... yeah, that's unlucky. :)

hehe, or make zombie sounds..

Let's roll with this new unique skin concept. Hopefully Rocket will add a ton of different skins (use some more PMC skins too), and we'll see how it plays out. It's tense to meet other players now, no indication of past murderers, I like it. But we do need direct chat ASAP.

I bet it has advantages playing as female. Say you encounter a stranger - Wouldn't you be less likely to shoot if it was a female?

I can say that direct chat doesn't work me so far when I use latest Arma2 beta patch. I assume other clients have to use it too? And server?

Wohoo!!

I like your version better, Megagoth. The current sound sounds unnatural to me.

Ha, it's funny because it's true.

haha *people talk loud on the bus* - DON'T TALK ON GLOBAL!!!

darkmagic, i think hitting backslash removes the text on screen. i hope it gets easier to pitch a tent, i wasn't able to do it today.

How about mixing up 1 and 2? DayZ logo on front, and 'I survived DayZ alpha' text only on back. That's how I would roll.

yeah well put DRHTX.

ahahaha, all good ones. - when i hear church bells i think of cherno or elektro.

Awesome, thanks Rocket.

I agree loot, and weapons especially is too common. It should be an achievement to find a rifle. Personally I don't care about people who disconnect, for me this game is not about beating a high score, it's about being immersed and have fun with the game.

Viewdistance is set server side. And in general you don't have to restart the game after you change viewdistance.
